Movie Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA (2011).
Posted: August 30, 2011 in Action., Badass Old Guys, Comics, Movies (C), Pretty Girls, Superheroes, WarIn the modern superhero-movie gold rush, Captain America was always going to be one of the hardest comic book characters to adapt to screen. For one thing, his name is Captain America. That’s so unsubtle it sounds like a parody, and not a particularly timely one either. We’re already forty years [...]
Not That Into You, WATCHMEN.
Posted: June 28, 2011 in Action., Badass Old Guys, Comics, Little People, Movies (W), Owl Movies., Owls, Pretty Girls, Sci-Fi, SuperheroesThis review, for reasons quickly to become apparent, first appeared in 2009. I’m posting it now because my long-awaited Sucker Punch review is going up next. NOT THAT INTO YOU, WATCHMEN. Naw, I dug the Watchmen movie a fair amount, actually. I just saw the above mash-up title [He’s Just Not That Into You + [...]
A TRIBUTE: Gene Colan.
Posted: June 25, 2011 in Awesomeness, Comics, Superheroes, Tributes, VampiresGene Colan, without question one of the greatest comic book artists of all time, died this past Thursday at the age of 84. He was best known for his early work on Daredevil and Iron Man at Marvel Comics, and also his work on characters like Batman for DC Comics, but more than anything the work [...]
Here’s what I liked about Thor: They had to change up Thor’s costume. They couldn’t have gone with the winged helmet and the yellow hooker boots. But that giant robot thing? That’s the Destroyer. And if you look at the above pictures, you’ll see that it looks a whole lot like the way Jack [...]
My Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World review now exists! I don’t think it ruins anything. I just recommend that you see the movie — it’s fun! Well, I’m won over. I get it now. I admit, I was skeptical about this Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World thing. If you click through to this editorial, you will [...]
Old trick: Reel ‘em in with bright colors and pretty ladies, keep ‘em in with wit & panache. I hope you’re all following my Twitter which is just a steady stream of my thoughts and articles and who could live without that, but I’ve had a few articles up on Mapcidy recently that I’d like [...]

I’m posting this today because I need to reference it to make a point in an article I’m writing. To this day, there are still a couple good jokes and great absurd concepts in it, so I’m secretly proud of my younger self. Well, not so secretly because I just told you.
I was very happy to get to interview Justin Aclin about his comic book Hero House for my sporadic comic book column over at the Mapcidy site. His positive attitude is something I really appreciate, and I think that comes off totally in the interview we did. It’s pretty informative if you’re wondering what it’s [...]
