HOW ONE PIECE WILL END?
We might be closer to unraveling the mystery of the One Piece, the elusive treasure that Luffy seeks to claim the title of Pirate King. It's widely known that Gol D. Roger, the former Pirate King, was the only one to uncover the One Piece on an almost unreachable island. But who placed it there originally? This question remained until Eiichiro Oda, the creator of "One Piece," revealed that the treasure was crafted by a legendary figure from 800 years ago, known as Joy Boy.

Kahhori: From Tesseract's Touch to a Star of the MCU's Multiverse
The multiverse exploded with color and chaos in December 2023, as Marvel's What If…? season 2 unleashed a kaleidoscope of alternate realities and a brand-new hero unlike any we've seen before. Kahhori, a Mohawk woman born from the fertile imagination of Marvel Studios itself, emerged not just as a powerful addition to the animated landscape, but as a potential game-changer for the entire MCU.

Yokai Doctor by Yuki Sato
Yokai Doctor is a delightful little manga I found sitting, along with a Marvel collection of X-Men comics from the Sixties, on the free giveaway table at the Marion Public Library. Being the pig that I am, I grabbed them up before any adolescents even got a look at them. I'm the biggest kid there is, after all.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment. Top Story - December 2023.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

The Downfall of the MCU
There has been lots of comments since the MCU released Endgame about Marvel no longer producing anything of quality. Phrases like “superhero fatigue” “go woke, go broke” and “quantity over quality” get thrown around a lot and they are all wrong. Those phrases have actually no actual validity to them whatsoever. The MCU is the same as it's always been, very little has changed.

Superman and Batman: Public Enemies (Graphic Novel)
Superman and Batman: Public Enemies is a graphic novel adaptation of an animated film. I haven't seen the film yet, but I picked up the book at Goodwill, and it was in surprisingly good condition. The artwork was dark and swirly, sometimes hard for the eye to take in, or discern exactly what was going on, panel for panel (and the artwork often broke free here and splashed across the page). No one in the comics industry seemingly thought about the plight of the nearsighted when creating their books; at least not in this era, and they really should have. All of their fans are bespectacled, pre-diabetic Simpsons characters who opine that this, that, and the third is the "Worst [fill in the blank] ever!"

Shazam, Fury of the Gods
Okay so I am a huge fan of the first Shazam movie, I think the Shazam family is great (there was a new comic this year that was awesome) and honestly I just love yelling SHAZAM! That said, when I found out there was going to be a second one I was excited, then I saw the trailer and my excitement waned a little bit. And of course the general public's reaction was not great. But we know I don’t really care about public opinion. I love Rachel Ziegler so let's see how this goes. This is my official review of Shazam, Fury of the Gods.
