Jarvis Slacks
No, I don’t Think Spider-man should be a Black guy. Thanks for Asking.
This is going to be a weird post, for a few reasons. First, I barely even read comics anymore. Second, I’m going to have to make a good argument against making Spider-man a Black guy. I can’t think of a better way to spend my Friday morning, actually. This all started when someone in the … Read more
Peep the new Iron Man 2 Trailer.
The Iron Man movies are loved, and oh they are loved, because it is an action film with one of the most complicated characters you can imagine. Tony Starks is rich, narcissistic, self-involved and pretty much the walk, talking stereotype of a playboy. But, underneath all that crap, he’s good guy. He wants to help people. … Read more
The Horrible Mistake which was Spider-man’s “UnMarrying…”
It was only a couple of years ago, but I remember it like it was a few seconds ago, with the comic still in my hand. And io9 had to remind me of it this morning as I did my morning vacation ritual of blog reading-coffee drinking-emailing. It was Amazing Spider-man. In the comic, the … Read more

We get to understand where a really big … Read more

Detective Rich Fell is shipped off to a really bad part of a city, nicknamed “Snowtown”. It is your basic urban hell, ran rampant with lawlessness and … Read more
Comics: Secret Invasion…
If you don’t read comics, then you have no idea this is going on. But there is a war happening. A Secret Invasion. And, man, is it awesome. The Secret Invasion is about the shape-shifting Skrulls. Apparently, they have taken over some key members of the super-hero community. The question is, who? Who is a … Read more
Comics: Planet Hulk
The Hulk is the type of character that shines when you remove him from the situation once in awhile. Planet Hulk is a prime example of this. The heroes shoot him into outer space. He lands on a planet and is forced to be a slave, to be a gladiator, to be a warrior and, … Read more
Comics: Pride of Baghdad
I love a good graphic novel. And I’d heard great things about Pride of Baghdad. I mean, how could you not want to read it? Lions escape the Baghdad Zoo during the American military assault of Baghdad. It’s just good reading. What I think writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Niko Henrichon do best in … Read more
