Nintendo may be widely known as an international video game company, but that hasn’t stopped it from venturing into other forms of media, including comics. In fact, Nintendo has been secretly publishing a manga-style comic for over a year (one based on a beloved video game series), and most people didn’t even notice.

There is also another factor that comes into play: the hero’s name. There’s a reason why heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America have stood the test of time, while the likes of Major Maple Leaf and Whizzer have been all but forgotten. Names are very important, but what’s arguably even more important are the origins of those names, and almost nothing beats an iconic Marvel movie hero who was named after an amazing ’90s song (and she’s not…
It’s fair to say that Peanut is the most iconic and beloved comic book of all time, as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock are some of the greatest characters ever created – comic book characters or otherwise. In fact, that’s the reason why Peanut is perhaps the greatest comic book series ever created: its characters. Not only does the comic give readers an endless supply of jokes, but it also gives a peek into the lives of these characters, allowing the characters themselves to tell the jokes naturally.

THE Hulk is reputed to be one of the strongest heroes in the Marvel Universe, and while that is a fair assessment given his numerous near-cosmic-level feats of strength, it should in no way imply that the Hulk is unbeatable. In fact, the Hulk has suffered many defeats throughout his history in Marvel Comics, and each one has highlighted a specific weakness that the Strongest Avenger is vulnerable to. After being hit by a blast of gamma radiation, Bruce Banner not only became a gamma mutant with unmatched strength, he also gained the power granted to him by the One…

Warning: Contains spoilers for Alien: Paradiso #1! Alien Fans are about to get a whole new comic series to sink their teeth into, one that promises to be a huge departure for the franchise because of one seemingly innocuous but immensely significant thing: the setting. Alien Usually uses elements of hard sci-fi in his stories, as shown with his very bleak outlook on humanity’s interplanetary expansion. However, this new Alien Comic is giving the franchise a much softer sci-fi tone with its new setting – and it’s going to be awesome to see the Xenomorphs Tear it up. In 20th…
