Why Tom King’s ‘Batman’ Is The Best Superhero Comic Out
What makes a great superhero comic? It’s a tough question. You can look back through the decades and a few really standout: Bendis’ Ultimate Spider-Man, Brubaker’s Captain America, Johns’ Justice League and Snyder’s Batman. And in all honesty, I’m not sure where you put Hickman’s run at Marvel in the 2010s? It spawned two of the best events in the last decade, Infinity and Secret Wars, and somehow it was all connected. What he did is beyond words. What do all these comics have in common? Sorry, it’s not some out-of-the-box answer, but simply, a clear beginning, middle and end. And that does make a difference. It gives the reader a…

VENOM Might Be Projected To Shatter Box Office Records, But Did Sony Make The Right Call?
As of now, Sony’s Venom is projected to shatter October’s box office records with a $65-$85 million opening weekend (Source: BoxOfficePro). One must remember since Venom still has less than two months to go before it hits theaters, the numbers will most definitely change. Most likely in Sony’s favor. This may sound great, but the real test is when the reviews hit the internet. If this movie can garner favorable reviews, then Venom‘s staying power could make this a much needed win for Sony. We’ll have to wait and see. The bigger question you should be asking yourself: Are you happy that it’s going to be rated PG-13? Also, by…

How A Kenobi Movie Will Help Restore The Faith In Star Wars
Disney’s Star Wars films by no means are in trouble. But, they could definitely benefit from the hype and praise that an Obi-Wan Kenobi solo movie set after Revenge of the Sith would provide. Firstly, this is what fans want. Which quite frankly is crazy due to how sick people are of the prequels….Any prequels honestly. But due to how different of a genre this movie could be, the hype makes sense, which would propel this movie. The biggest question: Can Disney make a movie that’s not over 200 million? Lastly, this writer is a fan of The Last Jedi. I appreciated the risks that Johnson took with the movie.…

A Look At The Best Comics In 2018 From Marvel and DC Comics
The comic industry is not doing nearly as well any many people think in 2018. Even though, there are a ton of great comics out, and superheroes movies continued to be all the rage in Hollywood. But somehow, the industry is in despair. There are plenty of factors that include pricing and over-saturation that are making it tough for consumers to take more risks. The average consumer knows what they want and that’s what they’re going to buy. Sadly, this article will not contain any Indie books. And they’re putting out some incredible comics that deserve recognition; but to appeal to the vast majority we’re going to keep it simple…

OPINION: 3 Reasons Why Doomsday Clock Is One Of DC Comics’ Greats After Only 6 Issues
So far, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, have delivered something once thought impossible: Something close in greatness to the original Watchmen comic in Doomsday Clock (and we’re only halfway done). I won’t insult the massive amount of people whom believe that Watchmen walks on water, but at the same time, the duo which given us such classics in Action Comics, Batman: Earth One, and more, are delivering something that is wholly unique, and combining two universes which have no right to be together. You know, like, me and Scotch on a lonely Friday night. Here Are Three Reasons That Doomsday Clock Might Be One Of The Greatest Comics Ever At…

OPINION: Batman or Superman: Which Comic Should You Be Reading?
Right now, the two biggest superheroes in comics are Batman and Superman. One is what all of humanity should strive to be, and one is what a man could be he if dedicated all of his life on a singular goal to stop all crime. And dresses like a bat. They’re also the only two heroes with two separate comic books dedicated to them. You might also be able to count Spidey, but he has, like, ten of them all dedicated to different versions. Anyhoo, this is not an easy question. Both of these characters have A-list writers backing them, and are currently writing some amazing stories. But sadly, comics…
