The Best and Worst of Heroes: Volume III – Villains

The Best and Worst of Heroes: Volume III – Villains

For previous installments: Heroes (Reborn): Volume VI – Awakening Volume V – Redemption Volume IV – Fugitives   Villains is a considerably clunky volume being only slightly better than Generations.

To no surprise, this is tied … Continue reading

A Special Look at: The Power of Krull

A Special Look at: The Power of Krull

Continuing from The Ribos Operation, The Pirate Planet, The Stones of Blood, and The Androids of Tara is The Power of Krull, the worst story of the entire season in my humble opinion.

On Internet Trolls… *Sigh*

I do know a thing about internet trolling, as I have my own family to give the greatest credit for this, giving me lots of experience on the psychological factors, and understanding of it’s context.
