    I did like Diana's costume design and general look in the film, probably the best pants design I've seen, and the mannerism has been dialed way back. As for the film itself, it was based on...

    Pines of the Appian Way was meant to conjure an image of marching legions. Superman doesn't have legions. Wonder Woman does, at least sometimes.

    I was around then, in my early teens. The 1970s were a grim time for animated superheroes. There was a great deal of handwringing about 'violence' in children's programming at the time, and most of...

    Always wondered why they didn't use Medea as the villain. Circe might be redeemable. A lot harder sell with Medea.

    The Death of Stalin. Great performances by an ensemble of veteran actors given a very dark and hilarious script. Steve Buscemi's Khrushchev and Jason Isaacs as Marshal Zhukov are especially...

    Her flaws are virtues run amok. She always tries too hard. Takes her a long time to recognize a no win situation. Very overconfident. Fine tactitian, not so great strategist.

    For me, one of the most offensive things about the Azzarello run was that it depicted Amazons raiding seagoing ships with smokestacks, well beyond the age of sail. They killed the crews and the...

    I am not enjoying whatever DC is doing right now, and the current universe seems to have spun off of Dark Death something-or-other and does not interest me.

    That said, this book is gorgeous, and I...

    This whole list is a good start. 'Amazon' should be like 'Kryptonian', 'New God', or 'Daxamite', a race that comes with inherent superpowers. Diana is first among equals, any blessings she gets...

    Always thought they were a concept that was pitifully underused and easily updated for the 21st century. Greek campus life is a bit fraught these days, but having the Holliday Girls be a women's...

    So the pandemic is conquered, the theatres are back to full speed, and the first film you want to see on the big screen is Nomadland? That's what I thought.

    Was the Earth One version of Psycho supposed to be Nick Cave? He looked like Nick Cave to me. There was an awful lot of gratuitous weirdness in Morrison's writing, but Nick Cave as Dr. Psycho...

    With Azzarello, the character of the book he wrote was such that I doubt it even ought to count as a Wonder Woman book. It simply did not strike me as a good faith effort to come to grips with her...

    I don't expect strict fidelity to Greek mythology in the WW comic. But if public domain characters are going to appear in the book, then use them.
