The Rulk Stands Revealed – Now What?

By | May 15, 2010 | Columns

Remember this guy? The Rulk is one of the only characters alive who is almost entirely mutually loathed, if only for his complete lack of any kind of redeeming qualities. Created a little over two years ago in Hulk #1 by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness, the Rulk has been a boon for Marvel’s sales […]

Those who picked up Bendis’ New Avengers just to read an Avengers title without having read his series Alias as well might be a little bit confused as to exactly who Jessica Jones (-Cage) is.

Character Spotlight: Captain Cold

By | Dec 9, 2009 | Columns

Every great hero needs a great villain. It’s a simple balance of yin and yang. And while it is easy to great a great hero, sometimes it’s hard to create a compelling villain to go along with him. This is why so many heroes have a rather large “rogues gallery,” as it were. But then […]

Character Anti-Spotlight: The Red Hulk

By | Oct 14, 2009 | Columns

When we first came up with the concept of Character Spotlights, it was in order to help give certain characters a boost in fandom. Of course, David managed to sneak in there a little bit of an anti-spotlight one day (in regards to The Sentry), and thus the Anti-Spotlight was born. Something has been brewing […]
