Also, there's a Wolverine TPB back coming out now that features Wolverine stories across all ages, with him basically fighting his way through Earth's wars and history, like in the opening montage of the Origins movie I guess.
It's called Prehistory and it looks like a great collection, I will get my hands on it as…

I read the 1st 8 issue long arc and liked it, but I found the storytelling to be somewhat unnecessarily convoluted. I guess I'll have to give it another go and re-read them and then continue with the run

Books of Doom - Perfect origin story for Doctor Doom, telling his story from when he was a child until he became the ruthless leader of Latveria. The art is also excellent.

Same here, I am also on a Wolverine kick.
I just finished vol 3 of the current Old Man Logan run and it's really fantastic, I haven't seen such amazing and inventive panel layouts since Matt Fraction's Hawkeye. The art in general is very good too, with well done stories and battles reintroducing the fucked up and…

Other current Marvel books that are great are Old Man Logan, and Doctor Aphra on the Star Wars side

Ok, fine, I guess we'll have to discuss comics in the newswire… Shudder…
So, what have you been reading?

Wow, never heard of the movie before but this has me pumped, metal and horror really is a great mix.
Also, The Loved Ones was a fantastic little flick

Ok, I don't know anything about that character or that run but if that's the case it's just as stupid as Jane being Thor… Well, almost, Thor being anybody except Thor himself is idiotic, but him suddenly being a woman is even a little dumber, he's the Son of Odin for Christ sake's, always has been in Norse mythology…

Well, no surprise there but I'm still relieved. Portman isn't much of an actress usually and she gets on my nerves, she was ok in Thor 1 but her and her posse really brought down Thor 2

To be fair, Beta Ray Bill didn't start calling himself Thor and didn't star in a Thor solo series, he just has the power of Thor, huuuuuge difference. I have to agree that having a new Thor is really dumb, even for comic standards.
Besides the obvious reason for Marvel which is the Thor name sells more, I really find…

I don't know, probably yes seeing as Beauty and the Beast is already breaking records apparently… However I can tell you that if there's one Disney adaptation that I really want to see it's Mulan, that one has a lot of potential for live action

Basically because it makes money that way, it's a safe bet.
Fanboys are pretty rigid and dumb and just want more of the same or else they won't like it (cough - Force Awakens - cough) and newcomers don't really care, so the smart choice is to give fans more of the same while giving newcomers a formula that has been…

Fuuuuuuucking yeeeeees, so pumped for this show!!!!!

In many parts of the world sweet rice with milk is very common, and it's actually really good

Yeah, at some point it's us as readers that have to change our ways and not get attracted or triggered by the latest bullshit controversy that everybody will forget in a few days, and maybe invest more time in articles such as these that have more of a lasting impact anyways. I for once pretty much stopped going to…

If HR is Savitar they should just cut the crap and introduce a new mystery speedster that is actually a new incarnation of Cavanagh every season as a running gag

Completely agreed! I often bash the AVClub because of their political content that doesn't really seem connected to Pop culture, but if they would actually publish interesting and well researched articles about the Trump presidency and American politics I would still be completely on board

I almost don't read newswire or Great Job Internet anyways because it's usually just dumb content so I don't really care about the new comment system, but I don't get the hate it gets. Sure, it has some technical issues that they have to fix, but besides that the only thing that changes is that you have to click one…

I mean, I do enjoy the occasional snarky and mocking article about the latest irrelevant idiocy from the president or his supporters, but come the fuck on, don't turn the AVClub into some buzzfeed-type site that prioritizes attracting clicks over making actually interesting and well-made content

Hopefully not, but it is true that in todays frenetic media bombardment times shows that don't leave a good impression right from the start often struggle to recover from it.
It really is important, Flash for example it the opposite of AoS, it is still doing great because of the strong impact and hype of S1, despite a…
