I remember as a kid growing up in the '80s as a comic fan, I was starved for comic movies. We had Burton’s Batmans and Donner’s Superman, but nothing but some low-budget Spider-Man and Captain America TV stuff. Then X-Men hit in 2000, I can’t remember being more excited in my whole life. To me, that and the Raimi Spider-Man movies were my peak. Like everything in life, it’s been all downhill from then. But I appreciate everything Marvel has given me, because I would rather have something than nothing.

I just assumed it was going to be an animation when I saw this announcement on Brett's post. Live action is still cool, I just hope they can pull it off so it still has Bean's charm and vision.

Oh, I saw Brett’s posts about this and just assumed it was going to be an animation. It seems perfect for that. But a live action is still cool, it’ll be interesting to see how they pull this off. A D’Orc and Dungeon Crawler Carl live-action night would be pretty cool though.

I love Star Trek, but that show was a abomination. It made Strange New Worlds, look like Shakespeare.

Wasn't sure I was going to pick this one up, but I sure as hell am now. This looks amazing. Wish I had the moolah to get that incredible piece, but I'll just settle for the comics.

When I first heard about Midnight X-Men my interest peaked, and then when I heard it was about vampires, that interest hit a wall. Vampires are so overdone. They were cool for a while, but they've gotten stale. I got it anyway because I'm a FOMO guy. After reading it, I'm not bored. The new mutant vamps are done well, and the story is shaping up to be complicated: the church, warring factions of vamps, and mutants who haven't turned trying to cure their friends. Hickman says it's "not doing Krakoa stuff," and he's planning complete six-issue stories with a big shake-up every twelve. Plus Cyclops is a badass again. I'm eager for the next issue. Now on to Spider-Man. It's not my favorite, for the simple reason that I hate spiders, and you get some pretty graphic spider horror imagery. But the story is promising so far, so I'll push through this one, gross spider stuff and all. And now Fantastic Four. This was my most anticipated one because of the interdimensional and space angle, which I thought was perfect for a Lovecraftian horror story. That's exactly what we're getting, since Percy's Galactus is a Lovecraft-style monster and the team won't get their powers right away. I'm looking forward to that one a lot. Of the three new books in this horror launch, Marvel's shot at competing with DC's Absolute line, X-Men caught me off guard the most, and it's my top book.

This is fantastic news, I knew this was coming at some point. D'Orc is just too good not to eventually take to animation. I just hope that your vision and voice are kept in mind for this project.

Pretentious fart sniffers awarding themselves for their own stupidity.

OK, can we talk about Apple TV for a sec? Somewhere along the way it became my go-to for sci-fi, and honestly, they're killing it right now. Nobody else is even close. Just look at this lineup: Severance, Silo, For All Mankind, Foundation, Pluribus, Murderbot, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and Dark Matter. Like, come on. Mind-bending office horror, an underground post-apocalyptic mystery, an alternate-history space race, Asimov's Foundation finally on screen, a grumpy robot who just wants to binge its shows in peace, and freaking Godzilla. Every one of these feels like it was made by people who actually give a shit about sci-fi. If you love this stuff and you're not watching Apple TV, what are you doing? Seriously, go fix that.

I'm not opposed to this. Powell isn't just a pretty face—he has some acting chops. I've really enjoyed his Chad Powers show on Hulu.

Comics taught me to read. Tolkien kept me reading.

Nice, always love me a good Skottie Young cover.

Wow lol, that's a crazy one, I love it. Wish I could get it, but there are something like 116 store exclusives out there, my goodness. I'll be picking up DDub's three main covers though for sure.

Growing up as a kid in the 80s, one of the most memorable things was getting up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Among that wonderful batch of colorful animated cels was ThunderCats. The fluid animation was eye-catching, the music, the voice acting, the SNARFS. What a wonderful cartoon, and what a time. Which brings me to what's happening in comics right now. ThunderCats has had a resurgence over the last few years, and it's led up to this interesting comic coming out this New Comic Book Day Oct 21: ThunderCats #1 from @DynamiteComics, with Greg Pak writing and @DavidCousens on art. It's a new take on a classic. Lion-O turns into a "Feral King," which is a bold move for a guy already shaped like a lion. I'll be picking this one up and giving it a try. And check out that A cover by Mark Spears. Isn't it a beauty?

This is my blog, I guess, where I'll tell you about the things I think are cool and interesting. I love comic book superheroes, comic art, sci-fi, fantasy, movies, and TV shows. You know, all the cool shit we waste our time on. I thought this might be a place for information about all those things, but now I think it's just a place to get it all out of my head so I don't go crazy. If that interests you, stick around. If not, there's a whole big internet out there to get lost in. Bye!

Lauren Cohan joins Prime Video's Stillwater, from Chip Zdarsky and Ramón K. Pérez's Skybound comic about a town where nobody ages, nobody dies, and nobody gets out. Years of fighting walkers, now she lives where nobody dies. Feels like a promotion. (via Deadline)

One for the fantasy crowd. Si Spurrier (@sispurrier) and Christopher Mitten do King Arthur the Conan way in Rampant Swine. Arthur's a warlord, his knights are savages, and there's a giant boar. Mignola drew a variant. Nov 25. (via ComicBook.com)

You killed Hal Jordan in season one and sent John Stewart to the movies. A season two would need a lot more Green Lantern and a lot less misery.

Good. Milly was never the problem, and firing her wouldn't fix anything. Now let's see if Man of Tomorrow's first cut lives up to the hype.

Six seasons of Matt Murdock is a solid run. While you take that breath, Marvel, the Midnight Sons are sitting right there, and Moon Knight still deserves a second season.
