Miss Dawn’s Musings – Year of the Geek Once More
Another new year is upon us, full of hope and promise and blah, blah, blah all the other sappy BS that everyone spouts for the first week of January until reality hits.

Irregular’s Intel – That Thing About Iron Fist
Earlier this week my wife shared with me an article about the sensitive issues surrounding the casting of Danny Rand, Iron Fist in the upcoming Netflix series of the same name. In the article, written by Kwame Opam and posted on theverge.com, the author points out how, in his current depiction, the character is a white male whose behavior is steeped in Asian tradition.

For those in the know and not in the know, it is a series based on the Marvel Max miniseries Alias. It follows Jessica Jones, a former superhero turned private detective. She is a street level character who has some ties with Luke Cage. Now, Mr. Cage is a marvel character who has been around since the early 70’s and has mostly been a B or C tier character until Alias and the “Civil War” event. Now, he’s up there with the big boys – Cage is even an Avenger now! As you may know, he is one of my faves and is a great study in self improvement. Ride with me in the way back machine as I give you a crash course on him from his meager beginnings to his rise to the top.
