ONE AND DONE: Moon Knight—It Doesn’t Take Much
You ever see The Raid? It's this Indonesian action movie. It (and its sequel) is probably one of the best action movies in recent memory.
The plot of The Raid is ridiculously simple. One cop, in one building, against an army of criminals. It is an hour and a half of dudes wrecking shit. It's eighty minutes of brutal martial arts. It's something that's been done lots--you can describe a ridiculous number of movies that way, thanks to Die Hard--but that doesn't change the fact that it's absolutely thrilling, a marvel of craft and assured filmmaking.

“Fire Rick Remender”—a timeout for the Internet’s outrage-o-matic–UPDATE
In last week's issue of Captain America, #22, two characters were shown having a few glasses of wine and tumbling into bed only to wake up the next morning wondering what happened. The characters in question were Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon, one of the few prominent African-American characters in both the Marvel comics and film universes. The woman was Jet Black, aka Jet Zola, the daughter of Arnim Zola. Although she runs around in a skimpy costume reminiscent of Leeloo from The Fifth Element, this is perhaps explained by her having been raised in an alien dimension. Although she was born only a few years ago in real world time, she has aged more in comics time.
