Doc Samson

Doc Samson is the one of the few male super heroes who can not only fight crime, help people through their emotional problem and provide assistance to the incredible Hulk, but do it all with luxurious hair. Doc Samson's stylish hair is his trademark. Some may consider a long, flowing green mane to look a little silly, but I think it opens the doors of opportunity for Doc Samson. He can fight crime, be a therapist and use his fame to endorse Herbal Essence or some other hair care products. Doc Samson is a money making machine. What if Dr. Phil had fabulous hair and gamma induced super powers? Dr. Phil has super charged money making powers at his disposal. He could come out with a new self-help book every other week if he wanted, but he can't take on crazy, old Thuderbolt Ross.


In an attempt to cure Bruce Banner of his Hulk affliction, Doc Samson created a device called "cathexis-ray," which would deplete the gamma radiation from the Hulk, permanently turning the Hulk into Bruce Banner and save Betty Ross from become cyrstalized (which in itself is a long story). Doc Samson used the left over gamma radiation to turn himself into, well, Doc Samson. He never did give himself a super hero name. The gamma radiation not only gave Doc Samson a super physique, but super luxurious hair.

Canines with Concentrated Light

This is my first entry; a first opening to my very soul, a soul which is hard and green, not unlike callow lemon freshly plucked from its bosom home-a tree of that once housed a thousand lemons, all of which nearly gone, for it is harvest time.



Enough of that.



This blog will be largly dedicated to comic book reviews. I have had other blogs and vlogs in past which centered on religion and spirituality, but I want to try something new. I like comic books. They're like super charged soap operas full of carnage and destruction, where the back-stabbing is forthright and conflicts earthshattering. I may occaisionally review a movie or video game. I may also rant from time to time.



Here is a list of some of my interests:



  1. Marvel Comics namely X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man

  2. D.C. Comics, mostly Batman and Justice League

  3. Chinese history and language (I speak some Mandarin)

  4. Hinduism, Paramahansa Yogananda

  5. Truck Driving, oddly enough

  6. Writing poetry (my favorite poet is Anne Sexton)

  1. The Secret of Monkey Island

  2. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

  3. Fable

  4. Battletoads & Double Dragon

  2. Millennium

  3. The Incredible Hulk (you rock Bill Bixby)

  4. Death Note

  5. X-Men cartoon from the '90s (I know, I know; I reek of geekiness)
