Amy Rose was the first Time-Travel Hedgehog
When you think of time travel in the Sonic the Hedgehog lore, who is the first that pops into your head? I thought it was Silver the Hedgehog, just like several other people. But guess what? Amy Rose did take part in time travel, and so did Metal Sonic.

Which Sonic Character has the saddest backstory?
I recently watched a video by YouTuber Tyrecordslol discussing how many fans believe Shadow the Hedgehog has the saddest backstory in the Sonic franchise. While I understand why Shadow’s story resonates with so many, I actually think there are two characters who could rival him: Knuckles and Silver the Hedgehog.

From Variants to Legacy
This idea didn’t come from a panel, a publisher, or a Comic-Con keynote. It came from a comment section. After I published my article about how comic shops don’t need more collectors but more readers, I came across a comment that quietly reframed the entire conversation. The commenter pointed out something that, in hindsight, feels almost obvious: libraries are often the genuine point of entry for new comic readers, not comic shops.

Marty Supreme - A Movie Review
It’s every man for himself where I come from. Marty Supreme is a 2025 film. Marty Mauser, a professional table tennis player, stops at nothing to reach his global quest for stardom. That involves cheating the system, hustling, and endangering others with every pursuit of fame.

Goodbye, Mr. Duvall. Top Story - February 2026.
It is turning out to be an interesting year. I was in the middle of teaching a class when a pop-up appeared on the screen announcing the death of Mr. Robert Seldon Duvall (yes, that was his full name). I was in the middle of a discussion on the obsession we have with winning when it comes to sports (the Winter Olympics was a theme), and I felt as though things were coming full circle. We had already lost Gene Hackman last year, and along with that titan, it feels though one particular golden age has closed off to be replaced by...?

In Defense of Hamnet: Why Emotional Truth Matters More Than Historical Permission
When Sir Ian McKellen recently dismissed Hamnet as “improbable,” suggesting that Shakespeare’s imagination “certainly didn’t just come from family life,” he was not merely critiquing a film. He was, perhaps unintentionally, applying the wrong standard to the kind of story Hamnet is trying to tell.

SpongeBob Review
The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Pickles" is a fascinating and entertaining installment of the beloved animated series. In this episode, SpongeBob's enthusiasm and dedication to his job at the Krusty Krab are put to the test when a peculiar customer, known as Bubble Bass, orders a Krabby Patty but claims that it doesn't have pickles on it. Despite the fact that SpongeBob is certain that he included pickles in the sandwich, Bubble Bass insists that they are missing, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings. As the situation escalates, SpongeBob becomes increasingly flustered and determined to prove that he did, in fact, include pickles on the Krabby Patty. This leads to a series of hilarious and creative attempts by SpongeBob to rectify the situation, including using an absurdly large magnifying glass to search for the missing pickles and even resorting to using a pair of binoculars to examine the sandwich from a distance.
