I’m not a big Doctor Who guy, don’t think I ever even saw a Matt Smith episode, but this is funny to me. Oh, that’s what you’d like, huh? Simple as recapturing lightning in a bottle! Of course, why didn’t I think of that? Someone should do Fantastic Four in a Lee/Kirby vein, I bet that’d be good too

Questioned on what he would want to see from a revamped Doctor Who, Hall harked back to the days when Matt Smith and David Tennant were playing the Doctor.

Dovetailing with the recent bonus ep on Lex Luthor: The Unauthorized Biography, plenty of thoughts on post-Crisis Lex in this discussion on Man of Steel!

I confess: I find Return of Swamp Thing more entertaining than the Wes Craven original.

Watched 1981’s Hell Night, a surprisingly competent slasher with Linda Blair. Feels like it could use a brisker edit, but lots of fun, clever little bits in it.

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of The Iron Age of Comics, it may say more about the listener than the podcast. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world.

Jedi in this film do not demonstrate any physical/telekinetic abilities, only mental/psychic ones. Even Vader’s “Force choke” could be rationalized as some kind of hypnotic suggestion: “You believe you can’t breathe,” rather than actually crushing a windpipe.

I like that the lightsaber duel is slow. It’s minimalistic precision fighting, testing each other to find weaknesses, rather than crazy acrobatics.

Update and correction on our Grendel coverage! Thread contains some cool comparisons between the original colors and what’s been redone for the collections. Once again (opinion) trying to apply current color technology and aesthetics to older work creates an odd kind of uncanny valley.

Jerry Robinson (Jan 1, 1922-Dec 11, 2007) co-created the Joker and Robin, taught Steve Ditko how to draw, forced DC to make a deal with Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and looked like Roy Scheider. What a dude.

So many comics companies publishing movie IP-based titles and yet no one will give me the Mo Rutherford: Industrial Saboteur prequel series I so desperately deserve.

My pitch to the BBC for Doctor Who (because of course they asked me) would be a bit formalist. Since the revival series went all-in on the episodes being like little movies, a new show might differentiate itself by embracing the staginess of the original show.

Picked up Aliens vs. Avengers at the library, just finished it. I respect the hell out of taking what could be a dopey synergy crossover thing and making an ambitious and thoughtful meal out of it. But man was that a thing I did not enjoy reading even a little bit.

It wasn’t Marvel that had Cap’s shield made, it was Mark Gruenwald. Fabian and others are trying to get credit for Mark out there. And maybe his widow would like the shield returned to her. I know I would.

Our podcast is not pivoting to video, but my friend Zach here has convinced me to occasionally manifest in a visual form on his. So now you can SEE me as the wildly gesticulating mountain man in a Hawaiian shirt ranting about Spider-Man that previously could only exist in your mind’s eye.

I mean I blame August Derleth. As much as he’s to be lauded for helping keep Weird Fiction work alive he’s also to blame for like, literal power sets and like hierarchical rankings of what are supposed to be unknowable forces from outside space and time. The godfather of the villains wiki I guess.

Look at this Giles cartoon from 1978 We have foreground & background. The foreground is on a different level to the background. The architecture of the house, the ceiling & the landing are in service to that. The subject in the foreground is framed. The subjects in the background are also framed...

On Wednesday: an episode of the podcast THEY don’t want you to listen to! (“They” in this case meaning “possibly Marvel?” It’s never been reprinted, anyway…)
