One thing I love about Batman RIP is how Grant Morrison recontextualises the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. Not only is it a failsafe in Bruce's mind to allow him to still be Batman, but the name is revealed to be a mishearing of Thomas Wayne's final words before his death. So clever.

This logic of "The Avengers are the A-Tier and every big Marvel villain is theirs" is so counterproductive. The Avengers have a lot of big villains, and so do the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, etc. Apocalypse is an X-Men villain and the X-Men are more than capable of stopping him.

Apocalypse is too big of a threat for a standalone X-MEN movie...he's easily an AVENGERS-level threat, and if you give them like five years to get to him ready, audiences won't care that Fox attempted a version. He's up there with Thanos and Doom.

I think a lot of the "Secret Wars is going to be bigger than Endgame!" takes are seriously missing the point of why comic fans love the story so much. It's not because it's big and epic, it's because it's deep, emotional and pays off a story Marvel had been telling since 1962.

I get this is supposed to be a "huh look at this bad media!" post, but HBO's Watchmen was brilliant and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II did a great job as Doctor Manhattan. The show won 11 Emmy's, what is going on

"The Human Torch is Jim Hammond. Johnny Storm is Johnny Storm." Some angry rando if we had Twitter in the 1960s, probably.

No exaggeration but Hickman's Secret Wars might be the best comic event ever written. Every single page has something that makes me shout "oh fuck yeah."

The original 1984 Secret Wars story is very much a straightforward "look at all these characters crossing over!" story (and one solely created to sell action figures). It's a fun book, but Hickman and Ribic's Secret Wars is Marvel's best event comic because it's so much more.

“Superhero stories woke me up to my own potential. They gave me the basis of a code of ethics I still live by[...] I had no need for faith. My gods were real, made of paper and light, and they rolled up into my pocket like a superstring dimension.” Grant Morrison - Supergods

Something I've been writing about for the past few months is how All Star Superman is influenced by Grant Morrison losing their father and how the ideas of memory and legacy shape the comic. Reading Gunn's own story of his father passing makes this feel so earnest and heartfelt.

Yes, I’m directing Superman: Legacy to be released on July 11, 2025. My brother Matt told me when he saw the release date he started to cry. I asked him why. He said, “Dude, it’s Dad’s birthday.” I hadn’t realized.

Peach Momoko is brilliant, I loved her work on Ultimate X-Men #1 . Just because something isn't the usual superhero art doesn't mean it isn't valid or just as good as other styles. Also, that's David Finch on Ultimate X-Men, not Hitch. At least know what you're complaining about.

I have to be honest, every time I saw Taskmaster in Black Widow, all I saw was the Blue Senturion from Power Rangers Turbo.

Obviously the US, Canada and Mexico still exist as the North American Union, but if this is the geopolitical set-up for the Ultimate Universe, the thought of Captain America being not just a man lost to time but a literal nomad fighting for a country that's long gone is rad.

Growing up is realising Millar's writing isn't a subversive satire on right-wing interpretations of superheroes, it's just edgy nonsense for the sake of edgy nonsense

Logan is genuinely one of my favourite comic book movies of all time, but if you think gore and violence is what makes it so good then you misunderstood the whole movie.
