Spider-Man villains can be very tragic figures. Just read this book; it is rife with intertextual references to Dostoevsky and Rudyard Kipling in a way that makes it work.

How do you humanise an ideal? The burden of a legacy? How do you come back from loss? When dreams shatter and keep on shattering? How do you recover from rock bottom when you have burdens to bear?
This is a truly iconic run by Captain America; it is almost a cliche that we use…
Sometimes I wish Frank Miller remained this consistent throughout his career.
Frank Miller's run on Daredevil is probably as cliche on "favorite comics" lists as they come, and with good reason. Daredevil is a wonderfully layered character, having been fleshed out as so by this writer; in fact, most of what makes DD so iconic…
I am often criticized for not liking Thor Ragnarok as a Thor movie but simply as a comedy separate from the character. My answer lies somewhere between the runs of writers J. Michael Stracynski, Kieron Gillen, Walt Simonson, and two limited series by Matt Fraction and Paul Jenkins.
Today I will be spotlighting the latter.…
I am cheating here because I was due a Marvel one today. But I watched the supposed finale to the current season of the Flash and...I think I'm finally done with that series. I want to vindicate it.
I read the Flash since I was young. The first comic I picked up of the character…
Most of DC's headliners are all about duality. Many accuse them of being unrelatable - which I completely disagree with.
Wonder Woman is a massively underrated character; of all characters of DC's pantheon, I identify with her chiefly because she originates from an island that has a largely suspicious relationship with the world beyond its…
Today's comic is a rather dark one so I will not show more than I can.
If someone states that there are no good Ghost Rider stories, they have clearly not read Garth Ennis' books about the character. In fact, Road to Damnation is probably the quintessential Johnny Blaze story, as it captures his personality…
Everything dies.
With those words Jonathan Hickman's epic run on the New Avengers - running counter to his equally epic run on the Avengers - hearken the death knell of the multiverse, a truly somber one at that.
Both narratives intertwine with one another at key moments highlighting the differences but as well clearly indicate…
The Green Lantern is my absolute favorite character, tied with the Flash, and the credit for both being on top comes to the same author, Geoff Johns.
Johns has a way of reaching into any character whatsoever and bringing out what makes them work to the forefront, rebuilding their world the ground up in a…
Warren Ellis' Thunderbolts is, in my opinion, a very opportune in light of today's news. It begs the question "what would happen if the very worst decision made by the government was only held together only by a thread", turning it up to 11 by making that thread a psychopath hanging on to sanity by…
JLA Tower of Babel by Mark Waid and Mark Pajarillo continues hot off the heels of World War III arc by Grant Morrison and Howard Porter and is probably one I regret not having read about before. Both arcs clearly indicate what makes the League need one another even if they are essentially gods among…
“Give the people what they want”. After the negative response to the first Sonic trailer, it seemed as if Paramount Pictures had learned from their mistake and the new design for the blue hedgehog, we all know and love was unveiled. Gone were the beady eyes and almost-too-real face and the audience was instead treated…
