The Messengers, the CW’s new show premiering April 17th, already had two strikes against it for me. The first strike was because I already watch a show on the CW about angels. It’s called Supernatural. The second strike was because I’m an atheist. I tend to lean more towards the agnostic end of the spectrum,…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Fashion Edition
It’s probably just post-con exhaustion talking, but Marvel seems to be relatively quiet this past week. Last weekend was Emerald City Comic Con, or ECCC, and this past weekend was WonderCon, where Marvel writers, artists, actors, and execs have been making the rounds and holding panels. I was planning on going to the Marvel panel…
Mighty Marvel Monday!
So first thing’s first– Happy Birthday to my baby sister Tori and her boyfriend Matt, who are turning 33 and 25 respectively, because it’s my column and I’ll shoutout if I want to. Now on to the Marvel news, prefaced with this disclaimer: There were amazing Marvel-icious things happening at Emerald City Comic Con this…
Awesome Webcomics of April: Staff Picks
Hotblood Toril Tuesdays & Thursdays at 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. NSFW The Wild West with centaurs. Need I say more? Ok, I will.

Mighty Marvel Monday
As a personal goal, I try to keep the tone of Mighty Marvel Monday in keeping with what I feel the tone of Marvel is itself–self-aware, slightly irreverent, but above all, fun. This week has not been fun for Marvel, nor has it been fun for supporters of Marvel, and I would not want to…
Mighty Marvel Monday!
It’s been a quiet week at Marvel. You know it’s quiet when a top story is the fact that there will be no smoking in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Okay, then. Actual News! I know we’re all exhausted about this Secret Wars thing, but it’s bring us not one but two all new female led…
Wonder Woman’s New Outfit: Crotch Flap and Confusion
Wonder Woman has a new outfit! A full coverage outfit! We ought to be happy about this, right? Getting her out of panties and into something more demure is what we want, right? Well… actually…
Mighty Marvel Monday!
Welcome back to another Mighty Marvel Monday! This week finds joy in all things MCU. I probably don’t have to tell you, but just in case–the third Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, that dropped on March 4th. No spoilers, but I’m happy to finally see some of the actual premise, and more characters. This was…
Cinderella Insurgent: Cool Movies of March!
Insurgent Robert Schwentke Summit Entertainment March 20, 2015 I can’t pretend that I think the second installment in the Divergent series is going to be a quality movie, but, well, I’m looking forward to it anyway. Divergent had all kinds of problems (um, what was the message of that movie anyway?), but I sat there…
5 Reasons You Should Be At STAPLE! Austin
It is not often that I wish I were in Texas. I drove across the state on my cross-country move from Atlanta to Los Angeles, and I swear I went through some kind of space-time vortex that doubled the pre-calculated time/distance. However, this weekend, I wish I were in Austin, Texas if only so I…
Mighty Marvel Monday: All About the Ladies
I have learned that the best part about writing Mighty Marvel Mondays is that I get to pick what to write about. And even though Marvel released the official Age of Ultron poster this past week, and released Faith No More’s Superhero on their website yesterday– I’m all about the women this week. Agent Carter…
