Best Superhero Catchphrases
Superhero catchphrases say a lot about a character. They represent the character’s origin and who they are as a person. Depending on the character, their catchphrase could give them their powers or just small doses of comic relief. The most feared and powerful superheroes in Marvel and DC history also have some of the most popular superhero catchphrases.

Best Crime Comic Book Series
There's something about comic books that tends to make them seem wholesome–maybe its the colorful cartoons, or the fact that superhero comics almost always end up with a happy resolution, or perhaps it's just the automatic association my brain makes between comics and adolescence. But make no mistake–if you take out the superheroes from the worlds that they occupy, the storylines can indeed be incredibly twisted, dark and violent. Some of the best crime comic book series draw upon real life crime stories, or works from other media and portray villains that mean serious harm.

Songs Every Angsty Millennial Listened To
There are many songs that were released during the Millennial era, but the ones that angsty youths listened to were a chosen few. Being different was the basis of being a Millennial. To grow up or be born in the age of changing tides caused so much confusion, which gave way to angst as these kids hit puberty. Music was a way to express themselves. No one quite did it like rock bands. They dared to push the boundaries and did not conform. For that reason, these are the songs angsty Millennials had to have on their iPod.

We Need A Haiku To Save Us: Spider-Man
Haiku's are sparingly used, and if they are it's usually some form of satire. The elegant simplicity of a haiku lends itself to mockery and bawdiness, which leaches the sincerity out of an ancient respected form of prose. My goal is to bring the Haiku back to legitimate literature circles, and what better what to do that then to focus on something near to me, and a huge part of our zeitgeist: Super Heroes. These titans are at their zenith of influential power right now, with their action grip clenched on the silver screen, and our hearts.
