Rob Liefeld – A Tale of Two Dogs Fighting

by 2 Comments

It had to happen. We had to talk about Rob Liefeld. The man is, and always will be, an enormous figure in the comics field. So big that the gravity he exerts pulls all blogposts towards him.

But I did not want to make the standard Rob Liefeld article. I didn’t want to make pouch and feet jokes or take cheap shots at his infamous Captain America drawing. These things are tired and unhelpful. Instead, I will try my best to put jokes aside because Rob Liefeld deserves many, many things… but not humor.

That being said, it’s truly been some time since fans have been genuinely excited about Marvel’s Children of the Atom. All that has recently changed with the launch of Jonathan Hickman’s slate-cleaning take-over as the intertwining mini-series House of X and Powers of X currently unfold and astound.

by Leave a Comment

We’re still a few months away from the release of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker and while official sneak-peek details have been thus far relatively sparse, it goes without saying that speculation throughout fandom is at an all-time high. 

As the concluding chapter to one of pop culture’s watershed sagas, so much is riding on how this movie unfolds. Sure, there’s been the fist-pumping teaser trailer and action figure reveals such as the mysteriously red-uniformed Sith Troopers, but really it’s still mostly wide-open curiosity as to where these breadcrumbs go. As such, here’s some suggestions from Marvel’s catalog of canonical Star Wars titles to serve as some “pre-game” fan fuel, hopefully informing the flavor and enriching the background of the upcoming film… [Read more…] about Best Star Wars Comics To Read Before Episode 9

The Joker is the perfect comic villain, with high scores across every conceivable grade. He’s instantly recognizable. He’s the dark reflection of Batman’s psychotic, violent tendencies. Joker’s got range, allowing him to be funny and charming while terrifying others.

Best of all, he never loses track of being terrifying. No one does bad better than him, and the few times he tries to be good? He’s worse.
