……..is here.
I’ve since learned that there are different types of U.N. ambassadors: some for fantasy characters and some for real ones. DECEMBER 21 UPDATE: Not that it mattered, I see.

“Black Panther” Movie Less Than Two Years Away! :)
I like the casting news!
A lot is expected from this film, and I think Marvel Films, after 13 middling to massive hits, will not let this one falter. I think “Captain America: Civil War,” the greatest Marvel movie yet, did a good job of introducing him.
A Rumor I Hope Is True About The Next “Thor” Movie
I admit that “Planet Hulk” (the animated movie here, for the moment 🙂 , if you want to watch it) will win no awards for originality (it’s essentially Hulk as the star of “Flash Gordon” or “John Carter of Mars”), it’s still arguably the greatest Hulk story ever told. That’s why I hope this rumor is true, and the Silver Surfer (above) will be replaced by a certain Thunder God.
My 27-Word Review Of “Captain America: Civil War”
Best “Captain America” film ever. Best “Avengers” film ever. Best Marvel Films production ever. One of Top Five best superhero movies of all time. Let the arguments begin!
Here’s The “Doctor Strange” Trailer!
YAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Everett K. Ross Joins The Marvel Cinematic Universe
HOORAY! Christopher J. Priest’s funniest creation, by far!
This means that BOTH “Sherlock” leads are now Marvel characters! Geeks rule, forever! 🙂
The Only Super Bowl Ad I Liked
What the hell happened to great Super Bowl ads? This one is the only one I liked.
New “X-Men” Trailer: “X-Men: Apocalypse”
Christopher James Priest Talks About His Time As The Writer Of Marvel’s “Black Panther”
My favorite comicbook author not named Grant Morrison 🙂 talks about his run–my all-time favorite in the 49 years of the character’s existence. Priest’s run that made me a “Black Panther” fan! I no longer collect comics, but I will make an exception for this Priest BP collection!
(And I want to point out that what Priest says in Part One is what I say in my chapter of “Ages of the Avengers.”)
Ta-Nehisi Coates has his work cut out for him! But I’m sure he knows that!
And Now, The Geek News:
Okay, THIS would be the geek news of the month
(with a special note of this grievous wrong “writed” 🙂 )
but, of course, it was superceded by this journalistic-superhero stream crossing!
Coates is one of the greatest nonfiction writers of my generation, but he is a little too, uh, um, mainstream and American for me, so I’m interested to see if fantasy will allow him to really open up, as it were. Marvel’s Black Panther will be the perfect vehicle for that.
