The [Bat Week]ly Worship: Gotham’s Latest Reckoning!

Anyone else go back, read some old Batman (or Secret Six) tales and think of Tom Hardy's intoxicatingly muffled parlance when reading Bane's dialogue? Didn't think so. Well, try it! It's more fun this way, if you dare. We last saw Bane heading to Arkham in a Gotham PD paddywagon after Six scribe Gail Simone sent (forced, perhaps) the rest …

The Weekly Worship: Breaking the Bad with our -final- SDCC Goods!

Not even the cast of last year's biggest breakthrough program, Breaking Bad, knows what's in store for their final 16. "We don't ask and [Vince Gilligan] doesn't tell us and we like it that way." That suspense is what makes this terrific team so enjoyable to watch, and just as magnificent in their first-ever Comic Con appearance. Bryan …

The Weekly Worship: The other ‘Spider’ man returns!

This is exactly what the UFC needs. While the company has obviously monopolized the rest of the fight industry with thrice-monthly shows, unprecedented merchandising, and a spectacular global audience, the fight fed hasn’t garnered much water-cooler talk since Ben Henderson’s “upset” over Frankie Edgar back in February. And even that battle couldn’t share bunks with the …

Shazam!, Spider-MEN, and our Fri Con Sched’, man.

DC Comics has done a wonderful job in the past 10 months keeping pace with their web-tastic friends over in New York. Certainly, what a difference a year makes. One immediate glaring difference are the few books that cost $3.99. All of DC's extra-cost floppies include a back-up story. Action Comics, Batman, All-Star Western, and Justice …

The Weekly Worship: Comic Con 2012’s Bringin’ Da Galaxy!

I was wrong. Marvel's big splash won't be another Hulk movie/remake. Well, while that option's still possible, it's more than likely we'll be seeing a whole ton of Banner in Iron Man 3. And since you remember the brilliant bipolar brain leaving with Tony towards the end of the World's Greatest Geek Film, that would probably be …

The Weekly Worship: Hell, our Dads!

Superheroes are typically driven by the father figures in their life, and, often, they tend not to be blood-related. Uncle Ben, Jonathan Kent, and, hell, even Alfred Pennyworth all served the mantle of "super idol to the stars" just fine. But, what about the Pops who not only have to deal with saving the galaxy …
