In 1986, following the reality altering mega event The Crisis On Infinite Earths, DC Comics did the unthinkable.  They completely reworked their entire comic book continuity and history and became the first comic company to do a full line wide retcon of their publishing base.

A multi-verse had been condensed and combined into one single universe.

Join us now as we take an in-depth look at this new world, meet the new heroes that would become legends, and navigate a reworked timeline in our third episode of Understanding DC Comics Continuity: A New Earth!

In organized fandom, “continuity” can be a trigger word for many fanboys and fangirls out there. Continuity is what ties a universe full of stories together. But it can also be a detrimental roadblock for anyone attempting to understand and digest 30, 40, 50…hell, even 80 years worth of content. No matter what corner of pop culture you reside in, whether it’s superhero comics, RPG games or even long running television series, the want or need to keep everything straight is a daunting challenge. That's why we ask the question… Does Continuity In Comics Books Matter?

As comic fans, the idea of a live action film representation fills us with glee. Especially if it’s a property we’ve been following for awhile. But until recently, Hollywood hasn’t always had the source material’s best interests at heart. That being said, there are still a lot of adaptations that delivered But did anyone other than the fans notice? Now that comic book films are starting to get recognized during award season, it’s time for some retroactive nominating. That’s why we’ve decided to go back in time and look at our favorite Comic Book Movies Overlooked For Awards!

In 1977, a movie was released that changed the world of filmmaking and fandom forever. That movie was George Lucas’s Star Wars. It was groundbreaking and had all the right ingredients to create a universe filled with epic stories and larger than life characters. Since then, audiences and fans have been treated to a number of films, books, comics and television shows, all with varying levels of quality, depending on who you talk to.

In 2012, George Lucas sold Lucasfilm and the Star Wars intellectual property to Disney for just over $4 billion dollars. Since then, audiences and fans have been treated to another round of films, books, comics and television shows, all at the expense of most of what came before. Join My Big Fat Pull List while we look at the end of the Skywalker Saga during a review of Star Wars: The Disney Trilogy!

Movies and television based off comic books are a staple in modern entertainment. The quality may vary, but the quantity can not be denied. When the source material is adapted, it’s not uncommon for changes to be made. Some time even major changes. And once in awhile those changes can make the story…better. But not always.

Welcome to My Big Fat Pull List’s premier episode of Comic vs Adaptation, where in we discuss the differences when the comic pages jump to life on the big, or little, screen and determine which version is better. In this episode we have the difficult task of comparing the 2003 comic book Wanted with its nearly unrecognizable 2008 film version!
