There’s no denying that the popularity of comic book movies has skyrocketed over the past decade. We are in the golden age of live-action superhero films, and it’s a whole lot of fun. Second to the films themselves, the most exciting part about these…

Writer: Donny Cates / Artist: Ryan Ottley / Marvel It’s an understatement to say that any follow-up to Al Ewing’s immaculate Immortal Hulk series has a tall task. Still, the job needs to be done and if anyone can bring wild ideas to a comic book,…

Writer: John Ridley / Artist: Juann Cabal / Marvel Another day, another fresh start. I always love when a new creative team takes the reins on a series and we start back from number one. It gives new readers a jumping-on point and older readers…

Ah, Sony and the Spider-Man franchise. With Marvel in charge of a successful Spider-Man reboot, Sony has been free to explore the other characters under the Spider-Man label, spinning them off into their own solo films. The first of which, Venom,…

Writer: Josh Trujillo / Artist: Jodi Nishijima / Marvel Hands down, Hulking and Wiccan are the best couple in the Marvel Universe. You can fight me on this with all your might, and I still won’t back down. Their love is so pure that I’m so happy that…

Disney released its Japanese-infused take on the Star Wars universe with Star Wars Visions, an anthology series where every episode is directed by a different anime studio. It’s fantastic, a breath of fresh air to the franchise, and some of the most…

Writer: Jed Mackay / Artist: Lee Garbett / Marvel Ah, it’s the combination of my two least favorite genres in comic books – the death of a major character and a “who done it” mystery. Rarely are either of these stories ever done well. The impact of a…

Spoilers follow. When Rick and Morty told us that it would take a break and come back for a hour-long finale, I didn’t know what to expect. It turns out that the show just meant that it would air its last two episodes of the season back-to-back,…

Writer: Cavan Scott / Artist: Ario Anindito / Marvel Comics I’m here for the Orla Jareni supremacy. I just wanted to say that before we started this review. No, she doesn’t play that big of a role in this issue of The High Republic, but she might…

Writer: Tom Taylor / Artist: Iban Coello / Marvel Comics I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Tom Taylor is the master of twisting familiar stories into the best Elseworld tales known to man. The fact that Marvel hasn’t put him in charge of…

Publisher: Luis Antonio/ Developer: Annapurna Interactive / Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X / Release Date: August 19, 2021 Everyone is familiar with the movie Groundhog Day and the idea behind time loops, where one either repeats a day or a…

What If…? is upon us and a whole variety of unrestricted stories are about to hit the MCU. So, I got to thinking about how we got here. A few weeks ago, Loki’s finale aired. It was pretty good, introducing us to He Who Remains and his job to maintain…

Writer: Saladin Ahmed / Artist: Christopher Allen / Marvel Comics I think the core of any good Spider-Man is how strong they stand at the end of a harsh battle. Being Spider-Man is hard and after the trauma Miles has been through, it’s easy to see…

Writer: Mark Russell / Artist: Sean Izaakse / Marvel Comics It’s amazing what kind of comic book stories writers can create when they have to deal with the passage of time. Every issue of Fantastic Four: Life Story moves from one decade to the next…

Spoilers follow for the latest episode of Rick and Morty. A lot of animated comedies are truly at their best when they fully explore the world they create and the characters that inhabit them. The same is true for Rick and Morty. Actually, it’s…

If this week’s Rick and Morty proves anything, it’s that mashing together several different parodies is not a surefire way to success. 'Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion' tries to mix the anime world of Voltron with... Scarface? It’s an odd combination…

Writer: Aaron Kuder / Artist: Aaron Kuder / Marvel Comics When you give writers a one-shot, they are guaranteed to have some wild ideas. Annual issues tend to bring out the craziest concepts a writer can think up for a story. And the format lets them…

Writer: Saladin Ahmed / Artist: Carmen Carnero / Marvel Comics When Miles Morales’ Clone Saga began, I thought we were getting another long, drawn-out event attempting to tackle this infamous storyline. Instead of an event, Saladin Ahmed’s Clone Saga…

Is the President of the United States Rick’s greatest rival? I know it’s been in our face this whole time, but for some strange reason, I’m just realizing it. 'Rick and Morty’s Thanksploitation Spectacular' is another chapter in the growing feud…
