Can DC Find Its Iron Man?
Can DC Find Its Iron Man?
DC has been playing catch-up to Marvel in the movie game for over a decade. While DC was releasing Halle Berry’s Catwoman and a false-start of a Superman reboot, Marvel was raking in fat stacks of cash and critical acclaim with X-Men and Spider-Man franchises. Thanks to Christopher Nowlan and company, DC was able to string together a stellar Batman trilogy, but in the meantime, Marvel has been…

DC Speculation, Pt. 1: Gotham
DC Speculation, Pt. 1: Gotham
Like it or not, the current speculation market is tied to television shows and big budget movies. Rumours of an Age of Apocalypse movie send the first appearance of Apocalypse through the roof. Rumours that Doomsday is coming to a theatre near you send the prices of Man of Steel #17 and #18 skyrocketing.
After a few years of false starts, DC is finally getting its multimedia act together. I’ve…

Casting The Justice League in 1977
Casting The Justice League in 1977
I was recently reading an old issue of Justice League of America, #146 to be exact. It was a double-sized issue published in 1977 in which the League takes on The Construct, a giant robot who can communicate with and control other machines. Basically he’s a poor-man’s Ultron. The drama in this issue revolves around whether or not Red Tornado (who has apparently returned from the dead) is being…

Upon Further Reflection, Amazing Spider-Man 2 Breaks My Heart
Upon Further Reflection, Amazing Spider-Man 2 Breaks My Heart
Here be Spoilers. And foul language. Fair Warning.
I know this is about a month out of date. I had to reflect on this for a while. By now, everyone who wanted to see ASM2 has seen it. These are my thoughts. I welcome yours.
I hate this franchise. I fucking hate it.
But before I really get into this review, let me be clear about the exact nature of my hatred. Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Manmovie…

Amazing Spider-Man #4, First Appearance of Silk
Amazing Spider-Man #4, First Appearance of Silk
I seem to be writing a lot about Spider-Man lately. I guess that’s what happens when Dan Slott writes a mythology-changing story arc that defies all expectations and receives widespread critical acclaim.
Anyway, I said a short time ago that Amazing Spider-Man #1 is probably not a collectible book. At least, it’s not a book that’s going to significantly increase in value any time soon… or ever.
Ho…

On Comic Books and Race
So, I picked up The Flash Annual #3 last week and was introduced to the New 52 version of Wally West. This Wally is a kid, kind of a punk, and a person of color.
Wally’s race change has stirred up a bit of controversy on the web, and it’s prompted me to think a bit about how the big two are approaching the whole diversity problem.
By “problem” I mean, comic books are too white, probably too male…

Where Will Wolverine Die?
Where Will Wolverine Die?
Confirming the worst kept secret in comics, Marvel has released the teaser art for a new mini-series coming in September called The Death of Wolverine. The series will be written by Charles Soule with art by Steve McNiven.
Comic Book Resources has a good interview with Charles Soule. Check it out.
Interestingly, Soule was asked how important Paul Cornell’s current run on Wolverinewas to…

Buy Multiple Copies of Lumberjanes; Read One
I’m a 30-something guy who likes superheroes, sci-fi, and crime noir stuff. I am in the target demographic for most comic books being published today. I am not in the target demographic for BOOM! Studios’ Lumberjanes.
I found it in the “All Ages” section of my local comic shop, not my usual haunt. The book is about a group of girls at a supernatural summer camp. It’s funny and sweet. In the…

Dr. Strange Movie "News"
Dr. Strange Movie “News”
I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier over the weekend. (No spoilers here). Pretty good movie. Better than Thor: The Dark World, probably as good or a little better than Iron Man 3.
There was a little speculation nugget tucked into the film that I thought was worth mentioning.
At one point in the film some bad guys have occasion to list off some people who might one day get in the way of…

Los Angeles Back Issue Porn
So I spent last week at a conference in L.A., and while I was there I did a little digging through the back issue bins.
I’ve never been to California before, so I had no frame of reference for California comic stores. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I found Yelp.com to be really useful. Not only can you read lots of customer reviews, but you can also see pictures of the shops,…

Caliban and The Field: First Issues and The Elevator Pitch
Caliban and The Field: First Issues and The Elevator Pitch
While driving in the car last week, I heard this great radio bit on elevator pitches. An Elevator Pitch is a concise, catchy synopsis of an idea. Imagine you’ve stepped onto an elevator with a movie producer or a bigwig from a publishing house. You’ve got about 30 seconds to pitch your best idea before the person who can give you your big break gets off the elevator.
The story reminded me of a…

Amazing Spider-Man #1 (2014) Speculation
So, Superior Spider-Man ended today with issue #31.
(Is your Spoiler-Sense tingling? If not, you should get that checked out, because stuff is about to get spoilt.)
I mentioned before that this is a series worth having in your collection. The story is strong, and it has been very popular with fans. The issue you want is obviously, Superior Spider-Man#1. I’m not sure if there’s another key issue…

Update: Another Marvel Character to Watch
Update: Another Marvel Character to Watch
Last week I wrote about a few Marvel characters that might be worth watching from a collecting and speculating standpoint. Since then I’ve thought of one more I should have included.
Marvel has committed itself to another X-Men movie after Days of Future Past. It’s also announced another Wolverine movie is in the works. We’ve already seen many of our favourite second-tier and second-generation…

Pretty Deadly & Ten Grand: Occult Comics Done Right and Wrong
Pretty Deadly & Ten Grand: Occult Comics Done Right and Wrong
For awhile there, back in the summer of 2013, Ten Grand was one of my favourite comic books. The first offering from J. Michael Straczynski’s Joe’s Comics label over at Image, Ten Grand was a film noir story with a supernatural twist.
Now, from the get-go, Ten Grandwas derivative. Joe Fitzgerald is a mob enforcer. When he and his girlfriend, Laura, are brutally murdered, she goes to heaven and…

Speculation: Marvel Characters to Watch
Just recently Deathlok popped back into the popular consciousness thanks to an appearance on Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Before that, Marvel and Netflix announced that they would be producing series featuring characters like Iron Fist and Luke Cage.
Marvel has had so much success on the big and small screens of late, that they’ve started pulling characters from their benches. Each of those…

What’s Happening to Wolverine? Does Anybody Care?
We’re three issues into Paul Cornell’s new Wolverine series. The reboot was accompanied by much fanfare and a rumour that something big was coming down the pipe for everyone’s favourite Canadian mutant.
So far, the gimmick is that in the wake of losing his mutant healing power Wolverine has put on a suit of body armour and teamed up with a group of super villains, financed by a mutant called the…
