Well, I guess a silver lining is that they can't say "a movie made by women…"

There's a pretty highly acclaimed Jem and the Holograms comic out right now.

Wasn't that Frost/Nixon?

According to the wikipedia page, there were 151 original songs on the Jem and Holograms cartoon. I'm not sure it would have cost that much to repurpose a few of those.

It's a good thing they didn't really hire any women to actually make the film.

That applies to so many syndicated cartoons in the '80s (well, just about all of them).

Jim Business is all business when it comes to being lazy and lethargic.

But most writers who still want to work in the industry generally aren't going to say anything because that could directly effect any job they have going forward. But we do know that writers who have been in decidedly good positions with both Marvel and DC have decided not to work with either of them over the years…

This is such a weird thing for comic fans to say. There are two major publishers for creators to get significant paying work. Certain creators *can* work outside of Marvel and DC but that hasn't been proven at this point to be sustainable at all, at least for anyone who wants to continue to work in the industry (and…

…And are all like "Richard who?"

I said this way above but the way Axis turned out seems to be pretty far from what Remender had planned originally and looks pretty blatantly like editorial forcing it into an event.

From he '70s on, the X-Mem have always been a loose metaphor for any underrepresented group, it's never worked (for obvious multiple reasons) as a 1:1 comparison with any singular group and their generally specific struggle, but the broad themes spoke to a lot of people. Of course over the last several years (decade…

Hahaha, Marvel doesn't have new readers.

Naturally. His Marvel work seems to be for the paycheck and allowing him to do these weird little stories. It allows him to do other work he cares about and he's less likely to get burned out this way like he had years and years ago. All I really care about as far as Ellis is concerned is Injection, and so long as…

How did Star-Lord come back? It's plausible enough, he was just in another dimension (granted a dimension that was set on killing him but he was still alive), but what were the particulars? Is Richard Rider still alive?

It was his creation but I don't think it was an "event" when he originally conceived the idea. Uncanny Avengers #5 certainly doesn't hint at it being the same scope as it ended up being. Say what you will about Remender but he's a strong plotter and this reeks of him having to rewrite a lot of parts as his story was…

More like Kimmy Schmidt crossed with Daredevil.

He's a vision, doesn't mean he has vision.

I always strike that up to a weird bit of world building on her part. Like England and the magic within it feels like an actual lived-in place but the few times she expanded outside of that, it feels hollow and almost to a "well, sure, magic can exist in other places" hand waving extent.

Like you expect to go back and watch season 1 episodes…"see! Regular-Sized Rudy was there all along."
