The Hero Blog will be back in October!

Hey gang - sorry for the lack of posts after going daily for years and years. Life is getting in the way of posts. I knew it would interfere at least a little, but I had no idea the extent. 

This has been a crazy few months, but very rewarding on a personal level. Here's what's been keeping me from my beloved blog:

1. Work - We have our big conference in September. I've taken on more responsibility this year, which means a lot more work (the good nes is that I have subsequently been rewarded - I love it when it works out that way!). 

2. The 90s Project has taken off. We've got over 25 songs and I'm putting the finishing touches on 5 or so (some I'm playing a lot, some I'm just adding a background vocal/guitar/bass/whatever). The project ends at the end of the month, but I'll need time to throw all the songs together on disc, create artwork, level, etc. Join our Facebook group if you want to keep tabs on what is going on. (There are links to some of the recordings there if you're interested in listening.)

3. Oh yeah - I'm married and we have a 5 year-old who just started kindergarten. I need to spend time with them too!

So you probably won't hear much from me next month. But I'm coming back in October. I hope you'll check back in then. I'll be sure to post to The Hero Blog Facebook page upon my return.

Out Today - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox Blu-Ray

Two of my favorite actors in one superhero film. Nathan Fillion (Firefly) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy) head up an all-star cast for Warner Bros. animated film "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox".

We all wish for the chance to go back in time and change the things, for The Flash, that coveted chance is within reach. He traverses time to right a violent, decades-past crime against his mother, but the ripples of his good intentions prove disastrous, as a fractured, alternate reality now exists in place of the familiar one. Stumbling through this twisted reality where even Superman is nowhere to be found, The Flash seeks the trusted wisdom of Batman, only to find a grittier, more violent Dark Knight in his place. Together with the help of Cyborg, they race to restore the continuity of Flash's original timeline while this new world is ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman's Amazons and the Atlanteans, led by a battle hardened Aquaman. With breath taking action and an all-star voice cast featuring Kevin Conroy, C. Thomas Howell and Dana Delany, it's a bold, emotional vision that will forever change the landscape of the DC Universe!

I love this "What If?" alternate reality type of story. Anything can happen. Anyone can bite it at any time. Fun! (And it can all be yours for under $15 on Amazon.)

Joss Whedon tells us a little more about Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

At last weekend's ComicCon in San Diego, Joss Whedon and Marvel announced the subtitle of the next Avengers movie - "Age of Ultron".

I'm totally excited to see Ultron. And was ALSO excited to see Hank Pym...until I saw this!

So that's a "no" on Pym. I guess that means Stark builds Ultron?
