Spell Block Tango
We love Disney movies around here, so when an American Idol finalist makes a catchy song parody starring Disney villains, you can bet we’re going to get on that! Even if only because I really like the song ‘Cell Block Tango’ from Chicago.
The film was made by Todrick Hall, who also made the amazing Beauty and the Beat video from a few months ago. Now he and the What the Funny comedy company made themselves another amazing parody song, and I’m always down with that kind of creativity. I hope this guy keeps up the good work!
Happy Halloween from Supergirl and Batgirl!
If artist Mike Maihack spends the rest of his days drawing adorable, holiday-themed Supergirl and Batgirl comics, it will be a life well spent. Comics need more adorableness in their pages in this day and age.
The Greatest Superhero Halloween Adventure of All Time!
Gather ’round, boys and ghouls, and let me tell you the tale of a spooky battle between good and evil that took place on a Halloween night, much like this one. No, it’s not Batman’s Long Halloween. It’s not even Hellboy vs. the Boogeyman. The greatest comic book Halloween adventure of all time is X-Men Unlimited #21 from the extra terrifying year 1998, when Strong Guy, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane and the Beast defeated an army of demons and saved a wedding with the help of a flaming toupee.
I kid you not. It is just as amazing as it sounds.
Any 90s era comic is pretty scary
For Halloween this year, I’m going to share with you my all-time favorite superhero Halloween story. You can keep your Batmen and Sandmen and Hellchildren, there isn’t anything better than a couple of B and C-list X-Men on a wacky adventure in a tertiary anthology comic! It’s got action, it’s got comedy, it’s got angst, and it’s got more nicknames for manly hairpieces than you can shake a witch’s broom at.
So join me after the jump – if you dare! Moohahahahaha!
Justice League: War Trailer Has Me Legitimately Excited for a DC Animated Movie Again
Justice League: War is the next animated movie from DC, and the first trailer has blown me away. It’s based on the opening story for the New 52 Justice League, which I thought was pretty terrible. But it looks like that story might make for a good animated movie.
I’ve been pretty lukewarm about the DC animated movies for awhile now. They’ve all been pretty shallow, by-the-numbers adaptations. I’ve really felt like the people working on them could be put to better use, because their skill in animation is second to none. But nope, they keep popping these out to medium amounts of fanfare. Well now the movies have entered the New 52, which I feel is long overdue. DC needs this kind of synergy, and I hope this movie pays off.
Better for DC to animate their New 52 comics than spend a good chunk of their efforts glorifying the old, pre-reboot stories.
