Comic Creators to Follow on Twitter
The advent of social media platforms like Twitter has made it easier for fanboys and girls to stay in touch with their favorite creators than ever before. This has been an incredible boon for comic fans since now they don’t have to wait for a con to ask their favorite writers and artists their burning questions. You no longer need to wait for an interview to hear what a creator is thinking in regards to just about anything. Twitter has become the sounding board for discussions on some of the biggest controversies to hit the industry. If you want to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s hot in the world of comics then there's no better place than Twitter and there’s no one more vocal about the state of the industry at large than the people working in the trenches.

Best Vampire Comics
Vampire stories are in our nature as a species. No matter what country or ethnicity a person may come from, their ancestors sat together and traded stories about supernatural beings with inhuman capabilities—some drank the blood of living creatures in order to live, while others could not stay in direct sunlight. Whatever the vampire of your country of origin may be, one thing is for certain—vampires have inspired a lot of comic books. Here are our favorite vampire comics and why we can’t get enough of them.

The Walking Dead’s Best Comic Book Characters
Adaptation from print to live action often results in changes. Sometimes those changes happen because elements in the source don’t translate well to the new, faster-paced medium. Other times, it’s a creative choice from the new creatives such as the screenwriters, directors, or the producers.

History of Deadpool
Captain America is as American as apple pie and hand guns. Captain America is the favorite superhero of every goody two-shoes out there. Yet for those that are a little more badass, Captain America is nothing compared to antihero Deadpool. Born as Wade Winston Wilson, he is a normal person with a highly dysfunctional family who was once a volunteer test subject of the Weapon X program. You might ask yourself, did he really volunteer? But, when you have cancer, and the government promised to give you a regenerative healing factor, then it must sound like a good idea. I mean, not to any sane person, but when you are wild and mentally unstable like Wade, sure. Deadpool's powers and personality traits combine to make him an unpredictable mercenary, the merc with a mouf. M-O-U-F. Two fists, two swords, four guns, and a number of other weapons that seem to appear from his "magic satchel." In other words, a total badass.

History of She-Hulk
I think it’s fair to say that everyone has heard of The Hulk. In fact, I’m pretty certain that even people who have never touched a comic book in their lives or have never seen one of the very many superhero movies coming out every year now still know who The Hulk is. Why is that?
