Vision has been one of Marvel Comics’ most unique characters for years for a really important reason. His origin story saw Ultron create Vision to be his “son” while using the body of what was originally believed to be the construct of the Android Human Torch (Jim Hammond), and the brain patterns of the late […]
DC Comics have created some of the biggest legends in superhero comics. Their heroes are often looked at as the exemplars, the ones that every other hero looks up to. For years, DC’s heroes could seem a little lame; they had very little edge and were as goody-goody as that implied. However, this is a […]
Marvel Comics and sci-fi have gone hand in hand since the ’60s, with various examples of super-science being a part of nearly every major (and minor) character. One of the most used is cloning.

Marvel Comics is building up the next major Avengers event Armageddon in books like Avengers: Armageddon and Captain America (Vol. 14).

There was a time when he was outselling everyone but Spider-Man on a regular basis […]
While every Phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been met with some combination of trepidation and excitement, the most unambiguously disastrous slate in the history of Marvel Studios was revealed in July 2019. If the box office failure of Disney’s live-action Moana remake proves anything, it is that no franchise is truly too big […]
Spider-Gwen is the little character that could. First introduced during “Spider-Verse”, specifically Edge of Spider-Verse #2, she was a different look at two different characters brought together.
