DC Comics 101: Who are the New Gods? By Tim Beedle The New Gods are one of the most fascinating, imaginative and entertaining corners of the DC comic book universe.

They’re drawn from a complex world with science fiction and fantasy elements, and they’re proudly strange and unusual. And on top of all of this,…

From DC Comics News: Unfortunately, Gotham City Sirens is officially not going to happen. I really did want this movie to happen but there seems to be something else on the horizon. Last month Margot Robbie said that she was working on a new movie featuring Harley Quinn and her girlfriends that wasn’t Gotham City Sirens. Apparently, Warner Bros. is working on three movies that feature Harley Quinn, the most obvious being Suicide Squad 2, which I’m not sure how it will work considering The Joker broke her out. Anyways…

Or How Marvel Secretly Brought Professor X Back to Life… !!SPOILER ALERT!! Okay, let me say what a great way to bring a character back to life and in doing so getting rid of my least favorite X-universe character, created by Grant Morrison, Fantomex. He first appeared in New X-Men #128 published August 2002. In my mind, he has been pretty much been a throwaway rogue character. He is a little too much Gambit and not quite enough Wolverine to keep me interested. However because he is a Human, Mutant/Sentinel…

In Godfather 3 fashion I wanted to title this review “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.” The difference from episode 10 to episode 11 is simply night and Day. This episode breaths life back into the whole series for me and gets me so incredibly pumped up for what is to come next. It should be noted that the show seems to have an excellent writers room and this episode is no exception. This episode was written by one the co-executive producers of the…
