    10 Years Ago, Marvel’s Biggest Event Ruined What Could Have Been a Classic Hulk Story (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Superheroes have been around for a long time, and by this point, the thousands of collective stories told across decades have covered what many consider to be all the ground these stories could. There’s the old saying that there’s nothing original under the sun, and that’s definitely true to a certain extent. Stories have long since learned from and repeated each other, with each new writer putting their own spin on the material. However, every now and again comes a comic run that truly feels sp

    DC Has Officially Gotten Rid of Superman’s Best New Characters, And It Reflects a Major Recurring Problem (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Superman is one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time. Even if you’re not a comic book fan, you’ve heard of the Man of Steel and know at least a little bit about him, even if that only includes his look and general powerset. Everyone knows who Superman is and that he’s a hero who fights for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow for everyone. He’s the face of everything DC does and everything they want people to associate their unique brand of heroism with. His S-crest is one of the

    Wonder Woman 2026 Annual: Wonder War - The Matriarch Special #1 Humanizes the Heroine's Newest Villain in a Necessary Way (Review) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Tom King is no stranger to, shall we say, controversial comic book runs. His mini- and maxiseries tend to garner near-endless praise, but whenever he’s given free rein to tell a story across more than fifteen issues, it tends to pad itself. A lot. That’s one of the biggest criticisms of his newest run on Wonder Woman (2023), especially with the introduction of his ultimate villain, the Matriarch. From what we’ve seen of her so far, she’s a fierce, unstoppable warrior who is the daughter of both

    The Amazing Spider-Man #1000 Is Great, But It Should Have Been Spectacular (Review) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Spider-Man is Marvel’s biggest, most iconic, most influential character, without question. When people think of the quintessential superhero, at least a good majority of them are going to think of good old Peter Parker. Alongside Superman and Batman, he’s recognized as the most influential superhero to ever exist. His face is indisputably on the superhero Mount Rushmore for a reason, after all. His stories tackling responsibility, everyday drama, and out-of-this-world superheroics have millions

    The Multiverse Is Incredible for Lore, But It’s Ruining Iconic Characters Like Wolverine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The multiverse is one of comic books’ most useful and inventive tropes. It first made its way onto the page in Wonder Woman (1941) #58, although it was thrust into the public eye with The Flash #123’s “The Flash of Two Worlds!” and has since become a key part of how superhero universes operate. Even across the pond in Marvel, the multiverse became the de facto way to explore interesting questions and bring a new version of classic characters into the spotlight. Most famously, Spider-Man went fro
