We’re back with another slightly useful but always entertaining week of reviews, deep thoughts and general mediocrity. It’s also Groundhog Day this week! Will he or won't he see his shadow?? Either way Winter is moving along. I had just read recently that the sun had made an appearance only 3 out of the last 30 days! That’s crazy. On the plus side, we are well below our average snowfall as well thus far in 2023. I don’t think anyone will complain about that. This week I had a chance to read The Ends #3, DarkWing Duck #1, Sins Of Sinister #1 and Murderworld: Wolverine #1.

We’re back with another almost exciting and sometimes provocative edition of Corey’s Comic Corner, etc. Sit back, kick-up your feet and relax! You’re going to be here for a while. Hopefully! 


This weekend was a busy one and I didn’t get a chance to enjoy any new movies or read a whole lot. While it’s a large passion of mine sometimes life gets in the way and that’s ok. Anyone who knows me knows that my biggest passion of all is my family. Sadly it’s another passion that these days I don’t get to enjoy nearly as much. Especially outside of our little household of 3.

The holiday season has officially come to an end and with it, outside of a couple smaller holidays, most of us now get to look forward to the longest and darkest part of our winter until Spring finally arrives a few months from now. Thankfully we are slowly starting to get back a few extra minutes of sunlight each already.

We’re back with your weekly edition of Corey’s Comic Corner, etc. Holy hot cakes Batman! We’re less than 3 weeks from Christmas. It’s that time of the year when you spend half of your day running around stores back and forth trying to find something your kids put on their Christmas list. For us this meant looking for the perfect infield fastpitch glove for our daughter as well as a light blue starlight PS5 controller. The glove was a little easier to come by but this controller appeared to be the bigger challenge for the day. Rewind to the early 80’s….

Rock and roll fellow followers! We’re back with another wild and zany week of Corey’s Comic Corner! Fresh off the heels of another Buffalo Bills loss I come to you to both clear my head and put this day behind me. Luckily there is still a large portion of Sunday to enjoy and the weekend was otherwise a lot of fun. My family and I managed to get out and see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on opening night and it was a packed house. I looked for tickets later than usual as I wasn’t sure we would fit it in but pretty much all showings at Regal and AMC with reserved seating were full. Finally managed to score some seats at Regal Eastview. Tip of the day for our readers in the Rochester area. When in doubt, always check Regal Eastview.

In addition to comic reviews, I’m going to bring you a must watch horror movie from my long list of favorites and break down why I think it’s a horror classic that shouldn’t be missed. Picking just four or five movies will be tough but I guarantee they will leave you scared or at least scarred? Maybe both!

So grab your blanket, some popcorn and enjoy the show.

I’m just sitting down to write this blog and had to decide between Monday Night Football and The Emmys for a little background noise. I settled on The Emmys which I think really says a lot about me. haha. Yea, sometimes I surprise even myself. Wait until Oscar season!

This week I had the chance to read a bunch of new books, including a preview of the new Image comic Vanish by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman which comes out on September 21st! More on that later. Here are some thoughts that stuck out to me on a few of these books.
