The Man Without Talent
“A human being like me is not adapted to the world we live in. If I took up reading, it was because living was difficult for me, and I wondered if there might exist a more peaceful way of life.” — Yoshiharu Tsuge

Gods, Ghosts, and the Golden Age: The Weird Mythology of DC’s Secret Origins
I recently completed DC Universe Secret Origins [1], and, let me tell you, it’s a hell of a book. Thick, hardcover, and brimming with pulp comic book Golden Age goodness. We learn the secrets behind the Superman–Batman team-up, the mythological origins of Wonder Woman (she was blessed by a multiplicity of gods, including Aphrodite, Merc, and Herc—Mercules and Hercury, har-har), and what it was like to be Superbaby, then Superboy, and finally El Supero Uno, Mucho Macho Nacho, The Man of Steel. Booya.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Every You Need to Know About the Hulu Reboot
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the legendary series that aired between 1997 and 2003, is returning via the Hulu platform. Sarah Michelle Gellar reprises her starring role in this story alongside actresses Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Chase Sui Wonders. The series will be directed by Chloé Zhao, winner of the Oscar for Best Director for the film Nomadland. Under her direction, the creative team wants to recapture the original spirit of the series while exploring new storylines and challenges for the characters. These ideas not only aim to appeal to fans of the classic version, but also to connect with a new generation through updated narratives.

The Steampunk Skirt: My Love Letter to Vintage Edge
I’ve always been fascinated by fashion that tells a story. Not just the kind you wear because it’s pretty — but the kind that makes people stop, stare, and wonder about the character you’re playing that day. For me, the steampunk skirt is exactly that. It’s not just a garment; it’s a little slice of history reimagined.

Rocket from the Tomb. Top Story - August 2025.
DC Secret Origins gives us the origin of The Spectre, a minor player in the DC Universe who demonstrates the oft-recurring trope of a hero being born—or rather reborn—from his own death. Apparently, crossing the Veil and coming back can so significantly alter an individual, particularly a common man (even though a “hardboiled private dick”), that he (alternately “she,” no chauvinists we) will don a costume and begin to fight jewel thieves and other crook-noses on behalf of Universal Consciousness.

15 Fascinating Facebook Facts You Probably Didn’t Know

Wolverine: Weapon X
Wolverine: Weapon X is a dark, disturbing entry into the X-Men saga, comprised of stories in Marvel Comics Presents #72–84 with additional material by Chris Claremont. The story arc strips Logan of all semblances of cigar-chomping humanity, leaving him to be “reborn” via baptism in a scientific laboratory tank.

When Jem Lost Her Sparkle!
When news broke in 2015 that Jem and the Holograms was getting a live-action movie, fans of the iconic ‘80s cartoon were ready to relive the glam, glitter, and truly outrageous magic. After all, the original series was a kaleidoscope of fashion, Electronic Pop music, female empowerment, wild storylines, and of course—holograms! But when the film hit theaters, it didn’t quite capture the electric charm of the original, leaving many longtime fans scratching their neon-colored heads.
