The Demon and Underdog

 

This is a pairing that has been suggested a few times, most recently by Bob Greenwade, a patron of this blog.  It does seem like somewhat of an odd couple until they start speaking.  Plus, they have similar tastes in fashion!

Ambush Bug and Forbush Man

So where did the name Forbush Man come from anyway?  I have never heard of a Forbush before, was it just a funny sounding name to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, so they used it?  I do like the gag of a guy using his own last name as part of his supposed secret alter ego.

Thank you to Ivan Schablotski, a patron of this blog,  for suggesting this titanic Irving/Irwin team up!

Cobra Crew

I'm not sure what it is about cobras that make them so desirable to furnish a villainous theme around, but it sure seems to happen a lot. I can't imagine a group like this would last for very long before their egos got in the way and they started turning on each other.

The Flash Vs. Yellowjacket

I saw Ant-Man this weekend and was thoroughly entertained.  I liked the smaller-scale (pun intended) that this movie had, with the dual father/daughter relationship stories playing out.  I expected the shrinking action to be cool and inventive and Director Peyton Reed definitely delivered there.  What I didn't expect were two great scenes that thankfully were not spoiled for me before hand.  The ultra-cool opening sequence and Ant-Man's encounter with another Marvel hero were great surprises and the audience I was with loved those moments as well.  The cast was great all around and I hope to see Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily and Michael Douglas return in a sequel.
