Castles Over Kings

NO COMMENTS YET

So now the both of us have caught this wretched head ebola, which means that posting may slow while we lie around looking for mindless entertainment to feed our middle brains while we slowly undergo the process of turning cold medicine into snot… but don’t worry about us, we have a tool for dealing with this. It’s called a screwdriver.

And a likely candidate for tonight’s distraction from our various aches, pains and uncomfortable viscous bubblings is Castle, starring Nathan Fillion, on ABC at 10 p.m. eastern time. It’s not a regular view for us, but ABC is owned by Disney, as is Marvel, and since, purely by coincidence, Marvel’s releasing a Castle graphic novel Wednesday, it seems that tonight’s episode has a distinctly Marvel Comics feel to it, which you can see in the preview after the jump:

So let’s get this straight: Nathan Fillion, who only ever wanted to be an actor, is now the “star” of two comic books: Castle and the Serenity spinoff books by Dark Horse Comics, and he gets to fight a superhero in tonight’s episode. Meanwhile, Nicolas Cage, who only ever wanted to be a superhero, is home alone, possibly crying and cutting himself and / or attempting to set his own head on fire.

Irony: it works, bitches!

Marvel’s Castle: Richard Castle’s Deadly Storm, written by Brian Michael Bendis and Kelly Sue DeConnick with pencils by Lan Medina, drops this coming Wednesday, September 28th. (Via Bleeding Cool)
