Whatever your opinion of the direction Marvel has been taking with its comics, the figures can't lie. A quick glance at the top twenty comic book sales for 2017 show a company which once had a stranglehold on the top figures losing its grip. These figures reflect a...
Let's face it, Darth Vader was in danger of becoming a relic. Sure, he will always be the first, the greatest Star Wars villain, but as time has marched on (most likely to the tune of the Imperial March) Darth Vader might have been seen to be obsolete. For the average...
This is, ultimately, a tale of hope and faith. Sure, it's going to involve a lot of inflammatory adjectives directed at Michael Bay and his big, stupid head, but in the end, it is about you, dear reader and your big, dumb, beautiful heart. And how it gets constantly...
Comic book movies are so IN right now! Not only has the public wholeheartedly embraced them, but the movie world is doing back flips now that they have found properties that can make them enough money to sink their newly purchased yachts with the weight of their newly...

Let's face it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was built entirely on the back of one man... Willie Lumpkin. No, not really, it was built on the back of Robert Downey Jr. Looking back now, it's hard to believe that it couldn't have succeeded. The Iron Man movie works so...
There has been a lot of talk about diversity in comics. It has become the buzz word thrown around when companies want to distract from the fact that they have been writing the same story over and over since 1938. The Big Two use it when a woman is given a lower tier...
I love comics. Period. Although there may be certain characters who inhabit my wild fan-boy heart more than others, I don't choose sides when it comes to my imagination. Marvel does some amazing funny books. So does DC. So does Image. So does Fantagraphics. So do the...
No thanks, I don't like to chatting with awesome people about stuff I love.
