383. Bishop

383. Bishop

Bishop is probably the key component of the downfall of the X-Men books in the early 90s, even moreso than Cable. Not that he was a bad character, just representative of everything wrong with comics at the time – a character with a cool name, a big gun, mysterious and bad-ass. But nothing else. Eventually …

382. Blade

382. Blade

I went with Blade’s Tomb of Dracula look here, just ‘cuz. Don’t judge me. You can read my reviews for all four Blade movies here, here, here, and here. As for my review of the animated Dark Knight Returns that I watched last night, it’s right here: It was okay. When I first read DKR, …

381. Storm

381. Storm

Over the past two days, I have watched a couple of DC direct to DVD animated movies. I watched Flashpoint Paradox and War. And, pretty much everything that I dislike about the modern state of the DC Comic Universe is front and center on both of the movies. However, I also watched the Target exclusive …

380. Spider-Man

380. Spider-Man

The Ultimate/Miles Morales variety. Still a fine book, if not completely dragged down by Marvel not having any clue what to do with the Ultimate line of comics. Hopefully the upcoming relaunch helps stabilize some stuff. Last night, in my crushing loneliness, I was looking for a completely insane and gory horror movie in the …

Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day! I love it! I love myself! I love everything! Fuck.

378. Green Lantern

378. Green Lantern

I didn’t have time to ink this at all. Sorry. I’ve said it before, John Stewart is my 3rd favorite Lantern, behind Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner respectively. Hal Jordan, you’re damn near the bottom.

377. Static Shock

377. Static Shock

I never read any of the comics, but I did enjoy the cartoon quite a bit, and the couple cameos he made in the Justice League ‘toon. I’ve seen some movies. The Lego Movie was fantastic and I can’t recommend it enough. I don’t want to talk much about it because it should just be …

376. Black Goliath

376. Black Goliath

Only thing I know about this character was that he was Hank Pym’s assistant, and was also once known as Giant Man, or just Goliath. Also that his costume is ridiculous and I love it, but there was one that was even more ridiculous than this. And finally, that he was killed when Thor’s clone …

The Salon

The Salon

I wrote this last week and posted it on my other blog from Canada that you don’t know about and have never met. *** I’m losing my neighbor today. This is kind of a big deal. One year ago, my mom had spinal surgery to replace a disc in her neck. It was getting to …

375. Angel

375. Angel

The second Angel, from Grant Morrison’s run on X-Men, played by Zoe Kravitz in X-Men: First Class, and one of the weakest parts of an otherwise excellent movie.
