What's the reason of why 9/11 seems to be.....

 Hey I have chosen not  to have an opening for this very entry and that's because it seems as if we as now please do not get me wrong, it was twenty five years ago today on a Tuesday morning that something really awful had happened and I don't know exactly why but to me it seems as if we are Americans have decided to, can I dare say it that we have forgotten what had happened in New York. This morning before leaving for work today on Facebook I had asked family and friends if they remembered where they were when they had heard of the World Trade center twin towers came down to ground level of the streets. Why were we able let terrorists board those four planes. Yes there was more just the weight of our confidence that was taken from us... in fact those very terrorists in a way did successfully succeed in their attempt to spread one thing above all else... And that was...                                                                                                                                    I am sure that we all have heard that in someway in news reports or from the internet since that very day that the towers fell that our president George Washington Bush was someway or other involved with why the attack had happened in the first place and if not him his father George Herbert Bush may of had begun business with someone in those parts of the world known as Islam. Long before he was a plotical candidate of the Republican party he was an business man who was a oilman who may or may not had made a deal with the plotical people in Islam of a particular way of getting oil into the United States, but whatever was promised to the Islamic government hadn't had come from George H. Bush and over time the religious beliefs of their country took over the government maybe? I  know that I can't say that,  that is why years later on why they chose to spread their way of fear on the United States.  All we know was the said terrorists were lead by a leader named Osama Bin Laden overall from Islam he ordered his relationship with God as he saw it was to be spreading into the free world, a world away.                                                                                                                                                                  It's still sad and tragic to seeing even twenty five years later Osama's planning has worked out even though we in the United States have caught and killed him. Terrorism has been around even longer than the Islamic world has existed and will sadly be part of the negative values of those who don't understand kindness at all and that even includes someone who has to much of wealth or even someone who refuse to learn to be humbleness in life. But what is wrong I believe is Social Media keeps fueling more negatively than anything else more times than not.                                                                                    Every time I have written about the events of today in the past I have wanted to always be thankful for the help of the police and Emergency medical tarrma teams that day and even still till today, I always thank them for making our everyday life safer than their brothers and sisters did by sadly losing their own existence.  I  honestly hope that this will help us all see to be that force doesn't have to come from fearfullness to be a creative hope in the world today or tomorrow for that matter too!

Been a year in waiting or nearly so....

 Hey All my wondering readers of DaylifeoftheMatt blog,                                                                Boy I have been so very much busy one way or another over this past year with so many new ideas and I will admit that I have been wanting to getting back around to many things over this past year and still feel like I haven't scratch the very surface of where I want to be! Now I will actually admit that I don't live where I used to of at this place seen here 

                                                                                484 Gage Blvd in Richland, Washington and even though the picture is from a few winters ago the reason of why I moved deep down in myself may still feel uncomfortable for me but when I am ready I will let you all know the reasons of why it happened. And no this isn't the main thing that is a year of being reached like the title says.... but before I get completely away from it I will be sharing my new address so if you want to write me I am okay with that if you like. Recently a couple of weeks ago at Barnes and Nobles I had found a very interesting book titled The Superman Wars which I might bring up posting wise sometime near the middle of this very month.                                                                          Actually the very topic that I am definitely been trying to get back to over the past year or more of time is the motion of an moving piece at plastic on top of another which known as when put into a projector is called rodescoping which is the transferred to film and called animation, then is labeled as a cartoon. I want to have a deep conversation about the very cartoons that helped me realize how much I love the medium called art.

For a year of time besides getting around to reading another book related to XIXLLIII of it's also about comics isn't what I really have in mind just yet either. It was around this time last year that I have mentioned something about the various cartoon series that I remember watching as as kid that was meaning to get into the heart of this very entry of my idea for today...                                                                                                                                         I happen to have a couple of questions because they will get even more out of the topic of a whole.... here they are:                                                                                                                 Question one, Sure cartoons are made for kids to get their attention to liking a certain unknowable for their independence minds about a particular product rather if it is for food, cereal commercials, come to my mind in that way of a answer or the said advertisement could be for personal use stuff like toothpaste or shampoo. Yet where most and why a cartoon series is being made is to provide an introduction to a certain set of toys right?                                                                                                                                                        Question two, Are there some cartoons out there no matter what the given genre they      are, do they have to much violence in them for a young developing mind can't understand the difference between make believe and or serious matters of the hearts,  because of recent years and because of the rules being more lacking of late in making a animated feature rather it is a interesting thing to ponder if the viewer is wanting to have an understanding of storyboarding? Or possible storytelling in animation forum.                              So maybe in my way of discussing about animation right now I have gotten off track of wanting to getting to sharing my cartoons like I said above of my favorites from my time as a child....                                                                                                                                      Originally when I was going really get into the first ones of cartoons series that I remember watching as a youngster I was going go with stuff like Bugs Bunny from Looney Toons or anything from the Looney Toons library of cartoons, Scooby-Doo toons, or other Hannah Barbara library as well. Yet I don't have access to viewing those right now,  yet I do have access to all them on Roku if I wanted to do it all in chronological order as I saw them...                                                                                                                                    Right now with all the hype of the Masters of the Universe second live action film coming out in the start of next month on June fifth, which I will have a review of  here shortly after it opens or as close to it that I can. I will admit that I my have been a little bit older than I should have been for enjoying this very cartoon series, yet at the same time I was able to absorb the love of animation even more than most children and even though the stories were a certain way of happening it filled my love of commercial art in my soul as did as I said earlier for wanting myself to be a creative artist in someway or other. I will also say that I had nearly every toy figure from the entire line with very few exceptions..... I even had the last play set in late nineteen eighty seven known as Eterina that was composed of three big towers that I had gotten at Toys R Us in Maryland.                    I will do my review of the series chronologically with one exception because, I feel that even though some of them were started for reasons of introducing the whole story and toyline with all the main characters in one episode and you all know the one I am talking about if you're a true Masters of the universe fan that one will come when it comes. Now is there anything else I yours truly is forgetting....                                                                                    With it being of course the start of the month you know that I have a few things that I end each month with and even though I have one other added thing of adding a way you can stay in touch with me outside of this blog, which I will actually add here in a minute, I have to remember absolutely  that each month I will share with you all my main images from my phone and this here tablet I am writing on. An even though it's been at least a year of living everyday life it is understandable that even I can get to being forgetful at times... so here's what I almost forgot in ending this entry property. Here's what I've been having on my phone lock screen form is the Yamato using all of their remaining power to 

 take out their oncoming threat of the comet empire by blasting it city top.... and that has been sine last December. Then when I have been opening my phone to my main screen happen to have this

                    

 , since December of last year it's where Derek Wildstar and Nova look outward towards their hopeful destruction of the comet empire that has been approaching earth to destroy it... and what they see scares them worse than they can ever know!
     Then on my Tablet that I write these blogs on has a cool lockscreen of a Norman Rockwell like image in a comic way... And here's what I mean by that 
     

Batman's greatest foe that of the Joker in the form of the Batman television series from nineteen sixty six portrayed by Ceasar Romero is trying to paint or draft the Dark knight version of Heath Legder while looking at his future self from Tim Burton's Batman film from nineteen eighty nine.  An here's what I have as my main screen related to this whole topics of cartoon series 

 that I am definitely interested reviewing at some point overall and with very few exceptions I can honestly name the majority of all of the eighty cartoon characters seen here. Now you're all wondering did I happen to forget about the site's background plate? The answer is no I didn't I was taking time in between writing these to decide what the newest plate is going to be! Yet here is the one.                         

                               

  that has been here for a year at least! Oh and yes I am still working out my many ideas of talking about why the earth is so very important to all of us as the species we are too. And finally here's how you can get in touch with me outside of leaving me a comment to be published here at the site. My address is Matt Byrd 204705 E Schuster road, Kennewick,  Washington 99337-6639. I would love to hear from all of my many readers even if it's absolutely about my given grammar mistakes as well.             

                       Love you all Matt Byrd 

For a long while now I have been thinking about him

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                         During this past week I have been very fortunate to have gotten to get a whole other year of age older, and from the previous week of from Staint Patrick's day I was trying to share a lot of my own memories from certain years while growing up and just today something really interesting and inspiring popped into my head. I had thought about my current Facebook profile picture and was thinking and wondering if I should talk of the man in it that is beside me.... he was my granddaddy from on my mother's side of the family and yes in a way I have talked about him here before. But it's also been a very long amount of time since it's needed to add more love about him. I know that most times of when you are here I am one way or another talking about stuff that I like to chat about of say cartoons or my many other type of entertainment and yes even about Spider-Man and the medium he comes from comics quite a lot....                                                                           For a while now on my Facebook page I have had the profile picture of myself and Ben Powers just after my graduation from my high school of Hanford High school seen here.        

                                                                               That was way back in June on the first Friday, which was the seventh of nineteen ninety one.                                                                                                                                                     From as far back as I can remember Ben was a man of inspiration to all of his grandchildren and when I tell you he respected you at least more than once his ten including Lyle and Merri Watson knew that he gave you that opportunity more than once. More than anything Granddaddy really loved his work at the metal shop he worked for a company known as Lummer metals in Columbus, Georgia where he mainly grew up. He loved his chance to spend time with God when he faced a human challenge he couldn't understand... in fact I remember that when I was visiting him and my grandma his wife Evelyn "Ebby" Day Powers over the summers as a child he took me to church with him on Sunday mornings and Wednesday's evenings for men Bible studies and dinners. He had two sisters one who took care their mother who was known as Big Mama to everyone,  who knew her no matter who knew her. Ben and Evelyn lived on 21st street at 1311 till he passed away in April of 2004.                                                                                      The one thing that I know that I truly got from Ben Powers was something very rare indeed besides his caring love and respect,  or at least I want to believe it came from knowing him, that is that I have great patience of dealing with a lot of stuff in the area of wherever I am. Another thing that Granddaddy loved to do was tell stories and jokes that truly made anyone who was listening think about it for a long while, one story that he made up was called "Raw Head and Bloody Bones" but at the same time one of his greatest jokes was with me anyway "Oh Go Ahead.." that would be me and his response was "Hey did you just call me a goat head..." 

    Another thing that I remember about my granddaddy was he was a collector of match books he had at least in nineteen eighty six four big plastic tubs from Rubbermaid full to top of each one. He just picked them up from every restaurant, every hotel, and fuel center ( a gas station), and of course grocery stores too. I think that he even had a few interesting international match books in his overall collection, the reason as to why he had them I remember asking him once and he said "I  have collected them so I can remember my travels from place to place of where I have been." Funny thing was he never smoked a pipe or a cigar, or even a cigarette that I can ever recall. He also loved to help me on putting puzzles together, we put super heroes ones together to ones of Star Trek puzzles and even one of the grand canyon at Christmas time in nineteen ninety four. I remember as well thar he had a scar on his right palm of his hand forever from when he was a child. He told me the story of how he got that scar and it's very interesting indeed. When he and his brothers were on a picnic with their family they were playing with a set of sardeen containers and their pop guns.... or maybe back then it was a kid and his sling shot, Ben and his brothers were slinging pebbles at their sardeen containers and his went an fell into the stream and he went to go pick it up from the water and the palm of right hand tore along tendon and outward from his thumb and His Mama wasn't a happy woman that given weekend at all... he got his hand to heal but he has a forever mark as a reminder to never play with sardeen containers again!                                                    Then when was twelve he showed me how to use wood craving tools and help me make a cage for Battle Cat from He‐ Man and the Masters of the universe toyline.  He enjoyed taking me his grandson out to a restaurant known as Captain D in Columbus,  Georgia where we would enjoy hush puppies and cod fish with a glass of sweet tea. One of the many things that I will always remember about my granddaddy was that when we flew from Pasco to Seattle to Atlanta and before heading to their home in Columbus we would go and spend about two hours at Six Flags theme park on our first day                                                                                       

                                        of our two weeks of visiting them in those summers of the past! In that picture right there was one of our last trips to Six Flags over Georgia in nineteen eighty three with my sister Kylie and like each other time that was a blast to for us and our cousins Dan and James Simmons. Oh and just in case you're wondering that loin was named Leo a common name for a loin stuffed or not....                                                                         More memories of Granddaddy Ben Powers coming soon....

More about my own knowledge of Batman's comic history

Hello All comic book fans and non comic fans as well....                                                                     I know that I can't say it enough times but I really enjoy reading comics,  and more than anything Marvel over their competition of Decetevice Comics yet over the past couple of years I had definitely given myself the opportunity to grow more than just into my main man of Peter Parker also known as Spider-Man. Lately besides knowing of Batman from what I have heard from other comic fans and the other forms of media the old Adam West television series mostly come to mind besides the many animated cartoons the character is in, I don't know much about Batman's comic lore in greater details other than some big well known story  lines! What I really know about Batman stories besides his greatest foe being a fellow that calls himself the Joker... is that he also has a few other key nemesis such as the Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler, to name a few of the classical rouges that I and most of you all know about.                                                            Batman was originally started way back in the late spring and early summer of nineteen thirty nine a whole year after two young men named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster had created a character known as Superman to a publisher named National Comics. One particular title that National Comics had ongoing was named Decetevice Comics that was started in February of nineteen thirty seven with a cover date of March by National Comics. It had ten stories in it, as to how many pages were part of each story I can honestly say that maybe not many at all if the page count was twenty two pages as is the main count of morden comic books unless it is a special anniversary issue, those go for about sixty four pages which can be a main story of the title character and then maybe three mini stories. Which cost about close to ten dollars with whatever state tax is of where the book is brought. Back then in the nineteen thirties the cost of a comic was ten cents and why readers loved them were because of three things: number three people who read comics were meant to be for children,  but even way back then I am sure the readers ages did like now truly varied from teenagers to guys in the armed services. , number two now I will actually be honest this might me but I really would want to believe that children and adults who read comics love/loved the art that accompanied the words of dialogue between the said creative creations of characters rather if they are of the title character or whatever they are facing in the creative stories. , the number one reason comics of yesteryear I  know that they the comics are important to all who read them is the stories help us be inspiring to not only ourselves but to others in their everyday lives by more than anything they help people who read comics to learn to increase not only their imaginations but as well increase their overall vocabulary.                    Batman was created by two men just like Superman a whole year before.  The two men were named Bill Finger seen here from   

    a comic creator card set that came out around nineteen eighty nine that I have the whole set in my collection of comic stuff. Bill thought of Batman more as a pulp character than a comic book character. He was born February 8th, 1914- January 18th, 1974. The other  man was the illustratior of Batman and his name was Bob Kane seen here.                  

 He was born in October on the 24th,1915- November 3rd, 1998. Bob claimed that for many years that he was the sole creator of Batman, when in truth he was just a fantastic penciler of those in the Batman family of characters... He did make a cameo in the Batman movie by Tim Burton in nineteen eighty nine. When Bob took on that claim the only thing Bill Finger did to keeping a connection to Batman is he wrote a couple of episodes of the Batman television series that starred Adam West and Burt Ward who portrayed the main leads... of Batman and Robin in the mid nineteen sixties! 

                        Now that you are caught up on my main historical information of Batman as a comic character.  As to where my main focus will be on this entry is on the Batman stories seen in this trade and the start of something new novel wise seen here.                               

I had got the Batman trade along with the year that followed which was 1987-1988 which was titled "Killing Joke and other stories", this one is Batman year one and year two that covers stories that include the most interesting take in Bruce Wayne's life known as the new Robin Jason Todd.  I know that you as a regular reader of a comic of any kind are saying wait there's more Than just Dick Grayson who has been the original Robin sidekick to Bruce Wayne's Batman. How it all happened of there being new Robin for Bruce was a complete company Event.... 
            Before I get into what the name of the company Event was at the same time over at Marvel comics they too had just started a new Event at their company that had all of their major comic characters in a ongoing reset of sorts at the same time theirs was to for the first time in a long amount of time have toys of their characters in toy stores worldwide  the toyline was also named as the comic storyline, which was known as Serect Wars. And I have a couple of copies of that too. Decetevice Comics as a company decided to reset or clarify all of their main characters that was designed differently from Marvel's way of doing so, they had wanted to modify each heroes history since by this time in Decetevice Comics history ALL of their heroes had been around as far back before World War II even had begun...                                                                                                                                                While Sercet Wars was happening at Marvel in the mid nineteen eighties, over at Decetevice Comics at the same time their story line was known as Crisis on Infinite Earths and like Sercet Wars their story went and dusted off years of back histories and upon its ending even though I haven't read it yet... I know it made all of their heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and so many others including Batman a stronger character and those he knows likes Jim Gordon have a more interesting set of new stories too. What Decetevice Comics decided as well as new stories for readers they wanted to change things up for Dick Grayson who was the original Robin by letting him become after all of his time with Bruce's approval into a new hero besides that of being Robin he had became Night Wing and lead the teenager group of heroes calling themselves the Teen Titans. It was during this very time that Batman himself decided he would be better off without a Robin...                                                                                                                                                   Yet before the event known in 1985 as "Crisis on Infinite Earths"  Jason Todd was introduced two years before in Batman 357, dated March nineteen eighty three seen here, 

 

with an actual release date of November nineteen eighty two. At that time I was ten years old and knew of Batman and other Decetevice Comics heroes as I said earlier from the superfriends various cartoon series... This new character that was introduced as a possible Interesting Robin had the background that was similar to Dick Grayson the original Robin with Jason Todd's family were acrobatics in a circus. A few issues later Bruce Wayne became Jason's guardian in Batman 360.

                                                                                                           And still the per "Crisis on Infinite Earths" version of Jason Todd was trying to figure out if fans were actually accepting of him as a adopted placement for Dick Grayson who was trying to figure OUT where he belongs during this given time.  During this very time it turns out that Gerry Conway who a whole decade before was at Marvel and wrote Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy out of existence in Amazing Spider-Man issue 121 dated July of 1973. Yet a whole decade later he scripted the actual introduction of the worst sidekick to Bruce Wayne before the company's resetting their comic universe. Still here is Jason's first appearance cover wise in nineteen eighty four, is issue 

 Batman 368 which was released in  February on the cover even though it was released in January as Robin and it seems as Bruce just acts like his relationship with Dick Grayson is at a certain unknowable for the foreseeable on the upcoming future. Now before getting to ahead of myself I must admit I don't know exactly what month in nineteen eighty four was the official end date of the fifty years of time that Decetevice Comics the company decided to start the official planning  process for their upcoming new destinations directly. I just remember seeing the cover of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" issue 7 at Payless when I was picking up in their music department the audio cassette of the Masters of the universe new movie called the secret of the sword,  which features the branching out of the HE-MAN toy franchise with his sister She-Ra added to it. Here's what that issue number seven cover looks like 

 the one in the upper left hand upper corner is the one I am talking about here, where Superman is holding his cousin Supergirl. Three years earlier at Marvel during a storyline called "The Dark Phoenix Saga they had Scott Summers known as Cyclops holding Jean Grey in issue one hundred and thirty four of The Uncanny X-MEN in nineteen eighty three

 which was part eigth of  The Dark Phoenix Saga out of ten issues for a story that was originally split in two arcs storywise.  I have found out about something known as Homage  covers from one site that I have followed for years that I will write about soon! Actually now back to the main topic at hand of the Batman year one and year two trade in D.C.FINEST and the reintroduction of Jason Todd as Robin after the event known as "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Batman was now able to finally be his darker version of himself while the newer version of Robin was able to be edger as well,  in a way that had comic readers unclear and possibly undecided as to if they would love him at all.  

Along with the two four parts of year one and year two D.C. FINEST contains the whole years from nineteen eighty five/six to nineteen eighty six/seven, the comic titles are Batman #401-412, Batman annual #11, and Decetevice Comics #568-579 also a series known as Batman the New Adventures # 408 to # 412, and then Year Two... earlier in this very entry I was going tell us all how Batman met his new Robin.  The cover seen here of                                             

                                                                                                             Batman the New Adventures number four hundred and eight says it all Jason is stripping the Batmobile of it's tires. The main plot of this story is about the couple of days before Batman witnessed the death of his parents in Crime Alley. After he and Dick Grayson stop the Joker from stealing the smile of death which are known as Hopeless Diamonds. And when Robin nearly falls to his death Batman has some heavy thinking to do... and decided that he needed to work alone from now on and not put any teenagers in trouble by them being Robin. Then on the night of his parents murder he finds no criminal activity going on till he returns to the Batmobile 

, and finds a young youth stripping off his tires on the vehicle. The youth agrees to attending a school so that he will stay out of trouble and Batman takes him to a local reform school for boys named MA GUNN'S SCHOOL FOR BOYS, 

and I won't tell you how it ends other than is it possible that even a hero can make a big mistake? This introduction of the second Robin is written by Max Allen Collins and illustrated by Chris Warner. Yet there were many comic writers like new Batman comic readers who didn't really know if they loved this new Jason Todd as Robin and before he was even fully introduced in this issue he was killed by Batman foes the Scarecrow and even the Mad Hatter in Decetevice Comics #571 and #573 and #574 with that comic writer being Mike W. Barr who after that Batman year two.                                                                      In another blog entry that I wrote in 2022 about the Joker film coming out I had reviewed a comic trade known as Batman vs Joker which had a bunch cool stories in it from as far back as early 1970's. And at that same time  I reviewed Batman year One in that same entry and since it is in this trade of Batman year one and year two I will give a bit different take on this version of year one in this DC FINEST of Batman 1986-1987 one. Year One was written by comic legendary creator Frank Miller and drawn by David MazzuchellI, It was in the Batman title starting with issue four hundred and four through four hundred and seven in it's beginning of it we the readers learn of what Bruce Wayne has been doing before he took on the identity of fear for the criminals he faces in his future,  we also see in year one the growth of Jim Gordon the police commissioner from when he first came to Gotham and was a lieutenant in the police force before becoming the police commissioner he is known as! In Year one in the first issue we see how Bruce Wayne uses his heart and mind to build his body to be stronger and use his mind to learn to be a detective in the worst parts of downtown Gotham! Whilst leteutenant Gordon meets with Gotham police chief commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and chief Flass. Gordon sees while on protol with Flass a bit of brutality that gives him more to find out about the very police force he works for! One thing that I almost forgot to mention is that in this four issue stories is Catwoman who in this is kinda a guardian of a young street kid known as Holly who she protects from the evils of the world. By the end of Year One there is a reassuring bit of respect between Jim Gordon and Batman and you know that a certain clown prince of crime is out there making it known he is out there waiting.....                     What I find really interesting about Year One besides the story itself is what is hiding in MazzuchellI's panels in some parts of it, like here

when Gordon meets his new boss Gillian B. Loeb in his office. If you look closely at where they are talking you notice something very familiar on the lamp shade. Here is the panel up closer for 

         a better look. Maybe before the editing of this scene Decetevice Comics editors let MazzuchellI art speaks volumes he added his favorite newspaper comic strip in the story but it really wasn't just "peanuts" that got snuck in a Batman tale. Yet Charlie Brown wasn't going to be the thing MazzuchellI snuck into the Year One story for in issue two of the series he put a certain famous mouse of who owns Decetevice Comics competition Marvel on Gillian B. Loeb jacket's seen here                                                                                   

 as he is talking to Gordon about where Batman possibly is? Unbeknownst that Batman is just outside his property taking out the commissioner's personal protective guards on the night of May nineteenth! Then in the fourth issue we see yet maybe more Disney possible interesting show of Decetevice Comics ownership when we see that MazzuchellI places a Micky Mouse phone in Gillian B. Loeb's hand when he orders that Gordon's wife be held hostage till Batman is dead. One other thing that is priticular  indeed important is that writer Frank Miller gave a part of a future Batman writer Jeph Loeb an acknowledgement he will ģet to be crafting words of Batman in the far far future by naming Jim Gordon's boss in part with the last name of Loeb.

In late nineteen eighty six in the month of May, but dated on the cover of Decetevice Comics issue #575 June the writer of the title Michael Barr starts another year of Batman in this Bruce Wayne is thinking about retirement after years of stopping street criminals and super villains seems far from his thoughts till a mysterious guy starts showing up all over Gotham and has a big white skull to hide his identity.  Bruce happens to have real reason for his wanting to give up his cowl and cape, for a woman, her name is Rachel Caspian. The art of issue five hundred and seventy five is provided by Alan Davis.  
The next three issues are still written by Mike W Barr, but penciler Alan Davis must of had another comic title he was assigned to because after his few issues of the the title "INFINITY INC" the one of seven who walked away from both Marvel and Decetevice Comics in nineteen ninety two was the illustratior of Batman year two in nineteen eighty six... His name is Todd McFarlane and he did at least one Batman cover 

       seen here. In this story which was released in September of 1988 Batman was trying to save two teenagers from their addiction to drugs. The main story is written by Marvel writer of the original Infinity Gauntlet and creator of mad titan known as Thanos, Jim Stariln. Back to Batman year two where Todd had taken on being a bit gritter than ever before with the greatest Decetevice Comics character of comics! Now there is one more pair stories in Batman annual # 11 with Batman creator Alan Moore who writes in nineteen eighty seven with the famous arc called "The Killing Joke"... which is another DC FINEST which I have as well!
Now you're probably wondering what novel yours truly is wanting to throw at myself for the foreseeable future,  I had found earlier in early this month at Barnes and Nobles... It is called Revelation Space and it's for sure going to be a very interesting read since it is the first part of a trilogy,  that is written by Alistair Reynolds... 

A TRUE LOOK AT (ANOTHER LOOK OF THE 80's) other than....

 Hey All,                                                                                                                                                           You know sometime you at times come up with an idea of what you may want to write when your are a creative person and right now I have a for the first time in long time I am finding it hard to come up with the words for this very comic review, not because it isn't because of trying to find my way to talk about a non superhero/science fiction/horror themed background of this one at all, but because this one sorta hits home with one priticular panel that I will be sharing.  I will and you will know it trust me! Okay with my little percusor out the way I feel safe with starting my overall review of "Grommets" that is published by Image comics and is written by comic creator Rick Remender and Brian Posehn and is illustrated by Brett Parson.                                                                                                    "Grommets" is a story that was seven issues of growing up in the nineteen eighties and trying to figure out these two characters named after the writers and their experiences or what they wanted to have their lives be like? It's about trying to find a way to bound with a given in crowd. There are a lot of nineteen eighties references between Rick and his father as seen here

in the opening page of the first issue! Now before going any further for a moment in the bottom panel the father mentions as they are rushing from the little coffeehouse or very small local mini mart which is more likely for in the eighties.... "First on the list, a three-way with Loni Anderson and Sally Field Ha!" places this around the end of W.K.R.P. in Cincinnati which ended in 1982 and around the same time when Sally's new film "Smoky and the Bandit" was in theaters about 1983. Yet how the whole part about seeing Anderson name in a certain time frame right now brings a tear to the eye if you haven't heard that just last week she passed away. We learn that it seems hard for Rick to as I said before to find new friends except for his long haired buddy Brian. Then the two are with Brian's granddaddy in his vehicle heading out to 

 a certain California stake park.                              We find out that Rick is a true nerd in his own way besides liking to be cool with Brian at loving to flipping boards he also loves as seen here when he is waking up in his own bedroom that he has a thing about comics  

 by that incredible hulk poster on his wall behind him.  Throughout the rest of second issue we see the beginning of tensions between Brian and his mother besides his fun times with his grandfather from the first issue. An we see that both Rick and Brian find some gals that love to tear it up with broads then after having grub at a certain taco joint they go to a car garage to have a fantastic dare among their age group.  

The true depth of this series besides two friends getting to know each other over what they love in the way of stake boarding they like all teenagers of any generation are trying to figure out relationships with the girls that know... like Rick's girlfriend seen here              

 and her name happens to be Samra, an her characterization is that of a young teenage gal of that given decade. She even asks Rick if he is a wild boy while they both seem to be watching a Duran Duran video on of course MTV. Rick then learns from his father that the family will be moving to another state just as he realizes he has it going good with his set of friends and now that happens...
Meanwhile...  Brian has been at his grandfather's place getting a party together that he's been so eager to have to show his friends just how cool he really is! Rick happens to come over before the beginning of this party to talk to Brian about his ordeal to find that another big personal thing is going on     

                         

with Brian.       
        The party is suppose to be the stake geeks which happens to include Samra as well as the two Jennifer's in the story too. After having some unintended guests at the party things go from bad to worst. By the series end both Rick and Brian find even greater value and challenges but not in California but rather in Arizona! For a non superhero type of comic tale this story is full of great nods of the nineteen eighties even if I didn't get to be so darling in my own way of growing up in the eighties.... I still enjoyed my way of being able to be kind to everyone I knew from back in that time of growing up! If you are wanting to look for Grommets for yourself here is what the cover 

                                    looks like.  

I just saw SUPERMAN

Hey All,                                                                                                                        I wanted to let you all know that beforehand of posting my review of the new SUPERMAN film which I am currently doing right now, will be followed up by some Superman comics being covered here by myself.  Yesterday while I was heading to uptown Richland towards Adventures Underground on the bus ride there my sister in-law texted me to see what I was up to and she asked if I wanted to see the new SUPERMAN movie so instead of just texting her back I called her and in our conversation she told me if I was free could we see that new SUPERMAN film and I said I am okay with that because I haven't seen it yet. While out at uptown area I went to an antique that I know of, and went in there with the intention of finding a Ray Bradbury book to add to my small collection already... which I had picked up a copy of the Martian chronicles at Adventures 

 , yet I had found this cool SUPERMAN coffee mug there.                                  So after going to church with Kathie this morning we then headed over to the Queengate movie theater. We got our tickets and went an got there while the screening was still showing trailers.  We had seats row G 9 and 10 and weren't to high of seeing the full size of the screen. The one thing that I will say for certain is that no matter what don't  make your decision on whether to see this new take on the boyscout of all superheroes just because of the negative reviews you have heard over the internet! Now I am not promising to be able to provide you with the best review of this movie, just the most meaningful one from a real humbling comic lover.                                                                                          This version of Superman isn't exactly Christopher Reeve perfect but there happens to be a cameo that's able to be missed by one of his son's is on a video transmission as a news reporter in a fight scene with a little monster nearly rampages through out Metropolis, D.C. universe... New York for the character. Besides the film being about first comicbook superhero created by two immigrants named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who sold their property of their creation of Superman for only one hundred and thirty eight dollars to back in the nineteen thirties to National Comics who was the name of Decetevice Comics back then in April of nineteen thirty eight. The Lex Luthor in this is not a Gene Hackman version who is after land in the Reeve's films. In this Lex is very determined to kill the alien of Krypton the film also may have a greater impact villain wise that has been hinting at since forty two years ago in nineteen eighty three's Superman III when they were wanting to use the Superman foe known as Brainaic.                       Another reason why you may like this version of Superman is because of Krypto who is the most misbehaving dog.... My overall grade for this Superman movie is a B minus!                                                                         

Hello All,                                                                                                                      Ever since I have come back from visiting my folks from in Cuenca, Ecuador back around the end of this past May,  I started back on nineteenth, and while trying to have as much fun with them and my new friend Ian that I met while visiting them I was definitely trying to getting around to reading   

                                        these books seen here. Since that time I have only read the Batman Hush trade yet at the same time while down there I kept trying to get in to reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and even though it took me close to a whole month later in June for me to devouring this fictional tale of what could happen to humanity if we can have everything we want or need with the exception of one very important thing.  This review of Fahrenheit 451 has a great many things within it's very pages that are very relevant to today on the fourth of July evening. It also has a lot of meaning about each of us as humans treating each person as much as a needed relationship and understanding the importance of needing to remember we all are in need of self respect when the world is at time against us. Let's get into why this story is very important to all of humanity!                                                  From the first page of Fahrenheit you or we as readers find out that in this world's fire fighters aren't perventors of destruction they are the cause of them, as the central hero of this story known as Guy Montag is described with having possibly pain over watching the results of his work of setting a place up in being burnt down with his hose that is connected to a canstor of Kerosene on his back. We can tell by the words which Bradbury uses that he seems rather in doubt of his own thoughts. He as he walking home meets a young teenager who with her own type of conversation brings up something for Guy to ponder even more over which is "are you happy?"                                                We find out that Guy himself while dealing with his wife at home seems to might have his own personal secret of something that he is hiding stuff in a ceiling ventilator in his room but at this point, he is the only one who knows what it might be? He went and sometime years ago had built an entertainment palor for his wife, and she wants him to finish it. The entertainment palor has currently three wall size television screens in it, while he is still paying off the third television with his salary from being a fireman. The next night when he attends work at the fire station Montag see that the station now has a entirely new pet while he is playing cards with the guys his boss tells him of why they have this mechanical hound. Then the alarm sounded....                  What is the meaning of an alarm in this powerful story? It is known that if anyone has any type of glued pages with words with either a paper backing or a cardboard cover binding better known as a book your punishment is your life is definitely ended! The firemen headed to a elderly woman's home and  she's defensive in protecting her ideal of why words are very relevant to her. Montag's boss Beatty then sets the woman and her home up in flames!                                                   From here on out I won't spoil what comes next for the characters of Fahrenheit 451... Except this Every single character is forever changed! The main thing that I want to do now is talk about what the story itself brings out in the way of controversies and or criticisms how  much if at all do Ray's actual substance still affect us as humans today.                                                                                                                             One if not the main things that I did notice as I read this novel is the understanding that in one way or another as I just said there is complete elevolution of not only characters choosing to change or not able to change is shown with grit and also grief as there is mentioned the war of the past through Guy's remembrance to his own childhood when he is talking to the teenager girl at the beginning. Which is of course known to one generation as either "The Big One" and then there is this one "The Greatest Generation's War" were two ways of defining name wise of World War II as far as I Matt remember before the internet was introduced to the whole world in nineteen ninety four.         Anyway as Guy is talking to Clariesse McClellan on their walk to their homes he remembers a time, when he was a boy and his mother lit a candle to give them light when the power was out everywhere. There is certainly no doubt that this was a memory that Ray Bradbury felt needed to be shared in this very nightmarish story of literature being destroyed! He also made it another point to speak of people anywhere and everywhere being burned and not just like in the concentration camps over in places like Nazi Germany, while under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, who was responsible for murdering close to six million Jewish people in what is known as the Holocaust. Hitler also murdered an additional four million other people who were deemed "unworthy of life."                                                                                                                             So there is a lot more to the meaning about people being burnt in real life besides the likes of combustion of oxygen and heat. Fahrenheit 451 shows us that even in the greatest of unknowable ways people everywhere can hurt themselves even with the consequences of cutting technologies if we are not careful enough! The most important and meaningful experience from the words of this very fictional yarn that I have gained is we as humans are more worthy to judge those closest to us rather if we know them as our own families and friends because we decide to go with our feelings rather than our known knowledge when we have everyday contact with each other... but at the same time if the whole world is against you remember that no one has to endure the worst of all options do not just disappear into a crowd of nothingness!           Remember that there is something absolutely special about us and books, we need them to understanding not only a good or a fantastic source of knowledge... we need stories to learn about both the understanding of being rich with both love and responsibly even if the topic in the way of the book's subject is completely something else entirely. Now with today being the fourth of July remember to use proper judgment when lighting up those fireworks and enjoy your time with your family and friends...
