I hope you all enjoyed a merry, and restful, Christmas this year. As a little post-Christmas gift, here’s an odds ‘n’ sods collection of leftover stuff I had accumulated but didn’t get to post before December 25th. This entire week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is still all about the Yuletide vibes anyway, so … Continue reading Christmas Leftovers

Hot Shots of the Week: Magnum P.I.
Magnum P.I. was one of my absolute favorite hour-long dramas on television during my Gen-X childhood, when TV and comic books were often my best friends.

Sure, Zapped! is a cheesy teen sex comedy favorite for many a Gen Xer who grew up watching it in the eighties. That’s not why the post is evergreen, … Continue reading Heather Thomas: ‘80s Icon
Bad Cat, Indeed: Samantha “Sunshine” Jensen Redux
My soft spot for Baby Pfeiffer is legendary, but I’m not alone. My friends and fellow super pfans Kelda, Paul, Juan, and Stacy (RIP), to name just a few, love Baby Pfeiffer with the same sort of fanatical zeal as I do. Every now and then I take a deep dive into the early roles … Continue reading Bad Cat, Indeed: Samantha “Sunshine” Jensen Redux

When lifelong comic book fans get together they are prone to go down rabbit holes, like, “Name the best X-Men artists of all time” or, “Give me your best Batman stories ever.” I’m as guilty as any comics geek when it comes to this tendency to go list-crazy. Recently I was thinking about a comics … Continue reading Super Threads: Five Best Live-Action Super Costumes
