Artist Kate Beaton Preempts the Cloak and Dagger TV Show
When you’re an Internet writer like me, you’ve got to be able to find pictures to go along with your stories to make the article more interesting to look at. So when a Cloak and Dagger TV show as announced last week, everyone on the Internet suddenly had to find some pictures of Cloak and Dagger to make their article pop. This revealed a rather startling fact to artist and genius Kate Beaton.
Behold, Kate Beaton’s mighty takedown of Cloak and Dagger. Slightly NSFW.
Hopefully the fine folks at Freeform are paying attention. It shouldn’t be too hard to head this off at the pass.
By the way, I’m aware of the irony of writing about finding pictures for an article and then not actually doing it, so don’t bother pointing that out.

Cloak and Dagger Are Coming to TV!
The Marvel TV shows just keep coming! It was announced yesterday that Cloak and Dagger are coming to the Freeform channel, formerly ABC Family. I understand why they changed the name, but what kind of coked-up focus group came up with ‘Freeform’? Regardless, we’re getting a Cloak and Dagger TV show.
All characters have hope
I am definitely a fan of all this comic book and superhero-based TV. Bring it on. I love the Marvel Netflix shows, I enjoy Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Peggy Carter, I like The Walking Dead, I’m looking forward to Preacher, I love Arrow and The Flash, I sometimes watch Supergirl; if you produce it, TV people, I will probably check it out.
What do you henchies think? Cloak and Dagger are solid characters, and their story could make for some good attractive young people-based romance.

I Love April Fools Day!
I love the very concept of holidays, that we as a people come together for pageantry and silliness on certain days of the year. April Fools Day is a good one, a day for pranks and purposeful silliness. And the Internet is always a great place to find good April Fools Day pranks.
Such as IGN’s latest video for a live action Darth Maul TV show on Netflix! Oh, if only it were true…
I’m a little disappointed in myself that I didn’t name Darth Maul on my list of potential Star Wars Netflix shows. Though he would be a tough sell, quiet guy like that.
Anybody find any other really good Internet pranks this year? Share them in the comments!

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil
Like many comic book fans, I spent this past weekend binge-watching the new season of Daredevil. Once again, Marvel dominates entertainment. This show is everything we comic fans could possibly want from a Daredevil adaptation. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s charming, it’s exciting; this is damn fine television, and fits perfectly with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Season Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I also love the Netflix delivery system. I like being able to binge-watch an entire season in a few sittings, getting the whole story in one big go, rather than waiting week to week. It keeps me in the moment, it allows the writers to really dig deep into the material, and create a big tapestry of a story. I loved almost every episode, I loved every storyline, the new characters were great; Daredevil Season 2 was another huge success for Marvel!
Join me after the jump to hear my specific thoughts on the season. There will be MAJOR SPOILERS for the whole season, so read at your own risk.
Daredevil Season 2 Arrives Today!
I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.
As far as I’ve seen, all early reviews are very positive! It looks like the quality of Season 1 is going to carry over, and we’re all going to have a great time! Just gotta get through work first…
