While initially fearing that the book is nothing but a “kissing” book, the Grandson soon learns it is full of sword fights, near escapes, six-fingered men, Shrieking Eels, Rodents of Unusual Size, revenge, Giants, and yes…true love (or…

Next in our series of possible television and film inclusions comes a character who’s alter-ego has been around as long as Spider-Man has. In fact, his original character helped establish how the young Peter Parker was perceived in high school. That character is Eugene “Flash” Thompson, school bully and general pain in the ass to “puny” Peter Parker. A lot of things have changed for “Flash” since then. Recently, he was known as Agent Venom and then as Anti-Venom. How did this come about? How did the former High School QB and thorn in Pete’s backside become a host for…

Let me start out with, I have watched Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice many times. Whenever it comes on, I’ll stop and watch it. So I like the film for the most part. But there has always been two parts that I have struggled with. One being the “infamous” Martha scene. Anyone who has seen the film knows what I’m talking about. Recently, at The Director’s Cuts” panel at Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design on Sunday, Snyder addressed this much talked about scene and how they came about their reasoning for it. It’s funny, because we, [screenwriter] Chris Terrio…

This is not to say that they would be eliminated forever, but in the beginning, for a fresh approach, it happens. That is the situation with the upcoming David Harbour led Hellboy reboot. In a recent interview with Collider, Hellboy producer Lloyd Levin confirmed that neither Hellboy regulars Abe Sapien or Liz Sherman would appear in the film. That is a major change as the characters have been helping Big Red since the…

The reason given for this was that both actors were just under one season contracts and were brought onboard so that…
