  • Comic Cover of the Week: The 5 Best Classic ‘WHAT IF?’ Stories!

    I’ve watched three of the Disney Plus Marvel ‘What If?’ episodes and so far I’m not particularly excited by any of them. I’m not feeling the CGI “hand drawn” animation and I’m not so far thinking these “What If” questions are as fun as they out to be. I understand that they’re working within the…

    So with all of the talking hype around the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disney Plus, I thought it would be a good idea to post the cover from Captain America # 312, from 1985! Here we get a good look at the original vision of the Flag Smasher, who now I guess…

  • There Is NO Way The Falcon Needs a Damn Loan from a Normie Bank!!

    So I just watched the first episode of The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, I thought it was good, not like mind blowing or anything yet at least, but pretty decent all around. There is however, one damn big ass elephant in the room though. Sam Wilson is BROKE? WTF? I’m just not buying this…

  • Is Marvel Comics Exploiting Diversity?

    I’ve been seeing an increase  of stories recently online & on social media about Marvel Comics and it’s continuing sales slump.

  • Extra! Extra! A Collection of Superheroes Punching Nazis!

    Punching Nazis is all the rage these days! It’s never been a more popular thing than right now and while I really don’t want to condone punching anyone, I’ll admit that I’m not particularly saddened when I find out that it happens! This whole punching Nazis thing is nothing new, especially in comic books. So…

    Well it’s officially election day and it’s been one helluva mess this election season that’s for sure!
