You need to read ‘Johnny Hiro’

When most people think about comic books they probably envision buxom babes and buff dudes flying around with flashy-colored, skin-tight costumes saving the day from maniac villains bent on destroying the world or extracting justice upon criminal enterpises.

No (comic) justice for Captain America

Stephen Colbert weighs in on the death of Captain America:

Part of me is really skeptical. They won’t kill him off forever, just like they didn’t kill of Superman forever. But, it is very shocking to say the least. I’m not extremely bummed about it, as I’m not a big Marvel reader, but I’ll probably pick [...]

‘Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut’

I picked up two Superman-related films over the holidays after receiving a gift card, and one of them was the Richard Donner cut of “Superman II.” For those who aren’t aware, “Superman II” was actually shot by Richard Donner at the same time of filming as “Superman I.” Donner saw both films as two parts [...]

Usually, this discussion centers around how the industry is hostile toward women breaking into the business. [...]

Leaked Spider-man 3 trailer (with Venom!)

Folks, I think you’ll appreciate this leaked version of the official trailer that was just released for “Spider-man 3.”
The leaked version isn’t as polished, the renders are incomplete in places and there’s even still frames. But the payoff is at the end, with a scene of fan-favorite Venom! (I would embed the video, but the [...]
