Since we bought tickets ages ago, we decided to laugh in the face of the Delta variant of Covid and wade into the partially masked crowds at the Museum of Science and Industry. Actually, they had reservation times spread out probably every ten minutes, so the crowds were fairly spread out and there was plentyContinue reading “Visiting the Marvel Exhibit”

The Time has Come for the Black Widow (a spoiler free review)
You’ve got Ike Perlmutter to blame for the delay, far more than the pandemic. See, Kevin Fiege –the commander in creativity that’s shepherded the MCU into legendary status — wanted the Widow to have her own film years ago, but Perlmutter –chief penny pinching creep for years before being declawed– vetoed a BW movie sayingContinue reading “The Time has Come for the Black Widow (a spoiler free review)”
Excelsior!
I was going to put up competing lists of popular catch phrases and well known sayings from both DC and Marvel characters. And to my surprise, DC had very few of note. I mean sure, Perry White was always yelling “Great Caesar’s Ghost!” And there were some exclamations like “Great Krypton!” and “Great Scott!” butContinue reading “Excelsior!”
Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 4
So, if the cover’s not enough… I was digitally skipping around Amazon when I saw the solicitation. I can only guess they’re putting out the next giant Omnibus continuing the FF’s adventures because the MCU is slowly, ever so slowly prepping the next FF movie. Volume 3 came out not too long before the JoshContinue reading “Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 4”
Different Artists, Same Thing
To close out the gala event that’s been the ALL THING WEEKEND, I’d like to end with a nod to some of the different artists over the years who’ve drawn or sculpted the character. Every artist has his or her own visual take on the character. Here are a few of my favorites… Here’s aContinue reading “Different Artists, Same Thing”
More Thing weekend, more Thing pieces from The Collection!
Today, we feature some of the wonkier bits and pieces from the Thing collection. Some, you may have seen before but frankly, who can keep track… First, this trio from different countries — the front and right figure were, I think, from fast food giveaways, possibly from other countries— I currently have one on theContinue reading “More Thing weekend, more Thing pieces from The Collection!”
All of Alex Ross’ Things spring from Lou’s Head
Comics artist Alex Ross’ realistic painting style is dependent upon photo reference for detail, surface texture, lighting, etc. In the case of the Thing, who he’s painted many times… …he relies on one source and one only, the sculptures of Lou Cella. Years ago, if memory serves, Lou did one Thing bust and I wasContinue reading “All of Alex Ross’ Things spring from Lou’s Head”
“And They Shall Call him…Champion”
Many of you know my admiration for the character of Benjamin Grimm. I’ve got a 155 piece collection of Thing figures, dolls, statues and various items. Yes, I am fond of this character. Why exactly do I and so many others live this guy? If you search YouTube, you’ll find that fans of the ThingContinue reading ““And They Shall Call him…Champion””
I…Am… Ironman
“Tony Stark makes you feel He’s a cool exec with a heart o’ steel As Iron Man, all jets ablaze He’s fightin’ and smitin’ with repulsor rays! Amazin’ armor! That’s Iron Man! A blazin’ power! That’s Iron Man!” That is of course, the catchy lil’ tune from the 1960’s Marvel Super Heroes’ Ironman cartoon. It was aContinue reading “I…Am… Ironman”
Review- Falcon and the Winter Soldier *Spoilers*
This was my most eagerly anticipated series from the MCU/Disney+ stable. Had to really shift gears from WandaVision, as this was a very different story — the story of Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, John Walker, and who gets that shield. Whereas WandaVision was an experimental tour of Wanda’s tragic life as seen through sitcoms, FATWSContinue reading “Review- Falcon and the Winter Soldier *Spoilers*”
