Morning Article Link: Supergirl, Everybody!

Supergirl CBS

With a new Supergirl TV series in the works, Comics Alliance has the folks behind their “Comics, Everybody” comic series go over the convoluted history of all the Supergirls (and Super-Girls) in DC multiversal history. It’s crazier than you thought.

In Defense Of The Matrix Of Leadership

 

Matrix Of Leadership

Here’s another one from my late Transformers fansite and alt.toys.transformers. At the time ATT had a few threads going on involving the Matrix Of Leadership, or at least one subthread, it’s been so long I can’t remember. As someone who prefers the classic cartoon origin for the Transformers and Unicron (which didn’t feature dark gods and stuff and was closer to pure sci-fi), I decided to make a defense of the Matrix, which had popped up unexpectedly and is now part of Transformer multiversal continuity.

This was never mentioned in two seasons of the cartoon, but in season three, now set in the year 2006, one year after the movie, it became important in numerous episodes. Therefore, a few questions of events in the previous seasons and I decided to address it. Except for spelling and grammar errors, what follows is just what I posted back in the day, followed by some updated thoughts. Continue reading →

Morning Article Link: Deadpool, Movie Edition

The Green Goblin take on Casual Friday.

The Green Goblin take on Casual Friday.

20th Century Fox (who somehow got Deadpool with their X-Men license but lost Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to Marvel Studios) has brought out the pictures and logo for the upcoming Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds as the Merc With A Mouth. It’s probably the closest to the comic model I have seen since the 80s Superman and Supergirl movies.
