Batman Odyssey: Shirtless and Caffeinated
Neal Adams' Batman: Odyssey returns from hiatus, post-DC-reboot, with a new #1. Except, once you look inside, you realize it's the same story that was going on pre-reboot. But this is Neal Adams and he didn't get the chance to finish his (apparently) epic tale of Ra's Al Ghul and his son, Sensei, blah blah blah.
I am not reading this book because there are heists and people killing children and Deadman possessing The Joker, even though that was cool.
No, I am reading this title because five out of the previous six issues have started with a shirtless, hairy-chested Batman talking to someone about what's happening in the story, and as with this issue (#7, labeled #1, but... it's #7,) I read the shirtless parts, set the comic down, and somehow forgot I didn't finish the comic until I tried to review it.

Beware My Bling: Green Lantern Animated Series
When DC's animation department announced that they were going to start a Green Lantern tv show, I probably yawned. It's no secret that most of us here find the Lantern Corps. boring. Nothing against the thousands of fans of the comic book, but Hal Jordan just doesn't appeal to us.
During New York Comic Con this year, Bruce Timm (who executive produces the show) debuted the series first episode. We didn't get to see the episode, but after the jump we have some info on the two part premiere, including a look at some clips from it, and our thoughts.

Book Review: Feed
I’ve been feeling guilty lately over my reading habits. Mainly the habit of never reading anything my brother asks me to read. His taste, however, is sometimes questionable. He’s sent me three copies of Stranger in a Strange Land because he keeps forgetting that he gives it to me. I think I’m the only person in the universe who really doesn’t like that book. He’s also trying to get me to read the Repair Man Jack series, but I just don’t have the time. And the Dark Tower series, which I have no interest in. However, I finally took one of his recommendations and read Feed by Mira Grant.

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Recap: "Triumph of the Green Goblin"
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends is the cartoon that made me the geek I am today. It's true. It was my first exposure to the world of superheroes that I love so much. I don't even remember how old I was when I first saw it and Spider-Man became my favorite character.
It's also the origin of my love for Cyclops and Doctor Doom. It just goes to show you how little I have actually changed since I was a toddler. The fact that this Holy Grail of my geekdom is now streaming on Netflix Instant has provided me with two wonderful opportunities. The first is to share it with my two-year-old nephew, who now insists on watching it with me every time I see him. The second is to make fun of it, hopefully, for the enjoyment of you, dear reader. In that spirit, I have recapped the first episode, "Triumph of the Green Goblin."

Green Means Go, Red Means Kill
My obsession with the Red Lanterns is no secret. (See here and here.) I love angry cats and I also love being angry. Really, I do. It’s liberating. This is why I’m pleased with the direction the Red Lantern book is going. In the second issue Atrocitus asks the all important question for the Red Lanterns: is some rage more justifiable than others?
