Last week we saw the lightning form of the White Event hurtling towards the Earth at the culmination of Avengers #6. I rather wish that I could just stop time right there and take a year or two to imagine just what the effects of this could be on the Marvel Earth. Are we to [...]

Wanna Love

You know when you are excited about something, and that something, when it finally arrives, is somehow everything that was promised, but somehow there’s something missing?

At least we are not getting a One Year Later or DCnU style reboot, but a continuation built upon what has passed before. Considering that the aforementioned reboots were DC’s third and [...]

With all the attention that has been focused on the release of Earth 2, I worry that its companion title World’s Finest has been lost in the noise. If you are old enough to remember the original World’s Finest, it was traditionally the team up title of Batman and Superman, always in some outlandish story [...]

If I had this desk, I would actually get out of bed, sit on a chair, and work “like adults are supposed to”. The Avengers working desk is for real, folks, and the guys at Tom Spina designs are the people to thank for it. The Avengers working desk was commissioned by Mark Hall, who [...]
