Comic books graduated into adult reading a long time ago, bringing with it a serious approach to character, story and themes. There are still times, though, that a character will put the “comic” in comic book. Whether it’s a main character defined by sarcasm or the comic relief auxiliary character, there is a long tradition […]
Given my previous feature about the things I felt were the worst about The Flash, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m not a big fan of the CW DC Comics shows. Not all of them, to be exact, but mainly the ones that fall under the showrunning and handling of Greg Berlanti and Marc […]
Justice League: Gods and Monsters is the long awaited return to the DC animated form by the much acclaimed Bruce Timm. Now, full disclosure, while I grew up with the various “DCAU” cartoon shows, I never felt much beholden to them. In fact, as I’ve grown into a more well-read comics fan, there are parts […]
This weekend, a hoard of television shows descended upon San Diego Comic Con to bring teasers for the 2015-2016 television season. Rather than put together a series of posts to highlight all the goodies, I’ll do my best to consolidate the most important pieces of television information (and teaser trailers) here. Feel free to let […]
Lucifer is quickly coming up and, well, it hasn’t had the best reception so far. Of course, we have Neil Gaiman himself saying that it’s gonna be an entertaining romp. Yet, that’s also what creators have been saying since time without end – most recently James Cameron with regards to Terminator: Genisys. So, taking a […]
Since DC Entertainment began the television show Arrow on The CW, they have slowly been introducing new characters to fill out the TV universe. Black Canary, Arsenal, Flash, and Atom (as well as many villains) started on Arrow while The Flash introduced viewers to Firestorm, Captain Cold and Heatwave. Now, many of those characters and […]
iZombie has just finished its run on the CW Network. Overall, I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely. By a large margin, it is definitely the comic book show that I will say ranks as the best. Even more than the more well-known fan favorite: The Flash. Even if I was a fan […]
An extended trailer for Supergirl, premiering on the network best known for its risky, complex storytelling: CBS, has arrived! And it has garnered some… mixed responses. Now, first off, this article won’t be lambasting you if you either loved it or hated it. That’s neither here nor there. Instead I’m going to argue that, regardless […]
Stephen Amell, star of the CW television show Arrow, was one of the guests of Wizard World Philadelphia last weekend, a show which I was able to cover. He was available for autographs and photos at the Philadelphia Convention Center during the weekend (as was his Arrow co-star Katie Cassidy, who plays Laurel Lance/Black Canary), […]
Was “My Name is Oliver Queen” a great end to season three? Not really. Did it make up for the mess that Arrow has become throughout the last half of the season? Nope. But, it resolved the lingering storylines well enough. And, considering how the episode could have really gone off the rails, I suppose […]
