In this episode, we'll spend far more time than is warranted discussing the ins-and-outs of penguins in the Marvel universe. Then, Cap teams up with Thor and Spider-Man to restore Broxton, Oklahoma. Plus, Doctor Doom and Rocket Raccoon travel back before the beginning of time! Don't miss this jam-packed episode!

[School of Movies 2025] This film began life before James Gunn was abruptly fired overnight, by Marvel. It languished for years through the triumph of Endgame, then the Pandemic, and Gunn's hiring by DC to direct their Suicide Squad sequel. The man who came back to pick up the script had been changed, and while Superman (2025) shows the sheer optimistic joy he's capable of imbuing his projects with, this farewell to the Guardians is a dark, furious requiem of betrayal, loss, bitter conflict and ultimately redemption. In choosing to make it all about Rocket Raccoon, the secret weapon of the MCU was taken out of the picture. He is attacked by newcomer Adam Warlock on Knowhere home turf, in a failed act of corporate reclamation. His killswitch is triggered, leaving him in a coma and it is up to the Guardians to investigate the Doctor Moreau-inspired High Evolutionary, and find out how to bring Rocket back. This leaves him absent for much of the present-day movie, stuck reliving his tragic past, and the earliest friends he made. These tragic events would twist his future actions into those of anger and neurotic rejection of even his closest companions. It is unlike any other MCU film, deeply personal and imbued with such vociferous anger that it actually becomes a mess, half hanging onto what was originally intended, half channelling the mixed, spiking emotions of going back to deal with your monster, saying goodbye to your dear friends and moving on to other and better things. The world is better for the confluence of events that led us to getting our new Superman and a brighter future of the DC Universe, but it was Gunn who took the damage, and this film exemplifies that.

Meeting Sean Gunn, Daniel Logan, & Vivien Lyra Blair! Superman, Star Wars, Marvel, DC & MORE! Greg Alba hosts a high-energy panel at MultiCon featuring Sean Gunn (Maxwell Lord Superman: Legacy, Guardians of the Galaxy, Creature Commandos), Daniel Logan (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars), and Vivien Lyra Blair (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bird Box, We Can Be Heroes). The conversation kicks off with a celebration of fandoms—Marvel, DC, and Star Wars—and quickly dives into exclusive updates and heartfelt stories. Sean Gunn discusses his role in Superman: Legacy, his work as Rocket Raccoon's on-set reference, and reflects on working with his brother, James Gunn, while teasing the rumor of him playing Maxwell Lord in Superman. Daniel Logan shares insights into growing up as young Boba Fett, voicing the character in The Clone Wars, and his hopes of returning to Star Wars. He dives into the evolution of Boba's identity and his personal bond with Temuera Morrison. Vivien Lyra Blair talks about playing young Leia in Obi-Wan Kenobi, the possibility of a teenage Leia series, and how her martial arts background influenced her stunt-heavy roles in We Can Be Heroes and Obi-Wan Kenobi. She also shares hilarious stories about internet rumors surrounding her non-existent "brother" and her five cats. The panel takes fun turns, from debates on Skeleton Crew being more Goonies or Stranger Things to Sean's deep dive into mocap acting and his approach to portraying quirky characters like Weasel and Rocket Raccoon. The trio also reflects on fatherhood, mentorship, and the evolving dynamics of Hollywood franchises. MultiCon brought together some incredible talent, including Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay & Silent Bob), Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead), Rob Liefeld (Deadpool), Straw Hat Goofy (TikTok's Movie Guy), Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man 2), Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken), Tara Platt (Naruto), Isaac Robinson-Smith (Transformers: EarthSpark), Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead), Khary Payton (Teen Titans Go!, The Walking Dead), Scott Gimple (The Walking Dead), Kel Mitchell (Kenan & Kel), Monique Coleman (High School Musical), KayCee Stroh (High School Musical), Shar Jackson (Moesha), and Jason Carl (Vampire: The Masquerade), along with Dungeons & Dragons legends.

Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play hero shooter that draws inspiration from Overwatch, featuring 33 Marvel characters such as Squirrel Girl, Moon Knight, and Doctor Doom. The game offers familiar gameplay mechanics like payload delivery and point defense but introduces unique elements like destructible maps and team-up powers, where characters like Rocket Raccoon gain tactical advantages when paired with Groot. While the game shares a similar feel to Overwatch, it also adds fresh mechanics, such as interactive map elements, to keep gameplay engaging. Although there are some criticisms around tank mechanics and balancing, players get all characters upfront, and the battle pass is affordably priced at $5. The Guys expressed excitement about the game's nostalgic appeal and innovative Marvel-themed features. While acknowledging concerns like high cosmetic costs and early balancing issues, they agreed that Marvel Rivals is worth trying due to its accessible, free-to-play model and dynamic gameplay. They plan to delve deeper into the game and share more detailed impressions after further playtime, showcasing their optimism despite the few growing pains the game is experiencing. The discussion also covered rumors and speculation regarding Valve's potential new hardware, including a new VR headset and controller. Based on data mining and industry leaks, Valve seems to be ramping up its hardware initiatives, likely to capitalize on its strong presence in PC gaming through Steam. As Steam continues to break concurrent player records, fueled by major game releases, Valve's focus on expanding its hardware catalog may further strengthen its position in the market. The success of the Steam Deck and Index VR headset indicates a growing demand for portable and immersive gaming devices. Valve's potential move into dedicated gaming consoles was also explored, with leaks suggesting a new device featuring a built-in GPU, hinting at a shift from the Steam Deck model. Coupled with the development of SteamOS 3, new controllers, and third-party peripheral assets, Valve seems poised to expand beyond just software into a full-fledged hardware ecosystem. This push could position Valve as a competitive force in the console market, challenging the dominance of Sony and Microsoft with a more affordable, Steam-integrated alternative. The growing popularity of PC gaming and Valve's focus on user-friendly experiences suggest that the company could disrupt the market with a new console offering at a lower price point.

Our hosts return to the podcave and look under the hood of the episode, THE MECHANIC.Alex and Will talk about the introduction of Batman's personal mechanic, Earl Cooper and if they like this new addition to the "Bat Family" or not. They also wonder if Earl is a typical mechanic and taking Batman for all he's worth. As well as noticing that Batman can't take an obvious warning of danger and what special private feature Penguin's umbrella might come with. Our hosts also cast Earl Cooper in their live action fan-casted universe, but need your help to decide who it should be (see poll on Instagram or Spotify)! And Will talks about pages for Mobster Mash and his upcoming MARVEL book, Dr. Doom & Rocket Raccoon. Who should play Earl Cooper?

Historical data suggests a floor around 400,000 visits, likely good for fifth in the region, behind Killington, Okemo, Sunday River, and Mount Snow. But the exact numbers don't really matter, because the number of skiers that ski at Stratton each winter is many manys. And the number of skiers who have strong opinions about Stratton is that exact same number.Those numbers make Stratton more important than it should be. This is not the best ski area in Vermont. It's not even Alterra's best ski area in Vermont. Jay, MRG, Killington, Smuggs, Stowe, and sister resort Sugarbush are objectively better mountains than Stratton from a terrain point of view (they also get a lot more snow). But this may be one of the most crucial mountains in Alterra's portfolio, a doorway to the big-money East, a brand name for skiers across the region. Stratton is the only ski area that advertises in the New York City Subway, and has for years.But Stratton's been under a bit of stress. The lift system is aging. The gondola is terrible. Stratton was one of those ski areas that was so far ahead of the modernization curve – the mountain had four six-packs by 2001 – that it's now in the position of having to update all of that expensive stuff all at once. And as meaningful updates have lagged, Stratton's biggest New England competitors are running superlifts up the incline at a historic pace, while Alterra lobs hundreds of millions at its western megaresorts. Locals feel shafted, picketing an absentee landlord that they view as negligent. Meanwhile, the crowds pile up, as unlimited Ikon Pass access has holstered the mountain in hundreds of thousands of skiers' wintertime battle belts.If that all sounds a little dramatic, it only reflects the messages in my inbox. I think Alterra has been cc'd on at least some of those emails, because the company is tossing $20 million at Stratton this season, a sum that Jones tells us is just the beginning of massive long-term investment meant to reinforce the mountain's self-image as a destination on its own.What we talked aboutStratton's $20 million offseason; Act 250 masterplanning versus U.S. Forest Service masterplanning; huge snowmaking upgrades and aspirations; what $8 million gets you in employee housing these days; big upgrades for the Ursa and American Express six-packs; a case for rebuilding lifts rather than doing a tear-down and replace; a Tamarack lift upgrade; when Alterra's investment firehose could shift east; leaving Tahoe for Vermont; what can be done about that gondola?; the Kidderbrook lift; parking; RFID; Ikon Pass access levels; and $200 to ski Stratton.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewHow pissed do you think the Punisher was when Disney announced that Ant Man would be the 12th installment in Marvel's cinematic universe? I imagine him seated in his lair, polishing his grenades. “F*****g Ant Man?” He throws a grenade into one of his armored Jeeps, which disintegrates in a supernova of steel parts, tires, and smoke. “Ant Man. Are you f*****g serious with this? I waited through eleven movies. Eleven. Iron Man got three. Thor and Captain f*****g America got two apiece. The Hulk. Two Avengers movies. Something called ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,' about a raccoon and a talking tree that save the goddamn universe or some s**t. And it was my turn, Man. My. Turn. Do these idiots not know that I had three individual comic lines published concurrently in the 1990s? Do they not know that I'm ranked as the ninth-greatest Marvel superhero of all time on this nerd list? Do you know where Ant Man is ranked on that list? Huh? Well, I'll tell you: number 131, behind Rocket Raccoon, U-Go Girl, and Spider Man 2099, whatever the hell any of those are.” The vigilante then loads his rocket launcher and several machine guns into a second armored Jeep, and sets off in search of jaywalkers to murder.Anyway I imagine that's how Stratton felt as it watched the rest of Alterra's cinematic universe release one blockbuster after another. “Oh, OK, so Steamboat not only gets a second gondola, but they get a 600-acre terrain expansion served by their eighth high-speed quad? And it wasn't enough to connect the two sides of Palisades Tahoe with a gondola, but you threw in a brand-new six-pack? And they're tripling the size of Deer Valley. Tripling. 3,700 acres of new terrain and 16 new lifts and a new base village to go with it. That's equal to five-and-a-half Strattons. And Winter Park gets a new six-pack, and Big Bear gets a new six-pack, and Mammoth gets two. Do you have any idea how much these things cost? And I can't even get a gondola that can withstand wind gusts over three miles per hour? Even goddamn Snowshoe – Snowshoe – got a new lift before I did. I didn't even think West Virginia was actually a real place. I swear if these f*****s announce a new June Mountain out-of-base lift before I get my bling, things are gonna get Epic around here.”Well, it's finally Stratton's turn, with $20 million in upgrades inbound. Alterra wasn't exactly mining the depths of locals' dreams to decide where to deploy the cash – snowmaking, employee housing, lift overhauls – and a gondola replacement isn't coming anytime soon, but they're pretty smart investments when you dig into them. Which we do.Questions I wish I'd askedAmong the items that I would have liked to have discussed given more time: the Appalachian Trail's path across the top of Stratton Mountain, Stratton as birthplace of modern snowboarding, and the Stratton Mountain School.What I got wrong* I said that Epic Pass access had remained mostly unchanged for the past decade, which is not quite right. When Vail first added Stowe to the Epic Local Pass for the 2017-18 season, they slotted the resort into the bucket of 10 days shared with Vail, Beaver Creek, and Whistler. At some point, Stowe received its own basket of 10 days, apart from the western resorts.* I said that Sunday River's Jordan eight-pack was wind-resistant “because of the weight.” While that is one factor, the lift's ability to run in high winds relies on a more complex set of anti-sway technology, none of which I really understand, but that Sunday River GM Brian Heon explained on The Storm earlier this year:Why you should ski StrattonA silent skiing demarcation line runs roughly along US 4 through Vermont. Every ski area along or above this route – Killington, Pico, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Stowe, Smuggs – lets trails bump up, maintains large glade networks, and generally provides you with balanced, diverse terrain. Everything below that line – Okemo, Bromley, Mount Snow – generally don't do any of these things, or offer them sporadically, and in the most shrunken form possible. There are some exceptions on both sides. Saskadena Six, a bump just north of US 4, operates more like the Southies. Magic, in the south, better mirrors the MRG/Sugarbush model. And then there's Stratton.Good luck finding bumps at Stratton. Maybe you'll stumble onto the remains of a short competition course here or there, but, generally, this is a groom-it-all-every-day kind of ski area. Which would typically make it a token stop on my annual rounds. But Stratton has one great strength that has long made it a quasi-home mountain for me: glades.The glade network is expansive and well-maintained. The lines are interesting and, in places, challenging. You wouldn't know this from the trailmap, which portrays the tree-skiing areas as little islands lodged onto Stratton's hulk. But there are lots of them, and they are plenty long. On a typical pow day, I'll park at Sun Bowl and ski all the glades from Test Pilot over to West Pilot and back. It takes all day and I barely touch a groomer.And the glades are open more often than you'd think. While northern Vermont is the undisputed New England snow king, with everything from Killington north counting 250-plus inches in an average winter, the so-called Golden Triangle of Stratton, Bromley, and Magic sits in a nice little micro-snow-pocket. And Stratton, the skyscraping tallest peak in that region of the state, devours a whole bunch (180 inches on average) to fill in those glades.And if you are Groomer Greg, you're in luck: Stratton has 99 of them. And the grooming is excellent. Just start early, because they get scraped off by the NYC hordes who camp out there every weekend. The obsessive grooming does make this a good family spot, and the long green trail from the top down to the base is one of the best long beginner runs anywhere.Podcast NotesOn Act 250This is the 20th Vermont-focused Storm Skiing Podcast, and I think we've referenced Act 250 in all of them. If you're unfamiliar with this law, it is, according to the official state website:…Vermont's land use and development law, enacted in 1970 at a time when Vermont was undergoing significant development pressure. The law provides a public, quasi-judicial process for reviewing and managing the environmental, social and fiscal consequences of major subdivisions and developments in Vermont. It assures that larger developments complement Vermont's unique landscape, economy and community needs. One of the strengths of Act 250 is the access it provides to neighbors and other interested parties to participate in the development review process. Applicants often work with neighbors, municipalities, state agencies and other interested groups to address concerns raised by a proposed development, resolving issues and mitigating impacts before a permit application is filed.On Stratton's masterplanStratton is currently updating its masterplan. It will retain some elements of this 2013 version. Some elements of this – most notably a new Snow Bowl lift in 2018 – have been completed:One curious element of this masterplan is the proposed lift up the Kidderbrook trail – around 2007, Stratton removed a relatively new (installed 1989) Poma fixed-grip quad from that location. Here it is on the far left-hand side of the 2005 trailmap:On Stratton's ownership historyStratton's history mirrors that of many large New England ski areas: independent founders run the ski area for decades; founders fall into financial peril and need private equity/banking rescue; bank sells to a giant out-of-state conglomerate; which then sells to another giant out-of-state conglomerate; which eventually turns into something else. In Stratton's case, Robert Wright/Frank Snyder -> Moore and Munger -> Japanese company Victoria USA -> Intrawest -> Alterra swallows the carcass of Intrawest. You can read all about it on New England Ski History.Here was Intrawest's roster, if you're curious:On Alterra's building bingeSince its 2018 founding, Alterra has invested aggressively in its properties: a 2.4-mile-long, $65 million gondola connecting Alpine Meadows to the Olympic side of Palisades Tahoe; $200 million in the massive Mahogany Ridge expansion and a three-mile-long gondola at Steamboat; and an untold fortune on Deer Valley's transformation into what will be the fourth-largest ski area in the United States. Plus new lifts all over the place, new snowmaking all over the place, new lodges all over the place. Well, all over the place except for at Stratton, until now.On Boyne and Vail's investments in New EnglandAmplifying Stratton Nation's pain is the fact that Alterra's two big New England competitors – Vail Resorts and Boyne Resorts – have built a combined 16 new lifts in the region over the past five years, including eight-place chairs at Loon and Sunday River (Boyne), and six-packs at Stowe, Okemo, and Mount Snow (Vail). They've also replaced highly problematic legacy chairs at Attitash (Vail) and Pleasant Mountain (Boyne). Boyne has also expanded terrain at Loon, Sunday River, and, most notably – by 400 acres – Sugarloaf. And it's worth noting that independents Waterville Valley and Killington have also dropped new sixers in recent years (Killington will build another next year). Meanwhile, Alterra's first chairlift just landed this summer, at Sugarbush, which is getting a fixed-grip quad to replace the Heaven's Gate triple.On gondola wind holdsJust in case you want to blame windholds on some nefarious corporate meddling, here's a video I took of Kirkwood's Cornice Express spinning in 50-mile-per-hour winds when Jones was running the resort last year. Every lift has its own distinct profile that determines how it manages wind.On shifting Ikon Pass accessWhen Alterra launched the Ikon Pass in 2018, the company limited Base Pass holders to five days at Stratton, with holiday blackouts. Ahead of the 2020-21 season, the company updated Base Pass access to unlimited days with those same holiday blackouts. Alterra and its partners have made several such changes in Ikon's seven years. I've made this nifty chart that tracks them all (if you missed the memo, Solitude just upgraded Ikon Base pass access to eliminate holiday blackouts):On historic Stratton lift ticket pricesAgain, New England Ski History has done a nice job documenting Stratton's year-to-year peak lift ticket rates:The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

We begin our examination of acclaimed comics writer/artist Keith Giffen. Perhaps most famous as a co-creator of the 1980s run of Justice League (the "B players" era), Giffen also either created or massively influenced: Lobo, Legion of Super Heroes, Rocket Raccoon (and kinda sorta Guardians of the Galaxy), the modern Blue Beetle and much more. This episode, we're looking at Ambush Bug. Specifically a 4 issue mini series that came out in 1985. The Bug knew he was in a comic, made very inside baseball references to the comics industry, and was a hit with the young Milksops. Ambush Bug stories aren't just funny, they are ambitious comics that jump around different genres, skip around in time and space, refuse to hold the reader's hand --- all the while being genuinely funny. The Bug brought out the maverick in Giffen, and this mini series is a genuine joy. Email us at screwitcomics@gmail.com

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your one-stop-shop for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. Although almost half of the episodes of Daredevil: Born Again had been shot when production was halted due to the writer's strike, Marvel Studios has decided to start over! They quietly let go head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman and also released the attached directors as part of a significant creative reboot of the series according to The Hollywood Reporter. The studio is now on the hunt for new writers and directors with a different take. Daredevil is a property that many feel the Netflix show nailed on tone, plot, and writing, and there has been some pushback about the supposed Disneyfication of the darker characters in their appearances thus far on Disney+. New York Comic Con was hosted last week and brought forth a swath of new trailers spanning several different genres, A fresh sneak peek of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live which will premiere in February, A full trailer for Netflix's Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, premiering on November 17, A new look at Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, releasing 2 episodes globally Nov. 17, And The first trailer for the upcoming anime series Dragon Ball: Daima. which is set to premiere in the fall of 2024. With the actors still on strike, comic cons have become more attuned to their name this year and there was a bunch of exciting comic book news released at New York Comic Con. We'll briefly break these down by franchise. Marvel Comics A Miss Minutes comic was teased from Marvel editor-in-chief C.B. Celbuski. Artist Peach Momoko is the creative force behind a new Ultimate X-Men series and Marvel is also launching the first Ultimate Black Panther series. The mainstream Marvel Universe is heading toward a vampire-themed crossover event written by Avengers author Jed McKay. Scarlet Witch and Quiksilver will be getting a new comic run in 2024 celebrating the duo's 60th anniversary and will be an evolution of the current ongoing Scarlet Witch series by Steve Orlando and Lorenzo Tammetta.. DC Comics Return of the Elseworlds announced as an imprint, with no less than six new series. DC will reprint Batman #428 - the issue that killed Jason Todd's Robin - the new reprint will be an alternate version. We'll be Getting a John Constantine/Hellblazer series from Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell. Star Wars/Lucasfilm Publishing Jody House and Timothy Zahn are headlining an adaptation of Zahn's Thrawn: Alliances novel into comic format starting in January.. Marc Bernardin will helm a new Mace Windu miniseries to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, also to begin in January. Lucasfilm also showed covers for some Dark Horse Star Wars comics and announced a new line of graphic novels tackling Qui-Gon Jinn, written by George Mann, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, written by Cecil Castelucci. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse begins streaming on Netflix on October 31. Last week, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers declared that negotiations with SAG-AFTRA are suspended, given that the gap between the parties is “too great.” Netflix has picked up the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy following the show's cancellation by Paramount+ in June. Season 1 which was previously available on Paramount+, will be released on Netflix later in 2023. The second season, currently in production, will debut on Netflix in 2024. In a new copyright filing by Marvel Studios, it's been revealed Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing "Mystery Man" in the upcoming Ironheart series. Previously reported rumors have pointed toward the Borat star playing the villain Mephisto. Keith Giffen, a legendary comic creator known for his work on Justice League International and Legion of Super-Heroes, as well as co-creating characters like Rocket Raccoon, Lobo, and Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle, has passed away at the age of 70.

In this new issue of The Comic Section Podcast, we begin by paying our condolences to the legendary comic creator, Keith Giffen. Giffen was known for his iconic work on titles like Justice League International and Legion of Super-Heroes, as well as co-creating beloved characters such as Rocket Raccoon, Lobo, and Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle. His passing at the age of 70 will be a significant loss to the comic book community, and we reflect on his contributions and impact. Shifting to the world of Hollywood, we covered the recent developments in the entertainment industry. The Hollywood writers' strike officially came to an end when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) voted to ratify its contract with the AMPTP, the organization representing major studios and production companies. However, we discuss how the actors remain on the picket line, with no clear resolution in sight, shedding light on the ongoing labor disputes in the industry. Marvel fans will be in for some noteworthy updates as the podcast reports that Daredevil writers and directors have been fired, signaling a creative reboot for the Disney+ series. This change could potentially bring a fresh direction to the beloved character and show. The future of DC Universe and the casting updates for Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and the rest of the Justice League will be discussed, providing insight into what's in store for DC's cinematic universe. A new research brief from the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative will also be explored, as it tests various factors believed to contribute to box office performance, offering a deeper understanding of the industry's dynamics. Anime enthusiasts will find exciting news as Crunchyroll launches a free 24-Hour anime channel, providing an additional avenue for enjoying their favorite animated series. We also reveal that Miramax has secured the TV rights for 'Halloween' in a broad agreement with Trancas, hinting at the potential expansion of the cinematic universe around this iconic horror franchise. Trailers for upcoming movies will be featured, including A24's 'The Iron Claw' starring Zac Efron and the second trailer for 'Wonka' starring Timothée Chalamet, offering listeners a sneak peek at these highly anticipated films. In the review segment, Rigel will share his thoughts on R.L. Stine's 'Zombietown,' and 'Hulu's No One Will Save You,' providing valuable insights and opinions on these pieces of entertainment. Tune in to The Comic Section Podcast for a comprehensive dive into the latest developments in the world of comics, movies, and entertainment, along with heartfelt remembrance of a comic legend.

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode which also happens to be another Channel KRT crossover, in which the very awesome Kit Quinn "makes" us watch one of the very finest pieces of mainstream filmmaking of the 2010s, a megabudgeted CGI-heavy blockbuster tentpole sequel set in an expansive cinematic universe in which visionary writer/director James Gunn, rather than simply make a soulless cash grab and let the franchise spin its wheels, uses his uniquely enormous canvas to tell an emotionally affecting fable about the desperation of loss, the ripple effect of abuse, the joys and pitfalls of parenting, and ultimately the power of the bonds we form between each other. It's also got a talking raccoon, a character named "Taserface," a David Hasselhoff cameo, and a scene where the main character turns himself into Pac-Man.

“Who's your favorite?” Several years ago my boys asked me this question while I was driving them to school. They were talking about superheroes and sharing their favorites. The boys shared names like Green Lantern, Batman and a little rodent with a big mouth named Rocket Raccoon (don't ask!). After sharing that mine was Superman, I was stunned to learn that the fellas had reached the ripe old ages of 7, 9 and 11 without watching this classic. That evening, we made popcorn and watched the movie as a family. The kids loved it – and him. Afterwards, they were all humming the Superman theme song as they flew down the hall toward their rooms. While watching the movie, I realized that Superman wasn't just showing me how to fight crime in a fictional world, but how to parent, serve and lead in the one in which we live. Here are four lessons from Superman for parents (interchange “parents' with friends, spouses, leaders) that apply to us all.

We're officially only one hundred episodes away from TWO THOUSAND (numbered) episodes! Time flies when you're talking about comics, I must say. Spoilers abound, as Chris, Shane, Ben, Murd and Ian traverse space, Zune in hand, for what could potentially be the Guardians last ride. How did The High Evolutionary land as a villain? Are Mantis and Drax the best comedy duo in the MCU? Is Cosmo good dog? Will Peter Quill ever get his act together enough to be Star-Lord? What about Gamora and Nebula, can these two sisters get along? Did Adam Warlock stack up to expectations? Was there crying over Rocket Raccoon's backstory? Is this a worthy farewell for James Gunn, as he heads firmly to the Distinguished Competition moving forward? And finally, most importantly...I Am Groot? (1:31:34)

Ravey and Courtney get out their Kleenex and pour over the emotionalizing Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

In Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, our heroes are attacked by a new mysterious villain, and must embark on a dangerous mission to save the life of Rocket Raccoon. Written and directed by James Gunn, the movie brings back Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel as our ever-expanding Guardians team. It's in theaters now.

As the Titan god Kronos' creation, Drax the Destroyer has spent most of his existence either trying to kill Thanos or dealing with the fact that others have already done it. Drax survived the Annihilation Wave and made some important allies. As part of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he joined Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and others whose unique abilities and strong bonds make them resilient to whatever the cosmos throws at them. But underneath all that, did you know that Drax the Destroyer is secretly Drax the Sax Man? Let's dive deep into his comic book history before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 hits theaters!
