Last week, Marvel gave us DOOM, a one-shot where writer Jonathan Hickman let artist Sanford Greene take the wheel and tell a balls-out story about the hastened death of the universe. It ruled. Hickman is following that up with Wolverine: Revenge, a five-issue miniseries where, much like DOOM, he is letting artist Greg Capullo take…
Normally, as a true fan of The Big Lebowski, I hate the f*****g Eagles, man. Except in one instance: The 1985 soundtrack to the TV show Miami Vice. Nevermind that it was my mom’s favorite show at the time, or that it popularized Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It also included two bangers from…

She’s keeping the hair. She’s keeping an artist who knows how to draw her. She has a Black writer. She’s not returning to any sort of 1990s-era status quo involving the mansion or Blue and Gold teams or a costume you can’t tell is black or white. You guys … I think Storm might be…
