Welcome!
I’ve been thinking about creating a blog like this for a few years and some friends have suggested it too. This is basically a place for me to display my love for various fandoms that I enjoy.
Mainly, that will consist of written reactions to movies I’ve just seen; sections talking about fandoms or aspects of them; posts of the comics and posters I get from my comicbook store every other week, and every now and then, links to my IG account (linked in my About section) focusing on comic panels that bring my joy. There also may be other posts eventually, we’ll see.
As I started this blog, I went back through movie reactions/reviews that I’d made in the past and decided to create an archive of all of them, so some of those posts will be very brief and from a few years ago. The same goes for my comic posts of issues (and posters) I’ve gotten from my local comicbook store (LCS).
I will do my best to make comic posts every two weeks (when I get new comics) and probably around the same time for updates on my IG. For movies posts, they will be whenever I see a comicbook movie or another movie that see. And sections talking about fandoms will be sporadic until I get a feel for this blog and am used to posting. Hopefully, I will eventually be a bit more consistent with those eventually.
Also, I suggest (for new readers) when in each section, scrolling to the bottom and reading posts in order, some reference future posts.
Thanks for being here and reading all this, and welcome to my blog! Hope you survive the experience! (If you get that reference, woot!)

- May 2026 Late IssuesThese are the other two variants for SWI’s final issue. The carbonite one is cool since it’s a foil cover.

- The Mandalorian and Grogu (May 21, 2026)Well, I very much enjoyed this! It was fantastic to be back in a theater to watch a Star Wars movie!
