Comic Book Review: Star Trek: Defiant #15
“Star Trek: Defiant contains characters and elements from each of the first four live action Star Trek shows. This was a risk and could have turned out as a big fan-fic mess, but no. It’s glorious. Do you remember TNG episode 24? Those bugs are back and the crew of the defiant are gonna put a stop to this latest infestation. ComicsOnline gives Star Trek Defiant #15 4.5/5 good days to die.” -Kevin Gaussoin

We loved eating a dessert with a decaf coffee at the end of the day, comparing notes with our fellow travel buddies, but it’s a dangerous habit to bring back home when we are no longer walking 7 miles a day!

Love, love Amsterdam, but those bike lanes require more situational awareness from that day-dreaming Old Man (aka ME!)
C2E2 2024: Another Amazing Year of Cosplay!
Our ComicsOnline team once again had the privilege to roam C2E2 at Chicago’s McCormick Place for their 2024 program, and once again, I was amazed at the show of nerddom. Whether they were impressive builds, highly detailed, or just having the absolute most fun, attendees really made this year memorable.
Movie Review: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
When I first went out to watch Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga….I was a bit confused. Mad Max was a great movie, but it was called “Mad Max”. Sure, other characters in the movie were important, but they were side characters. The idea that one of them would get a two-and-a-half-hour movie dedicated entirely to her origin story seemed like a stretch. Especially when it’s a prequel to Mad Max. But um….wow.

Maybe the Old Man should “mind the gap” between humor and travel dad jokes?

This really happened! And every time we went out, I saw random acts of kindness between strangers. It definitely affirms your faith in humanity.

C2E2 2024: Thank You For My Childhood – The Christopher Lloyd Panel
There’s always a level of camaraderie amongst fellow audience members at convention panels. These are your people, those who gathered together from near and far to share in your appreciation towards an actor or fandom. The energy at the Christopher Lloyd panel was something extra special.
