Okay, so, I haven’t really been keeping up with Marvel comics. I’ve been busy trying to read the Civil War, while they’re already three events ahead of me: Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, and the newest one called “Siege.” From what I can gather, Dark Reign has been [...]
Perhaps out of some sense of masochism, I’ve decided to keep following this series. It wasn’t something I intended to do, not immediately. I was curious, but also rather annoyed by the series. Especially considering just how poorly thought out a lot of it was, by comparison to some of the other [...]
The Justice League of America is one of the top organizations in the DC Universe. It’s contained members such as Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern as well as minor people that you may not care about. Each incarnation of the team has always had strengths and weaknesses that tend to be exacerbated by [...]
Good afternoon, readers of 21six (all… three or four of you). I am Mr. Black, the drug-addled and possibly homicidal excuse for a music blogger and the newest member of the 21six Team (it’s like Team Rocket, only without the Meowth).

This, like one of my favorite books, Doktor Sleepless, is published through Avatar Press– known more for their particularly [...]
Whenever Jeph Loeb took the reigns from Mark Millar for the new “Ultimates” story, I was less apprehensive than a number of my peers. Jeph Loeb, to me, was still the man who wrote The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush, and Spider-Man: Blue. Great stories that I still read every chance I [...]
Whenever I last posted, we were discussing the events of Batman R.I.P. and how they were affecting mainstream Batman continuity and so forth. However, things have become a lot more interesting since I stopped posting two months ago for whatever reason, and I learned that there are a number of new books out that [...]
Subtitled: Why Grant Morrison Is A Mad Scientist Disguised As A Comic Book Writer.
I have a tendency to talk about Batman a lot. It wasn’t something I intended whenever I remade this website into what it is, but I read a lot of Batman comics, so it stands to reason that Batman would [...]
It’s not very often I go into a movie with the expectation of being let down and/or so frustrated by the horrible things done to the continuity that I consider going to just so I can feel a lot of negative emotions and pick it apart in a general way that only a fanatic nerd [...]
