How to (Re)Read the Hickman Era of X-Men: House of X #3, Pt. 2, House of X #4

Note: I had initially assumed this would be a relatively tight piece, reflecting the pace of blockbuster action. Hah! There’s a lot going on in HOX 4. But for you, dear reader, I’ve uncovered inchoate revelations and tantalizing doubts that will surely sustain your anxieties well into the Dawn of X … [Read More...] about How to (Re)Read the Hickman Era of X-Men: House of X #3, Pt. 2, House of X #4

Thunderbolts by Kurt Busiek comics

Thunderbolts by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley Omnibus Review!

April 12, 2021 By Vishal Gullapalli Leave a Comment

In the early 1990s, John Byrne took over the Avengers. The franchise has never recovered. The run’s negative effects were even more pronounced immediately afterwards, as the franchise couldn’t string 10 good issues together for years. This all culminated in “Onslaught,” a story that served to take the Avengers away from the Marvel Universe and […]

It’s a series […]

Corto Maltese Writer/Artist: Hugo Pratt Corto Maltese was Indiana Jones and Han Solo before Harrison Ford was even invented. He’s Lupin III and Spike Spiegel and yes, even Carmen Sandiego. The character and his title are true classics, capturing and even defining not just a style, but the entire tradition of “action books.” So it’s […]

Thunderstrike Reading Order!

April 8, 2021 By Charlotte Fierro Leave a Comment

What do you get when you cross the Thor mythos with grunge aesthetics? You get Thunderstrike, a new Thor variant made by the 90s, for the 90s. A beefier hero who traded his classic hammer in for an Asgardian mace. It’s a classic epic of a leather jacket fighting other, larger leather jackets. First introduced […]

For generations, Steve Rogers, and several others, have stood as an example of an American ideal, charging into battle decked out in the red, white, and blue.
