Marvel
The Spider-Man That Could Have Been
I love Spider-Man. Though I possess an intense hatred for arachnids, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the superhero their radioactive bite produced. There’s just something about Spider-Man — and specifically Peter Parker — that is undeniably endearing. I’ll always be a fan of his quips and nerdy sense of humor, of his sense of bravery […]
Oh Captain, My Captain
This past weekend, I finished up Ms. Marvel (2014). There I was, in the back of a car heading west from Augusta towards Atlanta on a hot Saturday evening, my iPhone closer to my face than probably necessary, trying not to cry like a baby as I wrapped up one of the most charming and […]
Sarah’s Top Ten Favorite Vampires
As I mentioned in last week’s post, it’s October and for me that means it’s time to do all of the Halloween things!

See You in the Drift
Here at Avenging Force we’re getting pretty tired of the same-old, same-old. ‘Shipper wars and “Team [Couple]!” cries are getting pretty played out, and we’re well past tired of great stories and characters getting watered down to who they might kiss at the end of the story. We’re here for great friendships–good, solid, thought-out friendships, […]

Archers, Always On Target
It’s not really a secret that if there’s an archer in any form of media, they’re likely to become my favorite character. I’m not really sure why or how this came to be, it’s just the way of the world. And when an archer pops up in a book, show, movie, or video game, it’s […]

Around the Web There are rumors that Greg Berlanti (executive producer of both Arrow and The Flash) is in active development for a possible Supergirl tv show. With Berlanti behind this production we have high hopes that this series could find a home on a television network in the near future. This year marks the 40th anniversary […]

Around the Web We said goodbye to an icon of entertainment and comedy, as Robin Williams passed away at the age of 63. He starred in countless films that made an indelible mark on all of our lives, including (but not even remotely limited to) Hook, Dead Poet’s Society, Aladdin, and Good Morning, Vietnam. He […]
