For better or worse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe changed the face of super-heroes in modern media. While there had been a number of successful superhero franchises before it, something about Iron Man captured the public’s imagination in a way that only Batman had done with his 1966 TV series and original quadrology. The major differenceContinue reading “Es-Cape Plan: Introduction”

Carafe and the Rise of Perverto
In the early days of 2010, Brian Russell came to me with an idea: a comic in which we (as well as some other comic creators) could just kind of mess around! It sounded like a splendid idea, and so Carafe was born. At the time, I was still using my computer generated art soContinue reading “Carafe and the Rise of Perverto”
The Fictospherians’ Ideal Costumes
In honor of the holiday, we asked the various Fictosphere contributors what their ideal costume would be, or has been, or whatever! And no, there’s no pictures of any females in any costumes in this article. We have intentionally misled you in a bid for traffic. Matt “Matsu Her-O” Heywood Hey everybody! Ever since IContinue reading “The Fictospherians’ Ideal Costumes”
The Twelfth Hour: A Night of Horror (1930) – Nosferatu’s Not-So-Feratu
The following article, as featured on Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities, was originally intended to be part of a series on films that aren’t lost but are rather unavailable to the general public for one reason or another. While technically a Throwback Thursday candidate, I choose to present this heavily-reworked article–really, two articles in one–asContinue reading “The Twelfth Hour: A Night of Horror (1930) – Nosferatu’s Not-So-Feratu”
A Peek Behind the Mask(s) of The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
Since this article was originally posted in four parts at Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities, it technically qualifies as a Throwback Thursday post–but since this is Halloween week, and since Mike has something extra-special planned for the actual day, I figured it would be best to get this up before then. I’ve also incorporated anyContinue reading “A Peek Behind the Mask(s) of The Phantom of the Opera (1925)”
The Monster Status of the Michael Myerses
My original intent for this article was a simple follow-up to my Monster Status of Jason Voorhees article, but as I rewatched the Halloween series (minus Halloween III since it doesn’t involve Michael Myers) I discovered that it wasn’t a question with a clear answer because even following the criteria I had set for myself,Continue reading “The Monster Status of the Michael Myerses”
Wild Packs & Cloned Lovers: The Spider-Man Franchise You Didn’t See – Finale
Part Three: Silver Sable to the Rescue, Living Vampires, & Clones Run Amok So here we are folks, ready to make a home run as we wrap up the journey through a Spider-Verse that never was, at least in this particular form. In Part One, we made note of the Venom solo film’s 1 yearContinue reading “Wild Packs & Cloned Lovers: The Spider-Man Franchise You Didn’t See – Finale”
Maximum Carnage Inbound: The Spider-Man Franchise You Didn’t See
Part Two: The Road to Sinister Alliances, the Year 2099, & Carnage And now folks, we’re going to start getting into the nitty gritty of where Spider-Man, as played by actor Andrew Garfield, would’ve been headed as the lead of his own cinematic universe. It’s important to note that the pop culture trends I spokeContinue reading “Maximum Carnage Inbound: The Spider-Man Franchise You Didn’t See”
Mikenificent’s Spooktacular Webcomic: Count Pikachu
Since we’re in the midst of a Fictosphere Spooktacular, I figured I’d dredge up my second webcomic story which is, coincidentally, horror themed! As you can see from the logo above, it concerns a vampirized Pikachu. Unlike my first webcomic, this one wasn’t a spin-off of anything and is honestly a lot better. There’s aContinue reading “Mikenificent’s Spooktacular Webcomic: Count Pikachu”
Venom-iversary & the Spider-Man Franchise You Didn’t See
Part One: Success in Villainous Spin-Off & Bond vs. Spidey This past Saturday, October the 5th, marked the 1 year anniversary for the release of a little film some of you readers may or may not have heard of. Just a small indie picture. Grossed over 850 million dollars at the worldwide box-office, nothing fancy.Continue reading “Venom-iversary & the Spider-Man Franchise You Didn’t See”
