Talking Custom Binds and Daredevil with Tim Benson of Omaha Bound!


I'm waaaaaaaaay overdue for a blog update!  Life hasn't been very cooperative over the last few months as far as allowing time for writing reviews, but I have been keeping both my Daredevil Collected Edition Reference and Jason Aaron Thor Collected Edition Reading Order updated, so I've got that going for me...which is nice.

On a more serious note, I had the opportunity last week to nerd out for a little bit with Tim Benson of Omaha Bound in the second installment of his new series for Omaha Bound's YouTube channel.  Tim was a generous host, humoring my long-windedness and many Daredevil-related tangents (anyone who has followed this blog shouldn't be surprised by that at all).  As you'll learn, he's also quite a DD fan, so you're all lucky that we managed to stay on topic as much as we did!  He even rightly called me out on forgetting to mention the Andy Diggle/Shadowland era when discussing the amazing run that the title has been on for the last twenty years.  Fortunately for me, my support of this era is well documented here, but it was an omission none-the-less!

Our discussion (which was my YouTube debut) can be seen below, or by visiting Omaha Bound on YouTube.




Just a couple other quick notes about/links to things we discussed:
- Both my Greg Rucka/Marco Checchetto Punisher and Daredevil: Playing to the Camera were both by Houchen Bindery.
- My Charles Soule Daredevil binds were bound by Heroes Rebound Studios.
- The mentioned, but yet to be completed Ann Nocenti Daredevil binds will be a Heroes Rebound/Houchen collaboration (at least that's the plan at the moment due to the current COVID-19 mess).
- Pictures of my completed custom bind projects (and some design process pics) can be found on my Instagram.

I have not yet had the chance to work with Tim/Omaha Bound on any custom binds yet, but hopefully we can figure out a project to work on together in the future.

Many thanks to Tim and Omaha Bound for having me as a guest, it was a ton of fun!

Review - Iron Man 3

Image
Iron Man 3 (2013), PG-13, 130 minutes - Iron Man 3.  Wow.  There's quite a bit to say and I'm not really sure where to start (and that's after thinking about it all last night and this morning).  There were things that I liked and things that I didn't.  I'm not sure that I've worked it all out yet, but I do know this for sure: there will be a longer than usual spoiler section at the end of this post. Iron Man 3 starts off with a narration from Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) himself, thinking aloud, trying to figure out how to best tell the story of how he has gotten to this point in his life.  He starts once, stops, then starts again, flashing back to a technology conference held over New Year's of 2000, settling on that as the point at which everything currently happening can be traced back to.  That flashback sequence sets up some of the major players of Iron Man 3, Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), and Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall) as well as giving us a y

Review - Mama

Image
Mama (2013), PG-13, 100 minutes - Jessica Chastain is ruling the box office right now, starring in the two top grossing movies in theaters this past week.  One is Zero Dark Thirty (for which she earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress), and the other is this little horror film based right here in Virginia (it had a $15 million budget and made over $32 million over its first week). Mama begins in tragedy just after the beginning of the financial collapse in 2008, a man named Jeffrey (Nikolaj Costar-Waldau) murders a co-worker and his estranged wife before taking his two daughters (three year old Victoria and one year old Lilly) and fleeing town.  Driving too fast on snow covered roads, he loses control and they slide off the side of a mountain road and crash in the woods.  The three of them survive the wreck and come across an abandoned cabin after fleeing the scene.  Once he's started a fire, Jeffrey breaks down in another room.  After regaining some composure, he comes
