OPINION First of all, our congratulations to Judd Winick and the team formerly on DC's GREEN LANTERN for being honored with a Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The award was given for the highly con...
Last week's mixed-bag review of X-MEN: THE LAST STAND generated a small truckload of mail. The reactions ranged from complete agreement with my review, to total disagreement from fans that thought the film met or exceeded the previous two. Regardless, t...
