Carbon Grey is a beautifully presented comic. The simplicity of the narrative blends in a poetic way with the detailed art. Orange, red, and peach hues tint the world through their reflection of the colors present in the vast amounts of fire, blood, and bare skin. Though the narrative was well-done and the art was amazing, [...]
Back in October, Marvel announced its Point One Initiative. The basic idea behind the initiative is to provide a clear and easy “jumping on” point for new readers to several long-running series.

This movie idea has been tossed around the table for decades now, and finally it looks to be within reach of coming to fruition. Marvel Studios is again considering bringing the T’Challa, king of the [...]
Age of X: Alpha premiered yesterday, January 27. X-men fans have been waiting and speculating to find out if this universe crossing story arch is just going to be the new version of the Age of Apocalypse for this decade. While admittedly here and there I experienced similar feelings induced by this introduction to Age of [...]
