Marvel Television: Mockingbird



That's Mockingbird above, another project on deck for Marvel Television. Currently "in development", which means it's entirely possible I'll never actually see it. Described as a "Peter Parker nerd", Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird) is recruited to a secret organization. I'm not entirely sure what her origins are, but I did enjoy what I saw of her in Hawkeye and Mockingbird. My guess is that she'd be an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and since the costume resembles spy outfits, hopefully there won't be a need to downplay the superhero elements.

Whether this finds a home on ABC Family remains to be seen, but for now I'm interested and will be doing my best to keep up with any information released about it.

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
