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 […]
Welcome to the third installation of The Sorting Hat! This series was created because we enjoy imagining what would happen if characters from other fandoms were starting their first year at Hogwarts and needed to be sorted into the four houses. Sometimes it’s easy to sort someone, and other times (as you’ll see below) it takes compromise and campaigning. […]
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 […]
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6th and we are EXCITED. In anticipation of the new movie we’re spending the next two weeks leading up to the release spotlighting the Marvel Universe.

It used to be that the biggest actors of […]
First of all, I want to say how stoked I am to officially be joining Avenging Force! I’ve contributed to some posts in the past, and have left several dissertation-length thoughts down in the comments section, but am super excited to now be a bona fide Avenging Forcer. (Force Avenger? Hmm.) For my first non-guest post, […]
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! And what says Halloween more than a soulless, bloodthirsty monster that only comes out to play at night? I developed my love of vampires early, due to a steady diet of Buffy the Vampire […]
Welcome to Pick Your Poison, one of our occasional features! Here we will discuss our favorite versions of characters or franchises that have had multiple iterations and timelines. As we all know in geek circles, you can never have just one of something (excepting Highlanders), and Hollywood just can’t help itself when adapting our favorites. […]
For our first Fancasting post we’re looking at the female hero we’d most like to see gracing the big screen, Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel. In anticipation of an eventual possible future Captain Marvel movie (based on Kelly Sue DeConnick’s comic series, of course) we’ve put together a few people we think would do justice to Carol […]
