As long as DC Comics continues to drag the DC Universe down I’ll comment on it. And as long as Warner Brothers keeps screwing up the DC Movieverse I’ll point to anyone who shows why they’re doing it wrong, coming off as darker knockoff of the Marvel Movieverse. Jim Avery took to Cracked and pointed out four things Marvel got right that DC/WB doesn’t understand and thus screws up in comparison. It’s a shame to see this happen.

By now most of you know I don’t like hero versus hero battles. I’d rather see hero versus villain, but nobody asks who would win between Superman and The Plutonian or Batman and Doctor Doom. It’s always hero versus hero. That saddens me because I want to see heroes team up, not fight each other. They should be beating up villains. That’s what heroes do, fight villains and save people in what ever order is appropriate.
That said, a good fight is still a good fight and this is a good one. ScrewAttack contributors Wiz and Boomstick found such a battle by pitting Godzilla and Gamera to see who is truly the king of the monsters. They make the stats interesting (rare for stats) and the animated battle based on those stats is quite good for the budget. So who win between these two movie franchise rivals? Let’s find out.
Wrestling-themed chiropractic centers aren’t doing well for some reason.

Starfire (DC Comics) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The original Starfire was a man who now goes by Red Star (if he’s in the New 52) and of course we all know of Koriand’r, the girl named after a spice. But there was another Starfire, a girl that’s closer to the New 52 preferences because she kills dudes and uses her hotness as a weapon. Imagine Wonder Woman 52 Xena on another planet. Siskoid sends his Blog Of Geekery to meet the little lady.

Radical Guardian Skater X, which should be dropping on ComiXology today, is the latest comic from the minds of Action Age, the online comic where the more action they can put in a story the better they like it. I’ve mentioned them before here at the Spotlight and whatever doesn’t come up in the recommended links should be easy enough to find with the on-site search. Basically, I tend to like their work. Action Age Comics brings Silver Age insanity to a modern setting and if that sounds like your thing, then keep reading this review. Writer Chris Sims put out some review copies and I obtained one for myself.
Skateboarding crimefighters are nothing new. From Stan Lee’s The Condor to the MTV shorts adventures of Stevie Washington, to a Marvel character whose name is totally escaping me, Skater X is good company and easily stands out from the crowd.
