I think that came out pretty early in the year, which may also partly account for its omission. I personally thought it was amazing, and the fact that it was a magazine-sized and mixed prose with sequential art were features rather than bugs for me. I’d say it was far and away the best thing I’ve read by Scott Snyder…

I straight-up disliked the comic, but it had a decent high concept. I hope this show is decently successful so that some of Morrison’s strong works get a shot at (relatively) mainstream exposure. That guy deserves some Hollywood money.

On one hand, a sexual harassment storyline would give us Larry exasperatedly trying to understand why men would want to expose themselves. On the negative side, Jeff would have to go to prison.

Vince Guaraldi’s non-Peanuts work is great, too. Another good one to look for if you haven’t heard it is Los Straitjackets’ Christmas album. It has great surf-rock takes on not only traditional carols, but also a killer rendition of “Linus & Lucy.”

Great analysis. Fiffe’s art is both really snazzy looking and great at telling a story. I’m excited for Bloodstrike.

Honestly, it is easily in my top 5 of the year.

I haven’t seen a TON of movies at the theater this year, but I’m a little surprised that Logan and Dunkirk are as highly rated as they are. Both were definitely good-to-very good movies, but I honestly found that the latest Spider-Man movie stuck with me for longer than either of those pictures.

I totally get it, man. One of my proudest moments is getting a letter published in Matt Fraction’s recent Fantastic Four run, and that wasn’t even a good comic (the issue I was commenting on was pretty fun, but literally right after I wrote to the letters pages, it became quite bad).

I’m kind of impressed at how long this article is. I don’t know if I agree with it or not, but that’s way more words than I thought was possible to describe a short, mediocre theme song.

I’ve semi-boycotted Marvel for the last five years because of their insistence on a $3.99 price point while simultaneously disrupting books with gimmicks, crossovers, and relaunches, but I’ve always meant to catch up on Squirrel Girl and some others (Ultimates, Ms. Marvel, Gwenpool) in trade. This seems like a special…

See, I was thinking maybe Leah Remini could pinch-hit...

It’s really unforgivable when they have Grant Morrison’s run on JLA as a perfect blockbuster movie template. Also, WB Animation is responsible for the Justice League TV show, which is probably the best superhero adaptation of anything ever. I’m sure some of the guys in the writing staff would love the chance to earn…

I think that if it starred a character called “Uberman” or something generic, “Man of Steel” would be a slightly above-mediocre sci-fi movie. It’s not that good, but it’s not that incoherent, either, and it has some good performances. However, it completely whiffs on its characterization of one of pop culture’s…

By all accounts, Spacey has basically been a harasser since before he was famous and allegedly right up through his final season on House of Cards. Wahlberg did evil things when he was young but appears to have really changed his life, so I think there is a difference. It bugs me that Wahlberg didn’t directly seek…

ASBAR is really awful, but it’s terrible in a very creative way (I’m thinking of the infamous Green Lantern issue in particular).

Yeah, the state of Vertigo is really sad, but according to Rich Johnston there are big plans afoot for a relaunch of that line in 2018.

I haven’t liked his work in years (full disclosure: haven’t read anything since one TPB of his X-Men run from the library), but the highs of his career were quite high. I’m definitely optimistic that a shake-up will help his writing. Hopefully DC will keep him on a relatively small number of books and/or let him do…

I’ve been really looking forward to Thor: Ragnarok and the new McDonagh film for a while. The new trailer for the latter just has me even more excited. Seeing the trailers for the first time, I’m interested in and cautiously optimistic for Murder On the Orient Express. I Love You, Daddy looks pretty stylish - let’s…

Dating back to the Star Wars prequel days, I’ve always been underwhelmed by Natalie Portman’s acting for some reason. But it doesn’t help that the character she plays in the Thor movies is easily the least-developed love interest in all of Silver Age Marvel Comics (and that’s saying something).

Man, I liked the first Thor pretty well, but Thor 2 was abominable. It did have a few good points in the form of Chris O’Dowd and Tom Hiddleston’s scenery-chewing, but the plot was even more nonsensical than these Marvel movies usually are. I’m also a huge fan of Walt Simonson’s run on Thor from the ‘80s, and his…
