It’s Mighty Marvel Monday! It figures that right after I catch up with what’s going on with Marvel movies and TV, D23 happens, and there is more awesome to share. For those who are unaware, as I was up until about a month ago, D23 is Disney’s personal con, and this year it ran from Friday through…

CW Resurrects John Constantine for Cross-network Crossover Episode
Constantine lives! Kind of. Mark Pedowitz of the CW announced that Matt Ryan would be reprising Constantine for one episode on his network—but the real question is will he be sticking around? NBC hyped (potentially overhyped) Constantine, but after accusations of straightwashing the beloved bisexual icon garnered national news attention, NBC appeared to have second thoughts…
Mighty Marvel Monday: What’s Next?
This week feels strangely anti-climatic to me. Or maybe it’s just that I’m still processing Fantastic Four, and mourning the movie we could have had. In case you haven’t heard, the reviews say that Fantastic Four is unforgivably bad, and while it’s far from a perfect movie, I think those reviews are unduly harsh, and…
Four Hollywood Truisms Not to Take Away From the Fantastic Four
(Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for Fantastic Four) The reviews are in, and Fantastic Four is not good.

Mighty Marvel Monday: “Course Correcting”
It’s Mighty Marvel Monday!

Mighty Marvel Monday: A Long Goodbye for Matt Fraction and David Aja’s Hawkeye
Welcome to another edition of Mighty Marvel Monday! You know it’s been a slow newsweek when the top Marvel-related link is to George R. R. Martin’s Livejournal post, but I’m actually happy about this, because two Wednesdays ago, a very special comic was finally released, and because of GRRM, I’m able to devote this entire…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Post-SDCC Edition!
Mighty Marvel Monday: Post-SDCC Edition…which was supposed to be last week’s Mighty Marvel Monday, but I was traveling back from SDCC at the time, so here we are. Although I missed many Marvel-related things that were happening, I did get a chance to meet two of my favorite Marvel writers, Robbie Thompson and G. Willow…
Leia Organza: A Fashionable Celebration of the Quintessential Princess in Gown, Cape, and Jumpsuit
For many of us, the first princess we ever knew was the rebel leading, blaster shooting, badass Princess Leia from Star Wars. This is a legacy we strive to pass on to the next generation. I’d like to think that, after finding this in my nine year old’s homework, I’m doing a good job of…
