Welcome to my semi-annual blog round-up discussion thing for all the upcoming superhero movies in the coming year! I haven’t done one of these in the past couple of years, mostly because these round-ups are pretty much all about hype, and, these days, I try to avoid hype as much as possible. For instance, as…
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THOR 2 ABOUND. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE YET TO SEE THE MOVIE. DOOM DELUISE: So Thor 2. You attentive readers out there may remember, when Jim and I sat down to review the first Thor a few years ago, we were in agreement that we both enjoyed the movie. As…
DOOM DELUISE: Several years ago, after the abysmal X-Men 3, Fox funded a Wolverine standalone movie, which took place prior to the events of the X-Men movies, that everybody pretty much agreed was stupid. Somehow, though, at the same time, everybody agreed that Hugh Jackman is still a pretty great Wolverine. Flash-forward a few years,…
Welcome to the latest installment of Doom and Doomer, where Jim Doom and I take a back-and-forth look at comic book movies. Today we discuss Man of Steel, which most of you probably saw awhile ago. To explain: We live on opposite sides of the globe, so it’s difficult to find times where we’re both…

It’s that time of week again! No, not Wednesday. Well, I mean, yes, it’s Wednesday, but that’s not what I was trying to get at. I mean I’m going to review some comics. From last Wednesday. At least I think they’re from last Wednesday. If I’m wrong, blame international date lines for the difference. This…
Blue and Orange. Orange and Blue. What would Hollywood do without you? As is the case with nearly every major Hollywood release these days, 300: Rise of an Empire only has two colors in its palette: Blue and Orange. It’s one of those things where, once you see it, you can’t un-see it. You can’t…
According to Rule #34 of the Rules of Acquisition, “War is good for business.” That’s entirely different than Rule #34 of the Internet, but I can’t really get into that here. But war is good for business, in a lot of ways. Especially in movies and television and, of course, comic books, war drives profits…
Welcome back to “Worst to First,” wherein I give short capsule reviews of each of the past week’s comics that I ended up buying, starting with the week’s worst issue and building up to what I consider to be the week’s best. If it’s not on the list, it’s because I don’t read it. If…
