Generation X #2 Written by Christina Strain | Art by Amilcar Pinna | Published by Marvel Comics When looking at recent relaunch of all the X-Men titles there is no question what the weakest link is so far and that is Generation X. So far it is a series that is severely lacking its own […]
Written by Nick Spencer | Art by Andrea Sorrentino, Rod Reis | Published by Marvel Comics When Secret Empire #0 debuted I was amazed by how much was packed into the first issue.

Written by Mariko Tamaki | Art by Nico Leon | Published by Marvel Comics I give writer Mariko Tamaki a lot of credit because it could not have been easy to pitch a Hulk story that did not have Hulk into it until the sixth issue. I cannot think of another situation quite like this […]
Written by Gerry Duggan | Art by Matteo Lolli | Published by Marvel Comics Way back when Steve Rogers was killed at the end of Civil War (Spoiler!) Marvel used that moment to showcase just how important of a character he was to the universe. They took the time to show just how many characters […]

In this issue we see Sam Wilson is the heart and soul of this story. […]
Written by James Robinson | Art by Carlos Pacheco | Published by Marvel Comics So when is an introduction not actually needed? When it comes to launching a solo comic book series it’s actually an important question to answer. Do you need to spend time getting the reader familiar with the character or can you […]
Written by Chad Bowers, Rob Liefeld | Art by: Jim Towe, Rob Liefeld | Published by Image Comics Currently, 90’s nostalgia is higher than it has even been before. We have shows like X-Files, Twin Peaks, and Rosanne all getting new seasons, and not to mention the fact Beauty and the Beast and Jurassic World are […]

Written by John Shackelford | Art by Aaron Alexovich | Published by Titan Comics Cross pollination is all the rage at the moment. Games into films into books into TV shows into comics, rinse and repeat. This obviously has good and bad consequences. On the good side, if we like something a lot it’s nice […]

It is this moment of catharsis you reach through […]

Written by Rick Remender | Art by Wesley Craig | Published by Image Comics When it comes to the art of making a great comic it is easy to overlook the importance of each piece of the puzzle. Yes comic fans are well aware of their favorite artists and writers but the inkers, letters, and […]
