Outland: It’s Out There, All Right
As a super-hardcore, ultra-devoted, boot-licking Bloom County fan “4” life, it’s kind of annoying to me that the most famous strip Berkeley Breathed ever created was something about a cockroach looking into a pair of briefs. There are so many better ones, like the “Snorting Dandelions” strip, or this Bill the Cat strip that I regard as the greatest political cartoon ever drawn for reasons I don’t have space to elaborate on here. Bloom County contained some of the smartest, sharpest cartooning I’ve ever read, but as IDW’s new single-volume Outland collection proves, that razor wit of Berke’s was starting to dull by the 90’s. In the summer of 1989 Breathed became the first newspaper cartoonist to quit a successful daily comic strip in favor of the diminished deadline stress of a weekly one. The early Outland strips were very experimental, and I mean VERY experimental. In the beginning all familiar characters from Bloom County have been abandoned and in their place are a purple British otter and an unauthorized

She-Hulk Showrunner Apologizes For Lack Of Madisynn In Finale
No one can truly predict if a show will catch on, and if it does, what people will like and dislike about it. Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, which wrapped its first season last week, had many eccentric characters, but perhaps none wilder than the stumbling, heavily vocally fried Madisynn King, subject of Episode 4. Despite appearing in just one episode, Madisynn became the most talked-about and memed element of the series. Jameela Jamil’s Titania appeared far more often and wasn’t nearly as popular despite being Jameela Jamil. So a lot of people assumed Madisynn would be making a return appearance in last week’s finale….people that kind of had no idea how streaming TV works. Unlike a network show, typically all episodes of a streaming season are completed before the show is given a premiere date. At the point where Madisynn made her debut, everything else about the season had been set in stone and there was no way to react to audience demand. ..But it’s actually worse than that.
Paradise City
Paradise City is one of the few remaining movies of Bruce Willis before his retirement. He suffers from frontotemporal dementia. It is a type of cognitive impairment and is sometimes what brings about this condition. The legendary action star decided to end his career while he was at the peak of his physical and mental abilities, despite the fact that he could still perform his job. Each new movie in which he stars will mark a significant and bittersweet turning point in his career. Detective Knight: Independence will serve as his farewell film before he retires for good. Bruce Willis and John Travolta previously worked together in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. It has been 28 years since the last time they starred on the same film. They were allies in that classic but this time around they will be sworn enemies. Paradise City is directed and co-written by Chuck Russell. Russell is known for movies like Eraser,The Mask and The Scorpion King. Paradise City Official trailer Ian Swan (Bruce Willis),
