...been writing for Marvel Comics for a while-doing Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four-in the midst of doing all these other things. What's the appeal?It's not something that pays a whole lot of money, but I don't do it for that. I do it for the love of the form. I grew up on comics and cartoons. So, as an adult, I like comics and cartoons. My house looks like it was decorated by a 14-year old with a platinum American Express card. You should do what you enjoy doing, what brings you passion...
...stars on loan from New York City Ballet, Maria Kowroski and Albert Evans. Kowroski, in a startling flesh-colored leotard fashioned like a bikini, had the unenviable task of taking on a role created on Wheeldon’s muse Wendy Whelan, largely inimitable in her otherworldly, limbless, spider-like movement. “Liturgy,” however, is not another one of Wheeldon’s “insect” ballets, nor is it acrobatic, and Kowroski was able to employ her signature endless, elastic legs in a way that made the ballet more poetic than...

For up-and-comers, it’s not as easy to gain recognition. One of the site’s frequently asked questions is, “Hey—you got my name wrong!” Streetsy’s response...
...picture with a $500,000 budget, but it's nothing new for the Kendricks. Their previous movie, Facing the Giants, cost just $10,000, according to the Internet Movie Database, and grossed $10 million; in other words, the film earned its budget 1,000 times over. If Spider-Man 3, budgeted at $250 million, had enjoyed the same return on investment, it could have financed nearly a third of the Senate bailout bill...
