A few weeks ago I got an advance look at The Defenders in a small screening room with about 25 people. On Monday, I went to an IMAX showing of The Inhumans with an audience of several hundred. The environment…

Before I go into this week’s column, I wanted to acknowledge the passing of Carrie Fisher. Mere hours after my column went up last week it was reported that she had passed. It was truly tragic for her family, friends and legions of fans whom include myself. Rest in peace, Carrie Fisher. Last week I…

Today I’m going to diverge a bit from my usual spiel, but not by much. Oh, who the hell am I kidding? This is pretty much par for the course at this point. Last week millions of us bore witness to the Republican National Convention, a subsidiary of Trump. One of the points that was…
For this column, I have questions but no answers. I realize this is a form of slacking. As a weekly contributor to ComicMix, I’m supposed to have the authority and gravitas that justifies the esteem in which I’m held by my colleagues, as well as the salary I’m paid. No answers, no paycheck. Last week,…
JC: Alters is a passion project of yours that you’ve wanted to pursue for over a decade. Could you talk about the genesis of the project and how it’s changed since its original conception?

In the back of Wizard World’s Chicago convention program was a full page ad featuring Paul Jenkins. It read: This man is here to take your money! He is Paul Jenkins. Some call him a comic writer. You will call him "master." He is shooting pool at the Hero Initiative booth, #140. You can challenge…
My mama told me never to play pool against someone who brings his own cue. I shudder to think what she’d say about someone who brought his own pool table. Paul Jenkins (The Sentry, Wolverine, The Darkness) is shooting pool at the Hero Initiative booth (#140) at $30 a game, 8-ball or 9-ball. If you…
