X-Termination Mixes Astonishing, X-Treme and Age of Apocalypse Together

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. We guessed some kind of “Age of Apocalypse” crossover with “Wolverine and the X-Men” or “Uncanny X-Force” based on the image, but as it turns out we were only 1/3 right. As revealed today on CBR, “X-Termination” is […]

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

Big news from Vertigo, as reported by CBR, as Karen Berger, Executive Editor and Senior VP of DC’s Vertigo imprint, has stepped down from her position after almost 20 years.

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. […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 3, 2012 | News

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 27, 2012 | News

Alright, here’s the skinny: if the overwhelming amount of great reviews didn’t convince you, and if the talent of Fraction and Aja somehow didn’t hook you in, here’s your perfect reason to buy the upcoming “Hawkeye” #7 — it’s going to be a charity issue. What do I mean by that? Well, as revealed on […]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play Batman in Justice League?

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 27, 2012 | News

One of the odder, and more frustrating aspects, of DC Entertainment’s live action film plans is how disjointed it all feels. Batman Begins kicked off an unprecedented trilogy of success, both critical and commercial, but was consistently revealed to be a sperate entity from any future DC films. Even after Christopher Nolan, director of the […]
