1997 wasn’t the best year for comic book movies. Spawn certainly didn’t do much to help. We revisit the film… Mark Dippe made his directorial debut withSpawn. Very kind of you, Mark. Listening to a commentary on a film likeSpawnis interesting. Thats that nobody sets out to make a bad movie. Spawnis a staggeringly poor film. TheSpawncomic was a huge hit and a big budget movie and a cartoon version soon followed....
Agents of SHIELD season 3 promises us an Inhumans heavy storyline. We trace their road to Marvel movie stardom. A talking tree and a raccoon in space? But Marvel knew what they were doing. The Guardians of the Galaxy appeared on the Avengers cartoon a year or so before the movie hit. Rocket Raccoon was shoved intoUltimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3at a time when the character was in limbo. Marvel even gave the previously obscure property to their top writer at the time, Brian Michael Bendis....
Doctor Who series 9’s first rating number didn’t seem too high at first glance. Furthermore, there have been 1.53m requests to view the programme on iPlayer.

Congratulations on a great film. Fun, isnt it? Ad content continues below What I liked is that it has such a humane, uplifting tone. There arent any villains in it as such. Well, Mars is a killer but thats it. Yeah, its a cold, uncaring universe. Its a beautiful, beautiful monster. But dont try it! Fearing death, trying to cheat death, and not always succeeding. I thinkThe Counselloris particularly stressful, but thats the point....

Here’s why they could work… In some ways, 1994sThe Maskwas ahead of its time. FourSupermanfilms (only two of which were, and still are, widely-loved)? But lets rewind a little bit here. For starters, lets look at howThe Maskmanaged to be faithful to the comics it lifted from.
Rick and Morty show absurd reverence for a not-so-classic horror movie. What I appreciate most about this episode is that it has a narrow focus. This means the coreThe Purgeplot really gets to breathe. The focused nature of the plot means it gets to ramp up the tension gradually. It also feels like a genuinely high-stakes situation when Ricks ship is stolen and hes shot in the liver. Its a shame how briefly that feeling lasts....
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s current Batman run is full of B-list villains with a rich history. We take a look at their greatest moments! Towards the end of the interview, I asked them about B-list villains. At that point, Zero Year, their Batman origin story, had just ended with a bang. The arc had reintroduced both Red Hood and Doctor Death with new looks and new mission statements. I was in love with the reinvention of Doctor Death, from evil scientist to crazed skeleton monster....
Today is Batman Day! In case you havent noticed, DC Comics is making a big deal out of it. No matter the medium, the birth of this legend continues to endlessly fascinate. It also was crucial due to the time it was published in. The same yearReturnswas published,Crisis on Infinite Earthswas wrapping up its massive housecleaning of the DC mythos. Miller arguably sees Batman as the same thing, but he doesnt necessarily have a problem with it....

Ive always wanted to write that. I should have had a penpal when I was younger. Im going to call this trend being the girl one. Or, if you prefer, the village female. As such, they had no use for this new fangled television nonsense. I never gave much thought to the idea that peas could be sexist. How wrong I was. Even a show about something as harmless as sentient vegetables manages to sneak a token woman one in there....
