So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…

Devotees of SWO Productions may remember that my absolute favorite comic book character–my favorite fictional character at all, mind you–is Jubilee of the X-Men. I’ve written about her before, and I have reviewed so many comics that feature her. And in her history, she’s been honestly kind of everywhere. X-Books, obviously (so many different ones, from Uncanny X-Men through mini-series books like X-Tremists and Dead … Continue reading So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…

Episode 53(?): X-Men Origins – Wolverine

I may have misnumbered my episodes. Last episode saw us go from #52 to #54. Whoops! Human error, folks! I could edit the episode titles, but I prefer to let my mistakes outlive me. ANYWAY, this episode, the guys from the Culture Shocked podcast join the order to discuss the notoriously bad X-Men Origins – Wolverine, and Stew has now covered all three movies in … Continue reading Episode 53(?): X-Men Origins – Wolverine

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #20-16

And we are back! Let’s read some allegedly great comics! #20. Planetary #13 I’ve read Planetary but one time, a few years ago, and all at once beginning to end. It works better that way, I think. As I made my way back through issue 13 here, I found myself wanting to revisit the story the series told in its completion. That said, Warren Ellis … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime, #20-16

Stew’s Reviews: Curse Of The Mutants

Comic book sales! Wait, is something a “sale” if it happens every day? Or is that just a discount? How does that… what is the difference? Whatever, I’m going to call it a sale. My favorite local shop runs a perpetual sale where if you buy at least 50 back issue comics, you get 50% the total price. I’ve always been enticed by the idea, … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Curse Of The Mutants

Comics’ Best Alternate Looks: Part 2

Welcome back! This is part two in a [X]-part series in which I look at the best outfits superheroes have worn when they weren’t in their usual attire. Like us, heroes have to keep their appearance fresh, and no matter how classic a look is, change can be good! When last we convened, there may have been some consternation that I considered Terry McGuinness, Miguel O’Hara, … Continue reading Comics’ Best Alternate Looks: Part 2

Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

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

Why the Best Comic Characters Just “Work”

Some of the most memorable and fascinating characters in all of fiction were first created for comic books. The last decade-plus of movie ticket sales can more than substantiate that. But even before cinematic effects caught up with the way these larger-than-life heroes deserved to be presented, you are still talking about characters that have moved millions of units and endured for decades across many … Continue reading Why the Best Comic Characters Just “Work”
