One of the stupidest storylines in the last decade has definitely been "One More Day," the Spider-Man story where Peter Parker traded his marriage (and unborn child) for the life of Aunt May. Even though the story was quietly shelved afterward and never referred to again, it was never reversed - Spider-Man is still…
Apparently. Maybe. Probably.
I didn't see this on O-Deck or the main page yet, so here it is: Marvel says that there will be "an exclusive piece" from The Avengers: Age of Ultron on Tuesdays Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As you probably are aware, the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer dropped today. At first, it was just a low-res version, but Marvel did the honorable thing and said, "Fuck it, let's release the best version possible." Which is nice of them, dontcha think? In any case, here are the things I learned about the plot of…
So I finished watching the first season of Person of Interest today. I binge-watched the entire season, watching three to five episodes a day and it was well worth it. At first, it was just a case of the week show, but as soon as it started delving into the history of the Machine and Finch and Reese, it became…
So Gotham's first episode has inspired me to look into pilot episodes and the fact that there are very, very few "perfect" pilots. Mostly, pilots tend to rush — they try to introduce all the characters, plus the plot, within 45 to 50 minutes. Some pilots get a longer run time, which is when they slow down and take…
So Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey’s epic run on Moon Knight is over. It lasted six issues and included crazy killers, punk ghosts, weird dreamscapes, and a Giant Fucking Bird Skull. And even though we are sad to see it end, we are happy we got to read it in the first place.
So you remember how after the first Avengers movie wrapped, Joss went and filmed Much Ado About Nothing at his house with his friends? Well, he's sort of doing the same thing now, except with songs instead: he's making a six song EP with musician Shawnee Kilgore.
So I've been thinking a lot about Guardians of the Galaxy and why it worked so well. (Beware, this post will have spoilers.)
Or: Why You Will Never See an Avengers vs. X-Men Movie
So recently I got into an argument on a main page article (here) with another person who insisted that the female Thor and the Falcon Captain America would both be back to regular when Avengers: Age of Ultron came out in May 2015. They insisted they were right 100%. And suddenly I knew a foolproof way to prove them…
Supreme Blue Rose is a new Image comic from Warren Ellis and Tulay Lotay. What is it about? Well, um, that's kind of hard to explain. Spoilers below!
With the announcement of a female Thor and a black Captain America, I thought this might be a good time to talk about legacy characters. First, let me say what a legacy character is: a character whose name/title has been passed down, sometimes for generations. For example, Buffy Summers is a legacy character because…
So as you probably have already seen, Joss drew some Buffy on a napkin for a fellow Twitterer (Tweeter? Twit? Whatever). And now he has done it again, only this time with Firefly.
So Gail Simone is ending her run on Batgirl soon. But she has something new coming out as well that she hasn't been able to talk about, except to say that it involves another redhead. Today, however, she was finally able to provide some hints as to what it was:
On Twitter, someone summoned Joss and wished for more Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And lo, he did appear and grant their wish:
The Life After is a new series from Oni Press written by Joshua Hale Fialkov (The Bunker, Ultimate FF) and drawn by Gabo. It is, as the title suggests about the afterlife...or, rather, an afterlife. (Spoilers below.)
The United States of Murder, Inc. is a new alternate history crime noir comic from Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming. Basically: five powerful crime families took over most of the East Coast in the '60s and seceded from the US. They are now called the "Territories." Valentine Gallo grew up in the…
I've noticed that caseyjonescaseyjones reviews a lot of Marvel comics, but no indie ones. So I will try my hand at reviewing the ones I read. Trees is the new science fiction comic written by Warren Ellis and penciled/inked/colored by Jason Howard. The plot is...well, at once simple and complicated. (Spoilers Below)
