She’s too good for what I strongly suspect this show is going to turn out to be.

I actually didn’t get the “mental illness makes you a violent monster.”

This is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media

Well, it would be nice if io9 returned to it’s original mission of celebrating nerd culture, imagination and creativity.

Also, they end up having being like if General Mills had rolled out its Old El Paso Taco Pockets by calling them “Cheerios” and filling Cheerios boxes with them instead of, you know, actual Cheerios. At best, it’s not what the loyal market for the brand name is actually looking to buy.

You just bought yourself 6 months of “Prelude to Ultimate Crisis.” You want more? I have “Neo 52” right here!

I’d take Catman over another Joker. 

I think the smart money is on Catman becoming a breakout live action character once he debuts. He’s not only a great riff on Batman — both satirizing and celebrating its tropes — Catman is  also the best modernization of the white jungle hero trope of Tarzan and the Phantom. Catman comments on all of this while also…

Wait until they get to Catman — and they will.

Ah, this is a common mistake. These books are the ones that prominently feature Lucky the Pizza Dog, with occasional supporting appearances from Clint and Kate.

My dude Fraction’s run? Seriously? How about McCann’s Hawkeye/Mockingbird? Or the original Hawkeye miniseries by Mark Gruenwald? Or the beginning of Busiek’s Avengers into Thunderbolts? The Kree vs Skrull War? There’s so much stronger Hawkeye material to recommend than the Matt Fraction run. 

Did Gizmodo get rid of slideshows? Because I totally clicked on this just to complain about slideshows.

If a Turkish man can’t be canonized and Anglicized, and give jobs to unemployed Inuits and their livestock, in the guise of a corporate spokesperson as the ultimate expression of commercialism and capitalism, then what has this world come to?

Well, his Darth Vader run features the reveal that Sith lightsabers are red because they’re “bleeding.”

Exactly the same.

Its morning...their take still looks good.

I think Ted Bundy said pretty much the same thing.

Remember when this site had complete radio silence on James Gunn because of a targeted campaign by right-wing trolls to discredit him and Meatwadf was our hero?

So to summarize the article, the key to making classic Universal monsters scary again is to use them as platforms to preach about the usual liberal politics about societal oppressions, feminism, environmentalism, and so on and so forth. Stunning and Brave.

And the author doesn’t even get the point of The Mummy so it’s…

His Darth Vader series was excellent
