Questionable personal politics of the creator aside, Doug TenNapel has made some truly great all ages comics, with the only inkling of his own stupid views on things being that he often uses biblical allusions or allegories (though they come across more as someone finding their place in the world and believing in a

I’m still mad that the creative team seems to have outright abandoned their Image comics series Danger Club, which was pretty much the polar opposite of Supergirl, but was an absolute blast, basically Lord of the Flies with superhero sidekicks.

Bone, the answer is Bone, what the hell is wrong with you AV Club?

It’s based on an intentionally bombastic comic book, if a ridiculous concept like Batman can be accepted then so can an unrealistic version of someone with multiple personalities :)

As far as obscure fairly recent Image books go I would absolutely kill for a television adaptation of Nick Spencer and Riley Rossmo’s Bedlam. The damn thing was already a procedural so it wouldn’t even be one of those idiotic cases of television creators turning everything into a procedural, and it would be a good way

The comic was actually pretty well liked, it was just a silly little book with nice art from right around when Image was starting to come into their own as the defacto place for creators to do whatever the hell they want in comics

Yes, his behavior was shitty and needs to be learned from, but it is absolutely insane to lump a bad one night stand where he acted like a horny dick to his date with men like Weinstein or Spacey who have a sociopathic pattern of predatory behavior. I’m glad, and I feel like Aziz may one day also be glad (as this sort

The storyline you’re referring to was in one of the specials, Cassidy: Blood and Whiskey. Same characters and everything (although Eccarius couldn’t do anything Cassidy couldn’t do, and was much younger than Cass and didn’t know that he could walk into a church or touch crosses or eat garlic etc.) Cassidy kills

Did they greenlight this after I made a stupid joke about my idea for a show with Josh Groban playing a squeeky clean cop who has to work with a grizzled old veteran of the force? Granted in my pitch it was Clint Eastwood, but still!

Ugh, Ward felt like he wandered in from a completely different show, I have no idea what the fuck was going on with that character and his subplots or why I was supposed to care, even though the scene where he smashed his hand to try to get painkillers was a laugh riot! On second thought, fine, the show needs more

Yeah, but people will be confused when Iron Fist’s skin is black when he’s got the mask on and then he’s white without the mask.

Yeah, if I had done it I would have taken out a whole hell of a lot of the brooding, but I felt there were parts of that that also had potential, I liked the whole thing where he’d start shaking because he didn’t have control of his rage and emotional pain since the monks taught him not to express those feelings,

Which is how Danny should be played, what the hell were the showrunners thinking?

I thought he was fine as Danny, it was the tone that didn’t work, I felt he did a serviceable job with what they gave him, and all he really needed to do to get the character right is be able to exude a sort of everyman sort of affable oaf energy with some rarely seen inner darkness. If Josh Hartnett of all people

Yeah, I like Finn well enough as Danny, but they need to lean into how goofy and carefree the character is often portrayed as in the comics, he’s not just “serious guy” all the time. The taking things seriously is definitely there when the shit goes down, because he takes his role as The Iron Fist seriously and

You don’t actually really see a whole lot of Moore’s work influencing comics these days, I can’t really think of anything in particular he did that other people wouldn’t eventually do anyway or that was being done in other corners of the industry, whether in the states or abroad in the several other countries that

I actually thought te film started really strong, I like the concept of men of science or reason like a detective or doctor or whoever being confronted by something that cannot be explained or fathomed by any sort of reason. The problem is the movie goes almost entirely off rails about halfway through when it starts

It doesn’t have to make sense, human beings are like that, some of them just do awful things for no damn good reason.

Yeah, but he’s a great listener, his approval of it was the reason my game show idea got the green light at NBC!
