Josh Reviews What If…? Season Two
I loved reading Marvel’s What If comics as a kid, and I thought it was a super-cool idea that Marvel was creating an animated MCU What If…? show. I thought the first season was solid and very enjoyable to watch, though it didn’t blow me away as much as I’d ho
Josh Reviews Echo
I was a fan of the character of Echo immediately after reading her first appearance in Daredevil #9 back in 1999. (She was created by David Mack and Joe Quesada.) I was thrilled when she appeared in Hawkeye (a spectacular and underrated show for which I desperately want to see a s
Josh Reviews MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios is an entertaining look back at the creation and rise of Marvel Studios. The book is written by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards. The book is a detailed examination of why has Marvel been so successful, while other studios foundere
Josh Reviews The Marvels
The Marvels serves as a sequel both to 2019’s Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, but also to Ms. Marvel (which introduced young Kamala Khan) and WandaVision (which introduced Monica Rambeau, who was the daughter of Carol’s friend Maria Rambeau, played b
Josh Reviews Loki Season Two
I loved season one of Loki! It was joyously weird and strange, dipping into obscure corners of the Marvel Comics universe (I never thought the Time Variant Authority would be depicted on-screen!), and it provided a well-deserved showcase for Tom Hiddleston’s villain-who-we-lov
Josh Reviews Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion is the latest Marvel show on Disney+. In this six-episode series, a grizzled Nick Fury returns to the field in an attempt to stop a civil war between the shape-shifting Skrull aliens on Earth. At the end of Captain Marvel, set in 1995, Fury had discovered and befri
Josh Reviews Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 is a magnificent film, fun and funny and thrilling and heartbreaking. I don’t think I could have asked for a better conclusion to writer/director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and his association (at least for now) with Marve
Re-Reading Steve Englehart’s Classic “New” Fantastic Four Comics from the Eighties!
One of my favorite comic book series as a kid was The Fantastic Four, and to this day, I still deeply love those characters. Although I’ve gone back (many times now!) to read and love John Byrne’s lengthy run on the FF in the eighties, I actually started reading the FF
News Around the Net
Whoa! Four decades after History of the World Part I, here comes History of the World Part II!! How did I not know this was happening?? This is billed as a four-night event. Will it be good? I dunno, but that trailer is great and the cast looks amazing. I’m excited. He
Josh Reviews Werewolf by Night
Following the death of monster-hunter Ulysses Bloodstone, a group of his fellow monster-hunters gather to compete to see who is worthy to inherit the bloodstone that gave Ulysses his name; a powerful weapon against monsters. But one of the hunters, Jack (Gael García Bernal), has en
