JLA/Avengers Issue Two: A Contest Of Champions

As with all sensible non-showpony storytelling, Issue Two of this tale picks up straight where Issue One ended, namely with the Avengers and the JLA ready for some serious smackdown time. Oh, sure, there was a bit of a prologue with Krona and The Grandmaster, but I, like most sane comic book readers, skipped straight [...]

Heroes Season Four, Episode One

For those who care about such matters (and, indeed, those who do not), the new season of Heroes has exploded onto screens everywhere (especially those screens screening the episode – other screens not so much). Equally, Morgan’s awesome recap of the same double episode opener has also exploded onto her blog. And comments? They’ve exploded [...]

Another week in which the beautiful people trundled over to this site via dubious keywords. Let’s see what we have this time around: telepathic octopus species Hmmm… don’t know of any telepathic octopi. But I do know that Starro the Starfish Conqueror (last seen in my recent JLA/Avengers recap) is a telepathic starfish. That’s pretty [...]

Lost Analysis: Mysteries and Unanswered Questions – The Smoke Monster

Tell me your secrets, Smoke Monster

He showed up in the pilot to kill the pilot. At that point, we didn’t know much about the monster other than it had something against Greg Grunberg. Since then, we’ve learned a lot more about it. That it’s made of smoke for one thing. That it’s rather judgmental for another. It’s also able to [...]

Two And A Half Men

Problem: Now that little shit of a kid is getting older, he probably no longer can reasonably be used as the justification for the ‘half man’ in the title. Solution: Have him bitten by a werewolf, thereby becoming a half-man, half-wolf lycanthropic monster. Use best judgement as to whether or not to add a parenthetic [...]

JLA/Avengers Issue One: A Journey Into Mystery

The team-up several decades in the making is finally here. Where ‘finally here’ means ‘back in 2003′. But, hey, I’m renowned for my scholarly analysis, not my timeliness. So here’s my recap a scant six years or so later. It’s a story of the team-up of the greatest heroes of two comic book companies, written [...]
