Marvel Superheroes
Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic and Comic Universe, exploring all things superhero and villain. Excelsior!
The Colors of The X-Men
Okay so let's say you, a new comic reader, want to buy an X-men comic from the comic book store. Sounds easy enough right? Yeah, you're wrong. Once you walk in and see the individual X-men issues, you'll probably see titles like Weapon X, X-Men Blue, X-Men Gold, X-Men Red, Uncanny X-Men and trust me, a ton more.

Why Are Comic Fans Angry?
If you are familiar with the comic book community, you may have noticed that people tend to get angry about changes within the respective comic universes that they invest their time in. Sure, every industry has its haters, but it seems that though certain concepts have been met with backlash when introduced into the superhero story through all of comic history, it seems that it happens more so nowadays. Well, let's delve into comic history then, or at least what I know about comic history to try and figure out what the whole deal is. In this release, we will (I guess I will) discuss examples of significant comic book changes and the effect that it has had on the comic-reading community.

Thor’s Magic Belt: Stormbreaker Might Not Just Be the Only Weapon to Look out for in 'Avengers 4'
Although Thor: Ragnarok did mock Thor for recognizing himself as the strongest Avenger, Avengers: Infinity War removed all doubts as to his capabilities. One might even consider the God of Thunder as the strongest indeed yet (We know Captain Marvel is a strong contender).

Why Didn’t Captain Marvel Make an Entrance Sooner in the MCU And Have to Wait for Nick Fury’s Message?
Avengers: Infinity War was heaven for all comic book fans out there, featuring the most awaited clash between our favorite superheroes and the Mad Titan. Thanos has been dying to make an entrance since making the first peek-a-boo in the post credit scene of Avengers (2012). He was definitely influential and has been long tagged as the "villain with a heart." With the Infinity Stones, the team-ups, Black Order and so much more, this 2 hours and 36 minutes long film was the best Marvel movie to date. And if that wasn’t enough, the post-credit scene took everyone’s last breath away.

You're Always Welcome
Clang! The sound of steel meeting steel was deafening. All around her, Asgardians and Wolves alike were falling. She struck down another invader, yanking her curved swords from its chest. It gurgled and spat its blood in her face before falling dead before her.

Better Than the Avengers
The Avengers are known worldwide thanks to Marvel's Cinematic Universe. The superhero team has had a plethora of heroes join its ranks (and leave the team too) in the comics to battle threats that endanger the world or even the entire universe. However, legendary comic writer Mark Waid, co-author of DC's famous storyline, Kingdom Come, brings details that are often overlooked by readers to light.

10 Fascinating MCU Characters Who NEED More Screen Time
One of the reasons the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been so successful is the large number of interesting, compelling characters found throughout the films. In this list, we will look at 10 MCU heroes and villains who we would love to see more of, characters whose fascinating personalities are still evolving. For the sake of space, we will not include major MCU characters who will obviously receive more attention and films of their own in the future, such as Doctor Strange and Spider-Man.

What's Next for the MCU After 'Infinity War?'
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS 4, AND SPOILERS FOR THE MCU IN GENERAL! Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of ten years of Marvel's cinematic universe which started all the way back in 2008 with Iron Man. The character of Thanos was first teased back in 2012 with the release of the original Avengers movie so Marvel and the directors of Infinity War, Joe and Anthony Russo, knew they had some big shoes to fill in terms of making a villain who had been teased for six years feel complex and like a genuine threat, something the MCU has struggled with in the past. If you've seen the movie, then you'll know that Thanos is undoubtedly one of, if not the best villain Marvel has brought to the big screen, with him collecting all six infinity stones and wiping out half of the universe by the end of the film. So, in this article, I will try to predict what we can expect from the MCU going forward as well as some things I would personally like to see happen in future movies, most notably Avengers 4.

King of the Green: 10 Actors Who Could Star in 'Swamp Thing'
DC Comics is launching an online streaming service in order to air their own exclusive content, and they have recently announced that a live-action Swamp Thing show will be a part of the line-up. Swamp Thing is one of the most popular characters in DC Comics lore, yet the role hasn't been executed correctly. I feel that I know a few actors who could not only be a good Swamp Thing, but a good Alec Holland as well, and I hope you agree with my list.

'Deadpool 2' and the Significance of "Take On Me" by a-ha
**THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR DEADPOOL 2** Last night I finally went to see Deadpool 2 and it was great, although many say it was not as good as the first one. In part I do have to agree, although I must admit it was nice to see some LGBT representation (and by the way, I’m not just talking about the hint dropping that goes on between Deadpool and Colossus; I’m talking about the very obvious line of “she’s my girlfriend” said by Negasonic about Yukio).
