It’s Memorial Day here in the United States, and that’s important context for Marvel’s latest SNAFU. And so even though there are other Marvel things to talk about, like X-Men: Apocalypse, which just came out, and #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend, which has produced both amusing and important discussion and fanart, I need to take today to write about…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Toy Companies, Lady Villains, and the MCU’s TV Problem
It’s Monday, which means it’s another Mighty Marvel Monday. We start off this week with a round up of the Marvel-icious content published on WWAC this past week. First up, Funko Fanatic Wendy Browne interviewed Funko Marketing Manager Hilary Gray about their Marvel Collector Corps boxes. I’m also proud to say that one of my…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Darwyn Cooke, #BlackPantherSoLIT, and more
Welcome back to another Mighty Marvel Monday! This week I have two big things to point to, and then a few smaller things to highlight. Firstly, it’s always sad when the comics community loses a beloved member, but it’s especially sad to lose someone like Darwyn Cooke, who was an amazing talent. And although most…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Civil War, Spider-Man, and Press Tour Round-Up
Captain America: Civil War finally had its North American release and my review embargo is over. So today, I’m giving you all the reviews and related goodies. First up–this fantastic article on WWAC about Natasha Stark from Marvel comics. In this universe, Steve and Tony (Natasha) were in love, and so Civil War didn’t happen….
Mighty Marvel Monday: It’s Gonna Be May
And we’re back for another Mighty Marvel Monday! Just as a reminder–this column will remain spoiler-free this week even though Captain America: Civil War has premiered internationally. My review should be out this Friday, and I’ll be linking to other reviews next week in a special Captain America: Civil War column. Also a reminder that…
The Return of Mighty Marvel Monday
Welcome back to another Mighty Marvel Monday! I apologize for taking an unannounced break last week, but life is sometimes unannounced, and you have to take time to deal with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I have returned, with many, many links for you. First up–good news! It feels like I never get to share good news…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Why Ta-Nehisi Coates Gives Me Hope for Comics
There’s been a few awesome announcements this week around Marvel, but all anyone is talking about is Black Panther #1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Selfreeze, so it probably isn’t a surprise that I’m going to write about it too. This isn’t a review of the comic so much as it is an encomium of…
Mighty Marvel Monday: The End of March Madness
Hey, friends. It’s been a bad week for me, but it hasn’t been a completely awful week for Marvel, so I suppose that’s something. Let’s start off with something interesting, shall we? Like these pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor during filming for Doctor Strange that were tweeted out. I still have many reservations…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Wondercon and More
It is the last Mighty Marvel Monday of March, Easter Monday, and also two days before my little sister’s birthday (Happy Birthday Vic!), so let’s get to it. This past weekend was Wondercon, which is basically the dry run for SDCC. We saw the new RFID badges that SDCC will be using this year, and…
Mighty Marvel Monday: C2E2, Daredevil, and More
Welcome back to another regularly scheduled Mighty Marvel Monday thanks to Marvel managing to not muck it up for another week! This week’s MMM is pretty short, but expect next week’s to be extra long, due to more articles on Daredevil and also my Wondercon coverage. If you’re going to be around, say hi! So…
Mighty Marvel Monday: All-New, All-Different Continuity
Friendly reminder that the second season of Daredevil will debut this Friday on Netflix. I am very grateful that it’s this weekend and not next weekend, since next weekend is Wondercon. As with Jessica Jones’ release, I’m anticipating linking the best articles I can find that can be written in 24 hours. Until then, I…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Make Mine Diverse, Marvel
It’s the first week of March, and this is a reminder that we only have to wait ten more days until season two of Daredevil is available on Netflix. The biggest Marvel news of the week is probably the rumor that due to the public outcry against the casting of Finn Jones as Iron Fist, Marvel…
