  • The Single Greatest Rendition of THE INCREDIBLE HULK?! I Think SO!

    I’m going way out on a limb here to make a very bold statement today- I am going to declare THIS particular piece of artwork as my single favorite image image of The Incredible Hulk! I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while and ever since I was a kid I could never get…

  • Comic Cover of the Week: She-Hulk Savagely STOPS Traffic!

    I’m super stoked for the new She-Hulk series that will be coming out on Disney Plus!  From what I’ve seen so far it looks to be a  pretty good representation of the classic character we’ve all come to love. Back in 1980 the 2nd issue dropped of She’Hulk with a cover to remember from one…

  • Comic Book Cover of the Week: Old School Buscema Immortal Hulk #1!

    So for the time being I’ve taken a break from buying comic books weekly as they are pretty damn pricey these days and honestly there really weren’t too many titles that really grabbed and made it worth the weekly cash drop. As a huge fan of The Incredible Hulk ever since I was a little…

  • Is It Finally The Right Time For a SHE-HULK Movie?!

    So I recently checked out the Wonder Woman movie and to my surprise it was pretty damn good, for a modern day superhero movie. I only really say this because the first time we saw Gal Gadot in the role was in the wretched Batman V Superman. Uggh I tried to erase that horror story…

  • Comic Cover of the Week: Marvel’s Classic Anthology Series!

    Marvel Comics Presents was a cool anthology series from 1988 that really kickstarted the first Wolverine solo series that same year. This started one of my favorite eras of the character where he took the nickname “Patch” and hung out on the mythical island of Madripoor for some truly grand adventure. Marvel Comics Presents #1…

  • Comic Book Cover of the Week: Conan The Barbarian Hits the NYC Streets?!

    What If was one of the coolest Marvel Comic books ever, it was kinda like a weird ass Twilight Zone episode starring your favorite characters! This cover here to What If #13 is a personal favorite and it wouldn’t be the last time Conan grazed the pages of this particular title. He’d go on to…

  • The Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer: Did it Deliver?!

    I know, The Avengers: Age of Ultron  probably doesn’t need any more hype, as it’s clearly on it’s way to probably being the most successful movie of all time. But to not chime in a little on this one would be a crime right? I was a big fan of the first one, it was…

  • Comic Book Cover of the Week: The Punisher Teamed Up With ARCHIE?!!

    What the hell is up with this here? The Punisher met Archie way back in 1994? Yeah it’s true, this one shot 48 page epic featured The Punisher hunting down a drug dealer named “Red” whose hiding in Riverdale! Frank Castle goes undercover at Archie’s school as a Gym class teacher and mistakes Archie for…

  • ‘The Wolverine’ Trailer: Did They Finally Get it Right?

    I won’t lie, I’ve been looking forward to finally seeing the trailer for ‘The Wolverine’ for quite some time now. The wait is over, we finally got to see a glimpse of what we’re in store for this summer. As you may know I loathed X-men Origins: Wolverine with a passion. I still have a…

  • Comic Book Cover of the Week! Savage!

    Well folks if you’re fans of the Hulk it just DOESN’T get any better that this! Here you have probably my favorite picture ever drawn and or painted of ol’ Jade Jaws by none other than the legendary John Buscema! This one comes from The Hulk Magazine #26 from 1978. The Hulk magazine was called…
