Captain America And God's Kingdom!

Captain America: The First Avenger I have long been a fan of Captain America. I admire his unselfish patriotism and his desire to always serve others. He is a perfect example of a great comic book hero. Photo by Duren Williams on Pexels.com Having said that, I have never seen the Captain America line of movies. So, I took it upon myself to watch “Captain America: The First Avenger” last…

Free Comic Book Day Haul

Comic Books: My New Passion When I was younger, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I loved watching “The Superfriends” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” I imagined myself creating stories and art like this for other people. My local area didn’t have a comic bookstore, so I couldn’t have access to the stories like I would have liked. Recently, I started back drawing. I was quickly getting deep…

Happy Anniversary, Joker!

Photo by Febin Paul on Pexels.com Every great hero needs an equally great villain. This villain should keep the hero alert, on his toes at all times. Click HERE to watch my video about why we need a great villain. It is safe to say that Batman has one of the greatest villains in all of comic books. The Joker is the greatest villain possibly in all of entertainment history. Photo by Terrance…

Can I Be Christian and A Geek?

Living Between The Lines I have shared this story previously on the blog. However, I don’t mind sharing this again. I became a Christian at a very young age. So, I spent a lot of time in church growing up. When I was not at church, I was home. Home was a place of peace for me because I was an introvert. While I enjoyed church as a youth, it was draining me. My real fortress of solitude…

Being A Christian Black Nerd!

Growing Up…As A Nerd and Christian! Safe to say, I am a weird person. When age comes, you mostly come to embrace the depths of who you really are. However, when you are young, it’s difficult to deal with. The average young person wants to be embraced by his/her peers. When I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, being a nerd meant you were outcast. You were labeled a socially awkward…

What Makes Retro Gaming Great!

Metroid and Me! The video shows my gameplay of Metroid. Metroid is a classic NES gaming title. I may be the only one that has never defeated this game…LOL.

Revisiting games from the Atari, 8-bit, 16-bit, or even 64-bit eras can be a blast. Below, I…

Is Anime Bad for Christians?

Critics Are Everywhere… Thanks to social media, critics are louder than ever. And everyone is a judge. While there is nothing wrong with social media per se, most social media users have a way of making people feel inferior. This can make it difficult for people to enjoy their fandoms in peace. That is especially true with reference to anime. As a fan of anime, I have often heard it said…

Why Read Comic Books as an Adult?

My Comic Books Hobby A few months ago, I went into a local comic bookstore. I was OVERWHELMED! When I say overwhelmed, I mean that in a good way. Spiderman, Batman, Captain American, Image Comics, Star Wars, and everything in between as far as the eyes can see. Watch the video below to see what I picked up from that trip!
