I made a meme, please steal it.

November 19, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

Hi! I’m just hopping on to say that I made a little meme. This little meme right here. Should it go viral, please let me know, since this represents how I feel aptly right now.

Comics readers are snubbing superheroes, and I’m sad (with no disrespect to Raina Telgemeier)

October 20, 2019October 20, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

“Evolve or die!” This is true for comics as it is any other medium. According to a recent article by Forbes, data is showing that, for pretty much the first time since the 10-Cent Plague,[…]

We’re finally getting a BONE animated series, because f*ck yeah

October 17, 2019October 17, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to Jeff Smith and his team at Cartoon Books, and also to YOU, dear member of the public, because Bone will doubtlessly be an amazing animated experience. In[…]

The JOKER movie is pretentious, gross, and tone-deaf, but it’s still a well-made film.

October 5, 2019October 5, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

Against my better judgement, since the trailers just made it look like a noxious movie-watching experience, I decided to see Joker yesterday. What I saw is a movie that is an insult to the mentally[…]

Fans of Marvel and fans of oxygen have had a helluva week.

August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

By now anyone without web in their eyes has read the truly shocking and equally tragic news that the deal between Marvel Studios and Sony to share the rights of Spider-Man is no more, and[…]

Art Spiegelman is right and the Folio Society are cowards (and maybe Marvel, too)

August 19, 2019August 20, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

Let’s be clear about something; when Art Spiegelman agrees to write for you, you do not censor him, especially when he is speaking truth. He is legendary comics creator Art Spiegelman, and you are not.[…]

I am still not okay from last week’s mind-blowing House of X #2, send help

August 14, 2019August 14, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

This morning before work, I picked up today’s copy of Powers of X #2. The comic shop had no copies available to anyone who didn’t reserve it beforehand; each and every copy was reserved by[…]

One more X-related post; I got my “Krakoa seeds,” did you?

August 2, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

It’s a bit late in the summer to be planting seeds, but this is a cool marketing idea. Not since the release of Ferngully: The Last Rainforest have I gotten seeds as a media tie-in[…]

Powers of X, and I shall smugly remind you that it’s pronounced “Powers of Ten,” you filthy casuals

August 2, 2019August 2, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

Okay, so directly following last week’s House of X #1 was Powers of X #1, released yesterday. Oh boy. It is so. dang. weird. Last time I stated that Jonathan Hickman’s writing isn’t really for[…]

So, House of X #1…huh.

July 29, 2019July 29, 2019 Jack PhoenixComics

The mutant event of the decade is finally upon us, and the only thing that could make me happier is if Jonathan Hickman’s style were really my thing. Unfortunately, it is not. But just because[…]
