Apparently, New Mutants Is More Shining Than Superhero Movie

As everyone sits around and talks about the Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes, Fox is quietly doing its own very cool superhero stuff. They’ve got Deadpool, X-Force, more X-Men movies but it seems like New Mutants may be the most surprising of the bunch. The Josh Boone directed film which stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Maisie…

The Punisher‘s First Trailer Is Filled with Rage and Bullet Holes

We’ve known that Netflix was working on a Punisher solo series spun off from the character’s appearance in the second season of Daredevil for some time now, but the streaming giant’s been secretive about when we can actually expect to see the show.

This 1980s-Style Thor: Ragnarok Trailer Is an Absolute Delight

Hey, remember the 1980s? It was a time when you had to go to a store to rent a movie—and that movie was on video tape with terrible sound and picture quality. But back then, we didn’t know that. We just knew we loved movies. On occasion, those VHS movies would have incredibly cheesy, dramatic…

Jean Grey’s Coming Back From the Dead Again. Please Clap.

There are certain constants in the world of comic books that are so reliable and so predictable, you can damn near set your watch by them. Lying Cat will always catch you lying. Batman will always brood. Jean Grey will never stay too dead for too long. It’s about that time, folks. The Phoenix is…

Netflix’s Punisher Series Will Be the Most Dark and Brutal Part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

A big part of what made Jon Bernthal’s performance as the Punisher work in Daredevil’s second season was that he acted as a dark, twisted foil for the series’ titular hero. But what happens to an antihero like Frank Castle when you take away the more morally sound characters that surround him? Though he was…

Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm Are Reforming the Fantastic… Err, Two, for Marvel Two-in-One

For Legacy, Marvel is bringing back its iconic team-up series, Marvel Two in One—which was basically an entire series dedicated to teaming the Thing up with myriad Marvel heroes.

Marvel’s Secret Empire: Omega Is a Warning That Secret Empire Will Never Really Be Over

In the most technical sense of the word, Secret Empire: Omega is an epilogue to Marvel’s controversial Secret Empire event, which turned Captain America into the Supreme Leader of Hydra who murdered thousands in his campaign to create a new, fascistic world order. But Secret Empire: Omega is really something quite different. One of the…

Thor: Ragnarok‘s Asgardian Goddess of Death Made Me Love Action Figures Again

There was a point in my life right around the second wave of Disney’s Infinity figurines when I became something of a completionist. I’d picked up an action figure or two over the years before, sure, but there was something about the Infinity line’s clean, cartoonish depictions of Marvel characters that spoke to me. After…

Sebastian Stan Thinks of Himself as the Jon Snow of Avengers: Infinity War (And Not Because He Knows Nothing)

As epic as the early footage of Avengers: Infinity War is, it doesn’t really tell you all that much about the film’s plot. Sure, we know that Thor ends up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and that Black Panther and the Winter Soldier are going to team up, but it remains to be seen…

Len Wein Helped Make Comics’ Universes Bigger and Broader and the Whole World Is Better For It

When I sat down to think about whether I could muster any words of remembrance for Len Wein, I found myself stymied. How do you memorialize someone who went from being a fan to doing so much so well on so many levels? Then I realized that the breadth of his work was exactly the…

The New Black Panther in Marvel’s Venomverse: War Stories Needs Her Own Comic Book

Though it’s not a comic book event quite as big as Secret Empire, Marvel’s Venomverse is borrowing some core rules from major crossovers. It’s focused on telling stories of alternate reality versions of Venom from different universes. One of those Venoms is a Nigerian teenaged girl who also happens to become the Black Panther. In…

So what, exactly, has he been up to? When last we saw the Odinson, he was explaining to…

We’d love to see Kamala Khan, the fabulous Ms. Marvel, come to Marvel’s slate of TV shows. Hell, we’d like to see it sooner rather than later, if we’re honest.
