I love many, many superheroes and I always have. But dating back to my earliest childhood memories, everything has always come down to Spider-Man and the X-Men, for me. While I loved Iron Man, Incredible Hulk and The Fantastic Four, and especially Batman: The Animated Series at the time, those were the ones I needed. […]
Scarlet Witch has been one of the more sidelined Avengers since her full debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron. That’s a bit of a shame as she is one of the most interesting, complex and powerful Avengers in the comic’s long and storied history. Growing up as a child in the 1990s, on the occasions […]
Superhero movies, at least as we know them today, haven’t actually been around that long. It was at the tail end of the ‘90s that modern superhero movies really became a thing. Hugh Jackman and company kicked off the X-Men (arguably the first major franchise in this genre) in 2000, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe […]
The last of Netflix’s Marvel adaptations before The Defenders finally arrived in the shape of Iron Fist, featuring Finn Jones as Danny Rand, the titular hero, returned to reclaim his place in his father’s business empire after being thought dead for years. However, Rand has used his time away to become a martial arts expert […]
Yesterday morning, Marvel and Square Enix both tweeted that they had big announcements to make, which left fans of both watering at the mouth, wondering could be.

The pilot, which is being written and produced […]
According to IMDB, WWE Superstar John Cena has joined the cast of Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok as the world’s mightiest superhero – Himself. That’s right, the unstoppable force of pro wrestling has been listed in the upcoming Taika Waititi film as himself, which suggests a cameo appearance at the very least. This wouldn’t be Cena’s first involvement with Marvel either […]
Marvel has announced that fans will soon be able to purchase 10 different classic Wolverine stories for $1 this February. That’s right, as part of their True Believer series – which are limited releases of some of their most iconic titles – fans can celebrate the legacy of Wolverine and his protégé X-23 with some of […]
Doctor Strange has been around as a character for 53 years, and was somewhat of an an oddity in the early days of Marvel. This is one of few characters created in the 1960’s who had any input from Jack Kirby, who created most of what we know as Marvel today, with arguable amounts of […]
Ghost Rider hasn’t had the screen adaptation fans have been waiting for yet (although I’ll defend both current films until the day I die as being two of the best comic book movies out there).
