You wouldn't take your daughter to see a rated-R movie, right? But she still watches movies? This is the same situation. Give her the age-appropriate stuff, just like any other form of entertainment.

You're only allowed to make a dark Superman film after four or five bright and inspiring ones.

Any potential lack of Fat Cobra I simply cannot countenance.

Yes. Yes it is.

Correct on all counts. I think, if anything, Disney's ownership has only been good for Marvel. The long-hidebound "House of Ideas" is finally making a legitimate effort to grow their audience and diversify their content, at a level and breadth I haven't seen in a long, long time (to the point where it's actually…

Glad you dug it. Now you've got me curious; I'll have to check out the color volumes sometime.

I believe so. All I knew her from at the time was HIMYM (which I didn't even watch, honestly), so I always thought that casting a bit weird. Until I saw her firing a gun and jumping effortlessly into a jeep.

I haven't caught up with the last several MCU movies, but even in her really brief action scenes in Avengers and the like, I was still notably impressed by Ms. Smulders' dexterity and physicality. She seems like a legit action-hero, and I'd welcome any chance of that status actually coming to pass.

The one time Peta Wilson finally got a righteously-deserved chance to ascend to action-movie superstardom, and it's in this piece of dreck.

Yeah, just imagine - an adaptation of his work that was actually respectful, well-done, and perfectly in keeping with the themes and tone of the original. If only I could understand why he didn't hate it…

I'm willing to bet it's all a bunch of axe-grinding hooey on both ends, so I'll happily ignore the whole thing.

Oh, and I should add: Humble Bundle has John Rogers' Dungeons & Dragons run for pay-what-you-can, which everyone who's ever role-played should immediately buy.

I was unaware of Moore's feelings about Morrison - I know Morrison's said a lot of unkind (and, I think, unfair, especially in light of Morrison's own body of work) things, but I haven't heard anything from the senior member of the Britwave.

I quit DC awhile ago and haven't been keeping abreast of new developments, but I like this for probably similar reasons. It feels like a way to reinvent Supes for the modern era that actually brings him back to an essential part of him that's been largely forgotten. Of course, this is only a temporary situation -…

Oh, I know just which one you're talking about. Jesus E. Christ, that's some issue.

I guess I'll chip in, while I'm here:

Well, there are two things called "Books of Magic" - the original 4-issue limited by Gaiman, and then later the ongoing by Rieber and Gross, which went to 75 issues. I believe we're currently talking about the Gaiman original.

Books of Magic is excellent - one of the best examples of "different artist per chapter" I can think of. It certainly adds deliciousness to have some knowledge of various branches of DC lore, but Gaiman's adept enough at hitting different tones and recasting backstories that it doesn't really matter. (Though here's…

The end of Zenith's Lloigor arc is one of the best things Morrison's ever done, and I think something he's tried to recapture many times since.

Other than forensic speculation, these are the first times we get to know anything about him, and they are the very first scenes of him interacting with another human being at all. It seems as if the show is going to use Reba to discover Dolarhyde's reactions to the world, and his past; I feel like it is very…
