Earth’s mightiest heroes wore black today, to mourn the passing of Stan Lee. No bright reds, greens, or yellows, for the man who had so lovingly coloured them for all these years, lies buried, surrounded by the ones he brought to life.

Netflix’s House of Cards began the march towards its finale with its lead actor markedly absent. Kevin Spacey has become persona non grata in a way other men accused of harassment, like Louis CK, have managed to avoid. It’s hopefully a sign of things to come.
