Spider-Man director Sam Raimi easily plopped six classic Spider-Man villains in just three films (yeah, I'm counting Curt Connors). Sadly, he seems to be slightly unwilling to commit to doing further installments...Before you realize just how many private islands or moons of Saturn you could buy, Mr. Raimi, I beg ...

There was a metric ton of announcements coming from San Diego this weekend. Chances are if you're into comics, you've seen them all over Newsarama and everywhere else, so I'm not about to recap or deliver much opinion on any of those press releases.

To the delight of many, Warren ...

After some exhaustive research (read: marathon bathroom session where my only companion was George Perez' 30th Anniversary Avengers poster), I arrived at a starting point for thinning Earth's Mightiest Heroes & Others Dressed In A Similar Manner.
10. The Swordsman:
That lavender getup is just your first clue that this isn't Marvel's ...

Allen had a point related to DC's upcoming Final Crisis yesterday:

In lieu of the actual new content I'm still working on, I'd like to point out that I was the "Celebrity Guest Blogger" (for some bizarre definition of "celebrity") over at Doomkopf.com this last weekend. What that meant was that I got to throw my opinionated hat into the ...

I've gotta tell you, I absolutely was not looking forward to World War Hulk. I've been less than ecstatic about the state of the post-Civil War Marvel Universe in general, and the prospect of yet another Epic Crossover, one which had been hyped and teased since last summer, didn't ...

Got so lucky this Wednesday--walked into the local Slipperworld to use the mens' room (some undercooked KFC did me in) and who did I run into? Danny Rand, wielder of the Iron Fist, current New Avenger and principal player in the Book of the Week. Surprisingly, he wasn't too ...

It's possible for a grizzled capes-vet like me to accept and enjoy a new status quo or a "perfect jumping-on point", even if on occasion these result from varying levels of contrivance. I get that the Big 2 want to actually publish comics for money and promote series like Civil ...
