Marvel’s Inhumans is Literally Out of This World – And There’s a Teleporting Dog!

When Arnim Zola showed up as a series of computer screens in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I thought there was absolutely no way on Earth that Marvel could top themselves with crazy, obscure, bizarre characters making it to the mainstream. Now that I’ve seen previews of Inhumans, I stand corrected. Lockjaw, a giant, teleporting dog, is making his way to the small screen this month! Continuing its entertainment domination with major motion pictures, Netflix …

Netflix’s Marvel Shows Aren’t Just for Superhero Fans (or How to Get Your Friends to Binge Watch The Defenders)

by Andrew Kardon

My name is Andrew and I am a comic book geek. That means that even if Marvel puts out the craziest movies and TV shows based on obscure characters like Ant-Man or Iron Fist, I’m first in line.

by Andrew Kardon

“I gave her my heart. She gave me a pen.” Wiser words have never been spoken on the Big Screen, and if you’re a fan of John Cusack or the ’80s, those two short sentences speak volumes. They come from 1989’s Say Anything, which cued a perfect ending to the perfect Bubble Gum Decade. Yes, the ’80s. Atari. Bubble Yum. Cartoons. Star Wars. And the land of horrifically awful (yet I loved every single one) sitcoms. …

Supergirl Brings Out My Inner Comic Geek

by Andrew Kardon

I have a secret to tell you. I know it’s hard to believe, but I”m kind of a big comic book geek. No, no. It’s true. Thing is, as much as I love comic books, my least favorite superhero of all time has always been Superman. By extrapolation, that includes Superboy, Supergirl, Krypto the Super Dog and yes, even Beppo the Super Monkey. So while I am in love with the CW’s The Flash (best …
