Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic and Comic Universe, exploring all things superhero and villain. Excelsior!
Review: 'Cosmic Ghost Rider #1'
Donny Cates has been on a roll recently. Since he started writing for Marvel Comics he’s worked on and finished Thanos, Doctor Strange, and Doctor Strange: Damnation, and currently writing Venom, Death of the Inhumans, and the subject of this review, Cosmic Ghost Rider, all of which have proven massively popular with fans so far. His short but sweet run on Thanos gave us the instantly classic Thanos Wins story, in which the titular character is whisked eons into the future by his older self in order to kill the last remaining opposition to his rule and finally allow him to be with Lady Death, his one true love. One of the most intriguing additions to the Marvel Universe that Cates gave us was the Cosmic Ghost Rider, a former servant of Mephisto, herald of Galactus, and now Black Right Hand of Thanos. Fans found the Cosmic Ghost Rider endearing due to his insane personality and the fact that he’s not Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch, or Robbie Reyes, but Frank Castle, the vigilante formerly known as The Punisher.

'Avengers: Infinity War' Things Missed (Spoilers!). Top Story - July 2018.
Avengers: Infinity War is the 19th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the third installment of the Avengers saga. Classically, the films in this universe have been filled with Easter eggs that link to the comics, the other films in the franchise, and life outside of the films. For example, at the start of Infinity War, the “IO” in the Marvel Studios logo has been changed to a ten to mark the tenth year of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the first Iron Man being released on the 2nd of May, 2008.

Top 10 Properties That Marvel Can Turn into Great Franchises
Marvel is nearing the end of their current era of films, with many of their current stars nearing the end of their contracts and other franchises, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, ending. Because of that, I’ve put together a list of the ten properties that Marvel could certainly turn into bankable franchises. I’ve excluded characters and teams associated with the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, since we’re pretty much guaranteed to get those movies now that the Fox/Disney merger has been approved by the US Department of Justice.

Where Marvel Went Wrong with Their Small-Screen Universe
As many (or all) of us know, Marvel kickstarted its Cinematic Universe in 2008 with Iron Man. Since then, Marvel Studios has produced hit after hit, with a handful of films in the $1 billion earnings platform, and with Avengers: Infinity War hitting over $2 billion recently. In 2012, after the success of their first Avengers movie, they announced they would be creating a small-screen universe that would be connected to the films. Fans were very excited, and rightly so. A successful film studio combined with successful television shows could spell out complete dominance by Marvel.

Something Is Wrong With the Venom Symbiote
We're going to be jumping into Marvel's new Venom solo title. The two issues that have been released are fairly good, and they take Venom in a new direction. So what we are going to be focusing on today is a very brief history of Eddie Brock and the Venom Symbiote, and what has happened in the first two issues of this title so far. So a spoiler warning right here if you want to read it.

10 Strangest Offshoots of Humanity in the Marvel Universe
Marvel Comic’s universe is full of strange and even uncanny people, places, powers and cosmic beings. Over seventy years of history and innovation have made the world that started in the late 1930s a complicated place. Humanity, as the comics’ prime focus, is perhaps one of the stranger elements, ironically. According to the Marvel database, humans could evolve into super-powered gods and for that reason, alone aliens are wary of Planet Earth. Despite the idea that this will occur in the far future, there are already a large number of divergent superhuman groups that have evolved away from Homo Sapiens to become something else. I’d like to take you on a whistle-stop tour of these many and varied evolutionary offshoots and some of their inspirations. Join me now as I take you on a journey through Ten Strange Offshoots of Humanity in the Marvel Universe!

'Deadpool 2' Lacks Humor Level of the First, but Remains an Exciting Superhero Movie
I have to say, Deadpool is one of Marvel's best movies. It can successfully make fun of all of Marvel's clichés, and in addition to the typical superhero story, it manages to be pretty funny and have a few fourth-wall breaks as well.

Magneto's Origin Story
I'm not even going to get into the actual story I'm going to talk about because I want you to read it that badly without having anything spoiled. It is most definitely a story that is worth the time to read. I mean seriously it's a great story with great art. I mean look at the picture above, the core art isn't like that, but tons of time and effort were put into this story and that's what makes it good. This is probably one of my favorite storylines I have ever read. Anyways, lets get to the content.

Not Only Peter Parker Got Bit
Okay, so I said that I was thinking about doing a post that was not this. I was thinking about doing a post on Kamala Khan's Family or a new DC character named Sideways, but I'd thought I'd promote lesser known and more underrated characters that I thought should be brought to people's attention. And this character is called...Silk!

Kamala Khan: The Rundown
Alright, so I'm getting into the original Ms. Marvel run by G. Willow Wilson. And what I am going to be talking about with respect to the character is her origin, her importance in the main Marvel Universe, and her importance in the comic book industry.

Out of 10: 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'
Second of the Captain America Films—or last if you count Civil War as Avengers 3...or Iron man 4. That comment wasn’t even funny the first time, apologies. Cap, Black Widow, and allies react to the compromising of SHIELD, though it takes about two hours for that plot to surface. JOKING!
