Marvel’s Blood Hunt wasn’t always called that. The summer crossover event, which pits the heroes of the Marvel Universe against many, many vampires across many, many titles, started out being referred to by Marvel editorial and creatives as “UVE,” or “Untitled Vampire Event,” according to writer Jed MacKay, speaking during his appearance on the upcoming…

Things go from bad to fucked for Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm in Fantastic Four #36. Written by Dan Slott; Drawn by Nico Leon; Colored by Dono Sánchez-Almara; Lettered by Joe Caramagna.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie had just hit theaters and the fast-food juggernaut (knowing exactly which way the wind was blowing) had announced the inclusion of Power Rangers toys in each of their…
