Retrospective Review: IRON MAN 2
This review is part of our 20 Days of Infinity War. Click here to for more WOBAM awesome. – Sirs and Misses, I’m gonna have to ask you to exit the donut and take a journey with me. The year is 2010; the film, Iron Man 2; and I, a wide eyed teenager, feigning little interest in the MCU. This was, in part, for a couple reasons.

We here at Astonishing Marvels have some suggestions for Marvel characters that deserve to have their own video games. 1. Black Panther: Black Panther is a cultural phenomenon right now…

FEATURE: 5 Reasons to Get Excited for METROPOLIS
Just a short three months ago, I wrote a feature for our 14 Days of Justice League arguing why Lois Lane deserved a solo film.
