Graphic Novel Review: Paper Girls: The Complete Story
The Eisner-award-winning, fan-lauded comic series finally came to its definitive conclusion and a complete, full-colour collection, clocking in a 800 or so pages, became available in October of last year. This year, Amazon will present the first season of its TV adaptation. We offer it as a special New Year’s review.
In 1988, a group of 12-year-old bike-riding paper carriers in a small-town-seeming suburb of Cleveland encounter an SF mystery that will send them careening through time and space.
Note: Paper Girls started publication a year before anyone heard of Stranger Things.
Trailer: Sandman on Netflix
Here’s hoping the adaptation works….

I hadn’t found a nice, easy to read list, so I figured I’d compile one, and throw in my own commentary. Also, there’s a 90 second clip of Wonder Woman’s directory Patty Jenkins announcing one of the projects that I felt was best enjoyed without a setup, so watch that before reading more. Please feel free to comment and add any more details, refute my statements, and/or join in my speculations.

The Fantastic Four enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Jon Watts, no stranger to superhero films, will be directing the long-awaited entry of The Fantastic Four into the MCU.
The heroes of the World’s Greatest Comic Magazine have experienced their share of dubious adaptations. Will the MCU magic work again? Will Reed be one of those students funded by Tony Stark a few movies ago?
And who would you cast?
