Motivation Time!

What's up Nerds!

Alright man, there's tons going on and honestly sometimes when there's a lot of stuff on the plate, it gets real easy to say "eh" and put stuff off, it's a habit I'm trying to break and I bet I'm not alone.  Then you see a guy do something in a new and inventive way and I'm back in!!

WHAT AM I READING?

This week I'm enjoying the first half of Rick Remender's run on Uncanny X-Force.  They do some awesome stuff bringing in elements of the fan favorite Age of Apocalypse, adding some cool story to the most under utilized X-Man from the original five, Angel.  Wolverine, Deadpool and Fantomex all have some wonderful character beats in this run and I highly recommend it.  Check it OUT!!

Peace Nerds!!

Return of Young Justice

Hello Nerds!

The Talent here just popping in to talk one of my favorite properties of ALL TIME!  Young Justice.

Great comic, better cartoon and an integral part of every 90's teenager or 00's teenager experience depending on how you found them.  The comic was hyper exciting had fun art from guys like Humberto Ramos and was the cool younger kids that I guess would one day replace the Titans when the Titans got too old to be Teens...?  That part was never really explained.

If you're younger, than you know the criminally underrated cartoon, in all it's angtsy great teenage goodness!  The tragically short first season can be found right here.

Good news for fans of all formats, they're back!

DC Streaming premiered Season 3's first three episodes Friday and they're just as good, the tone remains consistent, the characters are clearly dealing with the first two seasons issues and things are entertaining.  I'm not a fan of how the app works, I hate that it isn't available in more places and I'm a little insulted that they charge $7.99 and now are sending Titans to Netflix, overall they're kind of pooping on their customers, BUT they brought back freaking Young Justice!!

And if you're a comics fan, Brian Michael Bendis is relaunching the title THIS WEEK!!!!  Wednesday get into your local nerd store and buy two copies cause you'll probably "SQUEE!!" the first one to death.  Bendis is the guy I trust to write young heroes, he nailed Ultimate Spider Man in the least R Kelly way possible and he was a major architect for a long time at Marvel.  Heck he just got thanked by the spider-verse creators at the Golden Globes by NAME and now he's launching Young Justice.  GET READY!!!

WHAT AM I WATCHING?

I suppose this week is a twofer, cause yeah, I'm watching Young Justice, but I also found something on Netflix that is well worth the watch, THE FIX!!!  The guys involved are all hilarious comics in their own right and they bring in a lot of new voices, it is funny as can be.  I out loud gut laughed multiple times, it's hilarious.  CHECK IT OUT!!

Good News Monday!

Hey Nerds,

So the 2019 quest to make the world a better place continues right here, as I make it my mission to improve your Mondays.

I recently had a shift in thinking about Mondays and the reality is that this is the day we start the week and our attitude about how we handle the start of something goes a LONG way to determining the tone and the outcome.  So let's start the week positive, let's start the week exciting or at least in a good mood.  So to that end, I give you a blog a I just found that seems like a great one, and in this one, they highlight some good news stories from 2018.  Read them and happy weep.

See you tomorrow nerds!

Wildcard picks!

Hello Nerds!

Check out this week's episode of Ball Control where I pick the wildcard winners and talk about the head coaching vacancies in the NFL, short blog but a full hour of sports brilliance.

Who you got this weekend?

Everyone has a price.

In honor of getting my first article of 2019 published on Sports Map Houston, we'll keep this one short and sweet and in honor of WWE.

Here's that time I had a very interesting conversation with The Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase.

It's worth a listen just for his take on why leaving the WWE for the WCW was the worst decision for his career.

WHAT AM I READING?

Today I'm going to steer your attention to one of my favorite authors of all time Anne McCaffrey.  She wrote various series and was a massive influence on my love of dragons, time travel and strong female leads in fiction.  This is one of her lesser series but I strongly recommend starting with this one as it's the most grounded in modern earth as a starting point, it's Freedom's Landing.

The Freedom series follows a group of humans after an alien invasion, one of the ways this powerful alien race expands it's empire is by dumping unruly captives on uncolonized planets and just seeing how they do, this series follows one such group on one such planet and it's excellent.

This year's motivation

What's up Nerds, this is Cory DLG and welcome back to my blog.

So yesterday we debuted the shorter more fun, light hearted version of the blog and we're going to bring it right down today.  Kidding, kind of.

For those who know me personally, they know my Dad passed November 4th last year, and he and I were a lot alike.  This isn't meant to be a downer post but more of an explanation post, he was one of my best friends and one of the most supportive guys but he also had a ton of bad habits and honestly those are the things that I see in myself that I need to break.  Those include writing, and putting myself out there creatively, it isn't that he never wanted me to do those things, it's that when I didn't push myself to do more he was ok with it, because I was ok with it.  NOT his fault, but totally my fault.

So that being said, I'm working on my weight, I'm pushing myself creatively and I have goals this year that exceed my current grasp.  All that being said, one of our first guests in the studio (something I'm SO grateful he got to see) was Dad, check out the DLG Takeover.

WHAT ARE YOU READING?

So this was a crazy cool storyline, massive epic stakes, cool villains and its always fun to see all these iterations of, of course, Spider-Man!  Spider-Verse, the complete trade was a great read and sets up some cool beats for all of these different spiders, thwip on over and read it!

I totally loved it.

2019 the year of the Blog

Welcome one and all to a brand new year, that's right is 2019 mother F'ers!!  Unless you do the chinese new year, in which case we've got some time to kill...

Still with me?!  Sweet, this is where Cory DLG gets his blog on, enter the mind of a man who may just be out of his mind.  Today I'm keeping it simple...

HERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD WATCH

So one night I'm half asleep and I wake up to someone being funny on the TV and to my surprise it's something I've never seen before but it's funny, then it was actiony and then it was sad.... I was hooked.  And IT WAS ANIMATED.

Olan Rogers is credited as the creator and frankly the guy is dynamic, it's a great watch and here's the link.  So far the only place I've found it for streaming/online purchasing is Amazon Prime Video (that's a lot of words, AMPVi?), it should be checked out.

It's called FINAL SPACE!!

Check it out.

SOMETHING I SAID LATELY

On yesterday's show Joey Savage asked how I felt about the upcoming movie slate for 2019, it's around the 42 minute mark.

Check out my opinions because I'm amazing.
