Krakin’ Krakoa #31: X-Force #6 Review – The Rise & Fall of The Beast, Hank McCoy

January 30, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

X-Force #6 by Benjamin Percy and Stephen Segovia digs into Beast’s role with the covert ops team, and it’s an eye-opening glimpse into Hank McCoy’s state of mind and current role on Krakoa.

9 Comic Books for People Who Think They Hate Comic Books

January 28, 2020 by John Galati 5 Comments

It’s 2020, and the world economy is now totally based on comic books. Nations rise and fall with ticket sales. Conventions pop up, demand statehood, and then evaporate on Monday. In every major city, families of 4 are living under the ruined pilot of ABC’s Inhumans while the wealthy demand someone, anyone tell them what a “M.O.D.O.K” is and how much it costs.

As a non-comic fan, you might very well feel left out of the conversation being screamed across social media outlets everywhere. It’s okay, we at Comic Book Herald are finally here to help you.

Fear not. The world gets easier from here.
