Crossgen Entertainment is officially finished.

I read online last night that Disney of all people bought the publishing rights to all of Crossgen’s characters, including all of their characters that are in development for movie treatments.

Crossgen busted out of the gates five years ago with a fresh approach, a slew of books, and a solid base of creators looking to take on the big guns. They expanded quickly over the coming years and attracted more and more talent. But the books were fantasy in nature all based around this “sigil” symbol that gave

Identity Crisis 6 escalates to the seventh and final issue.

The story continues. I give this issue a 3.5 of 5 stars. The art still isn’t all that great, minus the Michael Turner covers, but the thing with great stories is that the art can sometimes take a back seat for necessity.

So we start off seeing some iconic imagery with Robin kneeling over his dead father

Now, to contrast The Simpsons, The Desperate Housewives is a whole different monster.

I will admit that I checked this show out on a recommendation from a friend because of all of the attractive women. But to tell you the truth, I didn’t think that any of them were all “that” and the show was so freakin stupid, I understand why the American public likes a show like this.

Man on Fire (2004)

Rothe Blog Man FireThree and a Half Stars

Denzel Washington is a tortured soul, and ex Marine with a drinking problem. Isn’t that how every one of his movies starts out now? No reason to live, down on his luck, with some sort of drug problem? But I knew that going in, and I rented it anyway.

Denzel is the bodyguard of a little girl for an American Woman and her Spanish husband in Mexico City, the child kidnapping

Me and my super syrup

Rothe Blog Photo Diary Syrup

Sarah’s last trip to the store held a surprise for me. Now, anyone who knows me worth a lick, knows that if there was more protein and less fat in breakfast foods, that is all I would eat. Donuts, cereal, pancakes, waffles, omelets, shoes with syrup, anything! It’s 8:00 am and it has syrup on it, I will eat it.

She came in and told me to come out to the car for my surprise. And
