(Civil War II spoilers ahead.) I like an epic story. I don’t think any medium can create an epic, tell it on so many differing levels of awesomeness as the comic book can. Although we all complain about ‘events’ and how we get tired of them, let’s face it, we always take a peek to… Continue reading Why Marvel’s ‘Civil War II’ Gave Me An Aneurysm.
Author: RW Adams
A long time ago in a galaxy just next to the public toilets, RW was spawned from an old copy of Weird magazine. A lover of all things comic book, RW has since grown into a fully formed geek who, somehow, still manages to be quite handy with a screwdriver. Although occasionally tempted to the dark side of reading books with no pictures, RW's love for his beloved comic medium has remained strong and one day he hopes to have Geoff John's babies. He dwells high atop a mountain in the nether regions of Australia and once picked a fight with a kangaroo (they are now firm friends and spoon regularly). RW can currently be found working on his novel, The Last Dragon, has recently started posting chapters of his other novel, Blackmaw on Wattpad (wattpad.com/user/Rwadams) and regularly spewing words out in an odd and slightly askew fashion over on his website 40andflailing.com

Five Reasons Why Tony Stark Will Die In ‘AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR.’
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 beautifully, is so exciting and encapsulates… Continue reading Five Reasons Why Tony Stark Will Die In ‘AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR.’
So, What Does “Diversity” in Comics Mean Anyway?
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 title which… Continue reading So, What Does “Diversity” in Comics Mean Anyway?
Has Marvel Lost Its Way?
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 quintillion other publishers out there. I don’t see… Continue reading Has Marvel Lost Its Way?
