Holy Crap! Marvel Has Killed The Hostess Spokesman Spider-Man

Mmmmmm Twinkies
Mmmmmm Twinkies

If you are a comic book reader of a certain age then you have fond memories of the ads for Hostess snacks that used to appear in the comics of the day. Super-heroes would face off against all manner of villains and defeat them by using the sugary goodness of a Twinkie, Ho Ho or fruit pie. All the heroes got in on the act but the most prolific were Batman and Spider-Man. So it was a sad day indeed when I read that Hostess Spidey was going to get deaded as part of this “Spider-Verse” currently crossover running through the Spider-Man books.

Wishful Casting The Supergirl TV Show

Derek

Having been given a full series commitment from CBS, the new SUPERGIRL TV show is now moving onto the casting stage with the announcements of the primary cast members that will be featured on the show. Since this is coming from the same folks that have given us the wonderful ARROW and FLASH shows over on The CW, I am very optimistic about the quality of this series even if I am a bit confused about why it is going to air on CBS instead of The CW. So taking the character casting sheets that have been released I have decided to do my own bit of wishful casting for the show using only veterans of shows that aired on The CW. Because if there is one thing they love at The CW/CBS it’s recycling actors.

It’s Good To See That Zack Snyder Recognizes The Greatness Of Aquaman

Derek

aquaman00
Zack Snyder, the BATMAN v SUPERMAN director, was on his way to the movie’s set when he heard a local Detroit radio show speaking disparagingly about Aquaman and did what anyone with even an ounce of taste in matters involving comic books would do, he called into the show and set the hosts straight!

The Comic Book Characters I Really Want To See On Arrow

Derek

arrow
As a diehard comic book fan I am completely hooked on The CW’s ARROW Tv show that follows the adventures of DC Comic’s Green Arrow in live-action form. The show could have very easily devolved into a soapy SMALLVILLE style mess but somehow the folks behind ARROW managed to walk the perfect tightrope of super-hero action goodness with CW style melodrama to create the best comic book based series on TV (take that AGENTS OF SHIELD!). Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer for the remainder of Season 2 after the cut and prepare to get hooked on this show.
