A Justice League Movie? (or, Hopefully This Won’t Be a Missed Opportunity)
Since Man of Steel hit theaters, there’s been a lot of talk about a potential Justice League movie. We even mentioned this topic in the latest Shoot the WISB episode on the new Superman film. Much of the discussion is based on rumors, no doubt supported by this oddly blank IMDB page, which suggests that […]
A Comic Journey: New Comics, New Reading, and the Happy Shaun
Nothing I’m about to say here will seem cohesive. I’ve become obsessed with comics, if you didn’t already know. Gloriously and deliciously obsessed.

Guest Post: Sassy Gay to Super Gay — Marvel’s Re-Definition of the Supporting Gay Character by Benjamin Kissell
I remember being 9 years old and buying my first issue of Uncanny X-Men; my Mum had worked in a bookstore when I was little and had brought home rare gems, well-worn back-issues and cover-less comics [she couldn’t stand the sight of any book, comic or otherwise, being tossed into the garbage] so the sight […]
