comics

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

Great Comic Book Writers
Stan Lee This list of course begins with Stan Lee, who wasn't the first writer in comics, but he was one of the earliest, beginning his career with a small piece in "Captain America Comics" #3 in May, 1941, published before there even was a Marvel Comics. The company was called Timely Comics at the time, and Lee stayed there throughout his career, becoming Editor, Publisher, and Chairman Emeritus before his death in 2017. Lee's greatest legacy was co-creating the "Marvel Age of Comics" in the early 1960s, primarily with artist Jack Kirby, though the character who came to symbolize Marvel, Spider-Man, was co-created with artist Steve Ditko.

How Close Are We To Seeing The Young Avengers In Live-Action Format?
In this post-Endgame era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the main focus has been on legacy characters, people picking up where former Avengers left off. Sam Wilson graciously accepted the mantle of Captain America from Steve Rogers. Jennifer Walters is slowly stepping into her green cousin’s shoes as Earth’s newest Hulk. And Shuri took over as Black Panther in the wake of her brother’s demise. They’ll play integral roles as the planet’s protectors, but they’re not the only ones who will.

What’s in the Box?
What is in the box, exactly? In no particular order, it could very well be the following: Is it Gwyneth Paltrow’s head? A fair soon to be mother, whose life was cut short from an overzealous and envious man whose sole purpose was to expose the seven deadly sins.

The Frustrating Indirectness of the Black Panther Series
Black Panther was an iconic moment in pop culture, and that's because white supremacist society is quite racist. Organizations like the Disney company have historically been very regressive in their portrayals of human difference (i.e., anything that goes against white supremacist, colonialist patriarchy). In the words of writer Sydney Paige: "The fact that black people are represented not with stereotypes, but as the smartest, wealthiest, most advanced, and the absolute royalty [of the] most powerful society is groundbreaking and momentous."

Male v Female Gaze
Just like our other heroines in the MCU, Black Widow was the first to suffer from the male gaze. Her treatment was admittedly the worst, being the most sexualized and used specifically and solely for male enjoyment. Black Widow and her treatment is also easier to track due to her being the first female avenger and amount of appearances. From her start the writers and directors wanted audiences to see Natasha as nothing more than an object, and yet her loyal fans saw so much more.

8 Superhero Comics To Read If You’re Sick of Superhero Media
Maybe you’re jaded of the MCU enough to just know that a Squirrel Girl series on Disney+ is all but inevitable. Maybe you’ve just read Watchmen and are dying to read something else that's deconstructive/grown-up like that. Maybe you can’t wait for the next season of The Boys, but have discovered that the original comic (ironically) feels more like a tacky imitation of its adaptation.

Smallville
With about a thousand adaptations of Superman in existence there is always plenty of talk around the fans of DC about which is the best. The reality of the situation is that there are many good adaptations but none as good, or as thorough as Smallville. The 2001 live action series set the bar high for all superhero media to come and yet none have lived up to the incredible nature of Smallville.

In Loving Memory Of Jason David Frank
On this day 20th, November a great actor and man died they haven't given the cause of death. Some are assuming suicide. Jason David Frank for his role as the Green Range, White Ranger, Black Ranger, and in the works on YouTube for the Legend of the White Dragon. His many roles will always be simply Tommy Oliver to me.

Why The Thunderbolts Deserve Our Respect.
For MCU fans, the big name on everyone's mind is Kang The Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). They're desperate to learn how the megalomaniac villain factors in Quantumania, Kang Dynasty, and Secret Wars, eagerly awaiting every new clue that crops up. Teases thus far mirror the buildup to Thanos (Josh Brolin) in the Infinity Saga, showing how pivotal a character this villain will become. Kang, however, isn't the only Phase 5 antagonist worth acknowledging.

The Long History of Character Swiping in Comics
If you're a comics fan, or just the big and small screen adaptations, you've likely seen the preview images for the "Black Panther" sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," or you've seen the film. If you have, you've seen the widely discussed and semi-controversial reveal that Namor the Sub-Mariner, one of Marvel's first characters, is in the film. For some fans, this is a moment to celebrate. Wakanda is on the screen again, and Namor will be in a film for the first time. However, other fans are cringing. Why?
