Our First Look At Neil Gaiman’s Remastered Miracleman

Many comics legends have worked on Miracleman, but no run on the series is as fondly remembered as Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham’s, cut short before its time. But now Marvel isn’t just remastering Gaiman and Buckingham’s original comics, but letting them finish the story they began 25 years ago. We’ve known about Gaiman and…

There’s One Actually Hilarious Moment In The 2005 Fantastic Four Movie

The 2005 version of Fantastic Four isn’t held up as an example of superhero-movie brilliance… and it hasn’t aged well. It’s mostly a pretty forgettable origin story, with boring action and broad-brush characterization. But it does have one great moment, and here it is. In the scene above, Sue Storm is on Victor von Doom’s…

This Week, Bruce Timm Tells the Tale of His Badass New Wonder Woman

It’s a quiet week for new releases in comics, but nothing really is quiet when you get DC animation maestro Bruce Timm giving us his take on New God Bekka as Wonder Woman.

Human Torch Drone Is a Crazy Dangerous Combination of Blades and Fire

The only time you get to see mutant powers in action is on TV or in a movie courtesy of special effects. But to promote the new Fantastic Four movie, Marvel turned a flying drone into a real-life Human Torch that streaked across the sky while completely engulfed in flames. There was an abundance of…

Marvel’s Civil War Comic Tie-In Will Adapt Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier

So, a comic book adaptation of a comic book movie adapting a comic book storyline of the same name is actually going to adapt two different comic book movies instead, one of which was another comic book movie adaptation of a different comic book storyline of the same name. I’m frowning so hard my head…

Channing Tatum has been eager to star as Gambit in the X-Men spinoff for years, and now The Hollywood Reporter has reported that the actor has officially signed on for the film, despite rumors earlier this week that he was getting ready to leave the project.

Spider-Gwen Comic Can’t Create New Characters Because Of Sony—Or Can It?

There’s been plenty talk of how Marvel’s movies influence their comics—but the story took a seemingly strange twist today following alleged comments from Spider-Gwen artist Robbi Rodriguez claiming the comic can’t create new characters, otherwise Sony would have “first crack” at adapting them for the big screen. The claim came from an interview with Rodriguez…

Hot Toys’ Hulkbuster Just Got A Serious Upgrade

Hot Toys’ Age of Ultron Hulkbuster was already a freakishly detailed and ridiculously impressive toy—and not to mention insanely expensive. Now it’s getting even more ridiculous, and that can only mean good things. Hot Toys have released an extensive upgrade to the still-in-production figure, adding a variety of additional accessories and increased articulation for the…

See the Animated Take on Star Lord’s Origin From Guardians of the Galaxy

If you saw Guardians of the Galaxy and were wondering about what life was like for Peter Quill on Yondu’s ship — well, here’s your answer. This is from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Origins (shudder… Marvel should maybe not name its prequels “Origins” for a bit. It brings back Wolverine memories), which is a…

This Week’s Star Wars Comic Gives Us A Badass Old Ben Kenobi

Back in the days of the prequels, Obi-Wan Kenobi could flip around and swing his lightsaber everywhere like any other action hero—while Ben Kenobi was a much subdued Jedi. That is, until this week’s issue of Marvel’s Star Wars, which gives us an Old Ben who can do a lot more than silly wooping noises.…

Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars Is Still The Best, Silliest Marvel Tribute

Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars might just be the best thing to come from Marvel’s ongoing Secret Wars event. It’s not only filled with brilliant deep cuts for the classic ‘80s comic crossover, but it’s irreverently funny—and this week, it takes on the most iconic moment from the original event. https://gizmodo.com/the-oddest-goofiest-marvel-meta-joke-in-deadpools-secr-1712062488 Minor spoilers ahead for Deadpool’s…

Play Arts Kai’s Black Widow Is Here To Kick Ass And Have Fabulous Hair

Play Arts Kai is back with another crazy entrant to their Marvel Variants line, and—wait. This figure isn’t that crazy. It’s quite restrained, in fact. And kind of totally badass. And it’s Black Widow! Who made this figure, and what have they done with the real Square-Enix? I kid, mainly, but seriously—I was not expecting…

The 10 Worst Parents in Superhero Comics

What makes a hero? Is it bravery? Sympathy for others? Uncompromising morals? Or is it just having really terrible parents? I’m not sure about the latter, but being raised by horrible people clearly doesn’t hurt. Here are 10 moms and dads that being a good guy clearly isn’t genetic. 1) Corsair, Cyclops and Havok’s Dad…

In This Week’s Comics: A Story About A Shrinking Man That’s Not Ant-Man

Sure, Hank Pym and Scott Lang make all that shrinking look fun, but as you can see in this week’s adaptation of the Richard Matheson classic The Shrinking Man, it can be pretty petrifying. But that’s not all in this week’s new comics—Bruce Timm writes Superman! Hacktivists! Zombie Soldiers! And more! Dark Horse Single Issues…
