Gretchen: That is so fetch!
Regina: Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It’s not going to happen!

Gretchen, Regina’s right hand bitch, tried to make “So fetch!” happen. She really did. But alas, it did not. Queen bee Regina’s antagonism didn’t help. But what if it did happen? This being Mean Girls Week, I feel that it’s my duty as a responsible blogger to ask and explore the question “What if So fetch! happened?”

It’s the last day of DVD Week and I’ve decided to make it special. So far, I’ve featured movies on DVD. It’s time to unleash the first TV show on this stupid blog series. Ladies and gents, Heroes Season 1!

…

Stupid crickets. Anyhoo, I have longed to watch episodes of the first season of Heroes as a single cohesive unit for months, and thanks to my former girlfriend (a topic for another time), I’ll long no more.

The 7-issue mini-series isn’t the most interesting thing about Marvel’s Civil War event. I think what happens after Civil War will be more entertaining and interesting than the event itself. The whole Marvel landscape will be radically changed, and the status quo will be a world of uncertainty, just the way I like it.

With Marvel’s May solicitations, I find myself impatiently craving for the arrival of the post-war stories. Heroes will mourn one of their own after the events of next week’s Civil War finale. New heroes will enter the neverending battle through the 50-state Initiative. A new Fantastic Four will come in the form of the Thing, the Human Torch, Storm, and the Black Panther. The Hulk will finally be on his journey towards home, presumably to kick everyone’s ass. Two Avengers teams kick it to high gear. Nova, after the events of Annihilation, will come back home to a completely changed world. Plus a whole lot more. And that’s just for May. It’s going to be a good time to be a Marvel fan after Civil War.

With all the attention comic books are getting in the mainstream media in recent years due to the popularity of comics-inspired movies, now is a good time as ever to profess my love for the sequential arts. Not that I’m ashamed of loving a medium that mainly focuses on men in colorful tights. It’s just that before this age of comics appreciation, there was a time when the world looked down upon comics as nothing more than bad entertainment and poison for young minds. You wondering why? Pay attention, kiddies. I’m going to give you a quick look into the quirky old world of comics. Let me start by saying that comics of yore were viewed by some as very suggestive reading materials for the youth, hence Dr. Fredric Wertham’s Seduction of the Innocent. What an ass. It was all in his mind. It’s not like a comic book can suggest too much to a young and innocent mind.

The new roster of the New Avengers has been revealed. Some hate it because it’s not the “real” Avengers. People, things doesn’t always have to be the way they were when you were 12, okay? The fun part of reading comics is that characters change, team rosters change, the over-all direction of a monthly series change. The status quo needs to be shaken up once in a while to keep things interesting and fresh. Quit whining.

Some people do love the new roster that includes Echo, Ronin, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and that Peter Parker dude. It’s definitely not the “classic” Avengers. This group will apparently be formed as per Captain America’s wishes after Civil War ends. Cap’s fate will probably be decided in the last issue of Civil War, where he’ll probably die or give up being a costumed hero. Or maybe he’ll become too emo after Civil War and begin to wear another costume like, say, Ronin’s.
