7 Days in May | Who’s strong and brave; here to save the American Way?
Hellboy (2004)
Last week, I got sidetracked from a Marvel re-watch by Red Skull's Raiders of the Lost Ark reference in Captain America: The First Avenger. This week I followed that up with more treasure-hunting Nazis in Hellboy, even though they don't really drive the plot of that movie. Since most of the action takes place in the present, the Nazis are a distant memory with only a few mad villains carrying on their schemes for personal reasons. In First Avenger, Hydra is differentiated from other Nazis too, but their style is similar and they're operating during WWII, so it feels a lot more like Nazis than Hellboy does.
I still like Hellboy, but eleven years later I'm over the initial thrill of having him brought to life on screen, which means I'm less forgiving of some of the changes the movie makes. I don't mind putting Hellboy and Liz Sherman into a romantic relationship, but I do mind Hellboy's pining over her. And while I love Jeffrey Tambor as Tom Manning - and even enjoy that the character is kind of a dick - I think his animosity towards Hellboy is overplayed. These aren't things that ruin the movie for me by any means. In fact, I used to defend them as valid choices to introduce some needed drama to the BPRD team. But a lot has happened with superhero movies in the last decade and I now think it would possible to bring Hellboy to the screen in a way that keeps more of the comics version intact. I want to see that movie.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Having finished my detour, I also came back and finished up First Avenger. I don't have a lot to say about it except that it's still awesome with great action, funny dialogue (especially from Tommy Lee Jones), and has a romantic subplot that I get totally invested in every time I watch it. And Chris Evans is still perfectly believable as an altruistic, no-nonsense character who isn't boring. It can be done, Man of Steel.
One of the reasons I want to rewatch the Marvel films is to keep track of the Infinity Stones, but they aren't actually mentioned in First Avenger. We'll find out later that the Tesseract has one in it - and that's foreshadowed when Red Skull touches it and it opens a hole in space at the end, just like it does in The Avengers - but so far all we know about the Tesseract is that it's a power source for Arnim Zola's weapons.
Agent Carter
Rewatching The First Avenger also got me excited to go back and finish Agent Carter. We started it as a family for a few weeks when it started, but got distracted, probably by catching up on Parks and Rec. That happens a lot in our house.
Agent Carter is awesome. It picks up right after the events of First Avenger with Peggy Carter's still grieving over Steve Rogers while also trying to prove her worth in the postwar SSR. Howard Stark is back in the private sector and the SSR is no longer a military operation. It's totally G-Man, with the emphasis on "man." Superspy Carter is now serving coffee and taking lunch orders, because that's all that the men in charge trust her to do. So when some of Howard Stark's most horrifying inventions begin turning up on the black market and Stark is investigated for treason, Carter relieves her frustration by launching her own investigation to prove Stark's innocence.
It's a great spy story with lots of connections to the Marvel movies, but it's also much more than that. It comments on the way women were perceived in the mid-20th century and challenges perceptions that may still be holding on from that era. That's a major undercurrent of the story, but the series isn't strident about the way it communicates its ideas. Everything is done through plot and some really excellent characters, including the men. In the first episodes, the men of the SSR appear to be stereotypical and flat. Most of them are chauvinists, except for a handful who seem to respect Carter and her abilities. But as the eight episodes progress, the series reveals more and I came to admire some of the men I hated at the beginning. And some who appeared open-minded and heroic at first are proven to be far more complicated. None of the characters are lazily written; everyone has been carefully considered. Cannot wait for Season Two.
Captain America (1944)
I also got curious about the 1944 serial adventures of Captain America. I'm a little less than halfway through the 15 chapters, but so far I'm disappointed. That's mostly because of how little the serial cares about the character it's based on. Instead of super soldier Steve Rogers, Captain America is a generic vigilante, the alter-ego of District Attorney Grant Gardner, who puts on the costume to fight crime in a way he can't legally in his day job. Cap doesn't even carry a shield.
The villain is generic too if you're familiar with serials or other stories from that time period. He's played by Lionel Atwill, so that's cool, but his motivations and methods are standard. He's irritated about being underappreciated by his peers, so he takes revenge by murdering them and stealing their inventions. One thing is different though. Unlike most serials, the villain's identity is known right from the first chapter. That may be to give Atwill more screen time, which is nice because I like him, but it also robs the story of one of the more fun serial tropes: a mysterious, masked mastermind who is revealed at the end to be one of the supporting characters.
Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)
Finally, unrelated to the other stuff I watched this week, I got out to see Pitch Perfect 2. I was pleasantly surprised when the first one turned out to be legitimately, truly good instead of just the amusing diversion I expected. It has some characters that I genuinely care about, the music is awesome, and I laughed out loud a lot.
I wasn't sure the sequel could repeat that. And frankly, I still wasn't sure about twenty minutes into the new one. A lot of the early jokes are lame, one of the new characters is an uncomfortable stereotype, and some of the situations seem trite. The way the team is disgraced at the beginning is a forced, obvious move so that we can watch them climb back up again. And I always like Hailee Steinfeld, but for too long her character is just a way to bring some awkwardness to the otherwise polished and comfortable group.
The movie quickly outgrows this early shakiness though. It gets funnier fast, for one thing, but it also gets more complex and interesting. In the first movie, Anna Kendrick's character wanted a career as a music producer and Pitch Perfect 2 uses that to explore the potential conflict between finding your own artistic voice and just adapting and riffing on other people's stuff. Those sound like mutually exclusive ideas, but the movie argues that they're not. It makes a subtle comparison between a capella covers and a producer's collaboration with an artist. Or any collaboration, really. Having an artistic voice doesn't mean that you have to be the only one heard in an artistic endeavor. It just means that you do need to be heard. You need to have something to say.
And it's wonderful that what could have been an easy, cash-grab sequel does in fact have something to say, too.

31 Werewolves | The Wolves of Saint August
It was a werewolf that made me a Hellboy fan for life.
When Mike Mignola introduced his Hellboy character to the world, he lacked confidence in his writing ability and asked John Byrne to help with the scripts. Byrne wrote the first Hellboy story, Seed of Destruction, but quickly realized that Mignola was more than capable to write his own stuff and encouraged the artist to do so.
The short story, "The Wolves of Saint August" (serialized in Dark Horse Presents #88-91 before being collected in Hellboy, Volume 3: The Chained Coffin and Others) was Mignola's first attempt at writing Hellboy by himself and proved he was absolutely up to it. After reading it, I was hooked on whatever Mignola wanted to give me.
The sequence above isn't just one of my favorite Mignola bits, it's one of my favorite scenes of all time in any medium and goes to show how powerful comics can be. Any time someone says that horror comics can't be scary because the reader controls the pace... I point to this unbelievably effective and emotional scene.

Abe Sapien hates cephalopods
One more. I'd hoped to close out the week with something more substantial, but it's just been one of those weeks. This one's by Ryan Sook, via Calvin's Canadian Cave of Cool.
Incidentally, I started watching Hellboy with David this week. In between classic Disney movies (we're prepping for a trip to Walt Disney World in the fall), I've been sneaking in movies about Nazis gathering occult artifacts. He loved Captain America and Raiders of the Lost Ark; hopefully he'll dig Hellboy too. He seems to like it so far and is really curious about Abe.

Elsewhere... Mad scientists pose as vampires
Flick Attack!
Flick Attack is a new blog by the folks behind Bookgasm, the awesome book review blog. They can explain what Flick Attack's about much better than I can:
- went up last Monday.
Food or Comics?
This week's comics on a budget column included Beasts of Burden/Hellboy and Sky Pirates of Valendor amongst other things.
Boneyard
Finally, this week's Gorillas Riding Dinosaurs was a look at Richard Moore's Boneyard.
Flick Attack is a new blog by the folks behind Bookgasm, the awesome book review blog. They can explain what Flick Attack's about much better than I can:
We’ll have no news. No scoops. No rumors. No set reports. Just one kick-ass review a day, Monday through Friday, with the occasional article on Saturday to make your weekend that much awesomer.And they're letting me play with them. My first review - for the Bela Lugosi masterpiece (and possible origin of vampires' saying "Bleh!") My Son the Vampire
Yep, that’s right: Every day you get one review, so take it or leave it. While everyone else pees their pants over the latest multiplex releases, we’re gonna dig through our archives and toss out something that’s not playing a theater near you. Maybe you’ve heard of it; maybe you haven’t; maybe it’s easy to find; maybe it’s not — doesn’t matter. You will read it, and you will like it.
So if you like discovering cinematic trash-terpieces, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got horror, sci-fi, action, kung fu, comedy and sex. But no drama. If it’s tears you want, we’ll be happy to kick you in the shin.

31 Things I Love About Halloween: Horror Comics
In addition to movie marathons, my comics tastes turn exclusively to horror in October. Rather than revisiting old favorites though, I'm usually catching up on stuff I've never read before.
Right now I'm reading Charles Burns' Black Hole
(it's as good and disturbing as everyone says it is) and my Amazon shipment should arrive tomorrow with the volumes I lack from Richard Moore's graveyard smash, Boneyard
. That'll probably carry me to the end of the month, but if there's time, I'll catch up some on BPRD
. I tend to like monsters and spooky/creepy stories rather than gory shock/splatter stuff.What horror comics are you reading? What would you recommend for me to add to my stack?

Comics News: Clunky Robots and Sorority Girls vs Alien Invaders
Zeroids and other Pulp
I forgot to mention last week's GRD column that covered the Moonstone panel at C2E2. Lots of good Pulp stuff coming out from them in the near future, like the clunky robots and sorority girls vs aliens comic Zeroids.
I also got a press release from them today with some cover art for some of the projects mentioned on the panel. I love both of these Honey West covers.
More Pulp, Mignola gets a website, and Bone gets a cartoon after the break.

Elsewhere on the Internets...
Here's what else I've been up to online lately...
Five for Friday
I didn't participate in last weekend's Five for Friday, which was about Halloween costumes (a topic I suck at), but the weekend before that we were instructed to Name Five Comic Characters You'd Want As Your Friend. I thought that was particularly sweet.
Mine were:
1. Flash Gordon
2. Wonder Woman
3. Abe Sapien
4. Steve Rogers
5. Alfred Pennyworth
Amazon Princess
I had a couple of posts on the Wonder Woman blog. One shared the above drawing by Cownt artist Jessica Hickman; the other was about a Wonder Woman Jack O'Lantern.
Plump Sister
I finally updated the Christmas Carol blog again after unintentionally taking Halloween (all two months of it) off. This post is about the opening of Albert Finney in Scrooge. I should be able to stay on track with it now that Christmas is already in the air.
David's Dinosaur Blog
My seven-year-old son has decided to start a blog and I couldn't be more proud. It's a dinosaur blog and it's awesome. I've added it to my sidebar under Online Writing, but my involvement ends at suggesting topics and taking David's dictation of his thoughts about those topics. I'm giving him first shot on dinosaur (and dinosaur-related) material from here out, but he has final say on all content for his blog. Anything he doesn't want to talk about will get re-routed back here. I hope you'll check it out.
Gorillas Riding Dinosaurs
As I say at the beginning of my review of Hunter's Fortune #1, "It's comics like that this that are the exact reason I started this column."
Seriously, this is a fantastic start to what promises to be an unbelievably cool new series. The only reason you should not read it is if you absolutely, positively cannot stand awesome comics.
