Seeing those pages MGK posted from his reworking of “Civil War” reminded me of the story that was supposedly going to shake up the Marvel Universe forever. (So let’s see…Cap’s alive again, Spider-Man’s secret identity was restored, Iron Man’s brain was literally reset to pre-Civil War status, and the Registration Act was repealed. And most […]

There should totally be a four-issue Marvel miniseries featuring Captain America and Pete Wisdom and Sunfire and a collection of Marvel’s never-used “international” superheroes like Shamrock and Defensor and they’ll all be trapped in Arcade’s deathtraps and it should be called Murderworld Cup.

Recently got a couple more requests to repost the Sally Floyd/Captain America remix I did years ago, and the truth is that I don’t have both pages any more; I’ve only got the second page, courtesy of Edward Saul. For those who never saw the first page: basically Sally Floyd says that Captain America is […]

Your hosts are Nigel, Mia Michaels and Adam. No Mary Murphy! Now if they can get rid of Nigel Billy and All-Star Lauren: Broadway. Kicking off the season with Tasty Oreo Broadway is always a touch worrisome. Billy hits his moves well enough (and has an Early DiCaprio sorta-goatee), but they are big and slow […]

Before I begin, I’d just like to take a moment to apologize for the lateness of this post; no matter how much I say things like, “Oh, I’ll take my laptop to (insert vacation destination here) so I can blog from wherever I am,” it just doesn’t happen. Vacations always seem to happen in a […]

FLAPJACKS: Why are you watching Wheel of Fortune? This show sucks. ME: I’m killing time in between games. It’s on the CBC for some reason. I don’t want to get up and change channels. I’ve got a laptop here, why do I need to get up and change channels? FLAPJACKS: I mean, look at this […]

John Seavey’s first attempt to try and instill a true nerd/geek/whatever film canon was a good idea, but suffered from obvious operational flaws: namely, the ability of people to add and veto in unlimited amounts. The first is problematic because it means people will add things of which they have fond memories but which aren’t […]

So this year’s top 10-instead-of-a-top-20 So You Think You Can Dance turned out to eventually be a top 11, because they just couldn’t cut down from five classically trained male dancers to four. This makes eight of 11 dancers (more than 70 percent!) from the various classical training disciplines (ballet, jazz and contemporary), plus your […]

So the swirling rumour in Canadian politics of the day is that the Liberals and the New Democrats will unify to create a new, centre-left party. Now, on the one hand, this sounds reasonable, because this is basically what the right-wing parties in Canada did years ago. On the other hand, the basic argument for […]

One of the things that I genuinely adore about writing for mightygodking.com instead of my own blog is that I get a lot of comments. People love to give feedback on what I’ve written (and ultimately, that’s what every writer really wants, to know that people are listening. Money is just a measurement of that, […]
