Kevin's Panels in Tremendousness

Welcome again, dear readers. I realize it's been a while since I did this because of what is going on in the world (Pandemic). If you haven't been here before, here's the deal. I take a terrible picture of a panel in a comic book with my phone that is funny to me while I am in the middle of reading. Then I pass along those savings..I mean, fun to you. To make it funnier, I just show the panel completely devoid of any context. Then I goof on it because I love. Who cares what was happening at that moment!? This time we have a real treat. It is probably one of my favorites because this is from the late 70's and it gives you a window into what was hip then. This particular gem is from Fantastic Four #168.

To keep MY mouth fresh, I prefer a minty flavor. Spearmint of course because Peppermint is a tool of the devil.

Look, I may not be an expert in family dynamics, but I don't think if my sibling teased my spouse about not getting any from ME, my go to would be, "Nuh uh. We sexed up right there on that couch next to you this morning". I mean, do you REALLY want to have that level of overshare? I sure don't! So does Sue think she won the argument? Look everyone, get you a spouse that will be your ride or die like good ol' Sue Richards here. The chef's kiss though is saying her brother has a FRESH MOUTH. As an INSULT. Someone makes fun of me from now on, I will question the freshness of their mouths and how it should be...dirty? Wait, I'm all turned around now. Damn you Fantastic Four! What even counts as an insult back then!?

Zack Snyder's Justice League

The moment has come that some had clamored for. The moment I never wanted to see happen. Let me start by saying this. I don't like that this exists because it validates all the toxic fan boys, angry over how Justice League turned out, who cried out for the Snyder's original vision of his movie. I hate that public pressure made this happen. If only people like this would use their power for good. How about more representation? How about better story telling? No, give me that thing that I don't have because I'm going to bully you for it. I love comics, but the community surrounding them can be very toxic and I hate that. I feel like this movie is the manifestation of that. Clearly I have a lot of feelings before even coming into this movie. I will try to be as objective as possible, but remember, these are my opinions and I will feel what I feel. To prep me, I took the crazy step of re-watching the theatrical release of this movie first, so I can have something to compare...

The Inevitable Best and Worst List of 2024 - Part II

Let's carry on with Part II of my year in review. Now we get on to favorite writers, mini-series, events and favorite series and whatevers. Favorite Writer of 2024 Bryan Hill (Blade, Blade: Red Band, Ultimate Black Panther) - I can't put my finger on it, but I think it's because I didn't expect to enjoy these Blade series as much as I did and that is a tribute to the writing. Truthfully, what do we REALLY know about Blade outside of his movies. He's a blank canvas for anyone to write on and I'm glad he's getting a little more love this year. Yes, he was also involved in that Bloodhunt Event you'll hear me mention below, but Bryan Hill wasn't writing that. The most important piece of work this year though, is his Ultimate Black Panther run. I railed in the past about who I think I should write the character, but with this book he has changed my mind. With the Ultimate Universe, it allows him to be free and not be constrained by 40 years of continuity....

Batman Returns - Retro Review

*Editors note: I wrote this over a year ago and didn't get around to posting it. I'm not editing any of my past tense because what fun would that be. Imagine I posted this in 2024. ** A year or two ago, I tried to convince my wife (and myself), that Batman Returns was a Christmas movie. I insisted we watch it, holding this movie in high regard from my childhood. We never finished it then, but a few weeks ago, we did. Let me tell you, your childhood can lie to you. Nostalgia is a potent drug. It makes you forget things. Halfway through the movie, all I could think is, "This movie is so damn stupid." Or "I think I hate this movie." I forgot that maybe a decade ago, I did this same exercise, fooling myself into thinking this was a worthy successor to Batman. It isn't. It's not close. I'm going to get into my reasoning for this. If I were to describe this movie with one word, it'd be bizzare. After the success of the first movie, it's like Wa...
