If this blog were a television series, August would have been the two-part season finale that tied up several loose ends of the past season while introducing just enough new ideas to hint at the direction of the next season. One of the main characters returned to the show after a short hiatus, a few special guest stars made appearances, and viewers were treated to important character development and valuable backstory, as well as a few surprises along the way.
Don't worry if you missed any of it; we've got the reruns right here:
- Alex's return to blogging, and a heartwarming story of why the world needs superheroes
- Thoughts on how spoilers are damaging the comics industry
- Alex's weekly column that's part comics news and part personal journal, Waiting for Wednesday, Volume 3, Issues 31-35, discussing his time away from the blog, Kidnapping Kevin Smith, bad sushi, American Vampire, and a power outage
- A forward-facing retrospective look at the last decade of Marvel movies
- The tale of how this blog almost had a name that makes sense, and some encouragement to share in something Alex loves
