James Gunn’s Superman is a Balm of Kindness

Showing Goodness to Everyone Recently, Fox News featured a story about how Superman has suddenly gone woke. James Gunn, the director of the Superman film, stated before the movie’s release that “Superman is the story of America. An immigrant who came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value, and it is something we have … Continue reading James Gunn’s Superman is a Balm of Kindness

Jab’s Reviews: The Legion of Super-Heroes

THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: The Legion of Super-Heroes is one of the oldest super-teams in all of comics, and one of its most original ideas. Which is kind of funny, because it was dealt with very off-handedly at first in your typical Superboy adventure. Superboy at the time was basically “The Adventures of Superman when he was a boy!”, and the Legionnaires introduced were just the original … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Legion of Super-Heroes

Stew’s Reviews: Secret Identity

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned more and more about how much I actually really like the character of Superman. For the vast majority of my comic book reading life, I have viewed the big blue boy scout as the apotheosis of boring comic characters. Too powerful, too plain, too unrelatable, and too predictable. I would occasionally read some Superman titles, but if you asked … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Secret Identity

DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods Review

I feel like I read the original DCeased story arc a few years ago for my previous podcast venture, but I’m not actually 100% sure. The past was so long ago, you know. I do definitely recall having read it; what I don’t remember is whether I talked about it or not. DCeased was basically DC’s attempt at a Marvel Zombies style story where the … Continue reading DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods Review

Stew’s Reviews: Return of Superman

I covered the Death of Superman a few months back, and I had previously forgotten that, while it may not be an objectively well-made book, I really did enjoy it. It’s a delightful bang-up of a comic. But what’s more, I really dig some of the stuff it wrought in its wake. So we’re moving on to what will be part two in a… hmmm… … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Return of Superman

Stew’s Reviews: For The Man Who Has Everything

By the time you read this, I will hopefully have had the DC Universe streaming service for a few months. I haven’t purchased it yet, but I probably will by the time the weekend passes. What brought on the desire to get the service is that I have wanted to watch Young Justice for quite a while, but I had never found a service that … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: For The Man Who Has Everything
