I don’t care what you say, 2020 could have been worse. Want proof? Marvel’s Civil War II didn’t come out in 2020, now did it? Ah, Civil War II, the gift that kept on giving, even after we had taken it to the return window. It continued to haunt us in Ms. Marvel Vol 4…
I don’t know if superhero conflicts are required to be based on the stupidest possible interpretation of premises, but it certainly seems that way. Subtlety or nuance don’t exist in superhero universes; in a world where people can punch each other through brick walls, that’s the only way to do anything. Ms.Marvel Vol. 6: Civil War…
Iâve never lied to you. Last time I said I had no more Civil War II columns and here I am writing about Jessica Jones #6 and things that wouldnât have happened without Civil War II happening. But writing about things that happened after Civil War II ended is not a Civil War II column….
JESSICA JONES RECONSTRUCTS THE CRIME Well, I can’t put it off any longer no matter how hard I try. And believe me, I’ve tried. The last time I started a column with those words we were engaged in a not-so-great Civil War. It’s how I began my multi-column series on Marvel’s Civil War II. Today we…
HAWKEYE’S TRIAL IS OFF THE MARKS, MAN When is a murder not a murder? Give up? What say we find out. It all started with Ulysses Cain. You remember Ulysses Cain, don’t you? Inhuman who can predict the future and caused the whole Civil War II imbroglio when Captain Marvel and Iron Man disagreed over how he should…
“Bob, we need to talk.” Those are normally not words I dread. I like a good conversation as well as the next guy and a good deal better, if the next guy happens to be Calvin Coolidge. But, as I studied the room full of people in front of me — family, friends, even editors…
The Law Is A Ass Installment # 401 Despite Marvel’s claims about Captain Marvel being a human-Kree hybrid, she must really be an X-Man… because she certainly x-acerbated the whole Ulysses Cain problem. Civil War II is a series about said the Inhuman Ulysses Cain and the problems he caused for the Marvel Universe. Ulysses, you see, was…
IRON MAN FAILS AT BEING CIVIL Well, I can’t put it off any longer no matter how hard I try. And believe me, I’ve tried. Since June of last year I’ve tried. But starting this series of columns – finally starting it – was one of my New Year’s resolutions and I’m writing this on…
In the past, many writers on this site, myself included, have written columns shining a light on the abused state of minority characters at the Big Two. While I agree with everything said, I think that we have left out the very important point of creating new characters. For the past decade or so, it’s…
Holy crap! I canât believe this! Marvelâs next big event series is going to be a sequel to their hit event series Civil War. Itâs called ⦠wait for it ⦠Civil War II! Youâd think there was a big budget movie or something coming out. Well, youâd be wrong. Civil War II comes out…
So I had written this week’s column about Marvel’s next big event, Civil War II, and how they’re going to be killing off a major character. I wrote about how it’s unoriginal, uninspiring, and how I wish we could do better. I was even planning on titling it “Civil Disobedience.” Really clever stuff. Then I…
