In a win that will surprise pretty much no one, Disney’s Belle has won the crown in Disney March Princess Madness by a nearly 2 to 1 margin.

Well, here we have it: the championship round. Modern Disney beat vintage Disney as two princesses from a couple of the studio’s most acclaimed films make it to the final confrontation.

In a stunning weekend turnaround, Cinderella ripped the upset from the hands of “Aladdin’s” Jasmine, who had a solid lead that turned out to be shakier than I was expecting.

Like the webseries its based on, Dark Horse’s “Husbands,” a collection of its online comic out today, is smart, sly and a little bit sexy. How appropriate that it’s out the week the Supreme Court is looking at two cases involving marriage equality for same-sex couples. “Husbands” is a webseries about celebrity Cheeks (Brad Bell) … Continue Reading →

So far this year, I’ve done Broadway shows and sci-fi TV shows. I’m hoping the annual Muppet Madness will be on again this … Continue Reading →
UPDATE: Added GrandCon (comics and gaming) in Grand Rapids, ConClave 37 (sci-fi) in Detroit and dates for U-Con. It’s almost spring, so that means it’s time for the conventions to start in earnest. Michigan has lots to offer geeks and fans of all things comic book, sci-fi, fantasy, horror and anime. Unfortunately, this year will … Continue Reading →
