"Has the mainstream finally "discovered" comics" This is something I've been thinking about for a long time now. When did it become cool to be into comics? When I was a kid I was the only one I knew that was into comics. Everyone else was into sports and what not. Not me I was into comics and music and movies and swords and sorcery and Dungeons and Dragons and Tron. Man I was a geek, but now it seems like all of those things that I treasured as a kid are being picked up and put on a pedestal in Hollywood.

I'm ok with that though, because I get to see some of my favorite characters come to the big screen. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not so successfully. It also means that I get to play video games with my favorite characters (I resently picked up Godzilla: Saves the Earth and Marvel Ultimate Alliance and both are so much FUN!) and I get to be a grown boy my whole life.

So while some people may feel that enough is enough, I will continue to line up up my local multiplex to watch the latest super hero/graphic novel brought to the big screen. You know why? Because for every sucky one there is one that's not so sucky and I'm an optimist. You never know when the next Spider-man or X-Men is going to show up and knock your socks off.

And the only things that I think are un-doable. Namor. He doesn't even like surface dewellers so where's the connection to the audience?
