Through the Eye of Agamotto

I do hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with food and loved ones! Except I do hope no one ATE their loved ones, because "Ewwww!" Hello kiddies! Now that gobble gobble day is well behind us, many are starting to put their various Xmas decorations and most importantly we are gearing up for the release of Rogue One, but before we get there, like many of you I took this past holiday to FINALLY catch up to the rest of the world and go see Dr. Strange in theaters. And, as many of you can guess, this will be a movie review of sorts. Normally in my movie reviews I make a list of pros and cons, but in this instance I feel like it deserves something different.

Plus, my kiddo has gone back to school (2nd grade) and so, yeah, I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Not so much, because I no longer find joy in posting, but I've been plain old busy. Anywhoo...  So what is happening in Geekdom?! Mark Hamill is coming out of retirement!!! Yes, I know you guys are scratching your heads (maybe not), but for those of you who missed the announcement (or just plainly can't get enough hearing it), Mark Hamill, is coming out of retirement from reprising his role of The Joker: The Clown Prince of Crime in the animated rendition of "The Killing Joke."  Yes, you guys heard that right, he will be reprising the voice work for The Joker, and it has been confirmed. There are also rumors that Mr. Kevin Conroy might...
