It seems that every few weeks thereâÂÂs a new animated feature at the movie theater. This is quite different from my youth, when only Disney made full-length cartoons (that were distributed in Ohio) and they took three to four years to produce. It seems that every television channel has at least some animated content, a…
Deadpool is a good superhero movie that people are going to convince themselves was an excellent superhero movie. It’s got a couple good action beats, it feels like a cohesive part of a larger universe without being overly constrained, it has a serviceable (and age appropriate) love story, and it’s clever… but not quite as…
In my uncertain early middle years, I occasionally said that it was impossible to know the history of comics without knowing the history of Twentieth Century America. This might have been simply a comment or it might have been an attempt to lend comics some cachet of respectability. If I meant it as a…
Right now I’m walking a fine line between “super-excited for the upcoming Deadpool movie,” and “so excited I will finally give in and read the leaked movie script;” but I’m still trying to resist!

V got the green light for a second season on ABC, and nobody is happier than series star MORENA BACCARIN. The leader of The Visitors shares her feelings on the show and her character in the first of a two part interview here, plus more happy/sad news from the TV Networks and DC has their…
