Before making his live-action debut in Supermanthe public needs to understand who Hawkgirl It's in DC comics. The mantle is associated with one of the Justice League's most underrated heroes. In the comics, three characters have claimed this mantle: Shiera Sanders Hall, Shayera Thal, and Kendra Saunders. James Gunn has already confirmed that the version of Hawkgirl that appears in Superman will be Kendra Saunders. Saunders, played by Isabela Merced, can be seen in the recently released teaser trailer for Superman. New Live-Action Spotlight on Kendra Saunders Leaves Readers Reflecting what Kendra is like in the comics and what separates…

Marvel fans often want to compare the MCU version of Iron Man and the comic book source material – and it's safe to say that the definitive version of the character is the one that appears in the pages of Marvel Comics. For Marvel movie fans thinking about checking out the comics, here are ten reasons why it's the right decision. It might be easy to assume there's more to compare than contrast between the two, at least on paper, but the MCU never directly adapts Tony Stark or his stories. Many elements are borrowed from the comics, but as…
No Marvel character, hero or villain, is as diva as Doctor Doom. A diva can best be described as a smug and often vain human being who is not only self-absorbed but can also be self-centered in the most theatrical fashion. Anyone remotely familiar with the Doctor Doom stories will agree that “diva” accurately describes Doom. Dr. Victor Von Doom famously has a flair for the dramatic. He takes offenses personally and any small inconvenience to him seems like an attack on his well-being. Since it debuted in 1962 on a Fantastic Four history of the legendary Stan Lee and…
Warning: Spoilers for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4!I am sure that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is ready to undo the franchise's most controversial moment. Anyone familiar with the cartoons and films probably thinks I sound dramatic, but those who have seen how incredibly dark the TMNT comics can get know I'm talking about Splinter's death. For many fans, it was genuinely blasphemy to kill Splinter. However, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4 by Jason Aaron, Chris Burnham, Brian Reber and Shawn Lee gives me the impression that Splinter's inevitable return was foreshadowed. You see, the foreshadowing comes from the ramblings of…
Fans love to match WWE programming comparable to that of “cinema”, but cinema is an entirely different beast compared to pro wrestling. This is in no way meant to discredit professional wrestling. It's live theater, at its core, and theater is a distant cousin of cinema, but films nonetheless present a unique challenge to competitors in the ring. Not everyone has the talent to act or make films, including wrestlers, but those who managed to transform their charisma in the ring into films were always destined for success. It might not necessarily be for a striking leading role, but it…
Few canceled music albums have achieved mythical legend status in the same vein as J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. It's the modern equivalent of the kind of mystery that Dr. Detox stirred once ago. Some fans and commentators continue to wonder if K. Dot and J. Cole still have plans to release said album, while others question whether it ever existed. J. Cole confirmed the album's planned existence on his Inevitable podcast, where he released several new tracks this year with himself and Kendrick Lamar that would have ended up in a proposed collaboration project. The releases have fans hoping…
THE A Nightmare on Elm Street film franchise did not delve deeper Freddy Krueger as deeply as some audiences might think. From the beginning, the films have been transparent about Freddy's past as a child killer and even how he was killed. Later films – namely Dream Warriors and Freddy is dead – added more depth to Freddy's twisted origin story by revealing his upbringing. However, one forgotten Marvel comic – A Nightmare on Elm Street, by Freddy Krueger #1 by Steve Gerber, Rich Buckler, Tony DeZuniga, Alfredo Alcala and Janice Chiang – delves into the origin story of Frederick…
THE Power Rangers The showdown of every '90s kid's dream is finally coming to fruition. The Power Rangers franchise is no stranger to creating unthinkable crossovers. The Rangers have shared the screen (and page) with everyone from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the original dream demon, Freddy Krueger. Their next crossover, however, is the ultimate childhood TV dream fight. Power Rangers Prime #4 by Melissa Flores, Michael YG and Fabi Marques promises to deliver the long-awaited dream fight between the Power Rangers and the VR soldiers. BOOM! The studios' February solicitations contain all the details of the upcoming issue.…
Before WWE had an attitude during his best era, ECW set the tone. Extreme Championship Wrestling is best remembered as the hardcore deathmatch promotion, but it was much more than just the Land of Extreme. As influential as ECW was when it came to hardcore content, it was equally influential when it came to pure in-ring wrestling. And how could it not? This is the promotion where ring generals like Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko and several others got their first big break. There was a time when, compared to WWE and WCW, when all three companies…
Godzilla will be keeping an eye on Marvel's first family, The Fantastic Four. It was previously announced that March 2025 will officially mark Godzilla's takeover of the Marvel Universe. King of the Monsters will merge with Marvel for a new six-issue crossover event, where each issue will feature Godzilla facing off against an iconic superhero from the company's roster. One of these confirmed one-shots will be Godzilla x Fantastic Four #1 by Ryan North and John Romita Jr., hitting newsstands March 19.
