Top 10 'Calvin and Hobbes' Comics
There have been countless newspaper comic strips throughout the years. Some of culture's most influential properties have come from the morning comics, such as Garfield, The Far Side, and, the most famous of all, Peanuts. However, even Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and all of his friends pale in comparison to the greatest of all of these, Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Released between November 18, 1985, and December 31, 1995, the comic strip about a boy and his stuffed tiger had great characters, hilarious humor, thought-provoking messages, and an analysis of society that is still applicable today. Over twenty-six years since the last strip came out, it still holds up just as well now as it ever did. It holds up well enough that it is worth looking into the top ten Calvin and Hobbes comic strips.

Finding a New Home
An MCU movie releases and the rumours fly! We’ve heard two major things, 1) Tom is signed on for 3 more movies and immediately after that we heard 2) That Tom was stepping away from the role and taking a break. Now the more likely option is that he is in fact signed on for more movies, there is so much more that I would love to see from Tom’s spiderman and I think that No Way Home set him up perfectly for not only more character development but also bringing in more of the Spider-verse characters into the MCU. Tom has been pushing hard for either some of the Spider woman and/or Miles Morales, here's hoping that we see both!

They Did My Villains Dirty
**SPOILER ALERTS FOR "WONDER WOMAN 1984"** Look How They Massacred My Girl. Speaking of past sins coming back to hunt heroes, I’m going to take a stab at creating the version of Cheetah for “Wonder Woman 1984” that I would’ve been ecstatic to see, built around this very concept.

They Did My Villains Dirty
Important Note: None of the criticism here is meant for the actors, stuntmen, or choreographers who were just doing their best with what the script gave them. Even though I may not agree with the narrative choices the screenwriters have made, I understand that they face a lot of pressure from both studio executives and the general audience. I respect their art and I commend them for their efforts, successful or not.

Why Do I think DC Comics Should Make A Movie Out Of The Fictional Female Hero Vixen?
If you want to go up against someone with a wild but adventurous side there is always Vixen. Vixen is one of my top favorite characters from the DC universe overall and I think she deserves her own movie. Why? Well in regards to the African American society, she will be another black inspiration just like Black Panther. She has the looks and the brains and is someone who doesn't back down from a fight using her connections with the animals of her world. Vixen will be the first African female character to have her own movie based on the DC comics if this ever came to pass. Here is some background information...

Review: Deathstroke Inc.
SYNOPSIS *Spoilers* Black Canary and Deathstroke have had quite the tumultuous relationship. They've fought hand in hand and head to head throughout the years. Recently, they've both been employed on a super secret mission by an organization ironically called T.R.U.S.T. A lesson in life is that whenever someone emphasizes that they can be trusted, they are usually the most untrustworthy people. So, the name of the organization itself implies a fat, indigestible chunk of foreshadowing. Who are you trying to fool T.R.U.S.T.? ; Black Canary and Deathstroke, that's who. Not so smart.
