An exciting new trailer for Netflix’s The Punisher was released yesterday, which revealed a premiere date of November 17th. The anticipation has been building after multiple rumors and numerous cancellations. The series was hyped at Comic-Con, and then canceled earlier this month. But finally, a date has been given. The show overlaps with other Netflix…
Have you finished all eight episodes of The Defenders yet? It’s the risk of a bingeable series. You have about a day before the spoilers are out there online. Well we’re going to take a more deliberate pace going through the show. Look for our recaps about once a week. If you watched it all…
Welcome to Best Comic I Read, a column where I talk about the best comic I’ve read each week. It doesn’t have to have actually come out this week. It doesn’t have to be any particular format. The comic just has to be good. “Best” is subjective to be sure, but this is why I…
When I think about July movies, I think back to some of the biggest releases ever. The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 immediately come to mind. These movies had the hype that drove crowds to midnight releases and multiple viewings. I don’t quite think July 2017 has such titles….
What up nerds, and welcome back (again) to the internet! That time of week again – i.e. “the end,” where I get to fill you in on everything you may have missed in the world of geek during this chaotic cacophony that is modern life. As usual, things have continued to happen – which is good…
If I had to pinpoint one month that represented why I love going to the movies, it would be May. May movies are loud, fun, colorful, and meant to be seen on the big screen. Two years ago I wrote how Marvel has a hold on the month that represents the beginning of the summer blockbuster season….
Well, yesterday was busy. Stephen King’s “magnum opus,” The Dark Tower, which is made up of eight books, (a heptalogy plus one – they haven’t come up with a name for it yet), is apparently being made into a film. It seems that everyone had forgotten that it was happening, what with Star Wars and…
Those of you who have seen a few of the Marvel movies in the recent years will have noticed that there is a tradition of the After Credits Cut Scene. These tidbits, while often giving only a little away in terms of story, occupy the highest altar in the Marvel fandom, as they help people…
Hey Folks, So, something very legit and unexpected happened today. Taika Waititi, a New Zealand indie horror film director, who was recruited by Disney to helm the latest Thor Film, has dropped an official teaser trailer for the new film. If you haven’t already seen it, no worries, it’s below. And it’s a doozie. Gird your loins in…
In what will be my last review of Comic Block’s monthly subscription, this particular box is reminiscent of the spookiest season of the year while preparing the subscriber for a certain strange debut in November. It’s a box which celebrates our favorite dark themed and alternative storylines. Fellow geeks, behold the contents from the latest…
It feels like forever since we’ve had a Marvel movie come out and give us a guaranteed bit of comic book fun at the movie theater. Actually, it’s only been a few months. But Doctor Strange sure doesn’t look like a typical superhero slugfest. Among the list of November movies is also the ambitious Harry…
Luke Cage has been on Netflix for less than a week and has already made a statement…by supposedly crashing the streaming service for hours due to its popularity, among many other things. Let’s discuss those other things. The show follows the Marvel super hero as he attempts to clean up what has happened to Harlem…
In a little more than a month, Marvel fans will have the chance to see yet another of their favorite comic book heroes on the big screen. The “Sorcerer Supreme” aka Doctor Strange was created by comic book artist and writer Steve Ditko. Doctor Strange debuted in an issue of Marvel Comic book Strange Tales…
Fellow geek brethren, another San Diego Comic Con has passed. San Diegans have returned to their easier commute through the downtown/Gaslamp area. Small reminders of the event tumble across the streets as Power Puff Girl balloons and crowd control barriers come down. And alas, instead of catching the coverage from IMDb specials, I was there this…
Last year, I wrote about Marvel’s affinity for conquering the box office in May of every year. This year looks to be the same. While the early portion of 2016 has had some big titles, May movies are an entirely different animal. We have two comic book films, four sequels, some comedy, horror, and even…
