It’s as true for comics as it is for Netflix! In any solo IF story (excepting Brubaker’s masterpiece) the writer seems to have included an off screen humorcharmectomy trying to make Danny in to Shaing Chi or something. It’s infuriating. Both titles and characters are awesome. They are also distinctly different in…

Thank. You! I’ve been saying this too. Make some garbage up about how Danny found K’un Lun in a pocket dimension or somesuch. Best case scenario is Danny and Luke go find K’un Lun and it takes like 2 eps max? This clears up space for better stories like Walker’s recent run or even some old Claremont stuff. Danny and…

I am overjoyed to see Netflix giving me at least one episode of Super BestFriends Punching Hour.
I really wish they’d just do a full on Heroes for Hire run already. Give us 14 eps: 1/2 PMIF, 1/2 DotD. It’s not like Misty didn’t run H4H for a while. Street level heroes doing street level things with a little bit of the…

Dope people doing dope stuff! That’s what life is all about. Can’t wait to add this to my recently exploding BP library.

Not gonna lie. I needed a bit of good news today. Something to look forward to amidst the onslaught of what can only accurately be described as horrors. It may be a little thing. It may be seemingly insignificant, but this made me happy and brought me hope and a little bit of joy. That’s one of the things comics are…

Throughout my life as a nerdgeek I have, on several occasions, attempted to get into Thor and/or Hulk solo comics. To my dismay I found that the characters, worlds, and mythos lacked resonance for my particular aesthetic. But I am again reconsidering my stance as Ragnarok looks like a frikkin riot! I will think on…

I get stupidly happy for Brandon Routh whenever I see Legends stuff. He was all set up to be Superman and then? Poof! But as it turns out, not being Superman may have turned out just fine for him as his Ray Palmer is one of my favorite on screen interpretations of any superhero. Score one for the good guys I guess.

So, we can have two Falcons, (at least) two Spider-Men (Mans?) and three wolverines, but only one Captain America at a time? How come? Why do certain characters get this “single file” treatment? Are there others?

Of all the things I loved about this short the fact that music was done by Flying frikking Lotus?! I didn’t even know that I needed this. Yet here I am. How great is this thing. Why can’t we have a whole series? WHYYYY?!

So, where are the people screaming “keep yer politics outta my football” right now? They’re cheering a person of color and an immigrant’s right to protest and take a stand for what he believes in despite what other people on his team may feel. My brain hurts.

I’ve been saying this for awhile now. The current socio-political climate is a PRIME opportunity for the X-Men as a title(s) to step back into the forefront of these discussions with well known characters doing some real heavy lifting narrative wise. Take your pick: police brutality, BLM, immigration, America First,…

Can’t wait to see the cirque du soleil style verbal, mental, political, and ethical contortions in the coming days. “Welllll, it was only a couple, not like HRC’s bajillion pizzagate BENGHAZI Americafirst.” We’re doomed. Doomed I say!

Doing a 45 minute show on a topic such as this is such a hard thing to do well. I appreciate the effort and the front half of the ep was a really interesting start of a discussion. That’s not a “well, at least they tried” cause honestly sometimes it’s better not to try if you’re not equipped.

When the Justice League is done well it’s everything. And if anyone can turn the mediocre title into something great, Priest can. That said, given my love for his BP run among others, I’m having a hard time moderating expectations.

I felt that was about Battleworld. The Shiang Chi book was great for example. Secret Wars? notsomuch.

While the actual Secret Empire proper was sorta “meh”, this epilogue struck me as an interesting bit of introspection and examination on the nature of nationalism, colonialism, and authoritarianism. Really cool example of what the genre can do, plus I dug the art on the whole. Aside: This cap reminds me of Ben…

It could also depend on expectations. Like, if you were just looking for a straight up TV comedy I’d totally be on board with saying something like Red Dwarf or Spaced might be worth re-watching. Or if you were looking for something more straight up space opera-y maybe Farscape or Lexx ? The biggest thing Orville has…

I regret that I have but this one star to give the perfection that is this response.

Counterpoint: McFarlane (whose work I generally loathe) brought back optimistic fun space opera that has been sorely missing since TNG ended. Goofy ala GQ but sincere, almost earnest, in its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds. In fact, I’m sure it’s going to get canceled because I loved it so much.
