Out of the Vault – Shazam! #11
Last week, I talked about Werner Roth, a guy I’d always thought of as the most boring artist ever. Turned out, when looking back, that I realized he wasn’t bad when he was working within his genre. He’d just never … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – X-Men, Part 2
Continuing this week with the second chapter of our three-part look at Brian Singer’s X-Men from 2000. When we left off, Logan–the ronin-like wandering cage fighter also known as Wolverine–had ended up in Professor Charles Egg-Saviour’s School for Gifted Youngsters … Continue reading

Super Movie Monday – Return of the Vampire
