Hell, there are two Laura Kinneys right now! You ain’t special anymore, Bub. Anyway, Marvel’s made it quite clear recently: New Mutants is…
The rights to Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian have bounced around from comics publisher to comics publisher the past few years.

In 1997, Toy Biz released a line of action figures called “X-Men: Monster Armor” where the X-Men got cool Halloween costume looking snap-on accessories.

In 2024, the copyright for Mickey Mouse is set to expire. That’s not to say it won’t be extended — it’s happened twice since 1984 — but could you imagine a timeline where the mascot of the largest entertainment conglomerate in the world is allowed to roam free, teaming up with everyone from Batman to…
Ben Percy and Corey Smith have been quietly making a killer Ghost Rider book over the last year. It’s a comic that basks in being a comic, one that enjoys the dumb fun of being about a demonic, on-fire, motorcycle riding skeleton. In this latest preview, Ghost Rider and his new goth FBI agent friend,…
