The Dark Phoenix storyline is revered by creators and fans alike, yet twice now it has failed to work as a feature film. The main reason is because a two-hour film isn’t long enough to deal with the cosmic forces in play or the corruption of Jean Grey. Remember, the story effectively began in X-Men…

Damon Winter writes in the New York Times about the closing of the legendary St. Mark’s Comics in the East Village. On Sunday, after 36 years in business, the store finally closed for good. I’d been buying comic books there since it opened, when I was 7 years old, but I had never known Mitch’s…
Did we really need another DC Comics super-hero on television? That was pretty much the thought rattling in most minds when Fox first announced development of a series based on Black Lightning. When they passed on it, the CW snatched it up (of course), and ran the short first season starting in January. The answer…

After two seasons of relentlessly grim Arrow, we all welcomed Flash with open arms, rejoicing in its optimism and joy. Sure, there were some quibbles and wobbles, but it was still eminently entertaining with an appealing cast. Then came season three. I do not understand DC’s fixation with Flashpoint, a miniseries that really doesn’t hold…
“Use of the term ‘alt-left’ gained ground quickly online (according to Google TrendsÂÂÂ charts) when conservative Fox News hostÂÂÂ Sean HannityÂÂÂ used the term in aÂÂÂ debateÂÂÂ with BuzzFeed writer Rosie Gray over media coverage of the so-called ‘alt-right’.

This weekend finds the Unshaven lads amidst the fine folks adjacent to our hometown at the Anime Midwest convention at Rosemont’s always-lovely Donald E. Stephens Center. The show itself marks our fourth time attending. I’d be lying if I said this particular anime show was our top choice; Anime Central for all intents and purposes…
As I write this, the Senate vote on Trump’s health care plan has been postponed. One poll shows that only twelve percent of Americans support the Senate version of the bill. Personally, I think this is a good thing. Everything I’ve read about the bill, both the House and Senate versions, show that tens of…
Last week, the front page of The New York Times mourned the death of Roger Moore. Shockingly, they ran a photo from Live and Let Die showing the actor, as James Bond, in bed with Jane Seymour, right there on the front page. How fitting. But there’s a catch. While I’m a big James Bond…
I had an interesting conversation last Sunday night with Glenn Hauman, ComicMix’s Empirical Wizard. He was giving me a lift from Martha Thomases’ place to Grand Central Terminal following a remarkably productive yet still highly entertaining staff meeting – a rare gathering indeed, as this time it did not involve fried chicken. Hey, every business…
