or decades, Luke Cage was a stereotype. Let’s call it like it is. It wasn’t just the way he talked. Everything he did from the way he carried himself to the villains he fought was a symptom of the era. A time where Marvel Comics was capitalizing on Blaxploitation movies to sell a character. Without the genre, why would anyone care about Luke Cage? Well, they didn’t…
Listening to his post, Boosie sounds like it’s his dick that’s going to be cut off. The amount of emotion that Boosie has about this is perplexing. Come to think of it, it’s no surprise that someone who has spent so much time in jail would be obsessed with protecting dicks. I’m not sure Captain Save-a-dick needed to hop into action here, Mr. Badass… please take your cape off.
Birds of Prey is like an acid trip. Before you jump to conclusions, that wasn’t exactly a compliment. Depending on your connection with the characters featured throughout, Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (say that three times fast… go on, I dare you!) is either a bad acid trip or a good one. For all of its loud, adrenaline-filled action, it seemed to be missing a certain something that would leave you wanting more… or make you care if there is going to be a sequel.
The trailer for the… *chuckle* highly anticipated Morbius movie dropped today… what? You have no idea who Morbius is? Don’t feel bad. I’ve been a comic fan for my entire life and I barely know who Morbius is. I am pretty sure I’ve never read a comic with him in it. To scores of 90’s Spider-Man cartoon fans, he […]
How could Disney finally debut the highly anticipated and potentially Netflix killing Disney Plus streaming service and not provide the content that fans everywhere have been clamoring for? It’s like parking your car, walking up to a Pizza Hut/Taco Bell full of glee just to find out the damn thing is now a Comcast customer service center… but we don’t talk about that. That day is now referred to as White Tuesday. Screw this, I’m boycotting until Disney gives us the content we need. My list of demands are simple:

The Boys has been a project I’ve been waiting for since I read volume 1 Name of the Game. Amazon picked up the comic book and turned it into a TV show. There’s an issue with a comic book becoming a movie or a show. How much of the source material will be used in the project? The Boys is a series that has be handled with delicacy. There are certain things that need to be in the show to keep authenticity. This series did an amazing job of combining the source material and making a show with a ton of potential. With this season only being 8 episodes, you have to get into things pretty quick. So things have to be changed.

If you don’t know, I love Kitty Pryde. I mentioned it on the previous podcast and to anyone who’ll listen. Issue No. 2 of the Marauders series just amplified that love for the character. Kate Pryde became the new Red Queen. That means she’s now part of the new council on Krakoa. Much to the chagrin of Sebastian Shaw. Her new position isn’t the only interesting change. It’s her personality as well.
Previously, on The Culture Comic Book News podcast, Old Man Wade and The Superior Woke Octavius discussed the new run of X-Titles. The six new X-titles are X-Men, New Mutants, Marauders, Fallen Angels, X-Force, and Excalibur. Since House of X and Powers of X were both incredible, there was going to be some pressure for those runs to be just as good. Those six comic books also have to carry continuity from the House of X and Powers of X. If the first issues of these runs are any indication of what’s to come, we’ll be in good hands. However, some of us may not have the loot to spend $3.99 or more every week on comics. So I’ll give you the 3 Old Man Wade X-titles to follow.

It’s all about Spider-Man and Sony! Is this a good idea? Probably not, but who knows. Also, does the Blade trilogy still hold up? Is Natalie Portman a good pick as Jane Foster Thor? More!

Batwoman has finally arrived on The CW but is she friend or foe? She is definitely a friend. A friend that kicks a somewhat impressive amount of ass in this pilot episode.
