I've recovered from my over-reaction yesterday to Marty not getting an Oscar. He and I will survive, I think. I'm still in a linking mode, for some reason. A comic and cinema-related link: Bob Evans and Stan Lee to make superhero franchise [EDIT: Empire no longer stores this page]. Why?…
Marty missed out again, making it the third time an actor-director has beaten him to the director Oscar, after Robert Redford with the boring Ordinary People, and Kevin Costner, who went on to make The Postman. The other two times he lost to Barry Levinson, who directed Toys and Sphere,…
Blog notice: I've added a bunch of blogs to the links list, most importantly adding Tom the Dog to the list after all this time, which is incredibly embarrassing as he is not only one of the guys I enjoy reading the most but he was the first guy to…
My brain is all over the place today, so no real new content today. Instead, some links and turgid commentary. Here is an article [EDIT: link no longer exists] about those lovely comedy chaps, Mitchell & Webb. I've previously shared my love for their TV show (and their radio show…

CBR has the full list for all your cover & blurb requirements. Let's get stuck in, shall we? JMS gets hold of another long-standing title in the Marvel universe, starting with Fantastic Four #527, which might have fans who've read his Spider-Man a little worried, but it gives me the…
There aren't as many comics as for DC and Marvel, but I thought I'd have a try at the Image comics for May, found here at CBR, especially after getting a taste for it in this post. Here we go: Shadowhawk #1. Does the world really need more Shadowhawk? When…
There's some items I read that hit me and I have the urge to remember it, just in case I forget or need to proof to back up my failing memory. That's what these sort of posts are for – helping me with my senility. Firstly, a review of Nathan…
