In the year 2005, DC Comics was just at the beginning of an event-crazy cycle that would eventually lead to the reboot of their entire universe six years later. It was a wild time to follow comics, but it wasn’t all positive. “Event Fatigue” set in pretty fast, and it was hard to keep up … Continue reading
Television is in full swing again after the holiday hiatus, and some midseason replacements have even swung in to make things even more interesting. Unfortunately, it’s not all cotton candy and unicorns…unless of course you’re talking about the unicorn-men on the long-awaited premiere of NBC’s Community.
