I am not joking. Spider-Man: The Musical. It’s coming to Broadway. If that’s not crazy already, get this: it’s being directed by Julie Taymor (The Lion King, Across the Universe, Titus) and scored by Bono and The Edge (U2, being self-righteous douchebags). Producers are holding an open casting call for the roles of Peter Parker, […]

I will admit that I nearly opened with a joke about being given the keys to the Impala, but I figured, best just use that one the once. I don’t remember how I first encountered Supernatural; I’m sure it was an online discussion somewhere, but I don’t remember the specific pointer like I remember The […]

From the email inbox: Hey – I love reading your I Should Write The Legion things, but writing is only half of a comic. So my question is – who would be your ideal artist(s) for the Legion when you get to write them? Firstly, I feel it’s important to emphasize that, although I appreciate […]

Almost uniformly these characters get slotted into two tracks: the comic relief nerd (Egon in Ghostbusters) or the crazy savant (for example, the horrifically […]

Shocking story from this blog post: Sunday, a Muslim woman scolded me for inappropriate behavior in her neighborhood. I was running up Bedford toward Williamsburg, following a part of the marathon course I often branch from to go over the bridge into Manhattan for a longer run. That day I elected to just do a […]

Hope you like the new curtains, MGK readers. This is Wendy White, here to balance the gender equation. Math is hard, tee-hee! Ahem. I promise to show all my working. It is not as a woman that I speak to you today. Today, I speak to you as a representative of the Mad Max Country. […]

MIT scientists just figured out how to make solar energy forty times more efficient (in a manner that allows one to upgrade old solar cells to boot).

Clearly the American airline industry is in an even bigger mess than usual. They’ve been scrambling for the past few months, trying to find new ways to squeeze some extra money out of their customers and stretch their weak yankee dollars a little bit further. We’ve seen them require customers to pay for checked luggage, […]

My other column at Thecourt.ca this week is about Keays v. Honda, a case that has redefined the employer-employee relationship in this country for the worse. Needless to say, I was less than impressed.
