Marvel Studios is currently hosting a liveblogged event to announce… Well, something. Guesses thus far include: a Captain Marvel movie, Spider-Man joining the Avengers, Black Panther, or something as mundane as confirming Benderwaht Cummberbund as Doctor Strange. Personally, I’m holding out for a Howard the Duck reboot. Updates as they happen! 2:15pm…

Whoops Pie & Chips: There Is No “Wrong” In Your Kitchen (gifs)
This is not an immaculate recipe. This is not a gorgeous pie. Look, presents are great. I am highly in favour of them. But, every day, once a day, give yourself a break. You don’t have to do things perfectly! You don’t have to cook like a pro. If you want to learn how to…
If You Like…American Horror Story Freak Show
Halloween is right around the corner so what better time is there for American Horror Story to roll out their new season. Previous seasons have taken the viewer deep inside a haunted house, an insane asylum, and a witches coven. Now the curtain rises on a 1950s freak show. Though I am a giant chicken…
VIDEO GAMES VS COMICS: The New York Times Plays Dice With Fate (gifs)
If [GamerGate] continues, the medium I love could go backward into its roots as a pastime for children. Instead of being a mainstream form of entertainment, it could end up being something like comic books, a medium that has never outgrown its reputation for power fantasies and is only very occasionally marked by transcendent work (“Maus,”…

Scariest Movie of My Life: Event Horizon
I will be the very first to admit that when it comes to slowly building tension, dimly-lit hallways, and ominous music rooted in an ever-increasing progression of minor chords, I am a wimp. I don’t like scary movies, and never have. As a child, I was so terrified by my older sister’s description of The…

Short & Sweet: Fantastical Lands & Abilities
A Voice in the Dark Larime Taylor (w & a) Top Cow This one doesn’t sound like my cup of tea, but the reason I felt compelled to try it is that Larime Taylor, the mind behind A Voice In The Dark, is disabled and drew the entire comic with. His. Mouth. The art is…
