Top 10 Astro City tales (part 1 of 2)

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Terminal Provocations”

This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks: The show still hasn’t decided whether or not it has a cold open, nor what should go in it. Last week didn’t have one. This week does, but wastes it on a…

A rare case of Olsen-dickery: Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #121

It’s time for another installment of Bizarre Silver Age Comics and another comic book story that became world-famous as part of the Superdickery meme: “Jimmy Olsen’s Death-Trick!”, published in July of 1969. Surprisingly, there’s no bait and switch on this…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Cupid’s Errant Arrow”

Our episode gets off to an uninspired start when Ensign Boimler narrates his personal log about an interaction he wasn’t there to see and has no reason to write in his log about. The Cerritos is in the Mixtus system,…

Batman and Robin, Mummy Crime-Fighters: Detective Comics #320

I’m back again with another Bizarre Silver Age Comic, and another cover that’s pretty well known to Superdickery fans. This is despite the fact that it doesn’t even involve Superman. In fact, I think this is my first look…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Moist Vessel”

Well, what a pleasant surprise. This episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks got three; count ’em, three laughs out of me. Keep this pace up and we should have a watchable program by like 2022. In the cold open, Captain…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Envoys”

In today’s cold open, we trot out a well-worn Star Trek trope of a glowing ball of energy invading the ship, much like the alien that impregnated Troi in the Next Generation episode “The Child”. Mariner and Tendi are wheeling…
