HEROIC HOPE ABOUNDS FROM MARVEL/SONY DEAL: ONE SPIDER-MAN FAN'S PITCH FOR A "SPECTACULAR" FILM

HEROIC HOPE ABOUNDS FROM MARVEL/SONY DEAL: ONE SPIDER-MAN FAN’S PITCH FOR A “SPECTACULAR” FILM

Spider-Man swings home to Marvel and geeks across the world cheer—none louder than myself.

After months of speculation, rumors, and cyber hacks, we have official word from Marvel Studios that they’ve finally brokered a deal with Sony, allowing Spider-Man to appear in their cinematic universe, thus pretty much guaranteeing his place on an Avengers roster somewhere down the “web” line in Phase 3.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY FREAK SHOW PREMIERE DOESN'T CLOWN AROUND, GOES STRAIGHT FOR SEX AND SCARES

AMERICAN HORROR STORY FREAK SHOW PREMIERE DOESN’T CLOWN AROUND, GOES STRAIGHT FOR SEX AND SCARES

Clowns are scary.  Who knew?

Last night saw the premiere of American Horror Story: Freak Showand as per usual, the show gave us more scares and sexual overtones than we can shake a bearded Kathy Bates at.  Now that’s not necessarily a bad thing and in past seasons it has worked really well; however, I worry these “staples” of the series are beginning to become too heavily depended on by the…

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. SEASON 2 PREMIERE MAKES PROMISES IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO KEEP…

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D had a tough go at it last season, but was able to pull itself up from its bootstraps toward its final episodes to finish its first season out on a stronger note than how it started.  This is mostly due to the effects felt from Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier; with HYDRA factions revealed and striking out within S.H.I.E.L.D.,  it directly impacted the course of…

BEYOND THE PULL LIST: AN INTERVIEW WITH UNDERCITY COMICS ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO MAKING A GOOD COMIC BOOK STORE GREAT

BEYOND THE PULL LIST: AN INTERVIEW WITH UNDERCITY COMICS ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO MAKING A GOOD COMIC BOOK STORE GREAT

Comic book stores are everywhere, yet I know people who will drive a few cities over to go to one store over another to pick up their weekly issues.  Hell, I am one such person.  Why is this?

People want more from their comic book store than just comics; they want a sense of community and a place where everybody knows there name.

So when I first walked into Undercity Comics a little less than a…
