I remember being in 7th grade when Spawn 1st came out. I loved the dynamic style and the gritty story. Couple of years later, Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane, came out with his own set of action figures. I collected those and it started my toy collection. Growing up and even to this day, I’ve always looked up to Todd. He revolutionized the comic and toy industry with his attention to detail. I was fortunate enough to interview Todd McFarlane as he visits Toys R Us Times Square this Saturday, February 1st for the Superbowl festivity.

Attention Batman fans!
If you’re lucky enough to be in So Cal, Warner Brothers Studio is offering an exclusive Batman exhibit tour. The 2 hour and 15 minute tour will showcase props, costumes and even vehicles from the Batman movies. The tour is limited but WB never said when it would end. The admission is pricey at $54 a pop. It’s worth going if you’ve never been on a studio tour before but for me, I can skip it.
More info can be found on their site .…
Let’s face it, aging can be frightening, however it creeps into our lives so gradually, we hardly recognize it. Until that awakening moment we meet each other in the mirror that once reflected that insatiable beauty of our youth. During our youth, we may be unable to detect the envy of those older than us, of our fearless outtake on life. In this short film, Vienna Waits For You, directed by Dominik Hartl, may bring to life that what we may perceive, as things that possess our future. Those possessions that reoccur in our lives, in which others may …
The year was 1985 and cartoons had never been better. An entire lineup of animated awesomeness was available for young boys and girls to enjoy. There was a little something for everyone. All kinds of stories could be told on Saturday morning and eventually in weekday syndication. There was one show though that came along with all the glamour and glitter, fashion and fame that kids weren’t even aware they needed in their life.
Jem and the Holograms came out at a time when music videos and high fashion were being given a lot of exposure. Hasbro, Marvel Productions, and Sunbow …
Catastrophe, it is in the eye of the beholder. Prevention is the key, I use the term prevention, loosely. The key that may lock our doorway to any outside world other than our own. This door can lead to much misconception. Which inevitably, brings one to the endless circle of things I have previously discussed and brought to point in my last few reviews. However we see ourselves, living these messy, complicated and obsessed lives, our frail attempts at controlling them. We figure out that our safety and securities are often displayed thru a fish bowl for the world to see. …

Magic. Many believe in it. Many wonder and secretly snicker at the mere chance of capturing the one moment that creates it. Magic is a true wonderment, one that cannot be transposed. It simply creates in itself a majestic beauty. A sand filled wave in the ocean, a frosted cloud in the sky or an eternal love. All of these, at times seem so unattainable, so we dive ourselves into the tangible, logical matters that provide temporary value and meaning to our empty lives. But where is the true joy? We are too afraid to express our vulnerability to let the …
Even when you allow those shadows to follow you, they have the ability to haunt you. The choices you make, mold you into something you cannot see, and the mirror tells another lie. You chase those beings that have already gathered and clutched their mits tightly around you. All in all, not realizing they have become you. Or have you become them? Hard to tell, who is real, with all these shadows floating in and out of bodies these days. Is anyone committed anymore? Maybe what we need is just a bit of loyalty, to the vices that sink their fangs …
