ADAM WARLOCK, NATHAN FILLION Both Cut From GUARDIANS

Media Release

It seems as though a pair of fan favorites may have been cut out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, as first Nathan Fillion, reported to be featured in a cameo as Simon Williams, posted a photo on Instagram possibly insinuating a scene with him will not make the final cut of the film. However given the wording of Fillion’s post, this could be a joke on his part and does, in a round-about way, confirm he was on-set and in costume for an unconfirmed role in the film.…

Where are the Fantastic Four?

Walt

The Fantastic Four #1 (cover dated Nov. 1961), helped to usher in a new level of realism in the comic medium.

Why Are Marvel Comic Sales Down?

Walt

Recently I have been monitoring the message boards and blogs about the drop in sales of comics in general and especially Marvel sales. Many people blame the drop in Marvel sales is because of the direction they are going by abandoning the classic characters and becoming more diverse in story telling. The classic Marvel heroes have been primarily white and not of color, so their efforts are to introduce more people of color like Miles Morales (Spider-Man) and Riri Williams (Ironman). While that may have been the perception in modern…
