As anticipation continues to mount for the very first Avengers: Infinity War trailer, which will apparently be here before the year’s end, fans are understandably eager for just about anything from the film that they can get their hands on. Unfortunately though, there hasn’t been much. At least, not in the way of official material. But what we have seen a bit of is promo art.
In fact, that’s exactly what we’ve got for you today, as a new piece has surfaced that shows off some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in all their glory. Seen in the gallery below are Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon, with the first two sporting their new looks for the film. Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, meanwhile, appears mostly the same as the last time we saw him, but fans will no doubt appreciate getting a glimpse of the trio regardless.

The vastly controversial Secret Empire has now wrapped up, meaning the hundreds of fans who hated the idea of Steve Rogers becoming a Nazi dictator can breathe easy again. At the conclusion of the crossover event, the Cosmic Cube’s changes to reality were reversed and the heroic Rogers returned to reclaim his place as Captain America. But he was still missing one vital part of the ensemble…
The following Marvel event has been Generations, a series of one-shots which pairs a different original hero up with the legacy character who took on their mantle. In Generations: Sam Wilson Captain America and Steve Rogers Captain America #1, Wilson ended up stuck in the past, specifically in World War II. Unable to stay out of the fight, he became a wartime myth known as “The Man in the Air.” His heroics even inspired Steve, still new to being Captain America at the time,...

At first glance, this does not sound like a good idea.
U.S. Avengers and Uncanny Avengers will not survive the new year. January brings us a three-month mini-event called Avengers: No Surrender. Okay; on the face of it, this seems like a good idea – and pretty much what I was calling for in this space back on September 6th when I said Secret Empire might have been a worthy eight-parter if it had been entirely confined to the two Captain America titles, segueing from Sam Wilson to Steve Rogers and completely in the hands of writer Nick Spencer. Okay, I guess I’m getting much of what I asked for.
However, Avengers: No Surrender also marks the cancellation of both U.S. Avengers and Uncanny Avengers and the “promotion” of The Avengers to weekly status… at least for the duration of the storyline. There are 13 shipping weeks in the...

Now that we have the epic battle that was Steve Rogers versus Steve Rogers which took place in Secret Empire #10 behind us, we can look forward to something a little more uplifting. As it turns out, it’ll come in the form of a Generations one-shot that’ll unite Captain Americas Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. Yes, after a year or so of all that Hydra jazz, the American Dream is finally alive and well.
By now, you’re probably aware of what the Generations concept is, but just in case you’re not, we’ll give you the gist of it. Basically, fan favorites past and present have been brought together via the Vanishing Point, thereby allowing team-ups of heroes who’ve adopted various mantles to take place.

Many comic book fans have been critical of DC and Marvel for not sufficiently supporting their film releases. A long-standing goal of the comics' publishing side of the business is to build and increase comic book readership on the back of each new film, but more often than not the storylines in the comics are vastly different from the events in the films. For example, in the comics, Captain America is currently an agent of Hydra and Sam Wilson bears Cap's shield... not exactly a smooth on-ramp for new readers coming out of the Captain America: Civil War movie.
Flip the mirror around and one could make a similar case against the films failing to engage the core comic readers with versions of Marvel and DC heroes and villains who look and sound like the source comic's versions. We all know what happened with the latest Fantastic Four debacle. Fortunately,...

You’ll have to wait until the release of Avengers: Infinity War before catching another glimpse of Bucky Barnes on the big screen.
At least, that’s according to Sebastian Stan, who spoke to Good Morning America (via Cbm) about his immediate future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and why it doesn’t include Black Panther. Joined by McU stalwart Anthony Mackie, who is poised to reprise the role of Sam Wilson (Aka Falcon) for Infinity War, Stan went on record to confirm that the Winter Soldier has zero screen time in Ryan Coogler’s standalone pic. And that’s despite Barnes being granted asylum in Wakanda at the tail-end of Captain America: Civil War.

Now that Peter Parker is firmly part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, lots of crossover opportunities are expected to be the norm. Actually, he dove into the deep end quicker than most characters given that he made his debut in Captain America: Civil War. Plus, there’s also the fact that Iron Man is set to play a key role in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Still, it doesn’t hurt to think about what lies ahead, especially since Marvel Studios plans out their movie slates far ahead of release. Now, we do know to expect other characters following in the footsteps of Tony Stark when it comes to being guests in future Spidey films, but beyond that, it’s all speculation at this point.
One who seems naturally fitted for such a role is that of Nick Fury, who came incredibly close to appearing in Homecoming before the creative minds ruled in favor of Iron Man.

What remained a mystery, though, was who would be tasked with ushering 53 ambitious titles into the next era. Well, fortunately for we the readers, the House of Ideas has divulged some of the first names to be crafting the highly anticipated titles.

For some time now, we’ve been talking about the Marvel Legacy one-shot slated to arrive in comic shops this September and understandably so. Spanning fifty pages, this oversized issue set to be written by Jason Aaron (Mighty Thor) and illustrated by Esad Ribic (Secret Wars) should not only make for a definitive read, but will also set the tone for the next year of story arcs planned by the House of Ideas.
One aspect about this standalone tale that caught our attention is that it’ll reveal the group that essentially served as the first Avengers, whom existed back in 1,000,000 B.C., to be exact. While it’s currently unknown if they’ll come across anyone resembling Raquel Welch, Marvel was willing to pass along that 53 books will spin out of this.

Since Secret Empire has kicked off this series has worked as a type of therapy for the character of Sam Wilson. It is a place where he can work through his frustration and express his feelings over the insanity that has plagued him for some time. As a major event tie-in it does not add much to the overarching story. Instead it adds some character texture to the major elements going on in the main title.
What is unclear is where exactly in the Secret Empire timeline this fits in. As Sam Wilson: Captain America #23 appears to take place both before, after, and during the third installment in that series. Those who prefer their timelines to line up perfectly would surely become frustrated if they ever tried to fully plot out this story, which is typically the case for event storytelling.

There have been so many changes to comic book characters over the last few years. Jane Foster became Thor. Doctor Doom and Riri Williams became Iron Man. Sam Wilson became Captain America. It all has been leading to a new phase Marvel Comics is introducing called Marvel Legacy. Uniting the classic identities of characters with the new identities. Well, they've done it again, but in a very different way.
Although nothing in the comics has shown how or why, it seems the Punisher is going become the new War Machine. To be honest, it's not too far of a stretch, but it's definitely a unique direction. The Punisher has always been a vigilante killer who just straight up murderizes people who do bad things. He has guns and a van, but no powers or anything else relatively super. To now give him a suit of technological armor, definitely, makes him a much bigger threat.

If you’ve been keeping up with the recent happenings at Marvel, then you’re well aware of Generations, an upcoming endeavor consisting of ten one-shots uniting heroes who have adopted various mantles, both past and present. In other words, expect to see team-ups featuring the likes of Wolverines Laura Kinney and Logan, and even Thors Odinson and Jane Foster.
What’s more is that we recently discovered this seemingly standalone tale will, in fact, have some sort of intertwining with Secret Empire, the House of Ideas’ currently in progress major crossover event. Sure, we probably won’t know all of the specifics until the actual periodicals ship, but it remains clear that something called “the Vanishing Point” is the reasoning for these otherwise anachronistic team-ups.
One thing’s for certain: this isn’t the Vanishing Point we’ve come to know from DC Comics, but it does sound similar...

Not only was he just wearing the stars and stripes, his closest friend is now betraying everyone he once stood for. Spencer has been chipping away at the life of Wilson and now with Secret Empire he executed his final blow.
Here we see how Wilson has been surviving in a country ruled by Hydra. One of the more intriguing aspects is how, in a way, Wilson has found the place in the world he has long be searching for. Now out of the public eye he can disregard the need to worry about his public persona...

If anything, two of the things Marvel Studios have long excelled at have been plotting out their film slate far in advance and introducing a wide array of characters to moviegoers, effectively making their pantheon of superheroes household names – even those who were previously B-listers. Granted, everyone knows the names of Captain America and the Hulk, but the average man on the street probably would’ve thought you were referring to a certain Black Sabbath song if you said the words “Iron Man” before 2008.
Since then, the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange have proven to be surprise hits, with Black Panther starting to build a considerable amount of hype now as well ahead of its release next year. While we wait for the film’s first teaser trailer heralding T’Challa’s solo debut on the silver screen to arrive, we now have a few nuggets...

For some time now, Captain America has been split into two titles – Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson – each chronicling the respective journeys of two men taking up star-spangled shields, with the former being a secret Hydra agent and the latter being a bit more heroic.
Well, as of this August, Marvel will seemingly be paring down to one Cap title. The big mystery, however, is which man will remain the focus. Truth be told, we’re betting it’s Steve Rogers considering that a patriotic version of him stands proudly at the front of promo art for this fall’s Marvel Legacy one-shot, but I digress.
The official solicit for Captain America #25 is actually quite vague and doesn’t help matters, but here it is anyway:

This review is based off a volume that collects Captain America: Sam Wilson #14-17 and Captain America (1968) #344.
If you’re an avid reader of comic books, you’re no doubt well aware that the past decade has seen its share of younger heroes stepping up to claim the mantle of their mentors, sometimes to the chagrin of staunch purists. Marvel has especially championed this method of storytelling in recent years, with Captain America: Sam Wilson being a prime example.
To be honest, I actually find stuff like this to be very appealing, but mostly when it occurs organically and fits well with the established mythos of the relevant hero. Past examples include Dick Grayson becoming Batman and Bucky Barnes becoming Captain America. Having mentioned the latter, you could argue this as having been done before, but at least it makes sense that Sam be worthy of wielding the shield as opposed to,...

That thought of a 9-year old girl being intimidated by her local comic shop has not left my mind, kiddos.
I said what I could on the subject just a few weeks ago. Beyond the local comic shop being the culprit for the stagnation we as fans feel for the specific love of the pulp and paper side of comic bookery, there’s a plethora of other barriers to entry. Little mountains that stand in the way for people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and level of declared geekery that make the journey to our shores feel not unlike the one those halflings took from their little town, to that live volcano. And much like that epic, the damned eagles were there all along if anyone would have thought to ask for a quicker trip.

What we do know is that different versions of your favorite heroes will be fighting side by side, namely duos such as Wolverines Logan and X-23, and Thors Odinson and Jane Foster. But what we don’t know is how these characters are able to join forces or what the overall threat will be.
And despite it being quite vague and spoiler free, perhaps you’ll appreciate this synopsis by way of Marvel themselves:

Who he is: The Falcon, a.k.a. Sam Wilson
His power: Thanks to his time as a pararescueman in the U.S. military, Sam Wilson was trained in the use of an extremely rare winged jetpack called the Exo-7, which he can use to fly during combat situations. No superpowers, but extreme physical strength and agility.
His story: As revealed in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Wilson retired from the military after the death of his friend, instead joining the Department Of Veterans Affairs to help others suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. After befriending Steve Rogers during a workout, Wilson finds Rogers and Natasha Romanoff turning to him for help after they’re disavowed by the U.S. government, thanks to the infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hydra agents. He breaks his wings out of Fort Meade and helps the pair take down Hydra, after...

Although we gave you a look inside the special zero issue not long ago, many of you probably wondered when you’d get the same treatment for Secret Empire #1. Well, that day is today, as we can now present more information pertaining to what will undoubtedly be Marvel’s biggest crossover event for the year 2017.
Our first treat to offer is that of the trailer the publisher itself has put together in order to help spread the word. In it, series writer Nick Spencer and Tom Brevoort, Svp of Publishing, hype the event. Among the many interesting things to be found here are the former divulging that this grandiose tale was actually part of his first pitch for Captain America: Sam Wilson. Although the House of Ideas has certainly been no stranger to event books in the past decade or so, it’s quite refreshing to hear that they...

Saying a lot happened in the world of comics this past week is a gross understatement. Between MoCCA Fest in the east, WonderCon in the west, the poor performance of the Ghost In The Shell live action remake, and the reports coming out of the Marvel Retailer Summit, I could have column fodder well into May. I’ll try to touch on a few of the points that are important to me.
For starters, I wasn’t at WonderCon, but you should read about it here.
Let’s start with MoCCA then. I wrote about MoCCA last year as well. For those not in the know, MoCCA stands for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. It’s a festival that’s been going on here for the past fifteen years, celebrating the indie side of comics as well as illustration, fine art, and creative innovation.

Fancy seeing Falcon and Daredevil hanging out? Don't hold your breath, Anthony Mackie suggests...
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a big place, and it's getting bigger all the time. You've got the solo movies that started with Iron Man, the cinematic team-ups that began with The Avengers, the TV shows that started with Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Netflix series that kicked off with Daredevil.
Fans have long been hoping that these worlds could properly collide, with a crossover between the big screen Avengers, the small screen Defenders (Charlie Cox's Daredevil, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, Mike Colter's Luke Cage and Finn Jones' Iron Fist), and perhaps even some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, being a popular dream.

I think many of us can agree that Blade has been sitting on the bench for far too long. Not only did the vampire hunter prove that R-rated comic book movies could earn serious dough at the box office, but he also managed to beat the likes of X-Men and Spider-Man to the punch when it came to big screen Marvel adaptations that could be taken seriously.
But after Blade: Trinity debuted to mixed reactions back in 2004, the character has yet to headline any other cinematic outings, instead being relegated to television, first in a live action series on Spike that folded after only one season and then in an anime on G4. Although the latter seemed to resonate more with fans, there are those of us who are eagerly awaiting a film franchise reboot.

Marvel has been teasing the return of their legacy heroes for some time now, and while we have no idea what exactly the Marvel Universe will look like following the events of Secret Empire, it appears as if Sam Wilson will no longer be wielding the shield as Captain America. Instead, he looks set to return to being the Falcon during the event, something which is evident from the images in the gallery above.
In the first photo, the hero can be seen alongside Mockingbird, Quicksilver, Hercules, Iron Man and Ant-Man on the cover of Jeremy Whitley and artist Eric Koba’s Secret Empire: Underground. The second one, meanwhile, is the cover of May 31st’s Captain America: Sam Wilson #22. On both, Sam is suited up as the Falcon rather than as Captain America,...

From what we can tell, Marvel will really be heating up things this summer. In an effort to supplement the main narrative to be offered in the crossover event known as Secret Empire, the publisher will release a few one-shots in June – two of which we’ve already learned to be Secret Empire: Uprising and Secret Empire: United – the former of which is set to feature a Black Widow who is rounding up a young generation of heroes to join the fight, with the latter focused on Emma Frost and the X-Men standing their ground against the forces of Hydra.
Now we’ve learned that a third one-shot is set to drop that’s a little crazier than its sister stories. Written by Jeremy Whitley and illustrated by Eric Koda, Secret Empire: Underground will see another strong female take the lead in the form of Bobbi Morse. In short, Mockingbird...

Ever since Marvel pulled back the curtain on its next major crossover event, Secret Empire, the hype train has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down. Not only do readers have a Free Comic Book Day sampler to look forward to this May, but also the first round of tie-ins set to broaden the experience.
Not surprisingly, Captain America: Steve Rogers #17 is set to take part in the festivities. Aside from Rogers looking a bit fascistic in some Hydra threads, Marvel hasn’t given us much to go on. It’s understandable that they keep their cards close to their vest as none of us have read a single page from anything to be included in this event, but here’s the official solicit anyway:

From what we can tell, Marvel is certainly taking the upcoming Secret Empire crossover event seriously. In addition to a zero issue and a Free Comic Book Day offering being on the way, readers will soon have their chance to play catch up and see how the Marvel Universe got to this point.
In short, the Secret Empire Prelude trade paperback will collect various key stories published recently that one would consider to be required reading before witnessing Steve Rogers put his plans into action, specifically Captain America (2012) #21 & #25; material from Captain America: Sam Wilson #7 & #8; Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha, Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega and Captain America: Steve Rogers #1 & #2.
Not surprisingly, the House of Ideas have opted to use the most eye catching of pieces possible in order to serve as cover art: The now infamous, internet-breaking image of Captain America saying the words “Hail Hydra.

Before highly anticipated new series such as Luke Cage launch this spring, Marvel has a few other titles kicking off, namely America. Focusing on America Chavez, this title is set to have writer Gabby Rivera (Juliet Takes a Breath) and artist Joe Quinones (Howard the Duck) at the helm, so those who love the current rising crop of young heroes developed by this publisher will definitely want to take notice.
Given the progress Chavez has made serving as the current iteration of Miss America, devoted readers will probably say it’s the right time for the character to be granted a headlining gig. And seeing as how she’s been aligned with groups such as A-Force (an all-female version of the Avengers) and, more recently, the Ultimates (a nod to an alternate universe’s version of, again,...

Different people want different things from their comic books. Some want character-driven tales that flesh out the hero behind the cape. Others want intelligent stories that examine the role of superheroes in our world. Others, however, are never happier than when reading about super-powered people punching things. If you’re a member of this last category, then you’ll wholeheartedly love Marvel’s latest action-packed crossover event Monsters Unleashed.
Following on from the explosive opening issue, the heroes of the Marvel universe – including the Avengers, the X-Men, the Inhumans, the Guardians of the Galaxy and more – have united to stop a new terrible threat to earth: a meteor storm which is depositing kaiju-sized monsters that are tearing through the planet. Even with the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes combined, it’s a near-impossible situation to control.

Legacy heroes seem to be all the rage at Marvel these days. From Sam Wilson now wielding the shield as Captain America to Jane Foster swinging Mjolnir as Thor to Nadia Pym claiming her birthright as the Unstoppable Wasp, new ground is consistently broken at the House of Ideas. Heck, all three of those characters can currently be found over in the new Avengers series.
Keeping the focus on the young Pym, her new series is being helmed by writer Jeremy Whitley, who’s joined by up and coming artist Elsa Charretier. Early impressions say this team is a good fit for the characters as the visual style alone is crisp, vibrant, and highly inviting to new readers. In short, it looks like a lot of fun.

With a new volume of Avengers now in full swing, it’s quite obvious that we’re dealing with a very different beast from the team seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Collecting fan favorites such as Spider-Man and Vision, the team is rounded out by Hercules and some heroes who recently stepped up to claim iconic mantles such as Captain America/Sam Wilson, Thor/Jane Foster, and Wasp/Nadia Pym. But we wouldn’t rule out a return to a more traditional lineup by the time Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters in May of 2018.
The latest story arc plays on the classic trope of taking out a despot as a baby in order to avert future atrocities. In this case, that involved kidnapping the classic villain Kang while he was still an infant, which unfortunately but not unexpectedly, opened a can of paradoxical worms.

This week, we’re going to talk about identity politics and geek culture. One of the themes (or, perhaps, lessons learned) of this political season was about people who feel left out. These are the folks who aren’t really climate change deniers and certainly most aren’t bigots. But they are folks who feel like no one who is talking to them, listening to them or speaking up for them.
Clearly, some bristled when women and minorities jostled past them to assume positions of power and responsibility in their workplaces and communities. They might have big hearts and a welcoming mindset when they meet new people who don’t look like them or act like them… but they get a bit resentful and preoccupied with cultural differences. It’s the little things, like when they notice there are so many with kids “strange sounding” names in their grandson’s 2nd grade class.

In the old days of comics, and for me that was the 70s, the general nerd mindset was that you’d have to identify yourself as either a Marvel or a DC fan. And then read as many comics as possible from that publisher. You’d jump right in, find your favorite series and start reading the new issues while at the same time, working to complete your collection of the old back issues. In this way, the thinking went, you’d immerse yourself in the shared universe of each publisher.
I was reminded of this as I recently came across a 1976 price guide from Robert Bell. He was one of the big back issue dealers back then – you’ve probably seen his ads in old comics. This pamphlet gave the prices for all the current (what we’d today call Silver Age and Bronze Age) Marvel comics. The unstated,...

The Defenders will appear on Netflix next year, a culmination of the individual series that Marvel and Netflix have produced, such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. When the show was first announced, I was not aware of the comic the show was based on. So This Week in Marvel Unlimited, I'm diving into The Defenders.
Starting off, The Defenders as they are assembled in the comics are different. You start off with The Hulk, Namor, and good ol' Doctor Strange. That in my opinion is not the ideal team you want to start a series off with. While I am excited for the Doctor Strange movie, the character in the comics has never been one I've been a fan of. Maybe that will change but the few times I've read a Doctor Strange comic, I've been bored to tears. Especially with the earlier depictions of the character,...

I started writing a weekly column here at ComicMix a year ago today. The past year I’ve given my thoughts on a number of issues focusing in particular on diversity in comics. Those issues have often involved Lgbtq representation. I’m going use this column to highlight some of the topics I’ve covered, see if anything has changed or if any predictions I had made turned out to be true and maybe add in an anecdote or two.
The second column I wrote for ComicMix was about Coagula, DC Comics first and only trans superhero. A lot has happened this past year as far as Coagula is concerned. She went from being an obscure character created by Rachel Pollack from a still uncollected run of Doom Patrol, a long cancelled series with seemingly little hope of being brought back as a monthly comic to being the flagship title...

This Friday, Netflix debuts the new show from Marvel, Luke Cage. With that, I wanted to check out the origin of the character. He’d always been someone who fascinated me but his origins were always clouded in a bit of a mystery. He wasn’t exactly a character on the level of Spider-Man that would constantly get the origin story retold.
We can thank the creation of Luke Cage on a little phenomenon called Blaxploitation films. Take a movie like Shaft. It showed Hollywood that one, there was a market for films directed at African American audiences and two, it was one of the first times we had African Americans of any sort starring in films where they were the strong, dominant leads.

Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson first met in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and they've remained firm friends ever since. However, could we one day see The Falcon take over the mantle of Captain America? That's something we've already seen take place in the comic books of course, and there are actually a lot of fans who would like the same thing to ultimately happen on the big screen as well. Now, a new piece of fan-art from Instagram's @aikoaiham offers up an idea of what that might look like. Regardless of whether or not you're on board with the idea, there's no denying that Mackie looks pretty cool taking flight as Captain America and there's at least a chance we'll end up seeing this in a movie somewhere down the line depending on how long Chris Evans sticks around.

In the wake of the game-changing events seen in Captain America: Civil War, many fans have wondered what the status of the titular character’s onscreen mantle may be. Was his dropping of the iconic shield simply done in the heat of the moment or was it a bold statement?
Apparently, the folks at Huffington Post also had that burning question on their mind and asked directors Joe and Anthony Russo just what exactly is going on with Steve Rogers.
Joe had the following to say:
“I think him dropping that shield is him letting go of that identity. [It’s] him admitting that certainly the identity of Captain America was in conflict with the very personal choice that he was making.”
Now, the character of Steve Rogers has adopted several other personas over his 75 year history such as Nomad (which I highly doubt will ever be adapted to screen) and Steve Rogers...

This Week in Marvel Unlimited, I had a whole reading list planned. I was diving into the world of Howard the Duck. Then I saw this.
8/8/1961 was the debut of the first issue of Fantastic Four, starting what became the Marvel Universe. (According to Tom Brevoort from Marvel, the date listed on the comics at that time were an indication to newsstand owners when to take the issue in question off newsstands. The comics were delivered three months before, hence the August debut.) The fact this wasn’t a big deal is a little sad but anyone with a cursory knowledge of the Marvel movie rights knows why.
I won’t claim to be a big Fantastic Four fan yet to deny their impact would be foolish. Without them, there would be no Spider-Men, no Hulk, no Iron Man, no X-Men. The work on Fantastic Four brought us the amazing...

We’ve been obsessing over the wrong Captain America stuff.
Last month, both Geek Culture and the “world at large” (they aren’t as different anymore, are they?) were outraged that Captain America, in the debut issue of his latest series, was revealed to be an evil Hydra operative. Marvel, to their credit, played it all with a straight face. Some devotees seemed eager, unlike The Who, to “get fooled again.” Fists were clenched and keyboards were angrily pounded as indignant fans expressed their extreme displeasure at the “bad guy treatment” given to a favorite fictional hero.
The Hail Hydra shocker inspired a kazillion hilarious parodies, too.
But in the second issue of this new series, Marvel revealed it was all an insidious brainwashing trick. “Oh, never mind,” sighed most outraged fans. However, some outraged fans broke into a victory dance, assuming that Marvel caved to their wishes and changed...

On top of all the new releases this week in Marvel Unlimited, including the final issue of Secret Wars, I wanted to re-read a few issues of one of my favorite comics “Ms. Marvel”. Set in New Jersey, it details the rise of one Kamala Khan, bringing her from your average teenager dealing with all the pressures of being a young woman to, thanks to a cloud of Terrigan Mist, taking over the mantle of Ms. Marvel from Carol Danvers.
I fell in love with this comic from page one. Much like how Stan Lee presented Peter Parker in Amazing Fantasy #15 all those years ago, G. Willow Wilson and company present a character that anyone can relate to. She’s awkward, dealing with the feelings young kids get when they first realize others can be attractive. She has family that she feels is overbearing but she loves them nonetheless. She...
