Welcome to another year of Super-hero Pow! I can’t tell you how much I wanted to get this video out before February- but didn’t happen. My goal is to get one video out a month, and I’m behind already. If you’d like to help, encouragement will do it! I’m a fool for anyone telling me how great I am- it happens so rarely (sniff). Subscribing to the YouTube channel helps a lot too. Last year, after Super-Hero Pow’s launch and then YouTube’s rule changes, I wasn’t quite sure what to do. Then a hundred of you subscribed, and well I felt obligated to keep it rolling. So seriously, a simple “atta boy” keeps me from going to bed early.
So this time I tackle the main event of comicbooks these days- diversity! As the exact opposite of diversity myself, I thought do we really need diversity characters anymore? Obviously in the 1940’s, the superhero community was whiter than a news caster’s teeth! But it’s the 21th century now, the Black Panther was the biggest movie, hell a black guy was just President, and the new President dyes himself orange! Clearly white males are the new minority! Or are they??? Check out the video to learn more!
First a word of warning: This is some serious insider baseball here. That said, every comicbook reader knows DC's continuity is a complete mess, with too many reboots and non-reboots (whatever that is!). I think, the great comicbook genius, Julius Schwartz, is the only one who can save them now!

Hey Party People,
I'm back with part two of my look at diversity in superhero comics! As I showed in part 1, superhero comics still suffer from a lack of diversity. In case you missed it, you can check it out here:

So now the question is, what can we- or...
Hey Party People,
With my new video I tackle a subject near and dear to us superhero fans: Under used characters! We all have fan characters, who are not included the main pantheon of a publisher's superheroes. So we lie and wait for the time when they decide to use them again- and...
Hey party people, welcome to my latest video! For this one I dive deep into Wonder Woman (stop it). As DC Comics has proven over the past 70 years that they have no idea what to do with her. I mean, when she came out, she was selling like three comics (Sensation,...
Hey animation fans, got a another Animator on Animation for ya. This time I talk about the one of the craziest shows Disney TV ever made: Gargoyles! Seriously, whoever thought Disney would ever make such a show! It's just so hardcore action- basically Disney's answer to Warner Bros. Batman: The Animated Series....
Hey party people, in a mad dash to get this video up before the Halloween. So I don't have too much to say about it other than, I love classic monster movies- ever since my youth of watching the Son of Svengoolie in Chicago. Funny to think that Chicago gave the USA, Oprah...
Hey party people, confession time, I'm more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan. So putting this list together was kinda tough. I hit up a lot of Marvel fans for notes- but they were all over the place! Marvel was such a powerhouse in the 1980's, basically all their books...
Hey Party People,
Here's my latest video, and can you believe it's not a Superhero Pow!? Yes, it's a new series called Animator on Animation. Where I, you're host animator, will look at some animation clips, and talk about what's good about them and what's bad about them. Along the way I'll tell...
Hey party people, here is my latest video, The Most- as in which superhero is the most- pick a category. I'm sure you know how much us superhero fans enjoy arguing about superheroes. Who's the strongest, who's the fastest, etc. Well this (possible) series will help answer those questions (inspire heated debate,...
Wowie, wow, wow, wow! Creating videos is hard work! This one took longer than I hoped, and it was aided by the fact that I started to do a little bit more writing for Anititcool.com. You can swing by there and read some of my, “This Week in Comics” articles. That,...
So this just a fun short one talking about Wonder Woman wardrobe. To steal a joke from Svengoolie: “You'd like to see more of Wonder Woman on TV? So would I, but that's as small as the censor's will allow her costume to be.” But seriously, this was something I found /...
Hey party people! How's everyone doing in pandemic land? So far so good over here. I thought I'd write something up to check in with everyone. As you may have noticed, I don't have a new video up! Well a long string of bad luck just keeps rolling.
Just when I...
So just what the hell was George Lucas thinking!? No, not when he sold out to Disney- because we all know he wasn't! But what was he thinking about, when it came to the final Star Wars sequel trilogy. What was the actual story meant to be? Well that's what I...

Hey Party People,
Seems you all enjoy the Superfriends as much as I do, so I thought I'd make another video of them! At the same time, I came up with a new concept for videos: Why it's Great! Where I will list a few reasons why something is great. Preferably something not...
