Few DC heroes have an identity crisis (but not that Identity Crisis) to rival Aquaman. Is he a goofy sea-faring adventurer who talks to fish? Is he a gritty 90’s action hero with a hook for a hand? Does he look like a Dothraki bro, or a clean cut royal Atlantean? [Read more…] about The Best Aquaman Comics To Read With The 2018 Movie!
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Review!
We’ve all had enough of origin stories. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse course corrects with the perfect reinvention of origins, looping recurring beginnings through a multiversal processor until the residual DNA is part of a broader narrative. Miles Morales’ own origin is streamlined and merged with Marvel’s 2014 Spider-Verse event, somehow defining the character more clearly and more engagingly with an additional cast of Spider-Man origins on the side.

The Best Comics of 2018!
In my book, 2018 is a generally good year for comics, with Marvel’s Fresh Start actually semi-righting a shaky ship, DC maintaining quality at the top of its lineup, and a whole “new” slew of publishers like Black Mask, Vault, and Aftershock joining non-Big 2 regulars like Image, Dark Horse & Boom Comics among my 20 favorites.

Spider-Gwen is one of the most successful “new” Marvel universe characters created in the 2010s. We put “new” in quotation marks because Spider-Gwen is more of a character-remix, one that completely reimagines and reinterprets the original Gwen Stacy into an exciting and fresh new character.
Spider-Gwen’s popularity has far and away transcended the panels and pages of the Marvel comic book universe, becoming a cosplay icon and, most notably, featuring heavily in the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse animated film.
