Itās the holiday season, and what better gift to give a comic book enthusiast than comic books? If they are a superhero fan, you could just give them a book from Marvel or DC. However, superheroes are not limited to the Big Two; there are so many other options to choose from. From diverse manga…

Dominikos “Avalanche” Petrakis didn’t get much to do on Krakoa. Unless I missed an X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic – which I definitely did – his only real moment came when he was nominated for the 2022 X-Men vote, a race in which he and a number of other mutants were set up to lose to…
In many regards one of the most inexplicable snubs from The Power Fantasy playlist, ā99 Luftballonsā was a 1983 single by the band NENA. It was inspired by guitarist Carlo Karges attending a Rolling Stones concert in West Berlin and witnessing a bunch of balloons hover in the air. He then wondered what would happen…
