Ask Chris Special Edition: The Best Of 'Ask Chris'
This week marks the 200th installment of ComicsAlliance’s weekly Ask Chris column, in which senior writer Chris Sims tackles reader questions that send him delving into comics history, the metaphors at the heart of his favorite characters that have developed over decades and, every now and then, straight up fan-fiction. To mark the occasion, we’ve gone back through the archives (and taken a quick poll of readers) to sort out the absolute best of the past 200 columns, covering topics like the secular humanism at the heart of Scooby-Doo, the complicated chronology of Super Mario Bros., the 75-year competition between Marvel and DC, and more. And Batman. So, so much Batman.
I Has a Sweet Potato
02:29 pm: I Has a Sweet Potato You know, a lot of times I write up random posts and then don't post them. But Best Beloved just called me, and I could not really explain why I was inarticulate about sweet potatoes, so I said I'd go ahead and post this. That way, she can read it at work and know just what kind of day it has been. (Short version, for those who do not feel like reading the whole post: ARRRRRRG. Fucking sweet potatoes.) The longer version, summarized in conversation form:

The Second Coming - Yeats
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
Top 5 'Lost' Western Film Classics — WhatCulture.com
Everyone loves a western surely? From John Wayne being an all American hero in John Ford’s early classics… to Jimmy Stewart as the ‘Naked Spur’… Late sixties revisionist years with Leone’s Dollars Trilogy, ‘Once Upon A Time in the West’ and Peckinpah’s ‘Wild Bunch’… and rebirth with Eastwood’s ‘Unforgiven’. So many timeless classics to wile away an afternoon or evening on the delights of DVD players. Around similar era’s are some ‘lost’ western classics that for one reason or another aren’t held in the same universal regard or even heard off. They’re usually met with western anoraks like myself with critical acclaim as some of the best ever made in the genre.
Ask Chris - ComicsAlliance
Q: Is it ever worth it to change comics canon to match the canon from other media? -- @firehawk32 A: This is a really interesting question for me, because I always think of myself as someone who doesn't really get excited about superheroes showing up in movies or TV. I mean, obviously, that's not actually true -- I mean, I cowrote what was essentially a full-length novel about The Dark Knight, Batman: The Animated Series ranks alongside oxygen and pizza as my favorite thngs in the universe, I could not have been more stoked about seeing Arnim Zola The Bio Fanatic in two major Hollywood films, and there will never be a time when I'm not still mad about Man of Steel. But at the same time, and at the risk of sounding like even more of a hipster elitist than usual, those aren't the "real" versions of those charactesr to me.

A Brief History Of Time: Unpacking DC's Reboots, Relaunches & Retcons
Over almost eighty years of publishing history, DC Comics has gotten a reputation for mucking around rather a lot with the fictional history of its shared superhero universe. Currently it's in the early stages of "Rebirth," which (in a nutshell) apparently aims to restore ten years' worth of in-universe time to the five-year backstory of the New 52.
