We are not a sports page but we need for Neil deGrasse Tyson to explain what was going on with the planet for two kickers to miss back to back kicks in the Steelers vs Ravens game.

I went to see Wicked For Good today on IMAX despite all the so so reviews for the second outing of this film. I have been holding space for Wicked: For Good, since I never saw the stage play I had no opinions in how the second act should be.

Following on, The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) has employed Glinda (Arianna Grande) and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) to lead a campaign against Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) while she does her best to spread the truth that the Wizard has no real power and is turning people on each other to keep his grip on power.

It was a decent film with alot filler but this is a musical so I was not really that invested in the story. I really wished that some of the minor characters were fleshed out more because the more I saw Arianna Grande it was really starting to give magical negro vibes. The more Erivo pushed the story it felt Grande ineptitude was more and more to the forefront. The Musical performances were on amazing for the price of admission. The songs themselves not so much.

It is a decent film to watch especially if you saw the 1st part would I do another 9am for a sequel like this probably not.

Our Book of the week: Capes #1

The Invincible Universe is expanding once again, as Robert Kirkman has announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Capes, his long-out-of-print superhero series, is getting remastered editions from Skybound. And not only that, it’s coming back for new issues, as well.

Co-created with artist Mark Englert, Capes focuses on a group of heroes for hire who work 9-to-5 jobs as superheroes. Set in the Invincible Universe, the series was first released 20 years ago, and the new editions will feature new art and dialogue from Kirkman and Englert.

Following the release of the remasters, Benito Cereno will take over writing duties on Capes, alongside Englert. And they’ll be continuing the original series’s numbering with Capes #7.

“With so much excitement surrounding all things Invincible-related, I knew we had to get Capes back in print!” said Kirkman via press release. “Revisiting the original issues was so much fun, we knew we couldn’t stop there. I love these characters and it was a thrill to get to introduce the world to Bolt, Kid Thor and Knockout in Invincible season 3. If the world wants more Capes how can we not give it to them?”
