I touched on something last week in an article I wrote. I poked away at a sleeping, angry bear deep within me, and it stirred about in its cage. It demanded release, and that’s where we are today. But we’re going to try to channel that into something positive. We’re going to take those negative feelings and turn them upside down! I think. Eh, we’ll see … Continue reading When Beloved Characters Are Regressed: Two Case Studies
Admittedly, I was VERY LATE in my comic reading adventure when I came around on DC. I spent my childhood as an unabashed Marvel fan. I read the quite occasional DC comic–the Death of Superman got me to take a peek at their work, and I started following the new Superboy title in its wake–but the vast, vast majority of my collection was X-books, Spidey titles, Image … Continue reading Love and Hate and DC Comics
Big shout out to Masters Of The Nerdiverse, with whom I had an interaction on Twitter that spawned this article! Check them out at their site, linked in their name! There are phases I have gone through in my life, and I imagine a lot of people who have a fondness for pop culture have gone through something similar. When I was a child, I … Continue reading The Dangers Of Liking Things Ironically
The big breaking news in the world of entertainment is that the long-awaited (long, Long, LONG awaited) sequel to DC’s Wonder Woman will finally be released in theaters on Christmas Day… the present we deserve at the end of the long worldwide nightmare that has been 2020. But that’s not all! In addition to releasing in theaters, it will be simultaneously debuting on HBO Max. … Continue reading Wonder Woman To Be Released On HBO Max!
I’ve been itching to cover this particular idea for a while now. I love fights and I love the funny, but comics are best to me when they make you FEEL. I remember reading the last issue of the six-part Spectacular Spider-Man series “The Child Within” as a boy and being struck because it was different than what I thought comics could do. I was … Continue reading The Top Five: Tear-Jerker Moments In Comics
This week we’re turning heel and delving into best assortments of villains in all of comics! A dictionary that I didn’t actually bother looking at presumably defines a villain as “the kind of person you chill like” and a gallery as “a place with… art, right? I don’t know“. But in the world of comic books, a line-up of villains–or rogues gallery–is the collection ne’er-do-wells … Continue reading Top Five: Rogues Galleries In Comics
It’s another edition of Stew’s Reviews, and this week we’re answering the age old question, what is better than one Green Lantern? It’s not two Green Lanterns. It’s not even three Green Lanterns. Obviously, the correct answer is four Green Lanterns! And no matter whether you’re a Hal fan or a Kyle man or a Guy guy or a John nut, this week’s story up … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: War of the Green Lanterns
As we inch closer to ending this hellscape that is 2020, we also grow ever nearer to the long-awaiting release of Zack Snyder’s cut of the Justice League. And news just keeps on breaking about it on our way there. There are two stories of which I was recently made aware. The first is that Jared Leto will now be in the Snyder Cut, reprising … Continue reading Snyder Cut News And Thoughts!
Back in my high school days, I went through an unfortunate “I’m too old to keep reading comic books” phase for two or three years. I’d try to keep up with some stuff in passing (which was much harder back in the formative days of The Internet), but I wasn’t reading or buying anything with any regularity. Kingdom Come was the book that put the … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Kingdom Come
I really dug Wolverine as a kid. I can actually remember why that was even the case. At the first inkling that I was going to start getting into comics, my dad told me that Wolverine was a great character, and that I should follow his and the X-Men’s adventures. This is unusual to me because I don’t even recall my dad ever liking Wolverine … Continue reading The First Five
