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, …

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 …
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 …
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.
374. Night Thrasher
I dunno a thing about this character. Skateboard! 90s!
372. Nick Fury, Jr.
This may be the one character I draw this month that I actively hate. Classic Nick Fury is awesome. Even Ultimate Nick Fury is awesome. Samuel L. Jackson as Movie Nick Fury is double plus awesome (I just listened to the 1984 audiobook). But holy crap is Nick Fury, Jr. a turd and a half. …
369. Black Panther
I’ve talked about my weird admiration of Black Panther before, I think. This also makes the 6th time I’ve drawn him for the blog. Anyhoo. If Marvel is reading, when you make the movie: A) Wakanda is a high-tech utopia & the most advanced civilization on Earth. No straw huts, loincloths or spears, please. B) …
367. War Machine
James “Rhodey” Rhodes. I just read his wikipedia page and now my head and heart hurt. Anyway, I think he’s now the Iron Patriot in the comics as well as the movies, but to me, he’ll always be War Machine. Mostly because that is also the name of the last good KISS song.
366. Luke Cage
So yeah. Hi. Thus begins Year Two of The Sketch-A-Day 2.0. February is going to be a theme month, coinciding with Black History Month. I am going to draw 27 black superheroes and 1 non-superhero. I was initially going to include black supervillains, but much like Marvel and DC, I am too afraid to present …
