I contacted Steve Younis, the webmaster at the Superman Homepage, in May of 2000 and asked about a coveted spot as a reviewer for the Superman Homepage’s MMRs, or Mild Mannered Reviews. As it so happened, there was a spot open, and Steve gave me the spot. Since then, I have written over seven hundred reviews, including every episode of the Smallville television series. That’s a lot of nuts!

This opportunity has been a great wellspring for me creatively, offering me the chance to speak directly with creators, have my work read by professionals, and more importantly, have my work read, given that it led to a number of professional freelance assignments. We’ve even had notable promotion in the super-books themselves in Superman: Metropolis and Luthor discovering Superman’s identity in the comics in part by using the Superman Homepage! We’ve recieved promotion in TV Guide and Wizard And hey, Steve Younis even got a baldy! (It’s there…look for it.)

This used to be a page where all of my reviews were listed. And yes, I still have them all, and the list, if anyone’s interested. I took them down.

The main reason for this is that I looked back, read many of them, and found that I disagreed with many of my own opinions, and cringed in the face of the writing. That happens. Over time you get better, your opinions change, become more informed. I don’t regret any of the reviews I wrote, but nonetheless, as I would not post my poetry from ninth grade, after a time it feels apt not to point out my older work unless a person wants to go find it. Opinions change, and that’s okay. When opinions never change is when you have ignorance and stagnation.

I will, however, note what I am generally reviewing currently, so you can keep abreast of what I write that will in future somehow be wrong:
