In 1989’s “Inferno,” demons and demonic objects controlled by Madelyne Pryor terrorize New York. Daredevil gets beaten up by a vacuum. It’s fun. In 2025’s Psylocke #10, a possessed Kwannon and a group of Yokai, or Japanese demons, prepare to terrorize the Hand in Tokyo. Some things never go out of style. Funny-looking demons terrorizing…
You know what’s cool? That scene in a movie where the monster or the enraged, vengeance-seeking protagonist – or the enraged, vengeance-seeking monster protagonist – picks off the bad guys one by one from the shadows.

While the Chris Claremont/John Byrne run of Uncanny X-Men is rightly regarded as a creative high water mark for the series, containing some of its best-known and beloved stories (including “Proteus,” “The Dark Phoenix Saga” and “Days of Future Past”), their run ended somewhat abruptly, with Byrne departing after one-too-many “Colossus ripping up a stump”…
Thwip. Snikt. Bamf. ZARK. Thanks to sound effects both hand-drawn and lettered, we know the sound certain Marvel characters make when they do their iconic moves.
