If I Wrote Agents of SHIELD Season Two

August 31, 2014 by Dave 9 Comments

Let’s face it guys and girls: Agents of SHIELD Season One was disappointing. With a capital DISAPPOINT. Yes, things started to “Turn, Turn, Turn” following Captain America 2, but that simply saw Agents of SHIELD progress from a massive disappointment to a passable show filled to the brim with potential. The fact that the writers and showrunners seemed comfortable admitting they had to wait 17 EPISODES to finally get interesting (because of the Cap 2 movie tie-in) is completely and utterly…

You know what? This isn’t about Season One anymore. It’s in the past, and we’ll never watch it again, even though the DVD was just released (seriously: not a DVD you need, although 4 and a half stars on 800 Amazon reviews is STUNNING). It’s time to focus on how we make Agents of SHIELD awesome for Season Two, which begins September 23rd. I have some ideas: [Read more…] about If I Wrote Agents of SHIELD Season Two

On Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s “Illusion of Change”

April 12, 2014 by Dave 5 Comments

I’m angry. Not like Hulk-angry, or feral Wolverine, but maybe Beast after a BAMF! gets into his lab.

I spent a jog listening to Grantland Network’s “Do You Like Prince Movies” podcast today to hear their take on Cap 2. Alex Pappademas and Wesley Morris are smart, intellectual film and culture critics who always have something interesting to say.

But I was a bit shocked how vehemently I disagree with most of the arguments raised against Captain America: The Winter Soldier. [Read more…] about On Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s “Illusion of Change”

Monday Morning Comic Rack: The Digital Comics Revolution Is Winning

July 7, 2013 by Dave 3 Comments

“I just like having it in my hands.”

If I’m saying this it means one of two things: 1) I’m defending myself after my wife complains about me having my hands down my pants in broad daylight or 2) I’m explaining why I prefer print books to digital.

I’ll never stop shoving my hands down my pants (I’m my own man! What’s that? Dirty dishes? I’m on it, honey!), but digital comic book reading may have won me over this past week. Here’s why.

Digital Done Right: Marvel Announces Unlimited Android App & Dark Horse Perfects Free Comic Book Day

Two awesome moves in the world of digital comics yesterday: 1) Marvel announced the release of their Marvel Unlimited Android app & 2) Dark Horse let fans know they are giving away their free comic book day issues digitally.

Marvel’s Fantastic Freemium: Why Giving it Away Sets the Comic Publisher Apart

April 15, 2013 by Dave 1 Comment

Marvel Comics has been giving away a LOT of free stuff lately. And not just your standard “here’s an old issue of a second-tier story” digital giveaway.

Recent Marvel freebies have included every #1 issue in their publishing history, as well as the starting issues of their digital Infinite Comics line.

As a fan, this is clearly great. But is this a sustainable business model for Marvel, and is it good for the comic book industry as a whole? [Read more…] about Marvel’s Fantastic Freemium: Why Giving it Away Sets the Comic Publisher Apart
