Best Comics To Read Before Avengers: Endgame

April 10, 2019 by Dave Leave a Comment

Avengers: Endgame is wholly unique in superhero movies, promising an unheralded level of revelation for the mysteries left in the wake of Avengers: Infinity War. There are so many varied directions Endgame might go, meaning related reads are part recommendation, part Nostradamus pontificating.

In trying to come up with relevant and potentially predictive Marvel Comics that will connect to the next installment in the Avengers movie franchise, it occurs to me how few Marvel books reflect quite the same notes. While we know this isn’t the final Avengers movie, there’s a permanence and finality to the post Infinity War MCU that the never-ending story of comics rarely embraces.

Godzilla’s Comic Smash Hits

March 27, 2019 by Matt Lehn Leave a Comment

Godzilla has been an icon of pop culture for so long it really is the embodiment of that Lt. Ripley Aliens line of not knowing where you begin and the beast ends. Godzilla in comics, though- now that’s a kaiju of a whole different color.

As a licensed property of the Toho film and distribution company, the Big G has passed through a lot of publishing houses in the past sixty-something years. Older fans surely hold dear with rose-colored esteem Marvel’s Bronze Age volume, complete with guest appearances by the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as the highly-regarded years that Dark Horse held the rights to the franchise in the 80s and 90s.

Go big or go home. It’s not just a phrase for sports rallying or partying like there’s no tomorrow.

Mangas that Belong in a Library in 2019

March 7, 2019 by John Galati 1 Comment

Educators at every level are using pop culture to teach students literacy (both linguistic and cultural). And while classes on Moore and Spiegelman might seem old hat by now, there’s an increasing push to use Manga to reach out to a new generation of kids who prefer that format to the Western style.

But where can I start for my school library? you might be asking in a way that’s convenient for my search terms. Easy. Here’s a list of some great titles, broken up by age group and genre, that will fit right in at school or at home. [Read more…] about Mangas that Belong in a Library in 2019
