Chris Walker — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 12:00:26 +0000

Welcome back to Strange Times & Places, where this week we’re once more dipping our toes into the Amalgam Age of Comics with Legends of Dark Claw #1! How’s It Different? Like JLX and Spider-Boy before it, it is an Amalgam – a deliberate and literal blend of two separate characters into one. It doesn’t…

Scripting Errors: Michael Chabon’s X-Men

Chris Walker — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 13:00:01 +0000

Welcome back to Scripting Errors, where we look at movies that might have been! Today’s entry would more accurately be called a MisTreatment, since I selected a 19 page X-Men treatment (the first step in the script writing process) rather than a full script. This post is illustrated with fan art by Scott Ngo, check…

Avengers Versus X-Men: Cyclops Was Right!

Sean Pigeon — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:00:09 +0000

Avengers vs. X-Men has reached its conclusion, leaving the intrepid Cyclops rotting in a cell. A fitting result for the leader of the X-Men?

My Golden Age: Our Hero Misses the Wounded Wolverine

Sean Pigeon — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 11:00:04 +0000

Growing up, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Wolverine. I didn’t not like him, I just tended to lean towards a different set of characters. Every kid I knew loved Michelangelo from the Turtles, my favorite was Leonardo. When G.I. Joe was huge, every kid loved Snake Eyes, my loyalty was and will always be…
