With this "Heroic Age" dawning in the Marvel Universe, every comics fan is looking forward to a new grand era of can-do, gung-ho, happy-go-lucky, cheese-and-bacon flavored superheroes, because for the last few years the Marvel U. has pitted brother against brother ... Asgardian against technocrat ... vigilante versus claws ... Super-Soldier versus bullet. But now, at last, it's going to be just like the old days ... when every hero was ever-ready to team up with another, to fight together for

KC Carlson, a former DC Comics editor and current columnist for the Westfield Comics website (as well as husband of Comics Worth Reading's Joanna Draper Carlson), put into words exactly what I've been feeling about DC lately in his most recent Previews recommendations column for the Westfield site: ...

Published May 28, 2010 at 12:22 a.m.

Something criminal has been brought to my attention. With recent direct to video animated features like Green Lantern: First Flight, Wonder Woman and Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, you'd think it was only a matter of time before someone as popular as Batgirl got her own film. Guess what? Turns out Warner Bros. was planning on that very thing but CHANGED THEIR MINDS. Gather your proverbial ...

I received a very well-written response to my Ryan Choi post from a reader calling himself Diabolu Frank, and rather than let it languish in the comments, I'm going to run it here, and then give my reactions at the end: ... I'm big on racial politics and the need for non-white characters to play a major role in comic book universes. I'm also opposed to handing out token memberships to minorities via dubious legacies. The latter rarely works out as well as a Mr. Terrific, who has completely

There was a way to do this properly, DC, and this wasn't it ... Yeesh ... Honestly, though, is there anyone out there who thinks Ray Palmer is actually more interesting than Ryan Choi? Because unless you're talking about the version of Ray that John C. McGinley voiced on Justice League Unlimited, or the one that dressed like a barbarian, rode around on a frog, and bedded a diminutive yellow alien princess, you're wrong ...

Kate Beaton's recent discovery of the harpoon-handed version of Aquaman struck me as funny - well, funnier, as the strip itself was hilarious - because it managed to coincide with my own re-discovery of Cranky, Pointy Arthur Curry, and we both came to the same conclusion: this Aquaman is pretty cool, much moreso than current reaction to that particular story direction would have you believe ... On the one hand, I get it ... In the 90s rush to make nearly every character dark, edgy, and cool,
