Musings
This is a third attempt at a blog today. Nothing’s really got that A. Lee Martinez snap. What is that snap? Where does it come from? Do I even know what that is? Am I even being serious? (Am I ever being serious?)
Honestly, I don’t know the answer to any of those questions. Writing is weird like that. I write things. I get paid. Even if it doesn’t prove I’m good at it, proves that at least I can keep a roof over my head doing it. And I get positive feedback on this blogging stuff. Of course, that’s kind of a self-selecting audience. Very few people take the time to post a comment telling me how obnoxious I am although I’m sure those folks are out there, too.

Green Lantern: First Flight (a review)
 FIRST, THE COMIC BOOK RANT. YOU CAN SKIP TO THE REVIEW A FEW PARAGRAPHS DOWN.
I don’t know if my regular readers have noticed this or not, but I tend to spend an unusual amount of time bemoaning the quality of modern comic books. A big part of this, I’ll admit, is simply coming from a different era. Everybody tends to like things they grew up with more than is reasonable. But it’s also because comics are kind of lame now.

Revenge of the Gods of the Depths
So there’s a 10 mile long black slime monster off the coast of Alaska.
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
I’m glad you enjoyed my “fun” little stories about robot detectives and country-fried vampires. Â But did you listen? Â Did you heed the warning? Â No, you did not. Â But everyone will have probably have noticed by now that slime monsters and horrible consuming beasts are a recurring element in my stories.
The byproduct of an obsession with weird creatures and kaiju movies? Â
The prophecies of an unappreciated visionary?
Pure, dumb luck?
Even I can’t say for sure.
