Here is is! Just 6 months late this time, I’m getting a bit better. But seriously, Terminal Engagement has been a beast. It’s a lesson in what happens when a plot-point that’s supposed to be resolved in the first act of a four-act play grows to eat up the entire thing. The result is, I … More Terminal Engagement Is Now Up!
Don’t get excited, it’s not available in hardback. Yet. So Week 1 of the Rising Tides release is over, and, wow. I’ve got to say I didn’t expect this. Hoped for it, you bet, but with the book over a year late, and not an Astra story, I was sort of wondering how much enthusiasm … More Yes Capes!
It’s done. Over a year late and the source of such frustration I almost abandoned it a couple of times, but it’s done. By “done” I mean that my first full draft is completed and is now being read by several trusted alpha-readers, which means that Capes: Rising Tides is now about 2-3 weeks from … More Announcing CAPES: RISING TIDES.
Last Monday, I and a friend who have made a ritual of catching every Marvel Movie in the theater together went and caught The Marvels. Preparing for it, I did my usual thing which is to completely ignore all pre-release hype and post-release criticism; I try and see each new movie with no preconceptions of … More The Marvels Is Fun, But Not Marvelous.
Soooo. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’s first season is over, with quit the final episode, too. And what’s my verdict? Well . . . I give it 3 out of 5 stars. And yes, this puts me at odds with Marvel fans on both sides, the fans (and writers) who have been boosting SHAAL as a … More Hulking Out
Samaritan is a fun superhero yarn. In superhero comics, you can’t look too close at the underlying logic; if you do, you lose suspension of disbelief needed to immerse yourself in the story. In Samaritan, you’re given a quick history you can’t look at too closely. Two brothers, who John (Stallone) describes as “genetic freaks” … More The Good Samaritan
When I heard Disney was doing a She-Hulk series I was ecstatic and very, very worried. Not that I spent a whole lot of emotional energy on it, but I really loved She-Hulk in the comics when I discovered her during John Byrne’s fantastic run. JB’s She-Hulk was comedy gold. She-Hulk was the “Anti-Hulk.” She … More Don’t Hulk on She-Hulk
So I waited until I could see the entire first season at once and binge-watched Ms. Marvel in a couple of nights (my favorite way of viewing the MCU’s mini-series offerings). I wasn’t expecting that much from it; something as actiony and intermittently lighthearted as Hawkeye, perhaps. I was pleasantly surprised. Ms. Marvel is “the … More Don’t Miss this Marvel!
So I’ve seen Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness. And overall it was good. I enjoyed it (see my comments on the Wearing the Cape Facebook Group page). But . . . I don’t think I like where the MCU is going and MOM is only the latest example of the problem. Hear me out. … More It’s Madness, I tells you! Madness!
