Wonder Woman's New Costume for David E. Kelly

I didn’t think anything would make me like Jim Lee’s redesign of the Wonder Woman costume that debuted last summer in Wonder Woman #600.  Until now.  Its not enough that rumors are swirling about Hollywood that David E. Kelly’s Wonder Woman pilot for NBC is a weird hot mess of Ally McBeal, Diana Prince, and [...]

 
Betty Draper Is No Emma Frost, while Superman's Boots Are For Walking

Its a shame that the casting director on X-Men: First Class is blind.  How on earth could anyone cast January Jones to play everyone’s favorite bad girl X-Man gone good Emma Frost?  In the words of Stephen Strucker better known as Johnny from Airplane, “Where did you get that dress, it’s awful, and those shoes [...]

 
Donald Duck Does Inception, Vampires Bite X-Men, And the Mandarin Biopic

I’m waiting to be impressed.  I’ve reached that age, where I’ve pretty much seen everything and nothing is blowing my skirt up anymore.  Case in point, Inception.  Sure it was visually stunning and it kept me interested for two hours but– it seemed familiar. Maybe if Leonardo DiCaprio hadn’t done Shutter Island earlier this year, [...]

Wonder Woman's Extreme Makeover

I’m not sure what’s worse: a retcon like Spider-Man’s One More Day or an extreme makeover of a character.  Is it laziness on the part of the editorial staff or is it a brilliant shot in the dark?  I’d be willing to go with the latter if there weren’t quite so many retcons and makeovers.  [...]

 
Brutality Within The Careful Limits of Good Taste

Is it just me or is the entertainment-industrial complex getting increasingly schizophrenic?  Now ten years into the 21st century, we seem to be having the same debates we had in the last century about how much sex and violence is acceptable  in our entertainment (films, movies, music, comic books, video games, etc). On the one [...]

 
Snow White Dropping F-bombs Doesn't Get Old, Why I Love Fables

Its a new month and time for a recap of what comic books I flipped through.  May was very lackluster, I’ve been trying to ween myself off of mainstream Marvel and DC offerings.  This has led to a few indie gems like Umbrella Academy and books with promise like Turf.  Luckily, I did happen to [...]

 
Nick Fury's Date Night and Jonathan Ross Shocks Me

Its not that I’ve fallen prey to Iron Man mania, even though promotion for the film is everywhere: on ESPN, at Burger King, any toy aisle at Target.  I’ve been impressed by Matt Fraction’s run on the series.  The completion of his most recent story arc just happens to coincide with the U.S. debut of [...]

 
Asgard Falls and Tony Stark Has Selective Memory

Hell hasn’t quite frozen over, but the dead are walking around and somehow after enduring Avengers Disassembled, Civil War, Secret Invasion, and Dark Reign it looks as though we’re almost at the end of Bendis’ grand story arc.  If the numerous house ads are any indication, then we get a whole new team of Avengers [...]

 
Wonder Woman in Chains, while Siege is a Bloody Yawn

Iron Man 2 trailers are everywhere.  Green Lantern and Thor films are shooting now.  But, where the hell is Wonder Woman?  It’s been talked about for years first as solo project back in the early 2000s and then as part of an overall Justice League film.  I don’t know what the hold up is. Go [...]
