It’s time for the next installment in my favorite black characters in media. This week, I’m focusing on my favorite DC characters. DC has been around for a long time and in their long history they’ve developed a decent chunk of black characters into their mythology. While I wish a few more of them were…
It’s February. The shortest month of the year. It is also the one month created to bring awareness to Black History. While, I’m not going to go into how sad it is that we need to specify a month to help make people aware. So what I’m going to do is highlight some of my…
In an effort to both raise awareness and put out more content prior to the release of Marvel’s most questionable property, Guardians of the Galaxy, a series of prelude comics were published prior to the films release. Each of these comics is directly associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe as these are tie in pieces.…
I’ve talked about adaptations previously (and comic adaptations). I’ve even talked about why I think The Runaways would make a far better TV show than a movie, but I feel like I need to go into why I believe that comic adaptations are well suited for TV. Yes, there are certain arcs that can be…
When I was in middle school and high school, I read manga non-stop. Well, maybe it wasn’t non-stop but whenever I had the spare money to buy a volume of one of my favorite stories, you could bet on me going to check it out. I built a collection. By the time I graduated high school, I owned over 50 volumes and that’s not including the volumes that I borrowed from friends.
It isn’t easy to find the book you love and the genres you love. It just isn’t easy unless you put the time into it. Sure, for some people reading just isn’t their thing, but I would bet that the majority of people who find reading distasteful probably just have never found what they could…
I’ve only been in to comics and manga for the past 10 to 11 years. Even now, I can’t stop reading stories presented in this manner. For one the ability to see the story visually depicted yet still be able to delve into their minds like in novels. It’s fascinating how they can pull you…
There’s a new trend that has been sweeping network cable recently. Comics. Well, comic book adaptation to be exact. Now don’t get me wrong, there have been comic book adaptations on TV for years so the concept is nothing new. In fact, we tend to have a somewhat steady stream of one or two adaptations…
Let’s be honest sometimes, I feel like junk and my mind won’t function. Today is one of those days. I refuse to leave you all hanging, so instead I wanted to make this a more engaging post. Who is your favorite Marvel character. There have been hundreds over the years and there are always new…
In honor of my boyfriend’s birthday and him just finishing plowing through Marvel Civil War, this post is for him. Anyone who reads Marvel Comics would likely know what that story line entails. While the story line is extremely compelling and beyond interesting, I have strong doubts of this ever to come to fruition, however…
There have been claims that comics are no longer for children but for adults. Comics are no longer even targeted at children, nut more at an older crowd to consume. To some people this is blasphemous. To some people it makes sense. Yet, to some people the idea of reading a comic is juvenile. Which…
I recently purchased a one month subscription to Marvel Unlimited to try it out. I had been taking out comics from the library, but within a month I had pretty much plowed through a large chunk of their collection or the comics were missing large chunks and storylines or were only the beginning of series.…
When most people think of comics, their ideas often drift to something juvenile. If by chance the person coming across the thought of comics doesn’t believe that comics are designed only for children, they often view the themes as trite. Anyone who really reads comics and delves into the world they provide, knows differently. The…
(… and Graphic Novels) I love comic books. I always have and I probably always will. They are short and too the point, yet fantastic enough to keep me thoroughly entertained. Sure, the wordings that appear inside may be cheesy at times. ‘Bam’ never ceases to make me laugh. But more times than not, the…
So, I pondered...
