Celestial Pulse (a review)

Last month I attended Ohayocon, which happened to be the very first con I went to back in high school almost a decade ago. It was pretty okay, though very different from what I remembered, and I got some good loot, which is always a plus. As per usual…

Comics I’ve been reading pt. 8

Doctor Strange acting Strange, Sad Clowns, and Penguin Waiters — I love the holidays, I truly do. But every single year, I’m glad when they’re over and I can return to my hermit lifestyle. So, after being busy with overtime, getting sick with Covid, catching up on three series I follow, and procrastinating on my WIP, I finally got back…

Reading Frank Miller’s old stuff

I’ve ragged on Frank Miller a couple of times on this blog for being the crazy grandpa of comic books. This is mostly because his output between the late 90s to mid-2000s were questionable at best and outright racist at worst. In fact, it used to be popular to…

My take on Japanese Curry

About a month ago, I came across a video about a Japanese curry, and it looked tasty. Unfortunately, like many YouTube shorts, there weren’t any specifics about ingredient proportions. I, like the logical millennial I am, looked up the recipe online, and was met with frustration. The results I got…

So this is New Year's (2022 is over)

Huh, it’s New Years. Well that came sooner than expected. 2022 has been an absolute roller coaster of a year on all fronts; at least for me. I got a new job, was able to pay off my car, published a poetry book, and made a good dent in the…

The blanket, the cat, and I.

A few years ago, I was given a blanket for Christmas. This wasn’t an ordinary blanket, no no! It was one of those fuzzy blankets that would warm you up in seconds and keep you warm through a long winter night. Super cozy and perfect for hermits like me. I…

Getting into the holiday spirit with The Punisher

Review: The Punisher Holiday Special #2 — I had a hard time figuring out what I was going to write for Christmas this year. It’s too late for me to review an entire series like I did a few years ago (though Grant Morrison’s Klaus would’ve been an obvious choice). And I don’t own many Christmas comics…

The Bittersweet Beauty of ‘Our Colors’

Growing up and becoming your own person isn’t easy, especially when you’re a teenager. There’s school, socializing with classmates, and thinking long and hard about the future. We all look back on those days and laugh at how much we stressed over small problems but at the time, something as…
