As a child, I loved the Legion of Super-Heroes. Teenagers from all over the galaxy formed a club together and saved the universe, sometimes several times an issue. The rules for joining the Legion were a bit odd and really didn’t stand up to scrutiny. No one could have the same powers as another member,…
Last week they announced a remake of 1970s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show. Social media collectively said “Are you &)$!* kidding me?” and expressed their righteous anger to the world. I was among them, filled with fury. The biggest outcry to these remakes/reboots/retcons is that our media tends to forget the original in favor…

Guess we got lucky that Grandpa liked S. Morgenstern instead of George R.R. Martin, eh? Only a few more days left until Peter Falk wrecks Ben Savage’s childhood even more…
My favorite toy ever is Captain Action. I mean EVER. When I was around four, my mother took my sister and me to a toy store. She told us we could have any one thing we wanted. My sister made a quick decision and choose a Barbie. I spent some time trying to choose between…
There’s a tremendous bit of nostalgia wrapped up in Super 8, one of last summer’s most pleasant surprises.

Far too films hold up to the test of time, their iconic nature re-evaluated through a modern prism and found wanting. Memorable performances or screen characters suddenly look one-dimensional or wanting. Then there are those that grew in stature through the years as audiences and critics catch up to the creators’ vision. Those are the…
It’s personal history time folks. This is 100% guilty pleasure from me to you. Ultraforce was the cartoon that led me to my love of comics. You see I saw this cartoon, and days later, my best friend (Unshaven Comics’ own Matt Wright) bought me issue 1 from the back issues at our local comic…
It’s 2010 now– so it’s almost safe to indulge in 90’s nostalgia.
Transformers… more than meets the eye. This, we know. But what happens when the mighty all-spark malfunctions and sends the Michael Bay Monstrosities to wage war against the Autobots and Decepticons of our shared youth?
