Legion of Three Worlds is decent enough comics, but fails on the count of Too Much Superboy Prime. Superboy Prime sucks and is a bad villain. If he were a professional wrestler, he would be X-Pac – he isn’t the guy you love to hate and the guy you want to see the good guys […]

  (post by not-MGK author Dan Solomon) Because we all love Lost, but can struggle to find the 22 hours required to re-watch an entire season after we know where all of the plot twists are going to come in, it’s clear we’ve all been seeking the ideal medium for enjoying an entire season’s events […]

…but, in response to that old “D&D Alignments With Comic Characters In Motivational Poster Form” post from way back, I’ve updated the “handy introduction” page (EDIT: it’s at right on the sidebar) to better reflect the Greatest Hits nature of it.

Hoo boy. All right, look – I want to start out by saying that Knodar has a cool concept. “Man from a utopian future who wants to reinvent crime” is pretty neat on all sorts of levels, and could really work itself into an awesome story very easily. The base idea behind Knodar can be […]

As you no doubt are aware, “Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe” is coming out sometime soon for major gaming consoles everywhere. Now here is what I don’t get. Why the hell is Superman in a goddamned Mortal Kombat game? I mean, what happens when Superman gets stabbed by Scorpion? “GET OVER HERE – AGH! NO! […]

From comments yesterday: Actually, I wouldn’t mind hearing your full thoughts on the issue of the Legion and why Johns shouldn’t be writing it. I mean, just a bit of a more detailed answer. and And while you’re being forced to give thoughts, what’s the best possible outcome for Legion of Three Worlds short of […]

Some talented artist out there needs to draw a picture of Cthulhu having a knock-down drag-out brawl with Voltron. DO IT! DO IT NOOOOOOOOOW! UPDATE: Also Rex the Wonder Dog is helping Voltron, as suggested by lance lunchmeat in comments.

I know my posts at The Court aren’t generally of mass importance to my readership, but this one is different. Recently, a collection of Christian activist groups, led by the abominable Charles McVety, petitioned the Canadian Judicial Council for the removal of Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin, based on her participation in the Order of Canada […]

Honestly, I had been planning to stop doing these at #50, because there’s a limit, even for me, but although the whole exercise is just a fun one, the depressing possibility that Geoff Johns’ “I Can’t Believe It’s Not The Paul Levitz LSH” will become the de facto Legion kills a lot of that fun, […]

For everyone who wanted to see it: the trailer for An American Carol. (Hoooooooooo boy that looks bad.)

(I had been working on this for a while, but until Chris Sims wrote his excellent piece on the Joker, I had been having a lot of problems structuring it the way I wanted it to flow. His piece provided a helpful baseline for me to work from, and for that I give him kudos […]

I’ve written about Kathy “Five Feet Of Fuckup” Shaidle’s idiocy before on this site, but this really takes the cake. Now, I am not particularly a big fanboy of Jason Cherniak – he often comes across as painfully self-important, to say the least. But I’m not so stupid and crazy as to, say, publicly disparage […]
