COMICS
Once thought of as funny books for children, comic books are both high-art and literature in their own right. We dive deep into the history, latest news, and analysis of this fantastic medium.
Well, we’re at book five of six of the Dawn of X era, and again we’re going back to a classic title. New Mutants was a runaway hit when Claremont started it back in the 80s and gave us characters like Cannonball, Mirage, Sunspot, Cypher, Boom Boom, Karma, and more. Now they’re a bit grown […]
Disney reserved a slew of dates through 2023 for their properties, including five previously unannounced, untitled Marvel movies. The massive movie studio set dates for 24 films in 2020, 19 in 2023, and 21 in 2021 and 2022. Nearly every two weeks, they will be putting out a movie, which is a staggering fact alone. […]
It’s not a controversial statement to say that the state of the DC Extended Universe is in flux. Starting with Zach Snyder’s (underrated, in my opinion) Man of Steel, Warner Bros. tried to emulate Marvel Studios by creating a shared universe for their heroes. Since then, they’ve had a hit-or-miss track record. Snyder’s follow-ups, Batman […]
Event Leviathan is the first crossover event for Brian Michael Bendis in the DCU, and he brought with him one of his best collaborators: Alex Maleev. If you haven’t read the work on Daredevil, stop what you are doing right now and go read it. Leviathan is, like most of DC currently, a mystery. Who […]
In a new interview with his fellow Avenger actor Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans clarifies if he’d ever return to play the character of Captain America again. To be clear, there is no rumor or even hint that Marvel Studios wants his version of Cap back in the films. It’s also not really a definitive answer […]
“Bad things happen in the book.” That’s how writer Benjamin Percy described X-Force during the Dawn of X panel in October’s New York Comic-Con. His gruff voice and declaration that this would be the harshest X-Men book got a few chuckles. If you’ve never Percy speak before, his normal voice is what most actors strive […]
November 12, 2019 marked the first anniversary of Stan Lee’s death, and it’s natural for all of his fans to feel a little sadness. Even though he passed away just a few weeks shy of his 96th(!) birthday, it still feels like he was taken too soon. Perhaps its because after a lifetime of promoting […]
After Jonathan Hickman’s wonderful X-Men #1 kicked off the Dawn of X, we got a brilliant new series with Marauders #1, from Gerry Duggan. In week 3 of the new era of X-Men, we go back to a classic title we haven’t seen since the mid-2000s: Excalibur. And if there’s one thing writer Tini Howard […]
Arrow heads into a “bye week” with a stunning episode that sees Oliver Queen and his daughter Mia meet for the first time since the latter character developed object permanence. Thanks to as-yet unexplained time-travel shenanigans, Kate McNamara’s Mia, Joseph David-Jones’ Connor Hawke, and Ben Lewis’ William end up in the Arrow bunker in 2019. […]
For DC and Marvel Comics, there are multiple crossover events each year, and dozens over the course of a decade. Between the two franchises, there were over 100 events in a ten year period. Some were very small, consisting of just two titles. Others were massive line-wide events. There were a few reboots along the […]
