Maybe Robert Downey, Jr will play a Doombot?
Of course Doom would one-up Tony’s monitor with a hologram. That’s how Doom rolls. Also, that’s supposed to be curtains on the throne wall on Tony’s monitor. I don’t think I conveyed that right.
Anyway, over at The Clutter Reports this week we have the final book report on Star Trek: The Vulcan Academy Murders, which means tomorrow you’ll see the next book to be reviewed for Chapter By Chapter. I’ll returning to an old…”favorite” would be a bold-faced lie, so let’s say better than Seduction Of The Innocent. It is, however, a book I have not actually read before, but after reading the first book in the series I can’t say I’m going in on a high note.
Meanwhile I did fine one last Free Comic Book Day from this year’s want list online digitally, so I mistyped last Tuesday. There is one more FCBD edition of Today’s Comic before you see what the future of “Yesterday’s” Comic is going to be. Hopefully you’ll like it. I have a couple of article ideas ready to go, but that also depends on how this week goes. Have a great week, everyone!

BW’s Saturday Article Link> When The Stakes Are Too High
It’s not enough anymore for individual comic issues to simply have a story where, for example, Batman hunts down a random criminal or Iron Man deals with a threat to his company that won’t end the world. Between “eventitis” and obsession with the epic, the smaller stories aren’t allowed to breathe, the status quo is forever changing except when it isn’t, and writers keep trying to outdo themselves and their predecessor to make every story larger than the last. This is a mistake, as it’s the smaller stories that allow us to connect with the characters, as author Caroline Furlong demonstrates with Marvel’s movie counterpart and how the more recent phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had put nothing less than everything at stake, and being forced to go bigger next time so now they’re focusing on the multiverse instead of letting know these characters as people.
Then again, I’m not sure the MCU or anyone at Disney and their acquired studios know how to write normal people anymore, but that’s a whole other discussion. She also shows how Marvel Studios could fix this mistake, but we know they won’t. They no longer understand what it is they’re working on.
