In 1993 my dad gave me three copies of Superman #75.  Two of these were the “black bag” variant that contained assorted goodies and a variant cover all encased in a black poly bag with a bleeding Superman logo on the front.  The third copy was the widely available basic newsstand version.  In addition to the individual issues, he also gave me The Death of Superman trade paperback which contained the 11 comics detailing the entire Death of Superman storyline.  Growing up, I was always been a fan of comic books but I hadn’t read them with any sort of regularity since I was in grade school so I was a bit surprised by this present but I was still grateful and excited nonetheless.  Little did my dad know that his seemingly simple gift would send me down the long path to becoming a comic book geek.

Throughout all of geek history their have been the great debates. Who would win in a fight, Mighty Mouse or Superman? What’s the better time machine, the Delorean or the Tardis? Which is better, Star Wars or Star Trek? [Editor: could Pikachu ever battle Raiden?] I will not really be answering any of these questions, but I will be taking a look at a different side of the third question.

Let me come right out and say it, the new Clone Wars movie was good. Provided you take it for what it is. It is not Episode 2.5, it is not a stand alone movie. It is a straight to DVD quality movie that is intended to act as an introduction to a new Saturday morning cartoon. As such you have to hold it in the same light as Star Wars: Ewoks, and Star Wars: Droids. Now that’s out of the way.

Yeah. You heard me. Do I have your attention? How about now?

Yeah, that’s right, unlike Capcom, Mortal Kombat decided that the heroes of the Marvel Universe were too weak, and probably still too divided since Civil War, so they’re going to enter the DC Universe.

Finally, Batman will be able to destroy Sub Zero. Don’t even try to say that he won’t either because you know that he will. How many times has he put Mr. Freeze in Arkham? Sub Zero will be a walk in the park for the Caped Crusader.
