Behind every good man...

Day 2 in a continuing search for a blog direction.

Idea #2: Character Focus

This would entail spending a week at a time, MAYBE daily for some lesser characters, but some period of time, dissecting characters from comics.  Bigger characters would obviously demand more space, and I'd break it down by era. 

Example, a Golden Age Superman, which I wouldn't do because I don't have the kinds of research material to do it justice, would be a whole week while Modern Age Superman would also get his own week.  However, I think I'd probably stay away from the big guns. 

Most likely I'd focus on the lesser lights, and a good opportunity to look at characters that maybe didn't even have their own series, just played supporting roles in other titles.  Franklin "Foggy" Nelson is a great example.  He's has a tumultuous life, but never his own book.  Alfred Pennyworth would be another good topic.

There would be some research here, to do it right, but much of this should be burned into my head already, so I'd only be looking up reference, like a library, I hope.

So this would be considered the Character Focus version of the blog.  What do you think?  Does this have legs?

MotD: Pretty in Pink

The Molly Ringwald trilogy concludes with the drama and angst of teenage girl love, something I think we all can identify with.  Right?  Hello?  Bueller?  Enjoyable, funny to watch old ass people play high school.  One question, Duckie is gay, right?  Cause Jon Cryer plays him as closet case.  Tying this into comics, it's easy to see the producers of Superman IV: The Quest for a Movie Which We Don't Like to Discuss saw this and said "BOY, that Duckie character would be PERFECT as Lex Luthor's nephew!" Overall, a little angsty for me and the bow that everything tied up with was a bit much.  Not as solid as the previous two days.
