Let’s face it – Spider-Man’s 50+ year long comic book arc is the stuff of legend. And, of course, there were many different movie and television Spider-Man projects. A slew of wildly popular…

The cheapest Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show ever made.
Last week, I blogged about the arrival of the new Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, and in the blog I mentioned that the Fantastic Four’s first TV appearances came from a 1967 Hanna-Barbera animated series. At the time, the Fantastic Four were part of an onslaught of Marvel super heroes on weekend television. For while…
Read MoreAm I ready for Fantastic Four: First Steps??
Yeah, I’ll admit it. I was a comic book nerd as a kid. And I’m still that person who goes to the “first showing at midnight” premieres for new Marvel movies. Because, yeah. That being said, I realize that there is tremendous anticipation and hype and interest over the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s integration of Marvel’s…
Read MoreShould I even bother getting my hopes up for this new Fantastic Four movie?
This is a tough call. A really tough call. And personally, I want this to work. But I’ve been burned before. I was burned in 2005, when the first big-budget Fantastic Four movie hit theaters. This was going to be the big one. This was going to take the greatest superhero family from the comic…
Read MorePeanuts si, Dilbert no
By now you’ve heard that Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, has been dropped by nearly every newspaper that used to run his comic – and was also dropped by his distribution syndicate. See, when you go online and make comments about people of color being “a hate group” from whom Caucasians should…
Read MoreNow HERE’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover I’ve been waiting for …
Last year, I totally fangeeked over the Spider-Man: No Way Out film. The movie found a way to weave together the last three Spider-Man actors into one cohesive and totally action-packed film. This was no easy task. The original Spider-Man trilogy (with Tobey Maguire) was part of one thematic universe, while the Amazing Spider-Man films…
Read MoreNew Spider-Man movie trailer! This is not a drill!!!
We’ve all been waiting for the new Spider-Man movie trailer. Trust me, Sony Pictures has more riding on your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man than you can imagine. And last night … in the middle of the night, mind you … The trailer dropped. Yeah. The one involving a multiverse and all that. Wanna see the trailer?…
Read MoreUsing the Human Torch as a springboard in the MCU
The Human Torch, also known as Johnny Storm, is one of the four members of the legendary comic book quartet Fantastic Four. Based on a similar character from the 1940’s, the Human Torch can burst into flame and fly. He’s essentially a living, cognizant fireball. And at some point in time, he and the Fantastic…
Read MoreWait, they want to show Batman doing THAT to Catwoman??
The Harley Quinn cartoon series, the one featuring Kaley Cuoco as the voice of the titular character, is definitely not for children. There’s been plenty of language and adult situations in the series, which will be entering its third season soon. And recently, Harley Quinn – along with other superhero-based TV shows, like WandaVision and…
Read MoreThe Rarebit Fiend returns, 2021 edition
Last night, I was in my car. There was no other traffic on the road. I made my turn. And then suddenly, a car came from out of nowhere and smashed into the front left corner of my Chevrolet. I saw minimal damage. But there was enough to barely limp the car to a nearby…
