Every time I see one of these ridiculous oconcepts form DC or Marvel, I just think on how I can do it better, and then I execute it better on every level. If you haven’t seen it already, yes, this is real. Now i can do an alien girl in high school struggling with friends, […]

Richard C. Meyer Doing Things Right
Unless someone’s in the forefront of whatever drama of the week is going on, very few pay attention to folk who are going out on their own. But int a lot of ways, that’s what Meyer’s done. He didn’t embattle himself in a lot of twitter drama and get caught up in the purity testing […]
Now Your Spider-Man Is Racist
You should probably replace him with the nu-Spider-Man who is much more adequately diverse. With the series addition to Disney Plus, ‘Sunfire’ now bears a 12-second disclaimer before the episode officially plays, which warns viewers that “this program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures,” based solely on the fact that Starfire and […]
Conservative, Inc. Loves To Complain
Every few days I see a copule of conservative blue checks, “gosh golly, we need to address the culture! Why are there no conservative artists?” Here’s the latest. Every time, someone tags me on the post as “hey Jon Del Arroz is creating culture.” I lay out that I’ve attempted to write about culture for […]
The Problem Of Comic Book People
At this point it has to be a flaw in the mentality of the comic person. Left or right, group or not, artist or fan, there seems to be a common denominator of completely unsociable asshole that permeates through the comic industry. Nothing exemplifies this pattern more than what we see in the Disney+ 616 […]
#DisneyMustPay – More Corporate Nonsense From Devil Mouse
Now it appears they’re not even paying authors they hired to do their movie adaptations: When you purchased Lucasfilm you acquired the rights to some books I wrote. STAR WARS, the novelization of the very first film. SPLINTER OF THE MIND’S EYE, the first sequel novel. You owe me royalties on these books. You stopped […]
Celebrating The Life Of Ann Eisner
Ann Eisner, wife of comics legend Will Eisner died at 97 late last week, according to a source close to the family. A lot of times stories like this get overlooked, but the women in our lives are integral to our success as we are, and they should be recognized. Will is best known for […]
Dear DC Comics – Hispanics Don’t Refer to Ourselves As “Latinx”
There’s nothing more insulting to Hispanic heritage and culture than the whole LatinX word. I’ve made fun of it since it started gaining traction, as the entire concept of the word is a middle finger to the Spanish language, which is beautifully crafted with feminine and masculine words. I daresay it’s the most romantic and […]
Ranking Every Star Trek Movie
Not the new ones, as I didn’t bother rewatching those recently. Those are just parodies of Trek in my opinion. But the old movies are like this in my opinion: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home – This is just too funny and cute. It’s pure fan service across the board as the aging crew […]
An Interview With Me
Author Stanley Wheeler did a very nice interview with me this weekend, mostly focused on writing and my goals here with the culture. I’ll send you there for your daily blog reading this morning. Make sure to thank him for covering me! I know it’s a risk in this day and age. Here’s the full […]
Peacefully Protesting Thanksgiving
Well you can’t have more than 2-3 families, California says. So instead of Thanksgiving I’m going to hold a peaceful protest since there seem to be no fear of COVID among those events, nor any finger wagging about them other than “stay safe out there” and a pat on the back. At some point, we’ve […]
Even James Bond Is Replaced
There’s no care for any character anymore. Every corporation must be purged in order to bring about a cultural change. He said: “No Time to Die’s Lashana Lynch’s recent announcement confirms a number things long suspected by eagle-eyed Bond fans: that Lynch’s character Nomi will, in fact, be ‘007’ in the next James Bond film, […]
