Mental break of the day
This is an awesome video celebrating 25 years of Return of the Jedi. »
Doctor Who
Doctor Who Planet of the Dead was another entertaining installment into the series, if not quite spectacular. It was a variation on a David Tennant’s Doctor trope of having the Doctor fall into a situation with an intimate group of normal folk with a dangerous alien threat emerging in their midst. The episode in... »
Tomorrow is here — Torchwood ToE, Day Three
Torchwood: Children of Earth continues to pick up steam with major revelations tonight, and new mysteries to be resolved in the last two evenings. Balanced between humor and jaw dropping plot twists issues of family and security continue to play out. »
Pop Candy reader of the day
Darn, so they aren’t all comic folks on Pop Candy this week. I guess that is forgivable. This week’s featured reader at Pop Candy is Natalie Morales from the cancelled ABC Family series, The Middleman. The show was promoted pretty heavily (along with Samari Girl by ABC Family at last years Con) I believe. (Is... »
Wednesday's pull list
As I delicately sculpt the new pull list to fit my budgets and my tastes here is this week’s as found on Comixology: Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #2 Green Lantern #44 Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter HC Wednesday Comics #3 I know there are a lot of great hero books out there, but I’ve decided to try... »
They'll make a movie outta anything
The recent announcement by Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures signing of Sam Raimi to direct a World of Warcraft adaptation made me laugh a little. I’m not saying it doesn’t have the potential to be a good movie with Raimi at the helm (definitely skeptical though), it’s just hilarious that Hollywood is jumping over... »
Favorite comic book quote of the day
This one is from Marvel. I’ve started collecting, but not read Ed Brubaker’s mini and regular series run on Captain America. I vaguely remembered this quote and had it confirmed through a few Web browses from Frank Miller’s run on Daredevil: “I’m loyal to nothing…except the Dream.” – Captain America »
We are coming tomorrow – Torchwood ToE Day Two
Where Day One of Torchwood: Children of Earth set pieces of a greater mystery into place by establishing new characters and the mysterious premise for the series Day Two offered crisp dialogue and a hurried pace without a huge push on exposition. The excitement of the second installment, it would appear without having seen... »
Con advice
An attendee pro gives her rundown on how to properly enjoy SDCC. More input given in comments. (Will probably be in a bad mood rest of week, because seriously, I know where I would rather be than work.) Technorati Tags: SDCC »
Pop Candy featured reader
I’ve heard, but not read too much of today’s featured readers work, but I like that Hope Larson can stand by her conviction of wanting to sock Ferris Bueller in the mouth. »
Comic book quote of the Day
This is from one of my favorite low key Superman stories. I still have my 1998(?) promo poster for Superman for All Seasons signed by Jeph Loeb on my wall. Supes has a little word balloon drawn out of his mouth that says “To ____ Soar!” That poster has been on every bedroom wall,... »
Run down
The A.V. Club has their run down of the 21 artists they believe changed mainstream comics. Of course Jack Kirby is on there, along with others who I wouldn’t question their influence. Who is missing though. And why call it “reinventing the pencil” when you include Alex Ross. Isn’t he more of a portrait... »
Favorite comic book quotes
Today, I cheat. The quotes aren’t really from a comic book, but do involve a comic book character, one of my favorites beyond the obvious reasons that I will share at some point. The character, of course, is Batman. The source material is the 1992-1995, Batman animated series. I was reminded how fantastic the series... »
Favorite comic quotes
This one is from Y:The Last Man: In the words of Thomas Jefferson… that’s bullshit. –Yorick Brown »
An Ode to comics (but longer than an ode)
In 1999 I quit reading comic books on a regular basis. I just graduated from college. The host of comic book friends I had were all dispersing into various directions with their new lives. My life was a mess and I was in love. My girlfriend and I were moving to Oklahoma so she... »
