Now that’s a tagline!
“Heroes Are Made In America” THAT’s what needs to be on the posters! Isn’t it strange how during all the pre-production press, director Joe Johnston is out there talking about how it’s not going to be flag-waving and jingoistic (what, is the guy allergic to selling tickets?), but once it’s time to promote it in …

Sentimentality and giant transforming robots aside these particular books came with vinyl records playing the audio for the story. I owned When Continents Collide which can be seen as fairly terrible. The visual of the oil drilling oil ship …

who or what is Landau, Luckman and Lake?
Well I already knew the answer:Wolverine Files 010: Landau, Luckman and Lake (and Jasmine Falls) | Wolverine Files. Sometimes I think good ideas like this are best left to the stuff dropped for them in the decades they originated in because the contemporary writers’ elaborations often do not feel ‘true’ when set next to the …

Which do you think are the most significant Super-Heroes and are the number of the most important only seven?
Adherents has had a website dedicated to exploring the respective religions of various fictional characters for some time now and whenever I wander over there (which is very rarely) I find it fascinating.

Avengers is the only good child of Disney and Marvel on television
Disney’s ‘Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!’ Is Better Than You Might Think – Starpulse.com. What surprises me the most is how literate Robbie Hays is regarding the Avengers.
