Arrow Season 3: Five Villains and How They Can Be Used!

August 23, 2014 by Drew Narayanan Leave a Comment

Arrow has kicked off with two great seasons. Season 1 gave us Ollie’s origins and his experiences on the island. It recreated the “Dark Archer” as the vengeful Malcolm Meryln and actually gave him a purpose (unlike the comics). Season 2 was amazing with Manu Bennet’s Slade Wilson/Deathstroke upping the stakes for the Arrow and his team. Clearly The CW knows how to use its villains for this show. After all they’ve included Bronze Tiger, China White, The Clock King, Deadshot and many other DC favorites. Given Queen’s small roster of iconic villains, what new villains are going to challenge the Arrow this season? Here’s a list of some baddies who could give Ollie a run for his money.

Batgirl Enters a Brave New World

July 20, 2014 by Kurt Bali 1 Comment

The world of comics was given a mainstream kick in this pants this week when Marvel announced on The View it was adding boobs to Thor and melanin to Captain America on the Colbert Report. Beneath the arguments of sexism and racism and cries of selling out and loss of originality, fans may have forgotten the week started with a small announcement regarding one Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl.

Questions of the Week: Super Deluxe Mega Version of Answering Reader Emails!

June 19, 2014 by Dave Leave a Comment

Normally I like to dive in depth into one question a week, but you guys have been bringing the heat to the point that it’s time for a “Questions of the Week” super post. If you’ve asked a question recently, there’s a pretty good chance it’s in here. And if not, it probably means you’re one of the legions of men and women who keep asking for my phone number. I told you all, this meat is off the market! (because it’s rotten…?) [Read more…] about Questions of the Week: Super Deluxe Mega Version of Answering Reader Emails!

Question of the Week: What Do I Read Between Civil War & Secret Invasion?

June 13, 2014 by Dave 4 Comments

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about a proper reading order for the period in Marvel history between Civil War and Secret Invasion. It’s almost like you’re saying there’s a gap between January 2007 (when Civil War ends) and June 2008 (when Secret Invasion begins). Sometimes I just don’t understand you guys and gals.

Although World War Hulk falls in between the events, it’s a lot more self-contained of an event with fewer universe-wide implications. This entire time period can probably be best described as “The Initiative,” the period following Civil War with Iron Man’s Superhuman Registration Act in full effect.

So to paraphrase a Twitter question: [Read more…] about Question of the Week: What Do I Read Between Civil War & Secret Invasion?

Question of the Week: How Do Character Reading Orders Fit in With the Guide?

June 4, 2014 by Dave Leave a Comment

Good question this week that I haven’t done a great job explaining. I’ve been on the grind lately working up some Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man and X-Men reading orders in connection with the recent films. As a result, Hags asks:

Can you explain (or point me in the direction where you have already explained) How your specific reading orders (i.e. x-men or spider-man) fit in with your complete Marvel reading guide?  Are these a part of the guide, just pulled out and separated for fans of the individual series that might not want to read all of the other titles?
