Diamond Select Rogue and Gambit PVC dioramas review

Growing up, I loved watching X-Men cartoons. I wore out my VHS copy of Pryde of the X-Men, which to this day has one of the greatest cartoon theme songs ever written: Classic. That was only a single episode (and great arcade game), though, so for several years the X-Men animated series that debuted in

Gentle Giant and Diamond Select Marvel animated-style statues review

X-Men. Marvel’s Merry Mutants. The Avengers. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Two of the most widely recognized superhero teams in all of fiction, and with good reason.

Diamond Select San Diego exclusive Nightcrawler and Miles Morales Spider-Man figures review

Ahh, San Diego. One of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to, with its amazing architecture, wonderful restaurants, and comfortable seaside climate.

Some small thoughts on “Giant-Size X-Men: Nightcrawler” #1

What I like best about the new age of X-Men comics, I think, is that every book that is put out feels like it has a purpose. More than that, each book that’s part of the Dawn of X line feels like it stands apart from the others, with different tones, missions, themes, and teams

What’s good? Make Mine (mostly) Marvel with The Immortal Hulk, Venom, Fallen Angels, and Batman

Lots of new comics come out every week, but we don’t always have time to write full, in-depth reviews about them. These are some recent standouts. The Immortal Hulk #29 The main virtue of The Immortal Hulk is its exploration of Bruce Banner’s psyche. It’s a true horror comic, with a literal beast living inside
