Is the new EVENT from the Big Two worth reading?

In the comic book industry, the hip thing to do nowadays is to take a book, doesn’t matter if it’s a team or solo title, end its run and then start up a brand new volume. And not just every once in a while, but all the damn time! They think sales will go up because comic collectors loooove a shiny new #1. Being suckers for a popular trend, we decided to follow suit with our return. Don’t Call It A Relaunch…Welcome To Volume 3 of My Big Fat Pull List!

With the rise of geek culture sweeping the world, and the staggering amount of technology that connects us all, it’s no wonder we’ve seen a frightening increase of “Nerd Rage”. Not wanting to add fuel to the fire, we here at My Big Fat Pull List have decided to take a look at some of the rage inducing topics that have plagued comic books recently (and not so recently) and attempt to put them into a perspective even Smurphy could understand. It’s our look at Controversy In Comics!

In the 70’s, we believed a man could fly in Superman. In the 80’s we had a dark knight watching out for us in Batman. And in the 90’s we had anti-heroes kicking ass and taking names in The Mask, Spawn and Blade. But it wasn’t until the turn of the century that a film came along that redefined the way comic book superhero movies would be accepted by fans and critics alike. We live in an age of On Screen Superheroes thanks to The X-Men!

Iron your yellow spandex suit one last time and grab a box of tissues. We’re delivering the eulogy for the seventh highest grossing film series in movie history as we look back on the X-Men Film Franchise.

The number of visual art forms is staggering. Film, Television, live Theater, sculptures and paintings. None of those get us more excited than comic books! They may have been deemed the cause of juvenile delinquency over an half century ago, but today, comics are finally being recognized as the legitimate art form that they are! Bottom line…a writer can craft a story, the artist brings it to life.

During this episode, we’ll be sharing our favorite comic book artist, their work, what it means to us and…are inkers just tracers? It’s The Art Of It All on My Big Fat Pull List!

Few characters have stood the test of time like Peter Parker, the masked web head known as Spider-Man! With a plethora of comic books, film series and animated adventures, you’d have to go out of your way to NOT have encountered something attached to the wall crawlers legacy. Funny enough, in this age of streaming services and constant releases of comic book based content, it’s no surprise that you may have missed SOMETHING.

And that’s just what happened.

Join Pistol Danger as he sits Mister X and Smurphy down for a brief education into the world of the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series during this episode of MBFPL’s Observe & Report!

If you were a child of the 80’s then it was a safe bet you experienced the Mega Marketing craze of that decade. A cartoon show would debut and with it an eye catching line of toys and a tie-in comic book. With so much sensory overload, what was an 80’s kid to do?! Beg, plead and scream at our parents until they caved and bought them ALL for us, that’s what!

Join the Geeks, led by the lovable Smurphy, as they put out an all points bulletin on a group of brave men and women known as G.I. Joe, during this episode of Most Wanted!
