Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Ultimate Black Panther #13! Marvel Comics There is no shortage of notable villains who never fail to captivate and entertain readers, especially when they make life difficult for their designated heroes. However, it cannot be denied that in the grand scheme of things, Marvel villains simply don’t matter. Sure, they can cause problems (sometimes on a cosmic scale), but they’re never really the focus, especially in death. These villains die, come back, and often without explanation. Marvel villains serve the hero’s story, not the broader story of the Marvel Universe. At least, until now. When requesting…

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Ultimate Wolverine #2! Wolverine is one of Marvel’s greatest heroes/antiheroes of all time, and the reason is that he always fights for the liberation of mutants. Sometimes his methods are a little intense (and murderous), but he’s fighting for the greater good for all mutants. However, in the new Final UniverseWolverine’s role is completely reversed, as he has seemingly become a brutal villain fighting the very thing he would so often kill for on Earth-616. In Marvel Comics’ request for Ultimate Wolverine #2 by Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio, fans receive the main cover art (by…

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Chasm: The Curse of Kaine #4! There are a large number of superhero groups established in Marvel Comicsand what generally defines them is their common interest in truth, justice, and general heroism. But there are also a fair number of individual Marvel superheroes who have another, decidedly less conventional, interest in common.

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Power Rangers Prime #1! Power Rangers’ Angel Grove has always been portrayed as the Idyllic ‘teen town’ where kids could safely roam the streets, meet up at local hangouts and roller skate to their heart’s content.

Power Rangers’ new continuity, Angel Grove has become something fans have never seen before. In Power Rangers Prime #1 by Melissa Flores and Michael Yg, Angel Grove, California (and indeed the entire world…

However, when it comes to one character in particular who was vital to the comic’s origins in Boys’ World, Amazon completely missed the mark (although perhaps for the better). In The boys: butcher, baker, candlestick #6 by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, Billy…
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Ultimates #6! When Phil Coulson died in UCMis the first Avengers movie, I was honestly heartbroken. The guy was around since the first Iron Manand had as much participation in the formation of the Avengers as Nick Fury himself. Additionally, in the MCU films leading up to The Avengerswe met Coulson, making his death a legitimate gut punch. However, as impactful as Coulson’s death was in the MCU, it doesn’t compare to what Marvel Comics just did in their new Ultimate Universe – and I can’t believe what I just saw. In The latest #6…

Zordon is an alien from the planet Eltar, and was even a high-ranking Guardian of Eltar, which makes him a bona fide badass outside of the Power Rangers. And more than anything, Zordon represented what the entire Eltarian race stood for: peace and heroism on a cosmic scale.
