The world’s greatest heroes fight to become the champion to enter the ring against Darkseid, but there’s a catch: The closer you get…
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. Y’all hungry for that X-Men tea, apparently. But enough bitterness. After taking a look at Marvel’s “Shadows of Tomorrow” announcements, here…
I remember being in the room for a panel about the return of Vertigo at the 2018 New York Comic Con. Then DC editor Mark Doyle wore his finest Canadian tuxedo. Dan Watters talked about Lucifer. One of the Thrilling Adventure Hour guys had a book out. Tina Horn made dirty jokes about her sex…
We’re back following the three runs we’ve been reading in order for a while now. No Man’s Land reaches its midpoint as the Bat family comes home to Gotham and the identity of the new Batgirl is revealed. Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne face their ultimate challenge as they are trapped between Dr. Hurt and…
How do you think Thor died? Can Doug’s voice make gods do his bidding? Or does Murewa Ayodele’s Akogun-but-with-Marvel characters thing just keep going regardless of what’s going on on the ground? If Storm’s still a god-level character, couldn’t she kill Doug? Come to think of it, if Carol Danvers has the Phoenix Force, why…

Now, more than ever, we are all the Toxic Avenger. A bunch of weirdos, hideously deformed by a cruel, uncaring system, who have chosen to strap on our tutu, pick up our mop and seek justice through unhinged vigilantism. In an age where nearly every 30-50-year-old property has been licensed into a comic (Wild West…
We’re just days away from this year’s New York Comic Con at the Javits Center. And while we’ll be providing our normal podcast interviews and website wrap-up coverage, we wanted to share our thoughts beforehand of some stuff we’re excited to see (or not see since we won’t be there all weekend). The Fantastic Four:…
