Oh Hank

So I catch sight of not only Hank Pym riding a … something technological down to its explodey fate, but an article over at Atomic’s Comics blog by way of Ye Olde Comick Booke Blogge who found a bunch of old corny shots of the Wasp mooning over Thor and powdering her nose in the [...]

Vengenance

Okay, so apparently March comes in like a lion and out like an even bigger lion riding an elephant and facing a gigantic force of ancient werewolves designed to capitalize on the charm of the new 300 movie because Jeph Loeb will not admit he has no idea where he’s going with this story and [...]
