So, funny story. We were at New York Comic Con on Friday with the intention of attending the X-Men panel, but the line to get in was so long that we were boxed out.

A while back, we here at ComicsXF were pondering the origin and frequency of ZARK, give or take a few Z’s, as a, or perhaps the, sound effect for Cyclops’ optic beams. Surely, ZARK must be up there in terms of mighty Marvel sound effects, along with THWIP, SNIKT and BAMF, right? In fact, what’s…

The larger Marvel Universe is starting to come knocking as the team faces star of stage and screen MODOK from Gerry Duggan, Javier Pina, Marte Gracia, and Clayton Cowles.
