RIP Keith Giffen & Gary Graham

Posted on January 23, 2024 by Steve

The first obit I felt like a complete moron about! I missed all the tributes on Twitter for the passing of Keith Giffen last October! He was one of the funniest writers in the Eighties as he revamped Justice League into … Continue reading →

The Marvels: Must See*

Posted on November 23, 2023 by Steve

*-Screw you shit talkers about MCU. If there’s anything out there that needs to be put out of its misery, it’s SNL. Funny there’s no fatigue for a painfully, not funny TV show or how certain, overrated directors just make the … Continue reading →

Welcome to November 2023!

Posted on November 1, 2023 by Steve

I was really excited about this month’s Header because it’s the 60th anniversary of Josie and the Pussycats debuting as a comic book; ok, it was just called Josie and it was a lazy female version of Archie. The Pussycats shift … Continue reading →

RIP: Arleen Sorkin

Posted on August 28, 2023 by Steve

Sad to see two key voices in Batman’s animated resurgence pass. First, Kevin Conroy, probably one of the three best Batman voices (Adam West and Diedrich Bader). Now we lost the first Harley Quinn. I knew the Joker’s number one … Continue reading →

The Flash: Better than it should be! Worth seeing

Posted on July 4, 2023 by Steve

Not sure if this is the last of the DC movies released under the flailing regime before James Gunn can right the ship. Then again, when a shit bird higher up named Zaslav is making news on how he’s gutting … Continue reading →

Spider-Man sighting today!

Posted on June 4, 2023 by Steve

He truly is a friendly neighborhood kinda’ hero! Here he was giving a high-five to a budding superhero, I’m guessing Spider-Boy, while patrolling Pinballz. I imagine he’s pretty skilled at any game involving those spider-like reflexes. Not sure if his … Continue reading →

What I would’ve given/done for this in 1975

Posted on May 23, 2023 by Steve

I know it’s mostly just cardboard but damn it’s so cool! The elevator alone would be enough to make me beg my parents for a week. As much as I love all the cool Star Wars vehicles made possible by … Continue reading →

Ant-Man…Quantamania: Must See, screw the naysayers!

Posted on April 13, 2023 by Steve

I know I’m late to post this and sadly it’s allegedly MCU’s first major failure or flop or whatever, especially in light of how everybody and their uncle is jumping onboard the “Marvel needs to give it a rest” train. … Continue reading →

Black Adam: Don’t even bother

Posted on November 23, 2022 by Steve

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? If it’s an anti-hero superhero movie for the struggling DC Universe? Then it’s a steaming turd burger covered in cliché sauce and too much exposition! Johnson wants to be the next Ahnold … Continue reading →

RIP Kevin Conroy

Posted on November 13, 2022 by Steve

Sad to hear the person who was the voice of Batman for several decades passed away. Adam West put his mark on the character but Kevin really made Batman synonymous with him since he landed the role for the 1992 afternoon … Continue reading →

If you don’t want to run away…

Posted on August 23, 2022 by Steve

The only person who should try to pull this off would be Jairo, the Brazilian Capoeira teacher from Bob’s Burgers. Even then I think the bear is too formidable for his trademark pony tail whip attack. If you still believe you … Continue reading →

Star Wars meets Rashomon

Posted on July 27, 2022 by Steve

It wouldn’t be the first time George Lucas used the plot of a Kurosawa movie to tell his own “original” story! What the Bith musician Figrin Da’n (I know, after 45 years, every character ever shown in the movies have … Continue reading →

RIP Alan Grant

Posted on July 22, 2022 by Steve

Sad to read the news about this comic book writer passing who oddly had the same name as Sam Neill’s character in Jurassic Park. He was part of DC Comics’ influx of UK-based writers and artists who made comics and superheroes … Continue reading →

RIP George Perez

Posted on May 8, 2022 by Steve

I hope the world gives me a break for a while on all these damned obits I’ve been writing as another great in comic books passed Friday. Sadly, George’s passing was a matter of when since he had been diagnosed … Continue reading →
