My screen name is derekwc, hence the derekwc presents. I was mainly inspired by James Rolfe and his Monster Madness Cinemasscre Reviews (also the Godzilla ones are pretty fun too!). I wanted to focus mainly on comic books adapted into tv shows and films. Kind of short synopsis and review with some historical perspectives and tangents thrown in for fun. There is a vast amount of material to cover and I probably wont have access to all of it, but I thought I\'d go ahead and give it a shot. I probably won\'t have a part up every day and they might not all be in order (but I\'ll try my best). Note: I\'m trying to limit my focus to comic books, maybe I\'ll go back and do comic strips or manga some other day. Hope you enjoy!

History of Comics On Film Part 37 (Sabrina The Teen-age Witch)

So I took my mom out for her birthday today and me and my family all went to go see Megamind in IMAX 3-D.

As a fan of Superman I enjoyed seeing a twist on the mythos and particularly liked the culmination of the "shuul" gag with Megamind feeling all "mel-len-co-lee."

Anyway here's a little write-up that the movie inspired me to do.

So this wraps up Green Hornet Month.

In the middle of working on a video response (that I will hopefully finish by the end of the weekend) and next up for History of Comics on Film will be the 1973 Super Friends. Stay Tuned! Or Keep Reading!

The last couple of weeks I've been watching Atop The Fourth Wall's video reviews on the comic book series Cry For Justice.

I was compelled to create my own video to serve as a counterpoint to many of the criticisms and arguments brought up in Linkara's aforementioned review.

So I contacted the man to inform him of my intentions, and with his blessing
I present his series of reviews alongside my own respsonse.

Like my friend Mike Priest would say, I hope you find them "edu-taining."

Pretty much this is the same show, but the two half hours had enough different material I felt justified into making it into two separate videos like those Filmation ones from earlier.

Feedback and thoughts are appreciated.
