Marvel’s Phase Two has hit the ground running with the recent release of Iron Man 3, and whether you were a fan or not (we were), it’s exciting to see the next round of Marvel films begin. Phase Two takes us through the sequels of Phase One while introducing the Guardians of the Galaxy, a new team in [...]

- Originally written for the 5th issue of the print edition of Geek Magazine, this list has been posted on their official website. Every so often a really good show comes along and is somehow missed by the audience. What follows are 10 such ill-fated shows, and why it’s worth your time to seek them out [...]

Last week we took a look at 5 X-Men storylines that would make great movies, and one thing that stood out as the list was compiled was the number of amazing crossover stories that existed just with the X-Men universe. So now we’ll take a look at some great crossovers not limited to the X-Men [...]

Superhero movies have always drawn from the source material when constructing the big budget films. Aspects and characters may change in the translation, but the important pieces of the original storyline are generally always carried onto the big screen. Some of the more obvious examples are 2004′s The Punisher, which pulled heavily from Welcome Back, Frank by Garth Ennis [...]

Here in the Comic Box, we have been focusing primarily on exploring the history and storylines of Marvel characters. I personally have always been a fan of both companies, but when we are talking about confusing histories, DC characters win out over Marvel every time. We weren’t quite sure where to start with DC until the [...]

In keeping with a decades long tradition from the X-Men mythology, Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen will be introducing new costumes for the original class of X-Men in next week’s ‘All-New X-Men #9′. The tradition of X-Men earning new costumes once they have graduated from the initial class started with the original X-Men in [...]

We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of yet another Robin. After the events of Batman, Inc. #8, I had to take a moment to allow the death of Damian Wayne to sink in, which I instantly regretted. If you don’t know by now, the Robin legacy is probably my favorite part of [...]

As a die-hard fan of comics, I am constantly asked who my favorite character is, which I usually have to think about for a while. Any given day my answer may change, depending on my mood or what I’ve been reading lately, but the answer is usually pretty clear to me. Most days, my favorite hero is [...]

Over the next few weeks, Wednesday is going to be a bit heavy on Batman material, mainly because I am a little Bat crazy and I enjoy sharing that craziness with others. These segments will be the various Bats and Birds posts I have lined up, as well as a brand new Comic Box that will be the first [...]

The moment we have been working towards is finally here! This is the end of our look at some of the greatest comic book cartoons from our childhood. But is it really the end? In my opinion that’s always been the greatest thing about some of these great animated series is the pure rewatchability of [...]

True to form these days, as we are celebrating the greatest superhero cartoons, the hammer falls and the last two shows on the list that are still airing have been cancelled. Those are of course Green Lantern: The Animated Series, and an as yet unrevealed show on this list. It’s a running theme with good shows, [...]

Welcome back to the Weekly Comic Pull List! Let’s take a look at this week’s slate of upcoming issues, as well as a few of my picks for the week of Feb. 6th, 2013. All-New X-Men #7 The original class of X-Men is making some big waves in the modern Marvel U., brought to us by [...]

This is it. The finale. We have finally reached the end of the ridiculously long and needlessly overdone Clone Saga that plagued Spidey fans for years. There were some good times, don’t get me wrong. To this day Ben Reilly is still one of my favorite parts of the Spider-Man mythology, but the way the [...]

For those that are unaware/living under a rock, the Internet broke last week with the news that JJ Abrams will be directing Star Wars: Episode VII for Disney. I’m still feeling a little upset/happy over this news. I loved what Abrams has done with the Star Trek universe, so by all rights I should be really excited by the fact that [...]

Welcome back to the Weekly Comic Pull List! Let’s take a look at this week’s slate of upcoming issues, as well as a few of my picks for the week of Jan. 30, 2013. Avengers #4 I love that this series is biweekly, because it means we get more of Hickman’s amazing Avengers every month. As [...]

When compiling this list, I was faced with a good amount of cartoons that didn’t quite fit in to what I was going for, so I was forced to put on a few qualifiers for inclusion. The main extinction factor being the animated series had to be based off an existing comic book, so there [...]

Comic Box is back on time and on schedule, which is completely unlike the series we have been covering for the last few weeks. Yes, I could only be talking about the Clone Saga, which I’m sure you figured out since it’s in the title and everything. This is the penultimate chapter of our look at [...]

I’ve always been a big fan of cartoons. Any and all cartoons really, but like most of my passions in life, anything superhero related automatically took precedence. So it’s no surprise that I have been a huge fan of the various superhero animated series that have aired over the years on the various networks. Thankfully, [...]

Holy hiatus, Batman! I’m afraid over the past few weeks I have succumbed to the most common and repetitive ailment of all; Holiday Unproductive Syndrome followed with a severe case of lethargic plodding. Thankfully I have eaten my share of festive feasts and recovered from too many celebratory parties, and have returned to continue our [...]
