In Which Greg Rants About Creators’ Rights

The big news today is obviously Marvel suing to invalidate Jack Kirby’s heirs’ copyright claims. Kirby’s heirs– taking a page from Jerry Siegel’s family– filed notices to regain copyright of forty five different Kirby-created Marvel characters a few months ago. Given that Stan Lee already surrendered his right to file a similar claim, if a [ READ MORE ]

Video Reviews [12.16.09]

I feel I should apologize for the quality of this week’s video. I’m kind of unfocused and this was the best take I could salvage, so take my crappy week into account when you watch this, okay? NerderyBlog[dot]Com Video Review 4 from Greg Hyatt on Vimeo. [ READ MORE ]

Spider-Man and Batman

When I moved recently, I found my copy of Spider-Man and Batman, a Marvel and DC joint effort. I haven’t read it in years and I wanted to see how it was after all that time. Because we know how that goes. Spider-Man and Batman was a prestige format book released in 1995 that carried the hefty [ READ MORE ]

I, for one, welcome our four-fingered overlords.

Okay, we’ve been hearing all morning about Disney acquiring Marvel for $4 billion but what does it mean? At this point, it’s all speculation.  Marvel EIC Joe Quesada says the Disney/Marvel relationship will be similar to the one the Mouse has with Pixar and that, creatively,  nothing is changing. So, I’m going to refrain from making any [ READ MORE ]

Comic Reviews: 06-24-09

It is a normal part of my weekly comic reading habits to arrange my weekly purchases in order of what I guess to be least-to-most good. This way, my reading will be progressively enjoyable. I do this rather arbitrarily based on previous reading enjoyment, currently plots, and covers. This week, my order of comics was: [ READ MORE ]

The Last Time Cap Came Back From the Dead

Writer Ed Brubaker killed Captain America two years ago in the aftermath of Civil War.  Since then, fans have wondered how and when Steve Rogers is coming from the dead (a given, considering the revolving door on Superhero Heaven and the impending movie). Marvel announced today what everyone’s known: That the original Sentinel of Liberty is [ READ MORE ]

NFL Superpro

Christina: Hey, since the Super Bowl’s tonight, you should write about NFL Superpro. Me: Is that what’s going on tonight? Yeah, I’m not a sports guy.  I do, however, know about NFL Superpro. In the early nineties Marvel and the NFL decided to work together to create a football-themed superhero.  The result was NFL Superpro.  Phil Grayfield was [ READ MORE ]

What I Bought [11.26.08]

As always, presented in reading order… Runaways Vol. 3 #4 (Marvel) – I’m still not sure how I feel about Terry Moore and Humberto Ramos on this book.  Look at what they have to follow: a few years’ worth of Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona and then an arc written by Joss Whedon.  I’m not [ READ MORE ]

What I Bought [11.12.08]

Kind of a light week, so let’s get to it. The Stand: Captain Trips #3 (of 5) (Marvel) – I picked this up for Christina (she’s a huge fan of the novel– I’ve never read it), but I’m digging it so far.  Mike Perkins’ art is phenomonal, though I’m not really qualified to judge Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s [ READ MORE ]
