  • Comic Book Review – Power Man and Iron Fist #1

    Comic Book Review – Power Man and Iron Fist #1

    And now for something completely different!  Although Power Man and Iron Fist does feature another character we first spotted the live-action MCU version of in Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, teaming back up with his old partner Iron Fist.  But don’t tell Luke that, it’s just a favor for a friend, and how well does that usually work…

  • Comic Book Review – Patsy Walker A.K.A. Hellcat #1

    Comic Book Review – Patsy Walker A.K.A. Hellcat #1

    So I grabbed Patsy Walker A.K.A. Hellcat because I enjoy reading Kate Leth’s commentary on comics and her perspective, and I have to admit it’s more fun than I thought.  Plus, I got a solid sampling of Brittney L. Williams’s art, which works for me (she’ll be doing a Legend of Korra comic in the future).…

  • Movie Review – Kung Fu Panda 3

    Movie Review – Kung Fu Panda 3

    I previously held up Kung Fu Panda 2 as an example of how a sequel should be done.  I don’t think Kung Fu Panda 3 reaches those same heights but it’s still a fun ride. Kung Fu Panda 3 picks up not long after 2 – Po is living his ideal life as the Dragon Warrior.  He…

    Mobile Game Review – Marvel’s Avengers Academy

    Marvel’s latest mobile game is Avengers Academy, which is one of those thing where they reimagine existing characters (hero and villain) as teenagers.  It works well here, as it seems like there’s some time travel-type shenanigans hinted at as far as the story goes.  It’s by TinyCo, and if you’ve played one of their other…

    Things I Want from the New Bryan Fuller Star Trek Series

    The news dropped today that Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) will be the showrunner for the new Star Trek series set to premiere on CBS next year, before moving to the CBS All Access paid subscription.  My enthusiasm for the new show had been stifled by the mostly mediocre movies and the fact that I’d…

  • Should I Read It? Secret Wars (1984)

    Should I Read It? Secret Wars (1984)

    I know what you are thinking – didn’t we just leave this party?  And the answer to that is…complicated.  I am talking about the original Secret Wars from 1984-1985 today, one of the very first big crossover events at the big publishers.  It debuted 32 years ago, though you can’t tell from the May date…

  • Comic Book Review – The Vision #4

    Comic Book Review – The Vision #4

    The fourth issue of The Vision is one of contrasts, something Tom King and the team have mastered so far.  We see the ideal for what Vision was hoping for when all this started.  The kids playing football in the yard (with humorous synthezoid banter reminiscent of Charlie Brown and Lucy), his wife in the…
