If you’re a longtime comicbook fan, you know the name Mark Millar. His career in comics began in the 90s, working for a small British publisher before he moved to DC. Leaving DC in 2001 (just before his Superman: Red Son was published) Millar moved to Marvel, where he launched Ultimate X-Men and wrote one of Marvel’s biggest series, Civil War. Of course, most people know him now for the comics (and movies) from his creator-owned line Millarworld – Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Kingsman among them. Continue reading Comics Cosmos – The World Awaits

Irregular’s Intel – Choose This Mission!!
With Mission: Impossible Fallout on it’s way to theaters this week, I began watching/rewatching the entire series a few weeks ago. I am a huge fan of the series, but I had a take it or leave it attitude with John Woo’s Mission: Impossible II.

One swoop of wind and hurricanes and tornadoes and the friendly sea creatures that easily destroy their enemies in one bite is right at our back door.

Irregular’s Intel – That Man Fred
Last weekend I finally got to see a documentary that I had been waiting to come to my city, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? For those not in the know (and shame on you for not being!), it is a doc about the iconic and award winning show Mister Roger’s Neighborhood. But it is so much more than a litany of behind the scenes stories. It is about a phenomenal individual who changed numerous lives through a show that, by modern standards, did not make good TV.
