"K-Pax"

WORTH CONSUMING!

   I loved the movie- what can I say, I am a Kevin Spacey fan. But, I was surprised to know that there are sequels to the book. I must get my hands on these STAT.

   Great book- great characters-great mystery. I think it’s really cool that the author is also that narrator ( or at least they have the same name).

"Star Trek #9 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

The Bounty on Kirk’s Head storyline comes to a close only to find Kirk is now being court martialed in the cliffhanger.

 And for some reason, the bounty hunter chasing Kirk really looks like Bruce Davidson. Is there a reason for this? I like it- but is this like an Easter egg or homage to Army of Darkness?

"Star Trek #8 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

So, the biggest, baddest Bounty Hunter, this side of Boba Fett is a cross between John Cleese and the Terminator. It’s kinda wacky- but it really works. A very funny issue that has something with the Klingons brewing.

A Must read.

"Star Trek #7 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

The crisis ends- but while things seem good, I know it won’t stay that way for long.

The Nasgul finally peak my interest putting a huge bounty out of Kirk’s head. Now, I eagerly await the arrival of the baddest bounty hunter this side of Boba Fett!

Can’t wait to find out just who this guys is…

"Star Trek #6 (DC Comics 1989-1996, 2nd Series)"

WORTH CONSUMING!
In the real world, the whole crew would be court-martialed and drummed out for how it is handling this crisis! R.J. is awesome. I can’t wait to see how this plays out!!!!!

"Star Wars: Rebellion Volume 1-My Brother, My Enemy"

WORTH CONSUMING!

Taking place between Episode IV and VI, Rebellion focuses on the career of Tank, a little known childhood friend of Luke’s whose mentioned only once in the entire Series of movies.

It’s a fun book, but there’s no Chewie, Han, or droids. What’s up with that???

The art is stunning. It’s got a lot of great fight scenes that actually rival Lucasfilm.

Worth Consuming!

"Dan Rooney: My 75 Years With the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL"



WORTH CONSUMING!

I’ve been a Steelers fan since I don’t know when. I’ve got family from Pittsburgh, I’ve always loved that the helmet only has a logo on one side, and one of the first sentences I remember ever reading was “One for the Thumb.” Well, it took a while to get the thumb, but I’ve been a member of Steelers Nation my whole life, and I don’t expect to change!

 If you are a fan of the Steelers, this book is required reading! If you are a football historian, this book needs to be on your reading list, as the Steelers are one of the original NFL founding teams. If you are from Dallas, I pity you.

 A great, fun, and fast read. (I wish it was longer!)
