Yesterday I had a thought – which I do have on occasion. I have always considered myself a “socially conscious” comics writer. This means that, if you look over my body of work, you will notice that I have told stories that, in one way or another, reflect “real world” events and the consequences of…
God bless my friend Corinna Lawson. Or maybe not. Though she did nothing wrong, and she’s totally innocent in this. I was sitting here tonight wracking my brain while absentmindedly watching The Devil Wears Prada for the zillionth time (Meryl Streep just completely rocks as Miranda Priestley, a thinly veiled “version” of Anna Wintour of…
It’s finally for MAN OF STEEL to hit theaters and make it’s mark among super-hero films. We start our in depth look talking to Henry Cavill, Zack Snider and Amy Adams about just what the changes are to the Superman mythos. Plus SyFy‘s CONTINUUM hits a new season and we’ve got an exclusive preview with…
As Blondie says, “Dreaming is free.” Which is lucky for me, because I have a rather frantic week, and not a lot of original ideas for a column. Sure, I could write about the John Stewart scandal (or non-scandal, depending on which rumor you believe,), but I am late to that party. I could write…
Remember that time when Lois Lane dressed up as one of the most ridiculously named superheroines I’ve ever heard of on Smallville? And that superheroine was named “Stiletto” because at the time when she beat up a dude who was mugging Chloe, she happened to be wearing stilettos? And then she needed to find a…
Last week I wrote about Lois Lane (here) for the first time since 1986 and my mini-series âWhen It Rains, God Is Crying,â which was edited by ComicMixâs own Robert Greenberger. It got me to thinking about Lois. First, a little history on the mini-series, which was published in 1986. 1986 was the year that…
First, the good news. Scientists are prepared to say that, definitely, god exists. Now the bad. (He) (she) (it)…oh dang, there are really no appropriate pronouns for a concept that transcends the very idea of gender. Let’s settle for “they” and start again: They – the god thingies – are called “Higgs bosuns,” nicknamed “god…
Strong willed, intelligent, feisty, relentless, outspoken. You’d be speaking of Lois Lane or Pauley Perrette? Actually, both – which made the NCIS star the perfect match as the voice of the resourceful reporter for Superman vs. the Elite, the latest DC Comics Premiere Movie coming June 12 courtesy of Warner Home Video. Perrette’s raspy vocal…
The patron comic book of Monday Mix-Up has always been The Brave And The Bold, a comic book that delighted in mashing up weird combinations of characters, usually Batman with characters that made almost no sense to combine with, like Deadman, Kamandi, Jonah Hex, Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, Lois Lane, Scalphunter, the Legion of Super-Heroes,…
Not a dream! Not a hoax! Not an imaginary tale! It was this week in 1996 that Clark Kent and Lois Lane got married, an event comics fans had been anticipating for 60 years. Superman: The Wedding Album was published during the week of October 6, 1996, coinciding with an episode of the television series…
The staff at my regular comic shop wants to know what I think about the DC re-launch. I’ve been shopping there for decades, and I buy DC comics every time I go in there. I don’t only buy DC, but I buy almost everything they publish. That’s the way it’s been for me for more…
The final curtain came down on SMALLVILLE a few days ago and we spend a few last minutes with cast members Erica Durance, Justin Hartley & Cassidy Freeman on their thoughts about ending the show’s ten year run. Plus a number of other TV shows, including V, get cut off in their prime. Were you…
