From the Depths of Despair to the Sorcerer Supreme: Doctor Strange's Personal Journey
Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a hero like no other. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created him to explore a new avenue in their storytelling and bring new themes to their stories. Rather than a suit of armor or a radioactive spider, his abilities come from the mystic arts. In Strange's 53-year history, he has travelled to countless dimensions and battled a number of foes, ranging from celestial beings such as Galactus to demons such as Mephisto.

Avengers 3: Could Emily Blunt, Zachary Quinto and Rufus Sewell join the team?
As we hear rumors of more possible Avengers joining the team, whether it’s name dropping on Captain America: Winter Solider or (rightful) fan hopes of more female characters, I’ve spent lots of time thinking of a few fan-casts for possible future Avengers. These Avengers may not be the most well known, but have played their part on the team from time-to-time. I know some of these may not be your first choice, but take a look.

Did You See 'Saw' In Last Week's The Walking Dead?
Grimy imprisonment bathrooms are ten a penny, but did you spot a rather well known one in last week's episode of The Walking Dead? For those thinking, "that looks familiar", you're right. The room in which Carol and Maggie were held in episode 13 "The Same Boat" is THE bathroom from Saw.

Dan Slott Has Now Written 1 in 5 'Spider-Man' Comics. So Which Are His Best?
With the release of Amazing Spider-Man #18 on September 21, writer Dan Slott has now officially created 20 percent of all Spider-Man comic book stories. Since 2007, Dan's name has been synonymous with the wall-crawler. He was initially one of a team of writers who were tasked with writing Spider-Man's adventures, but it very quickly became obvious that his work stood out over the others — and in November 2010, he became the sole writer of the series.

The Genius of Sugar Pine 7
YouTube started off as a way to share your funny fail videos or vacation videos to friends. Since the day that uploading to YouTube began on April 23, 2005, a lot has changed in terms of content on YouTube and for the most part, those changes have been for the best. Of course, we have the annoying diss tracks and beef and Instagram "comedians," but every once in a while someone comes along and shifts the way people think about entertainment on a platform. In the sitcom world, it was The Office that changed people's minds to how shows can be produced. Sugar Pine 7 is a channel that I believe will revolutionize the way that people want their online media to look.

Hating Every Picture I Take and Why That Means I Have to Keep Going
I started photography about seven months ago in June of 2016. It started out as something to help jazz up my articles for Movie Pilot or Now Loading. I figured if I get sent to press events that it would be nice if I took my own pictures instead of having to pull from the internet. I borrowed a camera for a press conference for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and I sort of fell in love with that particular camera.

Casting Ms. Marvel
In fact, this site has featured a few fan-casting pieces that feature some A-list actresses and my own mind went to many of them as well. What I’d like to do here is provide a list of actresses that may have been overlooked in the process, a B-list if you will. But first, let’s review a little about Ms. Marvel’s original bio:

Indiana Jones Is Back: 10 Of The Best Tweets
Hold on to your potatoes! Indy is back! Against all odds, 2008's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull didn't kill off the Indiana Jones franchise. At the tender age of 73 Harrison Ford has confirmed he is returning to his role as the fedora wearing archeologist. By this point it will be 2019 and Ford will then be 77 - we can hear the whip crack and the hip crack now. News on who else will return is still unknown....but dear God, please not Shia!

Cosplay and Commerce: How Joanna Lynn Turned Her Passion Into A Successful Business
For the past six months I've been on a journey to learn photography that was all started by going to cons. This week, I jumped into the deep end by shooting with someone different every day and I got the opportunity to shoot with someone pretty cool. It was a little nerve wracking but that's how I always am when shooting with someone new. The good news is that I made it out alive. The cosplayer I got to shoot with was Joanna Lynn and she's known for her spot on princess cosplays. On this day, however, I decided on something a little different. Something that didn't involve cosplay (which is a stretch for me, I know). Thankfully she was patient with my experiment and was a joy to work with. She knew how to pose with very little direction which was a godsend for a beginner like me.

6 Easy Steps If You Want to Be a Hero in the Arrowverse (P.S. None of Them Are Easy)
The Arrowverse has grown exponentially since its inception in 2012. What began as a show about a billionaire who returns home and dresses up as Robin Hood to save his city has now grown into a full-fledged TV universe. Arrow started it all, showcasing Oliver Queen's crusade against those who had failed his city. Season 2 then introduced a CSI by the name of Barry Allen to the mix. After a two-episode stint ended with Barry being struck by lightning the night a particle accelerator exploded, the Arrowverse had its first growth spurt. The Flash was born, and with it came endless possibilities.

Fan-casting Ant-man
Rumors abound for Ant-man casting, specifically Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Paul Rudd. While I believe JGL could act the role of Pym, I don't see him fitting physically. I also envision someone a little older (though, who knows what Marvel's plans are). Rudd might be able to pull it off too, but I don't know if I could take him seriously as Pym.

How Going to A Con Alone To Take Photos Started My Cosplay Photography Adventure
When I was in college, I used to go to cons pretty often. It was mostly an excuse to walk around in a Yukata and utilize its utterly amazing sleeve pockets. Eventually, though, my attendance started to taper off. I graduated and so did my crew, which meant we were off doing our own thing; A few moved out of state, some moved just far enough that regularly hanging out wasn't possible. Either way, we grew up and grew out of that kind of thing. At least that's what I told myself when I finally stopped going. A part of me never stopped liking cons, though. I always loved watching the cosplay music videos and other great content that came from them.
