Superheroes and Their Roles in My Life
Saturday mornings were always a special time for me. My dad had me watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series and I don't remember much of the show but the theme song stuck with me for a long time, I still remember it. He also had me watch the animated series to X-Men and I'm pretty sure he got me into Batman: The Animated Series too but I know for a fact that he got me into Batman Beyond and Dragon Ball Z. Also, my mom surprisingly got me into the Batman movies with Michael Keaton (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Beetlejuice), Val Kilmer (Top Gun, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), and even George Clooney (Gravity, O Brother, Where Art Thou?). I love my mom but damn it, I have no idea why I was so into Batman & Robin but then, I went to live with my dad for a year while I was nine, he got me into Hulk although, I didn't know more about him until The Incredible Hulk came out.

A Man Loyal to the Dream
We're going into the first issue of the Captain America run by Ta Nehisi Coates because I have heard very good things about his writing, and his run on Black Panther. And I have to say, that Coates knows what he is doing with the Captain America character, especially when it comes to showing the impact that Secret Empire has had on Steve Rogers and the people he cares about. Coates goes into some pretty serious topics in the issue, and presents a philosophical dilemma that Rogers must come to terms with. The artwork by Lenil Francis Yu, who illustrated Superman: Birthright, does a fantastic with the job too.

Top 10 DC Films
10) 'Batman: Assault on Arkham' Based in the same universe as the Arkham game series, this movie sees the suicide squad being sent straight into Arkham for a, well... suicide mission. Their mission is to retrieve a USB drive in the Riddler’s cane that contains information on the squad that he was going to release to the public. Although, Batman has his own plan, and, you guessed it, so does the Joker. This is the best Suicide Squad movie made, and this is what the live action DCEU movie should have been.

'Nothing to See Here' by Gabriel Hart
There’s a timbre that kicks and spits throughout Gabe Hart’s city-boy-death-knell, Nothing to See Here, his new "novelette" (chapbook?). It rumbles in a plaintive prose akin to the mid-tempo reflections of the outlaw country music of yesteryear. Similarly, he's gifted with an almost unnerving plain-speak, wrought with the rough and tumble of crooked Americana. And like all good country music, NTSH yearns for some sort of redemptive resolve. It’s fitting, then, that this testimonial rhythm would birth from a crooner-come-author such as Hart.

AkaiCon 2018 Recap
AkaiCon held on July 27-29, 2018 in Lebanon, Tennessee, has reached its fifth year as one of Tennessee's best anime conventions. Last year, the up and coming con was held at the Sheraton Music City Hotel and faced issues with not having enough parking and venue space. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for a con—needing more space than anticipated is better than not being able to fill a space. This year AkaiCon moved to the Wilson County Expo Center, a much larger venue with loads of parking and venue space.

The Jungle @ Playhouse Theatre 5*
Heading to the Playhouse Theatre this week, I was excited. Strolling across the Jubilee Bridge in the sunshine, I soaked in the sights of the Southbank Skyline, documenting them with a quick snap and a cheeky selfie, before skipping down the steps to meet some good company and grab that all important, pre-show G&T.

This article I present to you is my suggestion for what they should do.
