Superman: Red Son #3 of 3 “Red Son Setting”

Remember how last time I praised that opening for issue #2? As a Dark Lord of the Sith once said: Impressive. Most impressive. It’s the 21st century and Superman has celebrated his 63rd birthday. Brainiac has told him almost six…

10 female-led action movies that prove Elizabeth Banks is wrong

A couple of Fridays ago, the latest reboot of Charlie’s Angels was released, and to no one’s surprise, including director/writer/supporting actor Elizabeth Banks, it bombed. Hard. No one was asking for another Charlie’s Angels and I have no clue how…

Avengers/JLA #4 of 4 “The Brave... and the Bold”

Our story opens with a series of viewscreens showing calamity and disaster as a universe dies, as someone monologues about the end of this reality while we see a nebulous face that calls itself the “sentience of the universe”. It…

JLA/Avengers #3 of 4 “Strange Adventures”

It’s another amazing cover from George this time, with an honest attempt to get every single JLAer and Avenger on it. I mean, he has both Crimson Foxes on this thing! If he missed anybody, it must have been a…

Avengers/JLA #2 of 4 “A Contest of Champions”

So before we jump into the game, I just have to break down this cover. It’s a fantastic work, and it’s great to see the one, true Captain Marvel featured on the front. Although I do have an issue with…

JLA/Avengers #1 of 4 “A Journey into Mystery”

X-Men/Teen Titans was the first DC/Marvel crossover story I ever bought. The stories published during the ’70s came out before I was buying comics, and I suppose when reprints were available they looked a little to, uh, Silver Age for…

Justice League of America #200 "A League Divided" (part 2 of 2)

Previously in part one, we had a recap of how the Justice League was formed after they defeated seven alien combatants who came to Earth to fight for the rulership of another world. The seven Kryptonite meteors they arrived in…

Justice League of America #200 "A League Divided" (part 1 of 2)

Back in the early ’80s, my comic buying habits were a bit erratic. Other than X-Men, there weren’t a whole lot of titles I was steadfastly wedded to. However, I do remember really enjoying Justice League of America when…

DC Comics’ Legends #6

The sixth and final chapter of this epic saga (I say this perhaps with only a touch of irony. A smidge. A scoch) begins with Darkseid ready to deliver an old school, classic monologue about how awesome he and his…

Top 5 insane nerd arguments (settled by governments)

Nerds. They kick ass. Also, in that one movie, they committed a disturbingly high number of sex crimes. But above all, they like to argue with each other. They absolutely love it. They love it the way Robert Carradine and…

3 awesome DC Elseworlds stories that need to be movies

So I’ve talked before about DC screwing around with their classic characters by throwing them into new settings that range from “plausible” to “this writer is clearly having a nervous breakdown, please get them help.” One of the best sandboxes…

Superheroes, ranked (in order of Jewish-ness)

This Halloween, more children than ever dressed up as their favorite superheroes, according to a statistic I just made up. It makes sense for children to aspire to be powerful, respected bats and metal drunks. But my family is Jewish,…

Will Justice League be new and fun, or just Batman v. Superman 2?

Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Justice League. I absolutely won't miss it. But the truth is I'd see Bridget Jones 4 if Batman showed up in it.

Summer 2017: Terrible websites react

There have been some pretty great movies this summer. The Marvel offerings were not only lots of fun but well-constructed. (Except, why did Kurt Russell’s brain actually look like a biologically human brain? About 25% of my waking thoughts are…
