Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… Please? The weather oracles out here say that we can expect some sleet mixed with tonight’s rain and if that happens, if we’re blessed with the “wintry mix,” we should cherish it because we may not see it again, not this year. Mighty hot winter. I…
I loved it. Melissa Benoist, whom I first saw on Glee, packed up her beautiful singing voice to play Kara Danvers, nee Kara Zor-el, bears no blame for the general snorrrrre that is the hallmark of the show. Neither do any of the following: Chyler Leigh as kick-ass secret government agent-who-also-happens-to-be-Kara’s-Earth born sister, Alex; Mehcad…
A couple weeks ago, Jessica Jones premiered with much fanfare. The internet vomited up so much detail about the character you would have thought Alias had been Marvel’s biggest selling book since Amazing Spider-Man. Fans are tripping over themselves to talk about Jessica and her abusive relationship with Kilgrave. But another, more disturbing line of…
Last month we said goodbye to the great comics artist, Murphy Anderson. He had such a body of work, and given his impressive talents, itâs not surprising that he was working as a professional comics artist over six decades. My gorgeous wife, Kathe, had come to love Murphy too. She was so impressed with the…
For rent: Secret laboratory. Ideal for mad scientists, superheroes and their posses. Now, about those posses: time was when superheroes operated pretty much alone, or with a sidekick, who could be anyone from the original Green Lantern’s cab driving Doiby Dickles to Batman’s intrepid though preadolescent Robin. Oh, there were other continuing characters in your…
Supergirl premiered on CBS Monday night setting a Fall series record of 14 million viewers. It was an undeniable teen hit with both boys and girls. And of course we watched it too. But as critical fans of all things being superhero-y while female, did we enjoy it? Duh. But was her costume Tweeks Approved…
I hate being bored, so over the years Iâve managed to shorten my attention span to the point when the good stuff runs out, so do I. Therefore, from time to time I have a little to say about a lot of things. For example: DC / Warner Bros finally gave credit where credit has…
Outside my window summer is melting away and when it’s finally gone, what will be uncovered? Well, cold weather for one thing – I think we’re on pretty firm ground there – and if the weather pundits are right, it’ll be damn cold weather. Which will make it a match for that melting summer, a…

Cozy down on your couch and wait for it: A Supergirl series coming soon – well, in the fall – to a television set near you. And a new superhero on The Flash and what looks like some supering up of already existing character or characters on Arrow and and and… I’ll bet the corridors…
Superman: C’mon, Kara…don’t give up. You’ll make it. Pl…please…please stay with us. Supergirl: I can’t. B…But’s it’s okay…I knew what I was doing…I wanted…wanted you to be safe.

As we are assuredly living in the golden age of superhero TV, it was a clean jab to the jaw to watch the trailer for the forthcoming CBS Supergirl show. In only six and one-half minutes, my optimism – once high and mighty – was sucker-punched and left waning in the gutter. Flash and Arrow…
