There are a few surprises in Iron Man 3. There is always a risk with messing with expectations when it comes to comic book movies but Shane Black and the writing team make it work. I enjoyed Iron Man 3. It’s easily the strongest of the Iron Man sequels. The original retains the title of […]
Cute DC and Marvel counterparts
This is an excellent collection of art and insight by Darren Rawlings. He’s partnered up DC and Marvel heroes so that… well, so that they’re good counterparts. It strikes me as a good exercise for when you’re stuck on a plain, train or in an automobile. You pick a DC hero and you pal has […]
