Ultimate Spider-Man: Qui pure Mysterio ti frega... pure a te che lo leggi!Ultimate Spiderman 16, scritto da Jonathan Hickman, disegnato da Marco Checchetto, edito da Panini Comics.

Is the MCU back on track? Latverian_Lad and Dayspring break down Fantastic Four: First Steps!

Welcome to the Age of Revelation—where mutants rule from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, and a dark future unfolds under the Heir of Apocalypse. In this video, we break down and review Age of Revelation kickoff issue by Jed MacKay and Humberto Ramos that redefines the future of the X-Men.

Rachel Summers! Feral! X-Men '97 Emma Frost! We have LOTS to discuss!

The Fantastic Four are finally back on the big screen, with Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps now out in theaters! It has been a nightmare watching some of my favorite characters in all of comics continuously get butchered in big screen adaptations, and Kevin Feige & Marvel Studios have been promising that they're finally gonna deliver a faithful adaptation of the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four have, truly, always been some of my favorite characters in Marvel Comics. From the Byrne run of the '80s to the Jonathan Hickman run, they've also had some of my favorite long runs in all of Marvel. Even the current Ryan North run is fantastic. But for so long, film adaptations have never really understood what made the team awesome. The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been, without question, my most anticipated MCU movie of this era because all the trailers have really teased that this film will finally deliver on the intimate family dynamics, old-school optimism and whacky sci-fi of the stories I grew up loving. And the fact that this felt like the most unique movie in the entire MCU, because of it's setting and decor, was just a bonus. So, does The Fantastic Four: First Steps mark the triumphant arrival of some of the MCU's most captivating new characters, or is it another Multiverse Saga dud? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!The Fantastic Four: First Steps:Directed by: Matt ShakmanScreenplay by: Josh Friedman and Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian SpringerStory by: Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian Springer and Kat WoodBased on the Marvel comics by: Stan Lee and Jack KirbyProduced by: Kevin FeigeCo-Producer: Mitch BellExecutive Producers: Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis, Tim LewisMusic by: Michael GiacchinoDirector of Photography: Jess HallEdited by: Nona Khodai, Tim RocheCasting by: Sarah FinnProduction Design by: Kasra FarahaniCostume Design by: Alexandra ByrneCast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah NilesSynopsis: Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel's First Family is forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

X years went by quick! The X-Men are in the AGE OF REVELATION! Brett and EvilJeff look at its upcoming cover & title solicits and ask "Will it be a Revelation or an Abomination?' Plus! We review Jed McKay and Humberto Ramos's Age of Revelation # 0 and a bunch of other Marvel Comics including Jonathan Hickman and Federico Vicentini's IMPERIAL and Sam Humphries and Ton Lima's NEW AVENGERS!

What part of his history were you most excited to dig into, and what makes your take on the Goblin stand out?Norman's been a villain, a businessman, a politician, and sometimes even a twisted version of a hero. How do you approach writing a character who's constantly shifting between personas?Your Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone series introduces a walled-off wasteland, kaiju lore, and the myth of a half-man, half-kaiju survivor. How did you approach building suspense and worldbuilding in this isolated, almost post-apocalyptic setting?Writing Godzilla means balancing spectacle with humanity. What's your approach to telling grounded stories in the shadow of kaiju-level destruction?Now onto Blink and You'll Miss It — the tone and premise feel so personal and unique. How did this story come together, and what inspired you to tell a love story with a sci-fi twist?There's a big emotional core in Blink and You'll Miss It, but also some wild time-manipulation ideas. How did you balance the heart with the high-concept hook?You're juggling three very different projects — a Marvel villain origin, a giant monster epic, and a bittersweet romantic mini. How do you shift your mindset between such wildly different tones and genres?All three books deal with identity in some form — Norman's fractured psyche, a couple navigating time, and characters caught between humanity and monsters. Is that a theme you're consciously exploring across your work, or something that just naturally emerges?Fun one to wrap things up: If the Green Goblin got his own kaiju-sized glider and showed up in the Godzilla universe… how long would he last, and which monster would absolutely wreck him first?

Viajamos al oeste más distópico que podía imaginar la mente de un genio como Jonathan Hickman, para encontrarnos con un inminente fin del mundo que traerán los mismísimos Jinetes de Apocalipsis. Con la ayuda gráfica de Nick Dragotta, nos sumergen en una trama de geopolítica mezclada con la acción más sangrienta y frenética, en donde nadie está a salvo del inevitable final de todo, ni siquiera los dos amantes que le dan corazón a uno de los indies de mayor calidad de los últimos tiempos.

In this episode, we sit down with Avenue Magazine Editor-at-Large Alexander Mason Hankin to dive deep into all things Emma Frost. We explore her latest role in Marvel Rivals, unpack the evolution of her iconic X-fashion, and share our dream casting for Emma Grace Frost in the MCU—plus why we think Emma Roberts would be the perfect choice.

The boys kickoff Pride in the only way they know how: by assuming every character in the comics is gay. Ms Marvel is time traveling, Jonathan Hickman creates a new era of galactic politics maybe, and they get crazy about how many AIs are in Vision Quest (and don't need to be). They also talk about Peter David and his incredible work.

You stepped in for Tom Taylor on this annual—can you walk us through how that came about? Was this a story you had to write quickly, or did you have some room to breathe and make it your own? 2. The story kicks off with a classic locked-room mystery—an impossible murder in a high-tech safe room. What drew you to that kind of puzzle, and how did you approach building a detective narrative worthy of Batman?3. There's a moment where Batman's costume subtly shifts from black to blue once he's in London. Is that just a visual cue, or is there something more symbolic going on there?4. What's your take on the annual format? Do you see it as a chance to tell something self-contained and weird, or a pressure cooker to do a lot in a single oversized issue?5. You're working with a trio of incredible artists—Stefano Raffaele, John McCrea, and Fico Ossio. How did you decide who handled which parts of the story, and what did each artist bring to the table stylistically?6. This annual flirts with the idea of Batman not just solving crimes but confronting the nature of reality. How far is too far for Batman, in your mind, when it comes to stories that push past the physical world?7. UK mythology and angels? John Dee's magic - Elizabethan 8. Maybe the most important question of them all, what is Batman's favorite tea and how does he take it?

This week the boys discuss Marvel Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman, Alan Tuck, the Sci-Fi Network and more!

Living Hell introduces readers to Jerome Jameel—a husband, father, and demon who has escaped Hell to start a new life on Earth. What inspired you to create a protagonist with such a complex duality?​2. The series blends elements of humor, heart, and darkness, drawing comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Good Omens. How did you approach balancing these tones within the narrative?​3. As both the writer and artist for Living Hell, how did your creative process evolve when developing the visual style to complement the story's supernatural themes?​4. The concept of Hell as a prison where demons have lived in exile is intriguing. Can you elaborate on your interpretation of Hell and how it influences the characters' motivations?​5. Jerome's encounter with a bounty hunter from Hell sets the plot in motion. Without giving too much away, what can readers expect from this confrontation and its impact on Jerome's new life?​6. Living Hell is your creator-owned debut. What challenges and rewards have you experienced in bringing your own vision to life through this series?​7. The series is described as a four-issue miniseries. How did you structure the storyline to ensure a satisfying arc within this format?​8. (Fun/Silly Question!) If you were a demon escaping Hell to live incognito on Earth, what profession would you choose to blend in, and why?​
