A dark moment from Storm's past was unveiled in an obscure X-Men story by Chris Claremont, and this week I detail how he didn't pay the idea off until almost eight years later. Also, this page from Special Edition X-Men was referenced in the text of my article, but didn't seem to survive the final edit...
This week at CBR, I look at the forgotten Simpsons crossover from the 1990s (and talk about The Critic because not enough people talk about The Critic).
Hey, my short story was one of the ones selected by reedsy for their weekly flash fiction contest. The prompt was to write a short story told only through dialogue. Let me know what you think! https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/contests/76/submissions/50140/
My new series Nostalgia Snake continues at CBR, where I look at the early 2000s Dreamwave revival of The Transformers.
This week, I revisit the Justice League Unlimited adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' famous "For the Man who has Everything." Hey, where's Jason Todd?
This week at CBR, I delve into Frank Miller's partially nuts Batman: Year One script, and discover the editors want you using "sex worker" instead of "prostitute." I didn't follow the script's lead and use "whores" repeatedly, though.
Is there anything animated from the '90s I can't exploit for an article? I revisit the USA Network's Duckman, a show that's seemingly been erased from the history of adult animation.
I'm revisiting the X-Men: Evolution Christmas episode this week at CBR, which featured perhaps the show's only true comics-accurate origin story.
This week, I'm looking at the brief ascension of an obscure Spider-Man villain, granted some sunlight in the 1990s, chiefly because another character wasn't available.
This week at CBR, I'm looking back on an early "Terry's classmate is causing trouble" episode of Batman Beyond.
I continue my look at G. I. Joe's post-9/11 revival in comics this week at CBR. Stay turned for Thundercats, Transformers, Masters of the Universe...
I'm revisiting Darwyn Cooke's Solo Batman story this week at CBR; once rejected as a Batman Adventures fill-in!
Justice League's "Hearts and Minds" dropped Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman in favor of John Stewart -- and killed off some Green Lantern Corps members. I revisit the episode this week at CBR.
I'm revisiting the very-close-to-real Justice League Mortal film this week at CBR. It's Didio-tastic. Also, you might be interested in my full review of the new X-Men: The Animated Series art book.
I'm looking back in the first comic of the 1980s revival -- the Image relaunch of G. I. Joe. Let me know if you have any suggests from the early 2000s revival craze you'd like to see covered.
