Read More"This week we come to you once more with two Four Color Television columns, our regularly scheduled Wednesday column will pick up where we left off last week in our exploration of how alike our TV heroes are to their comic book counterparts by looking at characters from Legends of Tomorrow. Today though is our San Diego Comic Con wrap up, where we’ll look at all the really cool Four Color film and TV news you might have missed in the deluge of SDCC content."
Read More"For the next few weeks our Four Color Television articles will strive to answer a very specific question: “Just how much like the Comic Books characters are the DC CW Characters?” This week we’re going to start with what may just be the shortest Four Color TV article yet: How much is Arrow like Green Arrow?"
Read More"He’s been the Mayor for an entire summer, his sister is his personal assistant, his best friend rejoined the army as a sane alternative to prowling the streets as a vigilante, his ex girlfriend is the only one still hanging out with him in the Arrow Cave and she keeps nagging him to make some new friends already. It might be time for Oliver to put some sleeves on his costume and get back to patrolling Star City in Season 5 of Arrow."
Read More"When last we saw Barry Allen he had flipped the table and destroyed his entire timeline in order to prevent the Reverse Flash from ever killing his mother and Zoom from killing his father. With The Flash erased from existence who knows what changes could have happened to the DCCW timeline? Over the summer between Season Two and Season Three the buzzword was: “Flashpoint” a reference to a major event in the DC comics continuity that started with the exact same time travel event. How long would it be before they restored the timeline? Would the CW Flashpoint be as dark as the DC comics Flashpoint? Not long, and not really."

Read More"One person is responsible for modern superhero comics. Who that one person is can spark an argument among comic fans even though it shouldn't. Some will say that person is Stan Lee; another group would say it was Jack Kirby; while still others would say that the modern age of comics began thanks to Julius Schwartz. All three of those names are dead wrong. The modern superhero comic exists because of Joan Lee."

Read More"When we last saw Barry Allen he was running up a building to leap into a dangerous singularity poised to swallow Central City. Season One’s shocking cliffhanger left us with so many questions: 1. Does Barry save the day? 2. What does he do next? 3. With the death of the Reverse Flash is Barry finally “The Fastest Man Alive?” 4. What was up with that metal helmet that fell out of the Speed Force? The answer to those burning questions are as follows: 1. Of course he saves the day, but it happens off screen and we don’t see much of it. 2. He saves the day and then he broods, alone, for an entire summer. 3. Of course he isn’t the fastest man alive, he’s never going to be the fastest man alive. 4. That helmet is a little piece of awesome that comic fans know as the costume of The Original Flash. With those questions asked and answered, it’s time to get your best lightning bolt logos on and show up in downtown Central City for Flash Day, because it’s time for Season Two."
