Through my many years of watching films, I have come discovered that some movies are synonymous certain genres. When you think “Mob movie,†The Godfather usually comes to mind. If the term “Science Fiction†or “Space Opera†is mentioned, one might have visions of light-sabers or Vulcans run through their head. And when someone says “Horror-Comedy,†the first film though of is The Toxic Avenger. Ahh yes, The Toxic Avenger. Not only is this film extremely entertaining, it is a pinnacle of independent film making and single-handedly shaped the direction of an entire movie studio, as well as influenced countless…

Or – “Come To The Dark Side… They Have Cookies!” During the events of ’52,’ the Religion of Crime was fixated on “the twice-named daughter of Kane,” and spent a great deal of time trying to skewer Batwoman in accordance with the prophecy. They failed in stabbing her to death, but didn’t disappear, resurfacing with a new leader, a crazy white-skinned woman known as Alice. During their intial encounter, Batwoman was stunned to have Alice refer to “our father,” before swan-diving into the freezing polluted waters of Gotham Bay. Is Alice a loon, or is she genuine? And does this…
The mystery of the nekkid girl found in the woods of Athens, Greece deepens as Athena (the Greek goddess) makes her brief appearance only to turn back into the amnesiac Athena (the girl). Confused? Don’t be, as we offer up some spoilers to the latest issue after the jump.
 Or – “Former Captain America Steve Rogers Is STILL Dead, But That Could Change At Any Moment…”  The most recent Previews gives us the news that this series will be running an additional issue before the Captain America series restarts in January with #602. (It’s really NOT #602, by the way…) Steve Rogers’ return to the land of the living is pretty much fait accompli, and the solicitations have already given us hints of what he’s going to do once he’s actually returned from the bleedin’ choir invisibule. Of course, the main problem we have is that at this point…
The hits keep on coming in Project Superpowers #4 as Black Terror makes a decision, Masquerade bares her soul to her fellow Scarlet Sisters, a traitor is discovered and Samson has a rematch with the only person to defeat him. Oh, and a shocking revelation about Captain Future!
When an ancient foe rears his head, will Samson be able to overcome him, or is our hero doomed to a watery grave? Meet The Bad Guys, the series devoted to introducing new and ominous threats to the Superpowers Universe, rolls out issue number three by introducing Dagon, ancient man/fish god!
Or – “Teenage Angst, Part Two.” One of the most wonderful things about Bob Kirkman’s work on Invincible are the supporting characters, each of whom has depth and a life of their own, and most of whom have amazing named. Dupli-Kate. Shrinking Ray. Atom Eve. And the absolute, bull moose gonzo whopper most amazing name of all time: REX. SPLODE! When I get old, I want to roll around in a motorized wheelchaire and just yell “REX SPLODE!” at all the young whippersnappers with their baggy pants and their tiny little i-Pods and their whatever it is they do when…
Or – “They Also Serve Those Who Only Stand And Wait Get Retconned After Twelve Issues…” It’s a sad truth of the Legion of Super-Heroes that many readers consider them (in the words of my pal Otter Disaster) “an inside joke that I don’t get.” That confusion is understandable, given my own questions on whether Vol. 4 Laurel Gand and Rebooted Andromeda should be considered the same character, or whether Alchemist and Element Lad should be treated as one, sharing as they do little more than a real name in common. So, it’s nice to be able to take a…
This week, Stephen and Matthew take a peek under the hood of Wonder Woman #37 and hope the Princess of Themyscira doesn’t crack them on the head too hard.
Or – “Last Issue We Saw The Brawn Using His Brain. Will The Brains Have To Use His Brawn?” Er war Superstar. Er war populär. Er war so exaltiert, Because er hatte Flair. Er war ein Virtuose, War ein Rockidol…
