Michael Davis: Confessions of An Uppity Negro, Chapter 1
I am lucky. I am a con man. I am a fraud. I am uppity. Let me explain…

The Law Is A Ass #438: Stu Went Looking For The Old Bailey
TV or, not TV, that is the question. The answer is TV. I know, I’ve spent the past five columns writing about a TV show and not comic books, and also four out of the five columns before that doing the same. But sometimes these TV shows are just asking for it. Like “By His…

Emily S. Whitten: San Diego Comic-Con Party Round Up 2018
It’s been universally accepted that San Diego Comic-Con is the place to be when it comes to elaborate comic-con parties, including a slew of more exclusive events. For no other genre convention do multiple news outlets make long, detailed lists of where to go for a (potentially) good time each evening. And while the party…

Glenn Hauman: Four Or Five Moments
Even when you thought you could get away from watching the news that was on every other channel by watching a rerun of Deadpool on FX, you couldn’t get away from the concept. Four or five moments – that’s all it takes to be a hero. Everyone thinks it’s a full-time job. Wake up a…

The Law Is A Ass #437: Green Arrow Joins The FB Aye-Yi-Yi
No, I didn’t lie. All I said I was that I finished with the Arrow episode “Docket No. 11-19-41-73.” I never said I was finished with Arrow. Now, all Arrow had to do for me to be finished with it was get through the last two episodes of the 6th season without any outrageous legal…

The Law Is A Ass #436: Is Green Arrow Not Guilty By Reason Of Inanity?
I’m sick of it! I’ve spent the past three weeks writing about the Arrow episode “Docket No. 11-19-41-73” and like Popeye said, “That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” No matter how long it takes, I’m going to finish with “Docket No. 11-19-41-73” today. Even if I have to write about it…

The Law Is A Ass #435: Green Arrow Adds Insult To Perjury
Suppose you were a lawyer. (Don’t worry, this is just a thought experiment. I wouldn’t wish that fate on my worst enemy; only on myself.) Suppose also, that you told your significant other you wouldn’t get married until you had established yourself as a lawyer. Suppose further that you couldn’t establish yourself as a lawyer,…

The Law Is A Ass #434: Green Arrow’s Prosecutor Is Trying My Patience
If, as it has been said, a fish rots from the head down, then Team Arrow, from The CW’s Arrow, must be a twenty ton whale shark that’s decomposing from the head, Oliver (Green Arrow) Queen, down through the rotting body that is Green Arrow’s support group, Team Arrow. Why I call them rotten is…

The Law Is A Ass #433: Green Arrow Wants Me To Trial Little Tenderness
I think I’m losing all respect for Oliver (The Green Arrow) Queen. And considering when the TV series Arrow started he was a stone killer except he killed people not stones, I didn’t have very much respect for him to begin with. We’re talking about the Arrow episode “Docket No. 11-19-41-73.” Keep those numbers handy;…

Michael Davis: The Truth About Harlan Ellison And The Lie He Told Us All
Note number 1: I wrote this first part in 2014. What’s below took me two weeks as I’ve been battling depression blah blah blah blah poor me etc. Twenty minutes after I first met Harlan Ellison he handed me a signed blank check. I’ll get back to that. I found out what kind of friend…

The Law Is A Ass #432: Things Aren’t Impeachy Keen with Green Arrow
A wise man once said “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Usually in summer school.” No, it wasn’t George Santayana. It was me; I lied about the wise part. But whoever said it, the sentiment is true, so it would behoove Oliver Queen not to start planning that Disneyland…
