Logan (2017)
Running time: 137 minutes (2 hours, 17 minutes)
MPAA – PG-13 for strong brutal violence and language throughout, and for brief nudity

WRITERS: James Mangold & Scott Frank and Michael Green; from a story by James Mangold (based on the characters and stories appearing in Marvel Comics)

CINEMATOGRAHER: John Mathieson (D.o.P.)
EDITORS: Michael McCusker and Dirk Westervelt
COMPOSER: Marco Beltrami
Academy Award nominee
SUPERHERO/ACTION/DRAMA
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Richard E. Grant, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal, Quincy Fouse, Jason Genao, and Bryant Tardy
Logan is a 2017 American drama, action film and superhero movie from director James Mangold. Starring Hugh Jackman in the title role, it is the tenth film in 20th Century Fox's X-Men movie franchise and is also the third entry in the Wolverine film series. Logan is based on the Marvel Comics character, Logan/Wolverine, that was created by writer Len Wein and artists John Romita and Herb Trimpe and first fully appeared in the comic book, The Incredible Hulk #181 (cover dated: November 1974). Logan the movie focuses on a legendary mutant trying to save a mutant child from the evil people determined to capture her.
Logan opens in the year 2029. Mutants are nearly extinct, and no new mutants have been born in 24 years. The aging and ailing Logan (Hugh Jackman) works as a limousine driver in El Paso, Texas. Once upon a time, he was known as “Wolverine,” and he was a member of the legendary band of mutants, the “X-Men.” Now, he and the elderly founder of the X-Men, Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), live in hiding. Xavier suffers from a degenerative brain condition, and he sometimes has telepathic seizures that render anyone in the vicinity virtually helpless. A mutant known as “Caliban” (Stephen Merchant) helps Logan care for Charles.
Logan has plans for escape, but a complication arrives in the form of a small girl named Laura (Dafne Keen), also known as test subject “X23.” She is a mutant and her abilities are remarkably similar to those of Wolverine's. However, she is being hunted by Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) and his band of killers, the “Reavers.” They are in service of the research institute, Alkali Transigen, and the scientists there want her back no matter what it costs in terms of lives. Will Logan become the hero Wolverine, again, and help Laura get to a place called “Eden?” Or will he run away from his fate, again?
Having seen the first two Wolverine films, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and The Wolverine (2013), I did not go to the theater to see Logan when it was originally released in 2017. [In my defense, I was knee deep in catastrophic family drama at the time.] With the impending release of the upcoming Marvel Studios film, Deadpool & Wolverine, I decided it was time.
My was I missing an excellent film. Logan is by far the best of the Wolverine films, and at the time of its release, it was the best X-Men since 2011's X-Men: First Class. Truthfully, Logan would end up being the last really good X-Men film produced by 20th Century Fox.
Logan, which was rated “R” by the MPAA, is one of the most violent superhero films that I've ever seen. Logan, Laura, and a surprise character called “X24” disembowel, dismember, behead, eviscerate, stab, and chop up what seems like a small town's worth of deserving men of various stripes. Although I can sometimes be a prude about what I see as gratuitous violence in cinema, I love the brutal violence of Logan. In fact, all the action scenes in Logan are brilliant, from the standoffs to the fights and car chases.
However, director James Mangold, a filmmaker with a hugely diverse filmography, makes Logan turn on dramatic storytelling and performances. It is obvious that Hugh Jackman as Logan and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier would give fine performances. Still, actor and comedian, Stephen Merchant, is simply wonderful in the important supporting role of Caliban, bringing pathos and depth to a role that could have ended up being an extraneous freak character.
Boyd Holbrook also brings range and a variety of moods to Donald Pierce, another character that could have been a generic mercenary type. Dafne Keen matches the rage and range of Jackman as Logan. Laura could have been lost in the hurricane that is Logan/Wolverine's story in this film, but Keen makes Laura a force of her own. Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Eriq La Salle makes the most of his short time on screen as Will Munson.
Logan is a mournful film. It really is not a sequel to the earlier Wolverine films so much as it is the completion of Logan/Wolverine's tragic, but heroic story arc that buttressed the earlier films. Logan is both an ending and a beginning, and I wish that the care and effort put into this film had been put into some of the other X-Men films.

Comics Review: "ELVIRA Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 #4" in the Dreamlands
ELVIRA MEETS H.P. LOVECRAFT VOLUME 1 #4
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT
STORY: David Avallone
ART: Kewber Baal
COLORS: Walter Pereyra
LETTERS: Taylor Esposito
EDITOR: Joseph Rybandt
COVER: Dave Acosta with Walter Pereyra
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (May 2024)
Rated Teen+
Chapter Four: “Behind the Wall of Creep”
In 1981, actress and model Cassandra Peterson created the “horror hostess character,” known as “Elvira.” Elvira gradually grew in popularity and eventually became a brand name. As Elvira, Peterson endorsed many products and became a pitch-woman, appearing in numerous television commercials throughout the 1980s.
Elvira also appeared in comic books, beginning in 1986 with the short-lived series from DC Comics, Elvira's House of Mystery. In 2018, Elvira returned to comic books via Dynamite Entertainment. Elvira's latest comic book series is Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1. The series is written by David Avallone; drawn by Kewber Baal; colored by Walter Pereyra; and lettered by Taylor Esposito. In this new series, Elvira joins the ghost of infamous horror and fantasy author, H.P. Lovecraft, who has returned to the mortal plane on a mission from the Elder Gods to locate the last true company of the infamous “Necronomicon.”
Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 #4 (“Behind the Wall of Creep”) opens in the otherworldly dimension known as Earth's “Dreamlands.” Elvira escaped to this place in order to avoid the machinations both of her supposed partner, H.P. Lovecraft – the would-be God-King of the Universe, and of the “Great Old One” known as Nyarlathotep, who wants to restore said Great Old Ones to their dominion over time and space.
After a brief rodent problem and a cat-rescue, Elvira meets the ghost of the author Robert “Bob” Bloch, whose 1959 novel, Psycho, is the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic film, Psycho. Now in possession of a true copy of the “Necronomicon,” Elvira seeks the help of one who can stop Lovecraft and Nyarlathotep's plans. But do these gods even give a f**k?
THE LOWDOWN: Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles. One of them is Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 #4, one of many Dynamite/David Avallone Elvira comic books that I have read and enjoyed.
One of the good things about writer David Avallone's Elvira comic books is that I can repeat myself in each review of his work. Avallone's mixture of sardonic and deadpan humor sparkles and brings Elvira to life, not quite as lively as in her television and film appearances, but lively.
Kewber Baal is pitch perfect for Avallone, and I hope the work together more in the future. Baal art's gets prettier in style and stronger in storytelling with each chapter. Baal spins Avallone's humorous tales into sparkling tales of comic horror and horror comedy. Walter Pereyra's colors keep everything looking nice and pretty, and Taylor Esposito's lettering brings out the hell in the story.
I expected really good things from Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft, and I'm getting it. I expect you to read Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft, dear readers, now or later in trade paperback form
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Elvira and of David Avallone's Elvira comic books will want to read Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1.

Eternal high school student and teenage boy, Archie Andrews, and his friends made their debut in M.L.J. Magazines' Pep Comics #22 (cover dated: December 1941), and before long, Archie was the publisher's headliner character. In 1946, the company changed its named to Archie Comic Publications, also known as “Archie Comics.”
Archie Comics also has a dark side, as seen via a number of horror and dark fantasy titles sometimes published under the “Archie Horror” imprint. Archie's latest horror offering is Archie Comics: Judgment Day. It is the first in Archie Comics' new line, “Archie Premium Event.” It is written by Aubrey Sitterson; drawn by Megan Hutchinson; colored by Matt Herms; and lettered by the great Jack Morelli. The series finds Archie on a mission to rid his hometown of Riverdale of all “wicked-kind.”
Archie Comics: Judgment Day #2 opens in a Riverdale beset by all manner of shape-shifting demons. Archie is on a quest to cleanse his hometown, and thanks to Madam Satan, he has the power to do so. She possesses the power to summon, imprison, and enslave demons for her own purposes. Archie now has the “infernal power” in the form of Alistair, a demon that Madam Satan has bound to him.
Archie has been so successful that there are apparently only two demons left to kill. However, his old buddy, Jughead Jones, is concerned that in the course of killing all those demons that Archie has lost himself. He hopes that Betty and Veronica can help him reach Archie, but Alistair has other plans. Meanwhile, where is Reggie?
THE LOWDOWN: For a long time, Archie's marketing department has been sending PDF copies of some of their titles for review. Archie Comics: Judgment Day #2 is one of them.
With this miniseries, writer Aubrey Sitterson has concocted a delicious dark brew that should quench the dark thirsts of his readers' imaginations. In a review of the first issue, I said that Madam Satan is the straw that stirs this drink. However, with this issue, Sitterson has made Archie such a radiant alpha-man hero that even Alistair pales next to him.
Megan Hutchinson is killing it with Judgment Day. Her art is a flow of magical weaving with page after page of tapestries that recall the art of Heironymus Bosch. Hutchinson's storytelling is dazzling, and her cover art is purely a thing of illustrative beauty. Under the colors by Matt Herms, her art is eye-popping and gorgeous. The great Jack Morelli tops it off with his classic comics lettering.
If Archie plans on doing more horror and dark fantasy comic books like Archie Comics: Judgment Day, then, they must do them. There is entertainment gold in Archie's horror comic books.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Archie Comics' “Archie Horror” imprint will want Archie Comics: Judgment Day.
