Quick math quiz! I’ve got to be up before 5 AM tomorrow for a half marathon. Jessica Jones dropped on Netflix today. The kids go to bed by 10. How many episodes can I watch tonight and not collapse and possibly be eaten by gators on the course through Myakka tomorrow morning? […]

Since a new goddess strolled in and picked up the hammer from the, now-unworthy, Odinson a few months back, there has been abundant speculation as to her true identity. Some thought it was Freyja, pissed that Odin discounted her stint as the sole ruler of Asgard. Others said it must […]

I’m a fan of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., have been since the first season. I think it’s the old school Buffy/Angel reviewer in me that was just happy to have any Whedon presence back on the small screen. This season, they’ve been hitting it right out of the park. Last night […]

Ever since I signed up for the incredibly awesome Marvel Unlimited service (you get access to nearly all of Marvel’s library, with a six-month delay on new issues), New Comic Day coincides with Marvel’s Monday refresh of the app. This morning I was thrilled to see I’m finally getting the […]

So there are people on the internet that are absolutely losing their shit over the newly leaked “All-New, All-Different Avengers” cover. The new line-up actually hews fairly closely to modern team incarnations: Thor, Iron Man, Captain American, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Vision, and Nova (who’s not a regular, but there’s always […]

One of my early jobs out of college, I found myself with an entire month and nothing to do. Lucky for me, I had the internet and I’d just stumbled across a cache of digital comics that included the entire original run of Transformers, all 80 issues! As I pored […]

Earlier today I posed the following comic trivia question on Twitter and Facebook: “Who was responsible for the Age of Apocalypse event in X-Men and what did they do?” The answer is this dude (channeling some insane Kid n’ Play hair) and the even is killing his dear old dad: That’s Legion and, […]

So do you think you got the answer right to today’s Guess Who? I posted this on Twitter and Facebook this morning: And here’s the answer: It’s Dazzler! Now, granted, she’s never been an “A” class superhero. Heck, she’s barely been B class, and that’s only because of her X-Men association. But do you […]

So I decided to have some fun today and posted this over on Twitter and my Facebook page: And asked my followers to “Guess who?” Well, as promised (and most of you guessed), here’s the answer! Yup, it’s Mohawk Storm as she appeared in Uncanny X-Men #173. I recently learned […]

Welcome to The Backlog in which I comb through my ridiculously long library of unread titles (and some slightly more recent comics) and ruminate on issues that have been out for years/decades. This week, I tear into Avenging Spider-Man #1, which has a heavy Red Hulk presence. He was in […]
