I went down the rabbit hole of cover homages to the first appearance of Marvel’s first family, Fantastic Four No. 1 (1961), by Jack Kirby. It was a fun romp full of exciting takes on the cover’s composition. There were many fan made homages to wade through, but I wanted to only include industry printed […]
If you have about an hour and fifteen minutes, then have I got the video for you to watch. This full walkthrough of the Sega Genesis X-Men 2: Clone Wars is a fun run. This is probably one of my top ten games from the Sega that I still have fond memories of. I put […]
Giancarlo Esposito Confirms Talks with Marvel Studios, with his sights on the Role of Professor X. Yes, please! This would be a perfect role for this actor. I’ve enjoyed him in everything that I have seen him in. His roles as the Queen’s Mirror in Once Upon a Time, Pastor Ramon Cruz in The Get […]
Probably the most interesting news out of the Sandiego ComicCon is the reveal of the upcoming X-Men ’97 animated series. Being an X-Men fan from the 70s, and up, when the series premiered in 1992, I was ecstatic. Sure, I was 22 excited for a cartoon, but it was well written and had plenty of […]
When Disco was supreme, she was its Mutant Queen.
My first New Teen Titans comic was issue number four from 1981. The fabulous confrontational cover reeled me in, the story set the hook… I was caught.

The Children of the Atom are a group of young vigilantes, they’re comprised of Cherub, Cyclops-Lass, Gimmick, and the brothers Marvel Guy and Daycrawler. Honestly, I’ve been sleeping on this title. I read the collection and it is a fresh take on new heroes. Once I put aside my old-man “ughh… this isn’t MY X-Men” bullshit, I really got into the […]
Back in 1978-79 my Mum surprised me with two subscriptions to Marvel comics. One was for the Amazing Spider-Man and the other was for the Incredible Hulk. My first issues were Spider-Man #212, the first appearance of Hydro-Man , and Hulk #254, the first appearance of the U-Foes. I remember these issues vividly. Now years before this epic moment in my life, well it seemed […]
No Spoilers: As an ardent fan of X-Men, The Animated Series from 1992, my high-level opinion of this new title is… fun! There are a few call-backs to old 70s/80s Uncanny X-Men that I found very pleasing. As a continuation of X-Men ’92, this takes a few cues from the current comics with enough of […]
