Where Are All the Infinity Stones?
The MCU has been building up to this moment over 10 years ago. With the first ever glimpse into Thanos, we knew that the Infinity Wars weren't far behind. But 10 years is a long time and in that, we might have forgotten where these stones ended up. We have been teased with the threat of Thanos as the puppet master of all things that go bump in the MCU. Recently we have seen five out of the six stones. They have been introduced in Avengers, Thor 1 and 2,Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Dr. Strange. But how much do we know about these stones? What power do they all possess? Who is guarding the stones? Infinity Wars was released in July 1991 and was written by Jim Starlin with George Perez and Ron Lim providing the artwork. George Perez was commissioned to pencil six issues in this new series. At the time, Perez was dealing with a large amount of stress steaming from a previous project working on DC's Wonder Woman series entitled War of the Gods. The large amounts of work, out a great deal of stress on the shoulders of Perez and was unable to finish Infinity Wars. Ron Lim was then assigned to finish the pencil work for the issues and there he remained the artist for the entire run of the series. The six issue story was broken into two miniseries, Infinity War and Infinity Crusade. This miniseries features many characters that make up the Marvel Universe. List of characters include:

Silver & Black Release Date Announced
Every time Sony makes an announcement regarding anything to do with Spider-Man or the associated characters, I find myself pondering this question. To be perfectly honest, it’s more like a ponderous drum beat thumping in the back of my head. It all began with the announcement of a Sinister Six movie way back in 2014 following the release of TheAmazing Spider-Man 2. It wasn’t so much the idea of a Sinister Six movie that rubbed me the wrong way, it was the idea of having a movie devoted to Spider-Man's rogues' gallery without the inclusion of the wall crawler himself. It just didn’t make any sense. Then there was the announcement of an Aunt May solo film, and the jaws of Spider-Man fans the world over collectively dropped. I had to lie down for several minutes my head was thumping so hard that day. Then Sony was hacked and the world got to see for themselves the circus that went on behind the scenes. This left Sony and in particular Amy Pascal, I still don’t understand how this woman managed to avoid the firing squad, in a deeply embarrassing and precarious situation. From the ashes of catastrophe came a single spark of hope in the form of a deal with Marvel, which led to Spidey’s inclusion in Civil War. From the moment he arrived on the screen in that trailer, the fans knew that finally, we had the Spider-Man we had been praying for and we rejoiced.

The Forgotten and Undying Ones: Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom
One of the most widely loved Dr. Strange stories from the 80s is Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment in which Dr. Strange helps Dr. Doom free Momma Doom’s soul from Mephisto, the most commonly used devil of the Marvel universe (though in the Defenders comic, Doc had run ins with actual Satan (Maybe? It’s a confusing story)). Mike Mignola’s pre-Hellboy art (including his depiction of Hell) is the prime reason this is so beloved, but Roger Stern is one of the best Doc writers of the decade. Sometimes when you see lists of great Dr. Strange villains, it’ll include Dr. Doom and Mephisto which is a bit inaccurate (and a bit disrespectful to the magnificent deep bench of rogues that are solely Doc’s): Doc didn’t fight Mephisto all that often (Big M is a Silver Surfer villain far more than a Doc villain), and he had only a few fights with Doom here and there (no more so than the rest of the Marvel Universe) but this one story is so beloved, it alone pushes Mephisto and Doom way up the list.

Most Powerful Female Marvel Superheroes
As many people know Marvel has produced some violent superhero films throughout the years, such as Daredevil, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Punisher, and Deadpool. Other movies they produced include the infamous stories of Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, and many more. Over the years there have been women superheroes that stood out for their strength, unbelievable power, abilities, and determination. Many people will most likely recognize these women immediately because they have been etched into our brains as being the most powerful female Marvel Superheroes.
