The Boys Season 2
The first few episodes of The Boys are out and the internet reaction for the most part has been insufferable. Between internet incels talking shit about Erin Moriarty’s looks and creatively illiterate morons screaming that this season is suffering from “bad writing” (something they couldn’t possibly be more specific about because they have no idea what would actually constitute bad writing) this season of The Boys is certainly being talked about. That said I think the new season is off to a great start and it feels literally exactly like the previous 3 seasons that we have gotten. Before we get started with The Boys season 2, episode 4 let’s do a quick recap up to this point, Butcher is dying, Huey’s mom is back, Firecracker is coming after Starlight and for some reason Sister Sage and The Deep slept together…Okay well here we go.

Are you as confused as me?
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a big fan of the HBO show Game of Thrones. I thought George R.R. Martin was a genius, and I thought the team that brought us the show was simply brilliant. I refer to that show very often as I got to know all of the main characters very well glued to each episode and rewatching it on DVD multiple times.

Alternate Universes
The alternate universes used by both Marvel and DC can get quite confusing. Each one serves a different purpose and some are only used once. So how does one keep track of all of them and how do you know if the comic book you want to read is from the main continuity or not? Well we are going to talk about all of that as we explain each of the alternate universes that exist in both Marvel and DC, 1 by 1. Now let’s start with why alternate universes exist; for the most part an alternate universe is created so that a writer can explore a storyline that doesn’t connect to the main universe. Whether that means that a character is doing something uncharacteristic or they want to put them in a completely different setting. How do the writers keep track? Well the honest answer is that they don't, which, for the most part, means that you don’t have to either. But we will also talk about how to tell if something is in a different continuity.

Marvel/DC Crossovers
We are talking about Marvel and DC crossovers again and this time we have 1 really fun and interactive crossover and one not so great crossover. As a fun reminder that not every comic book storyline is a winner. Crossovers are a fun way to explore new ideas and interesting storylines but sometimes they aren’t actually executed that well and that’s okay.
