For earlier entries, click HERE! Let’s not kid ourselves: the first half of this list was underwhelming. Back in 2006, Wizard put together the list of the Top 100 single comic book issues of the previous two and a half decades–basically the best single issues of the 80’s, 90’s, and first half of the 2000’s. A lot of it… frankly didn’t hold up. There were … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #50-41
Welcome back. So here it is, The Defenders – the big team up miniseries the first few Marvel Netflix shows had been leading up to. All the main heroes had their own debuts and it was time for them to have a big `ol crossover event. Unlike the Avengers, this show was more street level and was R-rated, allowing a grittier feel. It also benefitted … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – The Defenders
Where did this article come from? Not me! So let’s give credit where it is due. This was the suggestion of commenter PROWRITER from way back when I did my Favorite Comic Book Characters Of All-Time list! He threw out the base idea, I changed it just a touch, and here we are. Additionally, this is actually something we specifically covered on the podcast many … Continue reading Top Ten: Supporting Characters in Comics
Sometimes… sometimes I have such big feelings about a book that I could talk about it forever and not get across everything I need to. This is what brings us to today’s book… TITLE: Old Man Logan Writer and Artist: Mark Millar, Steve McNiven Publisher: Marvel Protagonists: Logan, Hawkeye Antagonists: Red Skull, Hulk This was the second time in my life that I read Old … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Old Man Logan
After seeing how close I had come by October, I knew that I’d definitely get 200 movies in by the end of 2021 unless something truly went awry. So then came the next thought… could I do it by the end of November? And that led me on a film spree where I averaged about a movie per day, so let’s get the heck into … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2
We have hit the halfway mark of this list as of this entry, having gotten through the bottom 50 comics on Wizard’s list of the Greatest Comics Single Issues From 1979-2006. Which, back in 2006, was considered a comic fan’s lifetime. We were all a lot younger then, folks. I was TWENTY-SIX. God! Was my lifetime supposed to be twenty-six years. Wizard did not have … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #55-51
Like Luke Cage, this series gave us the first live action version of Iron Fist after many video game and toon versions (the character didn’t even get included in any of the Macey’s Thanksgiving Day Parades in the 80’s). Both Danny Rand and Colleen Wing were played by Game of Thrones alums – Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick. At this point, the Marvel Netflix hype … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 1
In a lot of forms of media, the antagonists are every bit as gripping–if not more so!–than the heroes themselves. Look no further than professional wrestling. A lot of wrestling stories are centered around a babyface’s trials and tribulations against the heels that seek to destroy him. But so often, it’s the heels who really shine. Whether that’s because they get to let a bit … Continue reading Top Ten: Favorite Comic Villains
This is… very quickly becoming my “Here’s my recent movie reviews” post, and I am okay with that. When I started Entertainment Rex this year, the principle was that I’d discuss everything I watched, played, read, and otherwise enjoyed in the last half of a month. But I have been on an absolute movie TEAR of late, and it’s making it hard to do much … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021
We are ALMOST TO THE HALFWAY POINT! Keep making the climb with me, everyone! The last two segments of this list, covering #70-61, were pretty damn solid and full of entertaining books. Are we hitting a point where things won’t really feel questionable anymore? Let’s see! (And yes, I, too, question that what I said might just be foreshadowing) And to keep up on this … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #60-56
Hey look, I get to talk about Daredevil again. After three successful first seasons of their shows, Marvel was running full steam ahead as they were gearing up for their second run of Daredevil episodes. Despite a few bumps in the road, audiences were generally very receptive of the first seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. Around this time, Iron Fist was delayed … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 2
I regretted this… almost instantly. This was, you see, supposed to be a list of ten. My ten favorite comic book artists. Easy peasy. I’m going to do a follow up on writers, sure, but I figured I would start with the men and women who bring the writers’ ideas to life. And all I had to do was pick ten who were my favorites. … Continue reading Top TWENTY: Favorite Comic Artists
Wow, I’m still not even halfway through this list! Let’s keep going! For more of this series up to this point, start HERE and work your way backwards. #65. Avengers Annual #10 I feel like this story is less IMPORTANT (or even that good in particular) than it is just righting an egregious wrong. In Avengers #200, Jim Shooter wrote a tale of Carol Danvers … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #65-61
Welcome back to third part of this series. Last time, in the Jessica Jones entry, I briefly mentioned Mike Colter’s Luke Cage but I held off talking about him too much since I would be getting more in-depth in this one. Luke Cage has been around since the 70’s and while several voice actors have played him in various cartoons, Mike Colter is the only … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Luke Cage Season 1
It’s weird that it’s taken so long to get here. A hundred-plus comic reviews. Dozens upon dozens of articles on the genre. Lists of all sorts. And I’ve never just sat down and written up a list of my ten favorite comic book characters? That’s not entirely true. On the Ghosts of the Stratosphere podcast, there is a “lost” episode that will never air. It … Continue reading Top Ten: Favorite Comic Book Heroes
