From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.

The Beyonder
With all of the upcoming MCU events the introduction of cosmic heroes and villains is imminent, many Marvel fans forget the origins of these characters so let's take a look at the most likely characters to be introduced. First up, The Beyonder (a necessary player in the Secret Wars storyline).

The Young Avengers
Another MCU set-up that has finally become complete is the Young Avengers. Now they have many storylines to choose from but I think (very biasedly) that they should of course go with Children’s Crusade (because that would center on Wanda and I always think everything should center on Wanda). That said we did just talk about Secret Invasion and in a tie-in series the Young Avengers team up with the Runaways and are the first to respond to a Skrull Invasion in New York, so perhaps it will be very easy to get all these kids together.

Secret Wars
The next storyline that has been setup and confirmed in the MCU is Secret Wars. This storyline comes to the big screen from a 1980s comic book run and it is no wonder that this will be the final event of Phase 5 because in the comics it is a massive cosmic event with an astounding amount of crossover titles. With 32 issues worth of crossover across 10 different titles Secret Wars is one of the biggest Marvel comic book events to date as well as one of the most impactful. None of the major crossovers we have had since would have really happened without Secret Wars and it all came to pass because Mattel needed a massive event in order to justify the production of super-hero toys. The name Secret Wars was chosen because both wars tested positive in focus groups, after a few other things were decided based off of child responses the writers of Marvel then had to create a story around a toy line.

Adam Warlock
Our next cosmic entity worth discussing is Adam Warlock. A character we know for a fact that we will see in the MCU, upon our next journey with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Now he has already appeared in the MCU by all technicalities in the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie and it is confirmed that we will see more of him in this next outing.

In this discussion article, I will examine the abilities of both characters and explore who would likely win in a fight between Naruto and Spider-Man.

Why the Incredible Hulk Should Have Defeated Superman: A Look at the Battle of the Titans
The Incredible Hulk and Superman are two of the most iconic and powerful characters in the world of comic books. Both characters have been around for decades and have amassed a large following of fans. However, when it comes to a battle between the two, many argue that The Incredible Hulk should have been the victor. I will argue why The Incredible Hulk should have defeated Superman in the DC vs Marvel comic book series published in 1996, in a collaborative effort from the two largest and most respected comic book companies at the time.

Why I Started Watching Anime: My Journey into the World of Animation
When I was younger, I had never really been exposed to anime. Sure, I had seen a few episodes of Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! here and there, but I never really gave it a second thought. That all changed when I was in college and a friend introduced me to a show called Attack on Titan. I was immediately hooked.

The Audio Wars
VOX recently confirmed what we have all known for some time, audio in entertainment is becoming harder and harder to hear. Recently, when I was watching Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story amongst family, not ten minutes in to the movie were people clamouring for the subtitles to be switched on. Why is this?

Harley Quinn: Breaking Free from Toxic Relationships and Narcissistic Villains
I. Introduction As a fan of all things DC, I was pretty excited when I heard about the new Harley Quinn animated series. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Harley is one of the most iconic and beloved characters in the DC Universe, and the idea of getting to see her in a new and fully-realized animated series was just too good to pass up.

Defending Bella Reál in The Batman
The Batman is a film about one of our most beloved comic book characters fighting crime and trying to unravel the mystery of The Riddler in his killings of corrupt officials. That is one way to summarize the film, and it sounds rather plain on the surface, nothing remotely controversial. No thanks to the modern age of hyper-partisanship, critics have decided to read politically into the film. Although not at the forefront of it, one who gets an unfair shake-up is the character of Bella Reál, played by Jayme Lawson. Hence, let's defend Gotham City's new mayor.
