Martha Thomases: Superhero Summer Love
Summertime summertime sum-sum-summertime. Long days. Sultry nights. Summer is hot. Literally. We are very aware of our bodies, and the bodies of those around us. We wear <a href=” lighter clothes. We wear sunglasses and/or glamorous hats. Love is in the air, or at least lust. Naturally, I asked myself, âÃÂÃÂWhat do superheroes do about…

Martha Thomases: King Arthur, Lois Lane and Gefilte Fish, Oh My!
Diversity is in the news! Warner Bros. spent an estimated $145 million on a movie about King Arthur, directed by Guy Ritchie, hoping to have a new tentpole hit like his Sherlock Holmes films. Instead, the movie opened in third place, far behind Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which had already been out for two…

Michael Davis: “I don’t grab pussy. It grabs me.”
I was so stunned by the election I just couldn’t bring myself to write a damn thing for the last few weeks. Hell, in the case of Bleeding Cool it’s been months that I blame on my depression and trying to figure out how to fix a problem no one sees yet but with depression…

Dennis O’Neil: Superman – What Do We Really Know?
“Someone has just thrown Lois Lane from an airplane and she’s plummeting Earthward. But today is Humtyglumf Day, the most sacred day in the Kryptonian calendar – a day on which it is absolutely forbidden to rescue falling females. But if I do nothing, in about a nanosecond Lois will squish…” Full disclosure: I don’t…

Mindy Newell: Denver, Stormtroopers, and Farts
So as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by fellow columnist Emily S. Whitten calls “Convention Crud” and I called, last week, “Airplane Adenovirus”… I had an ABFAB time at the Denver Comic Con 2016! That’s “Absolutely Fabulous” for those of you too young to remember the BBC show. Overseen by the…

Molly Jackson: Editing Strength!
I’ve beaten back the technological revolt happening in my apartment! It’s a time for celebration and joy. So two days ago, I saw the Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition at a special event in theaters. On purpose. Seriously. I purposefully dragged my fellow ComicMix columnist Joe Corallo because I couldn’t suffer through it a second…

Michael Davis: Back In The Day
Back in the days of “I am Curious Black,” a 1970 Lois Lane story about Lois using a machine to become a black woman; she does so to see what it was like to be black. Back then the good folks at DC did not think twice about a black artist or writer. Now, if…

Box Office Democracy: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
ItâÂÂs easy to kick a studio while theyâÂÂre down, and a little of that seems to be happening with the reactions to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Warner Bros. has struggled mightily in bringing their heroes to the screen in recent years (recent decades if we donâÂÂt count Christopher NolanâÂÂs work) and thereâÂÂs an…

Review: BvS Is A Four-Letter Word
Did you ever endure some sort of traumatic injury knowing full well that a minute or two after the moment of disaster it was going to hurt a hell of a lot worse? ThatâÂÂs how I felt after seeing Batman v Superman. Bright-eyed fanboy that I am, I walked into the theater with the highest…

VFK: Greg Pak On Telling THE TRUTH
Things in the DC Universe are upside down with the world knowing who Clark Kent really is, Lois Lane behind that big reveal and even a new player in the Batman costume. “Truth” is a multi-title story overseen by Greg Pak who talks to VOICES OF KRYPTON on just how far these changes will go,…

Martha Thomases: Wonder Woman, Goddess of What?
Hera help me, but I think I have to write about Wonder Woman again. I know, I know. I already wrote about the new team of Marilyn and David Finch in which I said “She is supposed to be strong and independent and a peaceful warrior, not armored eye candy.” The second issue wasn’t much…
