It has been a good weekend here at the Deadly Troubadours home office (aka, my apartment.) Nothing overly constructive happened, but that might be why it was such an enjoyable weekend. Saturday morning I took a train two hours to play a little table-top rpg. My friend Rodney, who is the man behind Rising Phoenix … More Dice, Biscuits and an Omnibus

Which is a much longer type, but will make it easier to differentiate the comic (Alias) and the show (AKAJJ). First off, let me … More Thoughts on AKA Jessica Jones (aka Alias)
I had a bit of fun writing about the recent Fantastic Four Trailer, so I thought I would drop a few thoughts about the recently released Daredevil trailer.
