Things got back on track with the latest relaunch. Though Ultimate Comics Spider-Man is the only book of the three that consistently wows me. As to the original post, I will believe it when my ass is in the theater about to watch the movie. This movie has been "coming in a couple of years"...

To anyone who opposes affirmative action on its face (not how it gets implemented,d not specific policies, but the very concept) I ask one simple question: Do you really believe that that 350-ish years worth of legal oppression, discrimination, and abuses (250 years of Slavery, 100 of general...

Wait, so she tried to crash a high security event that she wasn't invited to and got arrested for it and you feel this makes some grand point about American politics?

Only in "House of M".

This just in - 7 year old says she supports the only presidential candidate she's heard of after late night talk show host tells her that the other guy doesn't like her. in other news, I have convinced my cousin's 7 year old to support Obama based on their agreement on the importance of Spider-Man.

...And a Marvel Studios TV show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, co-created by Joss Whedon with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen (most notably co-writers of Dr. Horrible, but with some respectable TV work since) didn't sound watchable in the first place?

Well, it won't matter much unless you're one of the people they get ratings from, but yeah pretty much. If there was no chance of a series, they probably wouldn't be airing it at all.

Seconded. Amazing film about an amazing moment in history. So my dad and I rented Bernie from redbox last night. Quirky black comedy (based on a true story) about a mean old bat who was murdered by her extreme doormat business manager/traveling companion. Obviously, the film is tinted so we...

Well, they decided to pass on the series but air the pilot as a movie. If it does well in the ratings (and critically), there's always a chance that they will change their mind and take it to series.

Presumably, all will be explained in the pilot. And part of me wants the series finale to end with

No, that plug was pulled forty-five years ago, when Captain Mar-Vell debuted. There's been at least a one-shot or mini starring one of their Captains Marvel every few years ever since. When DC did revive the original character, it was in a comic entitled "Shazam!". When the character got a TV...

He's called Shazam now, because he's more explicitly the wizard's replacement as protector of Earth. And because DC will never get the trademark to "Captain Marvel" back from Marvel and they are therefore legally obligated to title/advertise anything the character stars in (comics, tv, movies...

The first arc was pretty so-so (felt kind of rushed) but the Villain's Journey was pretty good...though come to think of it, the ending felt a little rushed on that one too. So mostly so-so, but the Shazam back-up is great (in my opinion).

See, I'm the opposite - he's been Beast Boy for over half my life, and it was the half in which I was buying comics regularly. I personally prefer that codename, as "Changeling" sounds a bit too generic.

He went by Beast Boy from 1965 to 1980 (15 years, though he admittedly saw use sparingly during that period) and from 2000-present. That's 27 years and counting. He went by Changeling from 1980 to 2000, twenty years. Of course, he saw a lot more regular use during his 20 years as Changeling than...

His new origin is still mad science (experimented on, metagene activated and connected him to The Red) but it links in to the greater mythology of the DCnU. And since The Red is, as I understand, a brand new concept...yeah, he wasn't tied to The Red previously because it didn't exist previously...

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. While Birds of Prey hasn't exactly been A-#1, I've been enjoying it. I dig all that undercover covert ops shit and was happy to see Black Canary "return" to it (in the Golden Age, she briefly had the schtick of going undercover and busting up gangs from...

....How so? In the mythology they're building, The Red is the spiritual connection between all animals (red like blood, I think was the idea) and The Green* is the connection between all plant life (which has been around since late 80's Swamp Thing, I think). Beast Boy (a name that they went...

Uh...hard to say. Beast Boy really hasn't had much to do, so he's coming off as pretty bland thus far in Ravagers.

Yes. Yes it is.
