By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 5, 2012 | News

Marvel teased an event recently called “X-Termination” with little to no details attached, leaving us to speculate.

New Game Of Thrones Season 3 Production Video Shows Off New Characters [Potential Spoilers]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 3, 2012 | News

In my world, “spoilers” is an all-encompassing thing. Most people consider a spoiler simply “knowing how a film ends” or whatever, but I don’t even watch trailers for movies that aren’t adaptations of novels I’ve read. So while I’ll watch the Game of Thrones season 3 production video, I will on occasion turn my head away from […]

The Hawkeye Initiative Strives To Replace All Poorly Drawn Women In Comics With Hawkeye

By Alice W. Castle | Dec 3, 2012 | News

Female representation in comic books (especially how women are drawn in comics) is a really big issue that I won’t get into right now. Instead, I want to highlight The Hawkeye Initiative which is a collection of artists who have taken it upon themselves to redraw every terrible “strong female character” pose with Hawkeye instead.
