Hello and welcome back to another Mighty Marvel Monday! Lots of stuff to talk about this week, but first– IT’S JESSICA JONES WEEK!!! That’s right. The full Jessica Jones series will be released by Netflix this Friday, and I could not be more excited. And just in case you missed it, here’s the final trailer:…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Queer Ladies, Aliens, and Zombies, Oh My!
It’s November, which means my countdown to Jessica Jones officially starts now. (18 days, and counting…) Before I get started, I went to shout my appreciation for comics twitter, because the top two stories for Mighty Marvel Monday this week aren’t mentioned in my Google Alert notifications. And if there’s a Marvel story that you…
Mighty Marvel Monday: NYCC Edition
…and we’re back with an All New Mighty Marvel Monday: NYCC Edition! Before I get started, Happy Thanksgiving to my beloved Canadians, and Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, and eight other cities across America. In honor of these two events, one reminding us to not only be thankful but to…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Ms. Marvel and More
Welcome back for another edition of Mighty Marvel Monday! It’s a short and sweet link dump this week. Our largely positive review of Secret Wars: Secret Love #1 can be found here. Marvel took away two Hugos this weekend, one for Guardians of the Galaxy as Best Dramatic Presentation – Long, and one for G….
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…
Polyvore Challenge: Let’s Play Dress-up with Emma Frost
As Claire recently pointed out in this piece, Emma Frost’s wardrobe is in serious need of an update. Clearly, the White Queen still rocks white like few others, but the lingerie and lingerie-influenced outfits of her Hellfire days are long past her. She’s on the side of good now and a dedicated teacher of new…
Mighty Marvel Monday: Spider-Man Edition
It’s been quite a week. While I sometimes struggle to find interesting news to share, sometimes weeks like this past one happen, and there can be only one thing to talk about. So, let’s get this Mighty Marvel Monday started! The big news from Marvel this past week was the casting announcement of the newest Peter Parker, also known…
Without Smearing Her Lipstick: Missing Agent Carter? Try Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
If you’re reading TV reviews on this site, there’s a good chance you’re already watching Marvel’s Agent Carter. If you’re living in the United States (or anywhere outside of Australia), however, there’s a good chance you’re not watching Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. If that’s the case, you’ll want to fire up your Netflix queue right…
Mighty Marvel Monday
Another Monday, another Mighty Marvel Monday. This past week, Marvel did good, demonstrating once again that while the MCU is still disproportionately white and male, Marvel Comic and their animated universes are giving audiences what we want: more of us. Marvel made several big announcements this past week. The biggest is probably this: On Friday,…
Giving The Devil His Due: Diversity in Daredevil Season 1
SPOILER WARNING: If you have not seen all thirteen episodes of Daredevil Season 1, there will be plot points discussed. I intentionally waited out the first two weeks before I signed back up for Netflix to see Marvel’s Daredevil. Turns out this was a wise decision. The show had such extraordinary viewership that for those…
Mighty Marvel Monday!
It’s Memorial Day in the States, and I was sadly not invited to Mel’s BBQ, not that I was expecting to, seeing as how Mel and I have never met, we have no mutual friends, and I only found out Mel’s BBQ was a thing on Saturday thanks to Twitter. But now that I know…
#DiversifyAgentCarter: More Than a Hashtag
With a second season of Agent Carter announced earlier this week, the internet was filled with joy, but also with hope for the coming season. One of those hopes was crystallized on Twitter under the hashtag #DiversifyAgentCarter. The hashtag was created by Mikki Kendall, @karnythia, when she tweeted: It didn’t take long before the tag…
