Once upon a time, eight years ago in fact, Marvel Comics published a SHIELD series by Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver . It was a little late, but four issues came out. But five did not. It was… delayed. As was issue six. Its absence was oft commented on. Weaver said, So then, Jonathan and I were off […]
Late last night, comic artist Tradd Moore shared a new image on his Instagram page that revealed that we almost got a Suicide Squad story from the creator last year. The artist, whose work on action series Luther Strode over at Image Comics showed his incredible talent for balls-to-the-wall action sequences and creative comics storytelling, […]
Unfortunately, it’s just for those final two issues of S.H.I.E.L.D. that were never published. 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.

Okay, I’ll admit it: this one is a little too Bendis. I was pretty interested in Infamous Iron Man when it was first announced. I love a good villain book, and Victor Von Doom is perfect to host his own title. Doom taking up the mantle of Iron Man was a bit odd, but I could see […]
*Ties into the Secret Empire crossover Occupy Avengers has brought something to the table this month that really should have been here already: an actual fight-the-power narrative. Where is the fight-the-power stuff in this story about a Neo-Nazi fascist organization taking over America? Yeah, the Underground, the Champions, and the Defenders are trying to find […]
Yesterday, in an article about Artificial Intelligence, I referenced Isaac Asminov’s 3 Rules of Robotics. Seems Robotics is on the minds of some folks lately as Marvel has put together their list of their Top 10 Robots in the Marvel Universe. It’s a pretty interesting list that includes a few LMD’s (Life Model Decoys)… which […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned to television last week for its mid-season premiere, and just one episode later promptly dropped 25% in the ratings, bringing in just over 2 million viewers with an abysmal .6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The beleaguered show has been on a nonstop ratings slide pretty much since its premiere, which […]
In the TV series, Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD, Agent Coulson has a flying car. It’s called Lola. Everyone knows not to touch Lola. But the question that hadn’t been asked – or answered until now… is why Lola? I mean we know the car… But why the name? The new Agents Of SHIELD #1 comic book […]

Again, thanks to a friendly retailer or two, some very semi-spoilery teases for a few comic books coming out tomorrow… 1. Aquaman #44 will most likely start a long discussion about sexual consent in a fantasy environment. If that’s an issue, be aware. 2. There’s a very unexpected death in Justice League #44 at the hands […]

*** Possible Spoilers for Ant-Man *** If you watched the red carpet world premier of Ant-Man on Marvel.com, you got to see actor Martin Donovan interviewed where he skated around identifying his role.
