The Fantastic Four Won’t Even Have A Home In Marvel’s “All-New” Universe

The Fantastic Four have been through a lot lately. Their comic got cancelled. They’ve seemingly gone their own separate ways in Marvel’s upcoming continuity reboot. Their movie really, really sucked. Like, really sucked! Anything else would be just kicking them while they’re down. So let’s get kicking! Yes, the Baxter Building, the on-and-off home of…

The Special Effects You Probably Didn’t Even Notice in Daredevil

Compared to the rest of the Marvel universe, Daredevil’s downright restrained. There were far fewer massive action sequences. And not a single Hulk. But special effects were still crucial to making the show work. Speaking to Tech Times, Bryan Godwin, CEO of Shade VFX explained his philosophy of VFX: I think the goal of most…

Deadpool: Paws Proves Deadpool Can Really Work Outside A Comic Book

The idea of a Deadpool novel is exactly as strange as it sounds: how can one of comics’ most comic-booky heroes work in a medium that’s so completely different? But what’s even stranger is that Deadpool: Paws actually works … when it stops trying to be a comic book without the pictures. Paws is certainly…

Square-Enix’s Captain America Is Angular As Hell

There’s a certain soft edge to Captain America designs. Round shield. Rounded helmet. Even his old chainmail was usually round-edged. Not Square-Enix’s latest figure in their Marvel Variants line—this Cap is so angular he could poke your eyes out every time you went even remotely near him. Yes, the latest in the line of Marvel…

Why Happy Daredevil Is the Best Version of Daredevil

For a good long while, Daredevil was Marvel’s ultimate dark hero, a character who experienced and dealt out tragedy in equal measure. But that changed in 2011, when a new Daredevil series gave us a man without fear who wasn’t afraid of being happy—and in the process, gave us one of comic’s most human superhumans.…

There’s Not Nearly Enough Pouches In This Deadpool & Cable Comic Announcement

Deadpool and Cable are scions of the ‘90s comic aesthetic—ridiculously muscular action heroes covered head to toe in enough pouches to carry the firepower of a small country. So when they team up, it should be Pouch City, Population: 2. Sadly, this is not the case in our first look at Deadpool & Cable: Split…

Fantastic Four is The Most Self-Loathing Superhero Movie I’ve Ever Seen

Superhero movies have tried hard to leave behind some of their Silver Age comic-book trappings in the past decade. We’ve seen darker, grimmer versions of Superman and other heroes—but the new Fantastic Four reboot goes beyond darkness, into actual self-loathing. It’s kind of bizarre. Fantastic Four seems honestly mortified to exist. This movie’s central storyline…
