The same week of the movie itself, we'll be taking a look at Jonathan Hickman's Infinity, from where much of Avengers: Infinity War will be mining its plot points. In the end, do I recommend Infinity Gauntlet? Hell yeah It's a classic for a reason It's weird, it's ephemeral, it's fun, and it's gorgeous It's one[...]

It looks like Jonathan Hickman may have signed his next contract with Marvel Comics — but we understand that previously he was all ready to go at DC Comics. Photo by Kendall Whitehouse The switch came down to a number of things. C.B Cebulski as Marvel's new Editor-in-Chief was a major reason for Hickman to change his mind about[...]

Jonathan Hickman's New Avengers also told a T'Challa-focused tale and was actually another really good series. New Avengers #1 cover by Jock One thing about Avengers titles over the past decade or so is that Brian Michael Bendis never seemed particularly interested in the character of T'Challa, only really bringing him in to AvX due to his[...]

Marvel Executive Vice President Of Never Answering The Goddamn Question Tom Brevoort appeared in an interview with ComicBook.com today to deftly avoid giving a straight answer to any questions the website asked him. One of those was a question about when Jonathan Hickman is returning to the Marvel Universe, which Brevoort answered by[...]

X-Men tie-ins because that story is awful. I stuck with the Avengers through the Jonathan Hickman days, though I did splinter off to the Avengers World title when it started, which was primarily written by Nick Spencer I liked Hickman and Spencer's work quite a bit, but it never quite reached the level of enjoyment I[...]

A deliberate avoidance or blind ignorance, who knows, but he does at least get one of the final writers of the Fantastic Four for Marvel, Jonathan Hickman to confirm what Bleeding Cool first reported.

With the reveal at Disney's D3 Expo at Anaheim of the Children of Thanos, aiding the Mad Titan in his assault on the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Infinity War, there's an interesting point to note. L-R: Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Thanos, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf As I mentioned in the reveal article,[...]

However, another option seemed more likely: the Black Order. Although initially consisting of five members, the Black Order were introduced in Jonathan Hickman's Infinity event, and were the lieutenants of the Mad Titan Thanos himself And Hickman's work at Marvel has been used as inspiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe before. Well, it would seem that these[...]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a comic creator who sees that their cover is by Jonathan Hickman feels something die inside It's inevitably going to be on another, unattainable level… And August sees a month of such variant covers, continuing Image's 25th anniversary promotions And the first two are for Elsewhere and The Wicked +[...]

It's unknown what connection Image have with the mysterious Freemasons – are they longtime accomplices in a secret plot to support the new world order, or simply renting the lodge for the weekend? We don't know the answer, but it's worth noting that the Image Comics ongoing book scheduling process is nearly as arcane and secretive as[...]

01 (out 1/25/17 from Image Comics by Jonathan Hickman, Tomm Coker, Michael Garland and Rus Wooton) is simultaneously a seriously intimidating graphic tome as well as being an absurd amount of bang for your buck (provided you're paying in American bucks and not worthless, worthless British pounds) It is so immense and packed full of everything it takes nearly[...]

But this is about the first volume from Jonathan Hickman, Mike Costa and Di Amorim… which I really enjoyed reading.

Is every Image Comic title writing apologetic notes? At least this one retailers don't have to still in themselves. From the new issue of The Dying And The Dead #3, which was solicited to have been published in March. In the back, writer Jonathan Hickman pens a note to all. Don't expect to see similar in Secret Wars….   [...]
