Best of 2016: Comics
Best series: Ms. Marvel (G. Willow Wilson) Sure, it’s the comic we need right now. A Muslim-American girl superhero is, distressingly, only becoming more and more crucially relevant with each passing day. G. Willow Wilson’s Ms. Marvel is also insanely good, the most consistently engaging (emotionally and otherwise) title in Marvel’s roster, or pretty much anywhere. Like Runaways…

Destroy All Monsters: Michael Giacchino’s ROGUE ONE Rebellion
Since the announcement four years ago that Disney would buy Lucasfilm and begin making new Star Wars movies, this moment has been inevitable: excepting Kevin Kiner’s fine, fun work on the briefly-theatrically-released Clone Wars pilot, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the first Star Wars feature film with music composed by someone other than…

Toys 2K16: Report
I turned 40 this year. I mention that only because it’s worth noting that either directly or indirectly, my age drove my toy purchases up – not, I think, in a vain attempt to recapture my youth, but more because as of this year ID(officially)GAF. I make a good keep. I bought a place to live. I…

Destroy All Monsters: THE PHANTOM MENACE Started The Conversation On Fan Entitlement
We are in the midst of a renewed conversation about fandom’s relationship with the properties they cherish. This is thanks in no small part to (of all things!) a white male internet dweeb proclaiming to all who would listen that he is putting his foot down and not watching Ghostbusters this summer. Honestly: if you…

Destroy All Monsters: Nostalgia, Loss, And Purple Rain
Turns out I had a few things to say about losing Prince. And, as usual, writing this made me feel better. Crank “Purple Rain” while you read this and try to get to the bottom in time for the “wooo-hooo-hooo-oooo.” It’s worth it.

Destroy All Monsters: Mindfulness In STAR WARS
This one, obviously, means a lot to me! I’ve been on the mindfulness/meditation journey for a couple of years now, ever since I decided to start taking the fight back to my own anxiety disorder (which isn’t a very mindful notion, is it?). The importance of mindfulness as an anxiety strategy, and its centrality in…

Destroy All Monsters: “Our Lot In Life” – Droid Personhood In STAR WARS
The question of gender as it relates to droids is interesting, if only in how it connects to the other, less-discussed aspect of these characters from the Star Wars saga: the status of their personhood. Gender is one of the great convocations of personhood; or at least, one of the most significant rubrics by which…
