Doom Academy to Supplement One World Under Doom

New York, NY— October 20, 2024 — Starting in February,ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM overtakes the Marvel Universe, and the first of its many tie-in series was just announced at the Women of Marvel Panel at New York Comic Con: DOOM ACADEMY!

DOOM ACADEMY will be a five-issue limited series written by author Mackenzie Cadenhead (Marvel Mutts) and drawn by Pasqual Ferry (Doctor Strange) that sees Doctor Strange’s school for young sorcerers transformed in accordance with Doom’s rule! The students of Strange Academy were instrumental in Doom’s bold reach for power in Blood Hunt, and now that he has the entire world under his mighty thumb, his influence on these breakout young Marvel heroes truly begins.

Did you think that Strange Academy would be the same in the world with Doctor Doom as Sorcerer Supreme?! NO! It is now DOOM ACADEMY! Relocated from New Orleans to Latveria, the best magic school in the world just got better (according to some). It’s the start of the second year for Strange Academy students, and you know that things will not go as planned!

“It was really fun to go through old Doom stories and pick out some random characters that exist in that world and find someone or someone’s kid who might be attending Doom Academy,” Cadenhead shared. “And because the school doesn’t exist, we got to really play with stuff. Pasqual is having a great time coming up with beautiful locales.”

DOOM ACADEMY will also feature sequences by artist João Lemos.

“In this story, Zoe ends up falling into a strange world that her friends have to help her escape from,” Cadenhead explained. “We have another artist come in to illustrate this world. João Lemos’ research on Eastern European folklore and fairytales is astounding.”

Announced earlier this week, ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM is an overarching status quo shift coming to Marvel Comics, the likes of which haven’t been seen since 2008’s Dark Reign. Spinning out of Blood Hunt where Doctor Doom manipulated Doctor Strange into passing him the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM sees Doom accomplish his ultimate goal as he uses his new power to take over the entire world. It’s a shocking and upending turn of events that will impact Marvel’s entire line of comics and see the launch of tie-in series and one-shots, collectively forming an era worthy of comic books’ greatest supervillain!

REVIEW: Captain Planet: The Complete Franchise

Conceived by Barbara Pyle and media mogul Ted Turner, Captain Planet was an ecological hero way ahead of his time. The animated series ran for years with some nifty design work by Neal Adams and his Continuity Associates. Each episode featured an adventure and a lesson (of course). It endeared itself to a generation of viewers and remained an enduring figure from the 1990s.

Now, Warner Home Entertainment has released Captain Planet the Complete Franchise, with 41 hours and 31 minutes of environmental goodness. For silly legal reasons, the show has two titles evenly split among its six seasons: Captain Planet and the Planeteers (animated by DIC) and The New Adventures of Captain Planet (animated by Hanna-Barbera) for the final three seasons.

Gaia, the spirit of Earth, was voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, who set the tone and standard for the entire series. She was accompanied by a voice cast that included Margot Kidder (who replaced Goldberg in season four), Meg Ryan, Martin Sheen, Jeff Goldblum, LeVar Burton, Ed Asner, and Dean Stockwell.

As Gaia awakens after far too long, she is unhappy with the shape of Earth and sets about to repair things, with the help of teens drawn from the continents, granting each power — earth, fire, wind, water, and heart — to help save the world. United, they summon forth Captain Planet (David Coburn). The excellent captain can be felled by pollution and similar harmful environmental factors. Our teen heroes —Gi (Janice Kawaye), Kwame (LeVar Burton), Linka (Kath Soucie), Ma-Ti (Scott Menville), and Wheeler (Joey Dedio) — respond to Gaia’s alerts via their solar-powered Geo-Cruiser.

Their recurring foes include Hoggish Greedly (Ed Asner), Hoggish Greedly Jr. (Charlie Schlatter), Rigger (John Ratzenberger), Verminous Skumm (Jeff Goldblum/Maurice LaMarche), Duke Nukem (Dean Stockwell/Maurice LaMarche), Leadsuit (voiced by Frank Welker), Dr. Barbara “Babs” Blight (Meg Ryan/Mary Kay Bergman), MAL (David Rappaport/Tim Curry),  Looten Plunder (James Coburn/Ed Gilbert), Argos Bleak (Scott Bullock), the Pinehead Brothers (Dick Gautier and Frank Welker), Sly Sludge (Martin Sheen/Jim Cummings), Ooze (Cam Clarke), Tank Flusher III (Frank Welker), Zarm (Sting/David Warner/Malcolm McDowell), and of course, the good captain’s evil twin, Captain Pollution (David Coburn).

The DIC episodes were very much formula, and when H-B took over, backstories and more depth were added throughout, making for a more enjoyable viewing experience. Still, there were many times the themes were heavy-handed, making them feel like an “eat your spinach” experience.

It did spawn The Captain Planet Foundation in 1991, as Pyle donated a percentage of the show’s merchandising revenue to do some actual real-world good. It ran a decade until new parent company TimeWarner shit it down. After the disastrous AOL merger, the foundation was resurrected in 2007 and continues to do good work.

The series looks fine on DVD, reproduces the original animation well, and offers Dolby Digital audio. Little expense was spent on cleaning and unifying everything, although the entire package is a lavish one. Not a single special feature has been included.

REVIEW: The West Wing: The Complete Series

Okay, I get it. The West Wing is a fantasy. But it’s not just a liberal fantasy television series. It is a series that celebrated patriotic Americans who all thought they were working to create a better country. The staffers in the west wing of the White House and their president strove to bring their best efforts, and as we watch, we see them try and fail, we see them try and succeed, and we see them try and not get everything they wanted. There was no breast-beating or pouting on national television.

The 1999-2006 series celebrated patriotism and intelligence, two things lacking from way too many elected officials today, making us long for the Bartlet Administration. Long overdue, Warner Home Entertainment has chosen the show’s 25th anniversary to finally release The West Wing: The Complete Series on Blu-ray.

Created by Aaron Sorkin, using leftover material from his entertaining The American President, he created a rich, varied cast of characters. With producer/director Thomas Schlamme, they cast one of the finest ensembles you could hope to find on American prime time television. They oversaw the first four seasons before burnout and drug problems led Sorkin to step aside, with Schlamme with him. The fifth season saw Executive Produce John Wells step in, and it was an uneven season, but it found its footing. Seasons six and seven introduced fresh characters as the next election loomed, and it found new energy, ending on a high note.

Even its weakest episodes were stronger than most of its network competition, rivaling the upcoming Golden Age of cable as it competed with series like The Sopranos. We saw the struggles to run a country each week, along with their horrible work/life balance. Their little personal time often involved attempts at romance, which gave rise to many wonderful relationships.

We also learned a lot about how the government works and issues large and small. Sorkin would have people bring him the boring, and he somehow would have it turned into fascinating badinage and debate.

The show has endured, not just through cable and now streaming accessibility. Still, it spawned the first series rewatch podcast, The West Wing Weekly, and has spawned numerous mini-reunions for good causes (most recently, on the Emmy Awards). The show’s enduring nature and its influence over many worthy causes were also celebrated in What’s Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service, written by two of its stars, Melissa Fitzgerlad and Mary McCormack.

The 156 episodes, across 28 discs, carry over the 20+ commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, unaired scenes, gag reels, and more from the DVD editions. The 1080p transfers are sharp and clear, with a fine DTS-HD MA audio track. Alas, only English captions are available, which I think is a missed opportunity, as there was a lack of anything new to celebrate 25 years (the live recreation of an episode done as a Democratic fundraiser would have been welcome). The plastic cases cram the discs in place and can be easily dislodged, which is another shame.

Superman Isn’t Jewish (But I An…Kinda) by Jimmy Bemon and Émilie Boudet

With supposedly-nonfiction books, I’ll focus tightly while reading on how true they are, looking for any crack in the verisimilitude that might imply some fiction has made its way into the mix. I think that’s pretty common: we want to know what kind of stories we’re being told, how constructed they are, to know how to respond.

But it’s not always clear how much the book is claiming to be nonfiction. This graphic novel – or bande dessinée, since it’s originally from France – is in the “Life Drawn” series from Humanoids, which I thought meant it was clearly, well, drawn from life. But I just took a look at their website, and the series is described as “Biographies and slice-of-life tales that show us what it means to be human” – and, more specifically, Wander Antunes’s adaptation of Twain’s short story Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg , which I read recently, is also included in the program. So my assumption that of course anything published as “Life Drawn” would be nonfiction has been proven to be inoperative.

In other words: this is probably close to true, more or less. But only…kinda.

Superman Isn’t Jewish (But I Am…Kinda)  is a coming-of-age story told in the first person by a French boy, Benjamin, and covers mostly his youth in the late eighties and early nineties, in a large extended family with a (now-divorced) Jewish father and Catholic mother. It was written by the film director and screenwriter Jimmy Bemon and drawn by Émilie Boudet, first published in France in 2014 (when Bemon also made a related short film with the same name) and translated by Nanette McGuiness for this 2018 English-language edition.

Jimmy is immersed in Jewish culture and history by his father’s side of the family, encouraged to believe himself part of a long, storied cultural tradition stretching back five thousand years, one of the chosen people. And he’s happy with that part.

But being Jewish also meant that he was circumcised at birth – which is vastly less common in France than it is in the US, something Bemon didn’t need to point out to his original audience but might make his histrionics come across weirdly to American readers – and so he is Different From Other Boys.

There are other issues as he grows up – undertones of how much “Jewish” means “Zionist” to a bunch of schoolboys, some of whom are Arabic, things like that – but the chopped willy is the big one. Benjamin is worried that, when he ever gets together with a girl, she will point and laugh, and then tell everyone else.

Superman Isn’t Jewish is relatively short and conversational, like a film driven by a single narrative voice. We don’t see a whole lot of Benjamin’s young life: just what matters to his possibly-Jewish identity. He has classes with a rabbi, and celebrates his bar mitzvah. There’s a moment where he’s pulled in to be the tenth man for a minyan. But he doesn’t quite feel Jewish, and eventually works up the courage to tell his father that. This is a mostly amiable, positive book, so that goes OK in the end.

I do wonder a bit how much of Jimmy is in Benjamin, and what there is of Jimmy that didn’t make it into Benjamin. But that’s the inherent question of semi-autobiographical fiction, isn’t it? In the end, this is a nice story about a good kid who figured out how he wanted to live and found happiness, in bright colored pencils and big faces from Boudet’s art – that’s a fine thing to have.

REVIEW: Friends: The Complete Series 4K Blu-ray

In spring 1994, I was reading a series of articles in The New York Times about pilots for the forthcoming TV series, and they profiled a series featuring six twnetysomethings trying to adjust to adulthood. It sounded promising so my wife and I sampled the NBC series the following September.

And Friends has been running somewhere on television ever since. It is now 30 years old and to celebrate, Warner Home Entertainment recently released Friends: The Complete Series, debuting on 4k Ultra HD for the first time. Every episode is included along with a variety of bonus features making this an ideal addition to your video library.

What’s interesting about the series today is how it has endured despite aspects no longer appearing as fresh. The creators, David Crane and Marta Kauffman, cleverly found six types that could bounce off one another with heart and humor. With director James Burrows handling the pilot, all the elements from the first episode were there and remained in place for the next decade.

Largely set in two adjacent apartments in Manhattan, and their favorite coffeeshop, the six worked to live with running gags about their jobs (or not having jobs). They never seemed to worry about paying the rent or utilities, so their struggles were more about relationships—finding them or keeping them. They loved and lost, laughed and cried, and turned to one another for support. Over the course of ten seasons, we saw two couples form, one long-simmering and filled with pathos, while the other unexpected and funny. By the time they turned the lights out in an hour-long finale, they had become part of the national dialogue.

The show endures because the character relationships feel real and their affection for one another is evident from when Monica’s friend Rachel turns up in her wedding dress, having run away from her wedding and is immediately adopted by the others.

Wisley, the showrunners, plotted out the character arcs for each season well before writing and filming began, serving the characters first, then the gags. This may be one of the reasons why it is among the series I continually find my high schoolers watching via streaming.

The series has 23 triple-layered 4K discs and two dual-layered Blu-rays for the special features. They’re tidily packaged in a nice plastic case that fits snugly on the shelf. The 2160p transfers, framed at 1.78:1, look just fine, and as you remember, the series back in the CRT days. That said, the color is oddly saturated throughout and look just a wee bit off, enough to nag at veteran fans.

The 4K discs come complete with a fine DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio, serving the dialogue and music just swell.

The Special Features are mostly taken from previous Blu-ray and DVD editions of the seasons such as the audio commentaries with executive producers Kevin S. Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane.

On the first bonus disc, we get a new Friends: Through the Peephole (15:18), hosted by Warner Bros. archivist Matt Truex, examining some of the 2,000 props and costumes. There is also the less interesting trivia contest How Well Do You Know Your Friends? (6:37).

Each season carries over the other Blu-ray extras such as trailers, music videos, shorts spotlighting the series’ international appeal and other topics.

The second disc contains extras imported from seasons 6-10, so we have gag reels, Gunther’s chats about each subsequent season, and various Friends appearances on talk shows plus the Extended Broadcast Episodes – “The One Where Rosita Dies,” “The One Where They All Turn Thirty,” “The One with Joey’s New Brain” and “The One with the Truth About London.”

I suppose the Max reunion special should be here, but it isn’t, which is a shame. Overall, though, it’s nice to have the entire series in one place, so you can watch at your leisure and not worry about the show vanishing from your favorite streaming service or cable channel. As promised in the catchy title song, one of the last to chart on top 40 radio, they’ll be there for you.

Black Is the Color by Julia Gfrörer

black20is20the20color-3583847

I often find I’m thinking about or focused on the wrong things in the books I’m reading – that I need to specifically tell myself to ignore something so I can move on.

For example in Julia Gfrörer’s short, dark, creepy 2013 graphic novel Black Is the Color , the story opens on a wooden ship, far out in the ocean, several hundred years ago. One of the leaders – not the captain, maybe the first mate or owner – tells two sailors that they are, unfortunately, running lower on provisions than expected. So he’s going to kick the two of them off the ship, into a small open boat, to die in the middle of the sea.

And my first thought was: was that a thing? I’ve heard of crews going on half-rations, or even less – stretching their food farther and farther. And I know that a merchant ship, which this one appears to be, had a small, tight crew to begin with – especially compared to a warship, which would be swarming with gunhands and marines and others. So it didn’t quite make sense that they could or would just kill two of a very limited crew at the first sign of trouble.

But that’s how Gfrörer gets to the story she wants to tell: this is about two men, in that open boat, and what happens to them. So the setup almost doesn’t matter: it’s plausible, it’s quick, it gets them out there, under a baking sun, with no food or water.

And then the mermaids come out to investigate.

Black is the story of one of those two men: Warren. He lasts longer. He’s…befriended? made a pet? visited? by a mermaid, Eulalia. We see him alone in the boat, slowly dying. We see him with her, being comforted or having sex or being a new object of interest. We see her down in the depths, among her people, callous and self-centered and flighty. We see that she and all her people view humans as amusing distractions, as entertainment – interesting in the moment, maybe, but nothing more important or significant than that.

Gfrörer’s art is detailed and organic, her lines dark black and usually thin, her borders in this six-panel grid just slightly irregular, her people with sharp defined faces, her seas a mass of lines rippling and undulating, endlessly. This is a book that’s black in multiple ways: story, theme, characters, often visually. Black is the color here.

Elektra Earns Red-Banded Mini-Series

New York, NY— September 18, 2024 — Elektra’s the deadliest assassin in the Marvel Universe, and this January, her vicious talents will be on full display in DAREDEVIL: UNLEASH HELL – RED BAND! The five-issue limited series will be written by Erica Schultz, continuing her work on the character after hit titles like Daredevil: Gang War and Daredevil: Woman Without Fear. Joining her on this blood-soaked saga will be artist Valentina Pinti (BladeImmortal Thor).

DAREDEVIL: UNLEASH HELL – RED BAND is the latest Marvel Red Band comic series, following the likes of Blood HuntBlade: Red BandWerewolf by Night, and Wolverine: Revenge. Labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged to keep those faint of heart for experiencing its intensity, the series allows Elektra to unleash unrestricted bloodshed against her targets as she continues to protect the streets of Hell’s Kitchen as the Woman Without Fear!

MURDER IS AN ART!                                                                

The violence and the occult swirling across the Marvel Universe find their way to Hell’s Kitchen! As grisly crime scenes start manifesting across the city, all signs point to an impossible perpetrator! Estranged from Matt Murdock, it’s up to Elektra to get to the grisly truth, if she can stomach it!

“It’s been such a pleasure to continue writing Elektra, especially donning the horns,” Schultz shared. “In this new series, we have the opportunity to show that just because she doesn’t kill doesn’t mean she won’t make you wish she had. Elektra has been known for her brutality, and we’ll see that on display here. Also, with a Red Band rating, that means we can get real nasty with stuff. Don’t know what I mean? You will. Valentina Pinti and I are very excited to show you this new direction.”
