Thor Ragnarok Review: Hey Man, It’s The Best Marvel Movie This Year

by 1 Comment

Thor wastes absolutely no time in teaching you how to watch.

Whereas most action movies would spend a full two hours building to a confrontation between the God of Thunder and Surtur (aka Asgard’s DOOM!), Ragnarok barely wastes five minutes. Even then, Surtur’s realm-conquering monologing is record-scratched over and over by some semi-predictable gags.

I Can Legacy Clearly Now #13 – Luke Cage #166: Circus of Life

Luke Cage #166, by David F. Walker and Guillermo Sanna, is one of the strongest Marvel Legacy opening chapters yet.

In addition to tackling seemingly impossible real-world injustices – in a way Walker proved uniquely skilled on Nighthawk with artist Ramon Villalobos – Luke Cage #166 checks off all the essential Legacy boxes. [Read more…] about I Can Legacy Clearly Now #13 – Luke Cage #166: Circus of Life
