I’m not sure how many actual mutants are left in the Marvel Universe (at one point, they claimed 198, which was immediately revised when someone realized there are more Wolverine knockoffs than that, and that the team rosters would have to change eventually), but they’re slowly being supplanted by Inhumans, a phenomenon which many attribute to Marvel not holding the movie rights to the X-Men. Regardless, in the fifty-odd years since the X-Men first debuted, we’ve seen an awful lot of mutants, and in recent years it has become a running theme that one’s power reflects one’s true inner self,…

With the upcoming ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ film hinting at revisiting the iconic battle from “The Dark Knight Returns”, lots of people have been ruminating over the question of who would win a battle between DC’s biggest caped icons. Yesterday, we addressed the problems in that theorem, in that Superman and Batman have much in common as heroes, men of valor, and proud wearers of bed sheets on their back. Of course, we also focused on the question of what character would be most suited to neutralizing the world’s greatest detective, whereas today we ruminate on who might…
With the upcoming ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ film hinting at revisiting the iconic battle from “The Dark Knight Returns”, lots of people have been ruminating over the question of who would win a battle between DC’s biggest caped icons. (One has super-speed, is invulnerable to all harm, and has laser vision, so naturally people are voting for the one with a cool car and a big checkbook.) But those who think that Batman and Superman are one another’s nemeses (nemisises?) forget one thing: THEY’RE ON THE SAME SIDE. Thus, in today’s query, we’re going to add a caveat…
Because of relentless promotion of the new “Saved By The Bell” tabloid biopic, my daughter has not only requested to watch it (a soft ‘No’ at this point) but the original SBTB series (which, to my disappointment, kindly Auntie has allowed.) Aside from a complicated explanation of how the Netflix ‘Season One’ is actually a different show entirely, and how that isn’t actually Rodrigo’s dad, I found great amusement at how much she goggled at early-90s fashions and hairstyles the same way I did with ‘Leave It To Beaver’ in my youth. Interestingly, the most annoying side-effect was that I…

This week, I was pleasantly surprised to find one of my comics to be littered with references to several episodes of the classic Twilight Zone, including ‘Nightmare at 20,000 Feet’, ‘Twenty-Two’ and ‘The Odyssey of Flight 33.’ As a long-time fan of the Zone (I can often quote episode, season and production number, though not with the alacrity that I could at age 17), I was happy to see a reminder that Rod Serling’s masterwork is still remembered in this age of irony and jump-scares. Indeed, the amount of suspense and terror in even a not-so-iconic episode (take, for example,…
