X-Men has, for too long, been floundering as a franchise. By my highly subjective opinion, since near the beginning of the Chuck Austen era, though I’ve found that many, many people hated the Grant Morrison run, which I find … odd. The franchise has been at war with wanting to forge ahead and create new…
After X-Men: Apocalypse, the main lineage of X-Men movies seems to be waning. Supernova (or whatever the title ends up being) could resurrect interest in the franchise, or it could retread water and end up a moderately better version of The Last Stand. Whatever it ends up being, it needs to not be three hours…
It’s a ghost town here. So have some drawings of literal superheroes, something I’ve been doing in my downtime. It’s what it sounds like: taking the name of the hero to the logical extreme: It all started with a bored literal Spider-Man, almost taking Doppelganger too far: Then it snowballed from there ……
… so join me and others demanding a sequel, including the publishers of “2000 A.D.” Because seriously, “Dredd” was amazing.
Doom DeLuise and I were talking the other night about the fact that Kevin Bacon is the new X-Men villain. After running down a (short) list, we settled on Mr. Sinister. This was not exactly a tacit endorsement. You see, the best reasoning we could trace back was to a particularly bad piece of cinema…
Not in the “right” kind of creative for Doomkopf at this moment, but we might as well let our faithful readers get a sneak peek at the cover of an upcoming Entertainment Weekly. Lookin’ alright so far.
It takes a lot of work to make a comic. But how much more work is it to make yourself into the comic, warts and all? That’s the career Harvey Pekar had – a filing clerk and friend of Robert Crumb’s who took his day-to-day life and turned himself into the non-hero of American Splendor,…
Cross posted from my Tumblr Halloween, 1993. I’m nine-years-old, and hopelessly addicted to the X-Men. Yes, little has changed. But I decided that year that the best idea ever is to make my own X-Men costume. For some reason, at this time, there weren’t any or many cheap vinyl X-Men costumes at Wal-Mart or ShopKo….
Over the last decade, Chris Claremont’s track record at Marvel has been poor. Heck, since leaving X-Men in 1991, his comic writing in general has been poor. Two words: Sovereign Seven. So when I heard about X-Men Forever, where-in Claremont is going back and rebooting the X-Men as if nothing had changed since he left…
MG Doom recently made a very valid point that it’s hard to wade through the thousands of web comics to find a few gems. But I’ve also covered my love of xkcd here previously. So, dear readers, you may be wondering “What should I read?” Well, here’s the unqualified opinion of somebody who owns all…
