The Blastoff Video Interview – Len Wein
It’s a great personal pleasure to introduce our next Blastoff Video Interview, with legendary writer/editor Len Wein. It’s almost easier to list books and characters Len hasn’t written, his career has been so far-reaching and influential. Batman? Of course. Spider-Man? You bet. Star Trek? Absolutely. The Hulk? Yep. Watchmen? He was the editor. As if […]

Farewell, Spidey
Amazing Spider-Man #50 is an iconic cover. It shocked many (those that bought into it) that thinking that the brand-new popular superhero Peter Parker is already giving up and quitting being Spider-Man. His crime-fighting career barely started! Much like the death of a superhero, at first, it would be shocking, but when done over and […]
Spider-Man’s Not…
If nothing else, I can always count on Spider-Man to make me chuckle. I like his flippant sense of humor; wisecracks are right up my alley. The way he replied to villain’s cries of, “Hey, it’s Spider-Man” back in the day is priceless. I can hear the tone in the voice; it has to get […]
Spider-Man Does What a Spider Can And More
When Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider he gains the abilities and unique properties of a spider. He’s incredibly agile, he can climb walls and stick to ceilings. Spiders have a remarkable sense of balance – my klutzy self would be glad just to have that spider ability. Don’t get me wrong, walking […]
BMOC
BMOC. It’s a nickname, an acronym, and completely ridiculous all at the same time. I’m going to try to use this daily… okay, maybe weekly.
Truth or Justice
It may not have been his intention, but Larry Tye’s new “biography” of Superman, SUPERMAN: THE HIGH-FLYING HISTORY OF AMERICA’S MOST ENDURING HERO, raises more questions than it answers. Intended as an exploration of the cultural impact of Siegel and Shuster’s landmark creation while at the same covering its history in all media, HIGH-FLYING HERO […]
Those Unfriendly Neighborhood Spider-Villains, Part III
Previously: We’re knee deep in Spidey-villains lately, with recent weeks covering everyone from the Chameleon to the Vulture to the Scorpion. Sensing a certain “animal” theme, are you? Well, they wouldn’t be the last, as we’re about to learn… Our next Spidey-villain actually made his debut elsewhere, but quickly settled into a steady gig serving […]
Let’s Hate Spider-Man
Spider-Man is one of the good guys. Despite the fact that he’s constantly saving human lives and performing good deeds, he gets a hard time from the media courtesy of J. Jonah Jameson. I’m not sure any other superhero gets attacked by the public so much. Spidey isn’t a mutant, and unlike The Hulk (who […]
