I'm thinking about doing a story about Defenders "must-read" stories. It wouldn't be actual Defenders comics, of course, but instead stories about the TV roll call. Here's what I'm thinking about. Y'all feel free to chime in with your favorite ones o

It’s a pretty dizzying time for streaming services, especially if you’re a fan of Peak Geek TV.
First, Disney announced it was removing its content from Netflix and starting its own streaming service.

Here's a good news/bad news post.
The bad news:
As some of you may know, I was laid off from The Commercial Appeal newspaper in Memphis back in late March.

I just saw some scans from Adventure Comics #397, where Supergirl teams up with Wonder Woman. However, of interest is that a couple of times during the story, Supergirl uses super-telepathy to get information from people. Was this some power she had

I've been watching Batman '66 in order for the first time -- on H&I, not MeTV (sorry Me) -- and I just hit the first episode of Season 2.
Is it just me, or did Batman get new ears for the new season?

One of the comics picked up yesterday had an in-house add for The Adventures of Jerry Lewis. On the cover it shows him facing a barbarian while Wonder Woman (not in her normal costume, a red top and white skirt) is promising him help. Anyone ever

I think I like the shows. 45 minutes to park, 20 minutes in line and the attachments will show the crowds. Forget seeing any of the celebrity guests, it was all I could do to get to discount long boxes.

Anyone think of an old comic you read that, even with the help of the Almighty Google, you cannot find or identify?

Whew! I don’t think I’ve ever had every question in a quiz shot down as fast as they were this year. Clearly, I underestimated the popularity of the Silver-Age appearances of the Justice Society heroes. My Earth-Two questions proved to be not as d

(I'll do a spoilery review later.) Saw this last night at the De Lux over to Holtsville. I enjoyed it a lot. I was a little concerned when I heard that Hideaki Anno was going to direct it - he's brilliant, but a little bit screwy, and I was afraid
