Thought this was fun. (Non-geeks probably don’t know that the guy with the lawnmower is Chris Claremont, who is second only to Stan and Jack in the world of “X-Men.”) Can’t wait to see him in “Avengers!”

Mini-Reviews of "The New 52!": "Batwing," No. 1 and "Static Shock," No. 1
Interestingly enough, these two comics read almost exactly the same. Is it because they’re Black characters? Nope. It’s because “The New 52” seems to be following a specific—1990s?—pattern of storytelling for No. 1: start with alotta action, then introduce plot, characters, etc. and end with an action-packed cliffhanger. (Batwing’s ending is, ah, sharp. ;)) I hope someone 12 is hooked. Because I want to support Black superheroes AND because I really like these characters AND because I see really good potential with Batwing, I’ll be following—and collecting—their entire respective runs.
The "Real" Cornel West?
So….. was Cornel West kidnapped by aliens for 20 years, and now brought back in time for Attica? LOL! 🙂
If There's Ever Gonna Be A "Luke Cage" Movie One Day…..
……it should be a little better than this. 😉 But I liked this anyway, particularly the (classic continuity) yellow shirt! Thanks to Malik for sending me this!
Gulp! "Civilize?"
"DC Comics: The New 52": Is This Trip Really Necessary?
Okay, so I read a few pages of “Justice League” No. 1, out on Aug. 31. (And boy, DC must be desperate to pull a “Harry Potter”esque midnight release!) It’s great. But at 43, do I really want to see the Justice League form AGAIN?!? Do I want to read (as in, BUY, READ AND COLLECT) Clark Kent falling in love with Lois Lane AGAIN?!? I hope this strategy works, and I hope DC saves comics (and with it, my local comics store). I really do. But I’m only in for the Black books (and, okay, maybe “Superman” and “Action Comics” —but only because I love the work of Grant Morrison and George Perez!—and, well, maybe…… 🙂 )
Lord, "Help" Us :)
Since I loved “Captain America,” with its desegregated (!) military, I’m on no moral ground to criticize this movie. (Although, having said that: did we really need to see a film about a grown up Scout? LOL! All these people don’t think so. So, now, in 2011, The “Magic Negroes” are now maids? AUUUGGGHHH!!!!) I did, however, enjoy Viola Davis’ frankness here.

Great Ceasar's Ghost!
O-Kay. Well, I guess if a Black man can be Nick Fury, then why not?
C'Mon, Tavis…….
