2017: Kong: Skull Island (spoilers)
2017: Kong: Skull Island (spoilers)
I thought I was done with this blog. I haven’t posted in 9 months, and I’ve lost focus of the original goal. But every so often something comes out that I HAVE to write about. Last time it was DC: Rebirth. This time, I’m surprised to say, it is Kong: Skull Island.
Yet, here I am. I loved this movie. I thought that it was a fresh enough take on the character to revitalize the franchise, while…

(2016)DC: Rebirth
It’s been a while since I posted here and what better time than with the rebirth of the DC universe. (Spoilers ahead)
I want to start by making it clear that I am pretty much out of current comic reading. The only book I am collecting monthly is Dark Knight III, and I am only somewhat following Justice League and Batman. But I will not blame that on the quality of the New 52 or the state of…

1958: The Fly
This a movie I have always known about, but never had the desire to watch. That is until I discovered that it wasn’t just an 80’s horror flick (which I understand is a classic itself) but also a series of B movies from the 50’s and 60’s. In an episode of the X-Files, Mulder is sleeping with the original playing in the background. I am always up for classic 50’s cinema, and it must have some…

Schrödinger’s Batman v. Superman
I know I’m guilty of doing this in the past with other movies, but we’ve got calm down with the judgement of a movie that hasn’t come out yet. Like the titular characters of the film, fans (and haters) have taken up arms on whether or not Batman v. Superman will please moviegoers and whether or not it will be able to support an ongoing franchise. In fact people are saying some outrageously…

1955-58: X Minus One
Countdown for blastoff… X minus five, four, three, two, X minus one… Fire! From the far horizons of the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space. These are stories of the future; adventures in which you’ll live in a million could-be years on a thousand may-be worlds. The National Broadcasting Company, in cooperation with Street & Smith, publishers of Astounding Science…

1993: The X-Files Season One
According to the Internet, 93% of the world’s population is currently watching the nee X-Files miniseries. Approximately. The other 7%… nobody cares about. I can’t be part of that 7%, so for the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing what I can to jump ship. Something I never thought possible. Getting into The X-Files. It’s not that I thought it would be bad. Quite the opposite actually. I knew…

1939: I, Robot and Other Amazing Stories
I, Robot is a name that many people are familiar with. But this I, Robot is not what you think it is. It is not the Will Smith blockbuster film. Nor is it any of the short stories from the collection of the same name by famous robot fiction author Isaac Asimov, who’s work inspired that film. It’s not even the novelized script from the unproduced film written by Asimov and another famous sci-fi…

2015 in Review
It’s been one year. And I didn’t do it. My goal with this blog was to spend each week looking at a piece of fiction from a different year. 1964-2015. 52 years, 52 weeks, 52 pieces of fiction. Seemed easy when I began, but I only made it to 1982.
Did I reach my goal? No.
Am I happy with what I was able to accomplish? Yes.
52 weeks spread throughout books, movies, TV and comics meant about 13…

The Art of Chris Fischer
The Art of Chris Fischer
Chris Fischer is another local artist and friend who I got to do a piece for the blog. And it’s beautiful.
I’m ashamed to say that this was done for my examination of 1987, which should have been done over 6 months ago. I have been sitting on this piece for so long, wanting to post it, but being so delayed and slow that I haven’t found the right time to do it.
One of the reasons I have respect…

2015: Star Wars – My Interest Awakens
Less than 24 hours to go until Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I couldn’t be more excited. I have my ticket for the 7:00 showing, the earliest I could get, and I am counting down the hours, minutes, and parsecs to go. That makes sense, right?
To prep, I gave the Machette Order a try. For those not in the know, it goes episodes 4-5 establishing Luke, Leia, and Han, 2-3 establishing Vader,…

New blog
Since October, I’ve been pretty absent at this site. It’s because instead of taking in material I’ve been working on putting out. I have 2 longer stories I’m working on, and have also been working on short stories. You chan check out the shorts as I post them here, at Graeme Writes. I do plan on writing more here, when I have a little more time. As it is, I am usually just writing during my work…

1920/2000: The Dooms that Came to Sarnath and Gotham
I finally did it! I found Batman: The Doom that came to Gotham!
This is a series of 3 prestige format books written by Mike Mignola and Richard Pace with art by Troy Nixey and Dennis Yanke that draws from the works of H. P. Lovecraft.
This is not an impossible book to find, but it is rare. The cheapest I could find it on EBay was just shy of $100. The last time I was in my comic shop they had a…

An Original Western/Horror Short Story (2015)
The following is an original story I wrote over the course of a day. It was just for kicks to play around with a couple themes and and get an idea of how a comic would be written. Let me know what you think. Be warned, this is the first piece of fiction I have created since high school, ten years ago, with the exception of my tax forms. A Deadly Chill

Halloween part 2: The Long Halloween! – Batmonth Finale (1996-1997)
Here we go! The day I’ve been waiting for and building up to all month. The greatest book ever written. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s piece du resistance. The story of a series of murders on 12 of the major celebrations between Halloween and the following Halloween that Batman, Jim Gordon, and Harvey Dent unite to solve. I have the Absolute Edition volume of it, and it is beautiful.

Halloween Part 1: The Origin of… Two-Face
It’s Halloween. I’ve been spending the month reading comics that both take place before The Long Halloween and that introduce the key players. Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, The Scarecrow, an extensive history both of Bruce Wayne, various accounts of his early days in the costume, his relation with Superman, his Halloween adventures. I believe I have covered everything going…

It retells the first encounter that Batman has with the Red Hood, Riddler, Lucius Fox, Gordon, and shows us how he fails, learns, and struggles to get back up in his first attempt to bring justice to…
