HBO’s hit fantasy epic “Game of Thrones” returned Friday to Hall H at Comic-Con International in San Diego with a little less star power than usual, and virtually no information about what’s in store for next season.

  The sixth season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” ended in way that left fans rabid for the next one.

Netflix Defenders Lineup Marvel Trailers

Walt

Marvel Civil War II #3 Review

Walt

I loved Mark Millar’s Civil War series in 2006–2007 with art by Steven McNiven. It had everything you would want in a cross over superhero comic extravaganza.

The act arose due to public pressure for accountability following a series of superhuman-related events causing significant damage and death within the Marvel universe. Tony Stark, the superhero Iron Man, who had…
