Ten Best Deconstructive Superhero Stories of All-Time
I have a reputation on Gabbing Geek as a guy who doesn’t like comic books. This knock is generally well deserved. I don’t like much anymore. But there is a certain kind of comic that even to this day will cause me to get dressed, get in the car, head to the comic shop, and buy a comic sit in my underwear, fire up the ol’ tablet, click Comixology on my browser, and download a digital file. What are these amazing tales you ask?

Spoiler Free Mini Review: "Leaving Megalopolis" (or "Watson Read a Comic…")
I don’t often read comics (insert my diatribe about commitment issues and how much I hate Jimmy here), but in the Gabbing Geek Editorial bullpen this weekend, Ryan mentioned a standalone TPB story about heroes gone mad and how the normal people try to survive. Sounded intriguing, so I spent a little money at Comixology and give it a try. What did I think? Click on to find out.

What Would Happen If The Justice League Had to Fight….TO THE DEATH?!?
I was going to write an article to coincide with the start of the NCAA basketball tournament consisting of a bracket of 64 superheroes in a “who would win a fight” contest. Those are so boring though because inevitably the answer is “Superman wins!” Thinking of scenarios that could make for better clickbait more entertaining content led me to recall one of the greatest articles I have ever read in the history of the Internet.

Winter WILL End…Someday!?!
In what can only be described as the least surprising development in the history of show business, the head of HBO would love to see his cash cow CASH COW™ go on well past the point the creators think it needs to go. Fortunately, the producers know how to play the Game of Scheduling. Because if you play the Game of Scheduling either you get points in syndication….or you die!

Iron Man's Dad to Try to Kill God?
Looks like Dominic Cooper, famous for playing Howard Stark (aka Iron Man’s pappa) in Captain America is the new front runner to play the lead in Preacher; a Vertigo Comics series about a disillusioned preacher trying to find and kill the creator. This property has been in development many times, so we are skeptical. Sound like a good choice IF they move forward?

Best Superhero Movies That Are NOT DC/Marvel Universe
For years, Marvel couldn’t get a movie off the ground and DC owned the big screen with Superman and Batman. Eventually, Marvel caught and passed DC; which will try to return to the pinnacle with Batsoup. Today we take a look at the superhero films that excelled despite not having the built in advantage of the DC/Marvel banner. And as a Gabbing Geek bonus, we’ll also tell you where the film’s characters would best fit if you shoehorned it into the DC or Marvel comicverse. Cuz we’re awesome like that. If you love superheroes just as much as us and you’re in the process of trying to get your children to share the same passion as you, why don’t you try to convince them through buying superhero capes. Who doesn’t love wearing a costume?

Bad Performances in Good Superhero Movies
On Tuesday, we talked about actors who gave a strong performance in a stinker of a superhero flick. While it is always a shame to waste a strong performance in a turd of a film, isn’t is a greater sin to crap on the rug in an otherwise fine superhero motion picture? Let’s take a look at some people who need to call the carpet cleaners, because they did just that!
Good Performances in Bad Superhero Movies
Today we celebrate the roses that grew out of a steaming pile of horse manure. It’s easy to bask in the accolades of a strong performance in an epic superhero flick. Chris Reeve got us all started with his turn in Superman. Ledger was all-time in the brilliant Dark Knight. RDJ was amazing in the transformative Iron Man. But what about the people who rise to the occasion in a real stinker? Let’s give them their moment in the sun!
