True, true, great acting, writing and directing can outshine any production shortcomings. For instance, I still love the Troughton, Pertwee, and Tom Baker Doctors Who, because the writing, acting and directing usually more than compensate for the lack of effects. But I do not see the writing...

I like the writing and acting in Powers. Especially Eddie Izzard as Wolfe. But aren't the shitty effects and cheap sets a little distracting? Feels almost like watching an early 80s Doctor Who.

Reminds me a little bit of this. I own the shield, my brother in law has the hammer, trying to find a Superman costume that'll fit him (he's kind of huge - 6'8", 325+lbs). And I hope this is the last big purchase for a bit (except at a con)- got this because Joe Kelly will be at Awesomecon in...

I just finished watching Unbreakable. I definitely see why it's considered a comic book movie sans an actual comic book. Sam Jackson is definitely the best part, IMO. His character shows a serious knowledge of comic books. I think my favorite bit is Sam Jackson’s reaction when a dude wants...

Further proof that Ryan Reynolds is turning into Wade Wilson

Maybe y'all already knew this, but it messed with me disproportionately- the below (muskox) are not ox at all but GIANT GOATS. I am more bothered by this, for some reason, than by the discovery that whales are a form of deer or the fact that a chicken is a small, stupid dinosaur.

This is making the rounds on Imgur. I really hope this happens.

Never actually seen this. Gonna have to check it out. Just added to the collection- Secret Wars 8, first Spidey black suit as symbiote (technically appeared as a costume a couple months earlier, but Secret Wars is where he got the thing). Officially near-mint, but it is in better condition...

Dammit. NBC is not renewing Constantine. 1st recent comic book-based show not renewed for a 2nd season. I really liked it. They'd teased the Spectre, a character I'd really like to see- it would've opened the door to introduce a version of Hal Jordan. Warner Brothers is supposedly shopping it...

Two things. First, my new favorite Deadpool variant, Winnie the Pool. And a classic Kirby, sans colors, of Fin Fang Foom. Wonderful art, but WHY DOES HE HAVE PANTS???? HE'S A REPTILE! HIS JUNK IS INTERNAL! Do we need to hide cloacae now? (I think that's the plural of cloaca).

And of course Star Wars itself owes a huge amount to comics, especially Jack Kirby's New Gods. And Men in Black was a comic book before it was a movie.

...and possibly the funniest thing Marvel AR has done- three way argument between Captain America, Deadpool and Wolverine over which one of them is good, which one bad, and which one ugly (from Deadpool 2012 15-17, "The Goos, the Bad, and the Ugly". Really long for Marvel AR- goes on and...

Was so psyched by the near-mint copy of Infinity Gauntlet #2 I picked up on free comic book day, I tracked down and bought a near-mint of Infinity Gauntlet #1, this one signed by George Perez (obviously a bit more money than the unsigned #2). Not quite as cool as if it were signed by Jim...

Really? Have you not seen any of Edward R Murrow's work from the 50s? Jimmy Breslin's work from the 60s through the 80s? Studs Terkel? The old Woodward and Bernstein (before they got famous)? Glenn Greenwald? These are people who broke stories, irrelevant of the political slant of the...

Al Jazeera America and Vice are both good, and not (for the most part) too slanted.

A) I own more bongs now than before I switched to vaping, by an order of magnitude (see my glass list below). B) I don't know many Aussies, but here in the DC-Baltimore area, what finally got a lot of people I know to switch was when they saw how much less herb you use in a good vaporizer...

The Kirby Alphabet. My favorite- "Namor has never seen angora rabbits".

And Suicide Squad image released. Personally not wild about any of the looks in this pic - Leto looks good but he isn't in this image. Margot Robbie, especially, looks like kind of lazy fangirl cosplay. No frill or bells, wrong colors (red and blue, not red and black), no mask. I could do...

Thanos bobble-head

An impressive level of geekiness - a website that just tracks how many exclamation points Rob Liefeld, co-creator of Deadpool and Cable, uses on Twitter every day, with summary statistics on his past exclamation point use. http://www.excitableliefeld.com/ And if you go to the Google Spanish to...
