In The Year 3000

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

So a lot of people have been emailing me excitedly about how Legion of Super-Heroes got cancelled by DC Comics, making the logical leap that if DC is cancelling the title, clearly I suddenly have a shot at it. Which is flattering and all, but let’s be realistic here: no matter how many readers I […]

Return Of The Law

Posted by MGK Published in Law, The Internets

I’ve moved to mostly editing work for Thecourt.ca during the school year, but I do occasionally contribute a new original piece still. This time around, it’s about rights of young people during police interrogation and why “subjective” and “objective” are just law-talk for “stuff we don’t like” and “stuff we like” respectively.

MGK Liveblogs Lots of Debates, Part Three: The Canadian-ing

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics

The Canadian leaders’ debate! Electric! (Well, no.) Exciting! (Probably not.) Substantive! (Actually, there is a reasonable chance of this last one, due to Canadians having a low tolerance for electing intolerant fundamentalist Muppets to office.) Minute one: Your contestants are Stephen “please give me a majority” Harper, Stephane “please don’t give him a majority” Dion, […]

Probably important to note in advance that Sarah Palin is not going to set her podium on fire […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: The Cadre

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Sometimes, you just need the sort of villain who can get beat up by El Diablo, the Olympian or a random member of the Blood Pack. This is fine and good; even D-listers need their little victories. And for those little victories, you know where to go. The Cadre got their start fighting D-list superheroes […]

Quick SYTYCD Canada Elimination Round Review

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

I saw a lot of my favorites go (Ferdinand, TK, Justin Johnson, several ballroom girls, Francesca), but if honesty prevails I am forced to admit that on the whole the top 20 looks extremely promising in terms of dancer strength – they cut out a lot of the more personality-based dancers with weaker technique while […]

Revealing A Piece Of Comics History

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Comics, Photoshopp'd

Action Comics #309 is noteworthy among Silver Age Superman comics. The story is nothing particularly out-of-the-ordinary – your usual “Superman is being celebrated by the public and Lois/Lana use the opportunity to try and prove that he is also Clark Kent but he comes up with a clever method of fooling them” story. (The fact […]
