I never would have guessed that Sonic the Hedgehog and Archie Comics would be the ones to revitalize my interest in superhero comics. For reasons I won’t go into immediately, I walked away from both Marvel and DC in 2009/2010. They simply stopped telling the kinds of superhero stories I wanted. When Humble Bundle featured a selection of Sonic the Hedgehog comics as their digital book bundle, I thought it was a good opportunity to stoke my son’s interest in reading in general and comics in particular. I read the first book just to see what Sonic looked like these days. It hooked me instantly. I remember when Sonic the Hedgehog premiered in Archie Comics back in 1993 . I considered it a kid’s book, with goofy artwork and the kind of four page gags for which Archie Comics was known. The new Sonic book I read was from 2013. It began with Sonic and Tails fighting for their lives against a tentacular mechanized horror controlled by a sinister and murderous stuffed doll. The book slowl...

The Summer Of Free is partnering with the Retro Rewind Podcast to present The Summer Of Free Movie Club!  Each month during the summer, we're putting a spotlight on a free geek-genre movie that you can watch for free (and legally!) online, and then getting together to talk about it via google hangout! The next movie being featured is "1984", which you can watch right now until the end of June on Vudu! Please note, this movie contains some nudity and sexual themes that we were not aware of when choosing this movie for the SoF Movie Club. I'm very sorry for not taking note of this and hope no one was taken off-guard by the content. We are still moving forward with the discussion of the film but I will try to ensure this kind of situation doesn't happen in the future. For specific info on the content, please see the IMDB parent content advisory- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087803/parentalguide?ref_=tt_stry_pg -Paeter Frandsen Then after you've ha...

As with many of my generation, two cartoons virtually defined the high-adventure genre of techno-fantasy during my formative years. Both ThunderCats and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe featured pseudo-technological heroes engaged in a never-ending battle against the quasi-mystical forces of evil. Both cartoons made my parents very nervous with their parade of occultish imagery and the regular invocation of otherworldly forces. They were very concerned that these shows would cause me to join a cult; I was very concerned that they wouldn't allow me to watch them anymore. Somehow we all made it through the 80s alive and cult-free. I originally hesitated when I saw the first issue of He-Man/ThunderCats on the comic shop shelves. DC Comics had already burned me on Scooby Apocalypse and the language in Wacky Raceland was starting to grate on my nerves. I wasn't ready to accept another “re-imagining” of fondly remembered characters that simply cast them as dysfunct...

(Ephesians 4:17-19, ESV) 17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. v. 17, Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. Although this letter was written to a community consisting of both Jews and Gentiles, Paul doesn't think of them in those ethnic categories, but as a new kind of man, a single body created by joining the two people groups in Christ. (2:11-22, 4:1-16) So it makes sense, while speaking partially to Gentiles, that he would tell them not to live like Gentiles do. It's a reminder to them, and to us, that despite the numerous backgrounds repre...
