Riverdale is everything that shouldn't work together...working together in a way that is so wrong, yet oh so right. In a world where cable TV often seems like a wasteland littered with reboots and spin offs (and on occasion a totally original show), Riverdale is a uniquely original and totally welcome addition.
Doctor Strange was yet another origin story with a weak villain, but the spectacular, trippy visuals and great acting keep it from being too formulaic. The future ramifications from introducing magic in the Marvel cinematic universe alone make this one worth watching.
Season 1 of Luke Cage was another extremely well put together series from Marvel and Netflix. The character and world building really brought Harlem to life, and the acting was fantastic. However, a weak end villain and an, at times, too small scale of a story keep it from being exceptional. Very solid, but not exceptional.
Over the decades comic books have matured and developed into true mythology with their heroes (and antiheroes), villians, and extraordinary tales that both teach and reflect the true nature of the world. Their stories have become more complex and layered, and a massive, rich universe has developed from them thanks to the likes of Jim Lee and Jack Kirby. Superman, Batman, and Spiderman stand as beacons of our morals and virtues; and their incredible tales and origins are what we'll be passing on to our next generation. So move over Zeus, Hercules, Odysseus; there are new gods atop Mount Olympus.
Not only has comic book content dramatically changed over the last 20 years but so has the average comic fan. This 3 part series aims to expose societies outdated image of comic culture while exploring modern comic genres as art forms which encompass hip hop, feminism, civil rights, LGBT, and politics.
