It’s Comic-Con weekend, and the Podwits AREN’T THERE! Nope, instead, Brian and Dion are podcasting from home, blabbing about Brian’s predictions for the Eisner Awards (see if he was right!), the new-platform “television” shows that got Emmy nominations, digital comics, and more, on a brand-new awards season episode of the Podwits podcast!

I know now that it was the summer of 1965 when it all changed. As a matter of fact, I can point to the one exact panel that, I believe, truly began the five-year reign of Stan “the Man” Lee and Jack “King” Kirby as unchallenged champions of the superhero comic world. But let me back […]

“Welcome True Believers!” I recently had the luck to travel over to Los Angeles with Podwits contributor J. Blake on what proved to be one of the most exciting, and rewarding trips that I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. The bulk of that is due to the GREAT content we were able to gather and will be […]

On the Podwits Podcast, we don’t examine the greater mysteries of life, the universe and everything. Mainly because the computer that we were using for such things was destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass, but we digress. Instead, we look at the bigger picture of pop culture; where our movies are going and […]

Join Brian every other Tuesday as he talks comic books from a reader’s perspective, both his new experiences with the medium and reflections on over thirty years of enjoying the finest in sequential art. I’ve made no secret of the fact I’m not a fan of “New Wave” science fiction. Don’t get me wrong, the […]

Real life conspired to delay my gratification, but yesterday, ten days after its nationwide American release, I finally saw The Avengers. By now, reams* have been written about how good the movie is, how thoroughly it entertains on multiple levels thanks to its snappy Whedonesque dialogue, its insightful Whedonesque explorations of character relationships, and its […]

Yesterday I did what seems like my civic duty (after all everyone’s doing it) and went to see The Avengers. This film had a lot going for it before I even got into the theater, so to say that I really wanted to like this movie is an understatement. First, and foremost, it had the potential to […]

Ever since those old “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” commercials came out, some enterprising folks immediately capitalized on them and made an analogy between the two big comics companies, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. For anyone who has read on both sides of that aisle, the differences can be very much like night […]
