Tony Stark’s protege Riri Williams, aka Ironheart is taking flight again in the Marvel Universe. Marvel Comics has announced the new Ironheart ongoing series from poet and playwright Eve Ewing and artist Kevin Libranda. It is an exciting time for the writer who really never thought she would ever be in this position. Her excitement comes through as she tells the Chicago Tribune. “Periodically I have to sit back and go, ‘Omigosh, I’m a Marvel writer’ — there’s nothing more implausible and more amazing that’s ever happened to me. When you’re a writer, oftentimes you’re grinding away and there’s a short…

Disney has made it pretty clear that they will absolutely not rehire James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It has been well established that the reason he was fired was based on multiple old tweets of jokes involving pedophilia and rape that were unearthed and reposted on social media. Despite a large fan outcry and multiple support from celebrities, which includes the cast and crew of Guardians of the Galaxy, Disney has refused to reconsider and decided to stand firm with their decision to fire James Gunn. With Gunn out of the picture, fans have all attempted to…

For those fans of Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes movies, it sounds like the popular actor has begun getting back into character as Sherlock Holmes for the third movie in the Sherlock Holmes film series. Downey tweeted out a GIF of himself from one of the two previous Sherlock Holmes movies, writing “Practicing my Sherlock face.” https://twitter.com/robertdowneyjr/status/1031220261578629120?s=21 In the series thus far, Downey plays Sherlock alongside Jude Law as Dr. John Watson, the two heroes from Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective stories.

The “Picard Maneuver,” it was a thing of legend back in the days when Star Trek: The Next Generation aired. Fans of the show know exactly what I am referring to. It was the move that Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard had to do with his uniform every time the Captain had to stand. His command tunic would ride up and require him to give it a quick tug downward to keep him looking regally Captain like. When the planning for Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access, was underway they put a lot of thought into the practical consideration of…

To say that fans are anticipating the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, might be the understatement of the galaxy. You can pretty much believe that the cast is right there with them. The voice actors who have brought to life those now iconic animated characters like Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and many more recently gathered to reflect on the tenth anniversary of Lucasfilm’s popular animated series. The cast also reflected on the fandom and how The Clone Wars continues to impact their lives. You can see this on the video below: and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jDDC8rMr1Vo Ahsoka voice actress…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pWHQX9QqA” align=”center”][vc_column_text] By now everyone knows that Thanos was fully computer generated by the visual effects teams.

Slashfilms reveals in a new report how it all came together. They were fortunate enough to explore the visual effects house of Digital Domain to get a behind the scenes look at how the artists crafted the Mad Titan’s journey to obtain the Infinity Stones. Check it out in the video player above. “We wanted to…

When I was a young man, I saw myself as either an artist for Disney or a Marvel comic book artist. I could see myself right up there with Jack Kirby or  my personal favorite John Buscema. Imagine my excitement when looking through my favorite book store and finding “How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way” by Stan Lee and John Buscema. This was my golden ticket to the big time…or so I thought. Fast forward….a number of years and I never quite made my dreams of Marvel Artistry come true however, if you’ve ever looked at any of the…

Though Doctor Strange seemingly died at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios might be planning to bring him back for another solo movie (duh…I’m sorry did I type that out loud?) In a report by Mirror, they indicate that filming is set to begin in the spring of 2019, meaning Doctor Strange 2 could be looking at a fall release date in 2020, echoing the original film’s premiere from October 2016. It’s also being reported that Cumberbatch will be receiving a huge pay increase to return as Stephen Strange, with a $9.5 million salary for the…

Marvel Comic fans remember The Black Order was introduced as Thanos’ top generals, the Cull Obsidian, in Marvel’s Infinity. They then made their anticipated big screen debut in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War. That was followed by a return to the Marvel Comics Universe in Avengers: No Surrender. Now, since they are in such demand right now, the Black Order is getting a series of its own. Marvel Comics has officially announced Black Order, a five-issue miniseries written by Award-winning fantasy author Derek Landy (Skullduggery Pleasant) with art by Philip Tan (Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man). This will come as good news…

With Dark Nights: Metal reaching its conclusion, that does not mean fans will not be getting even more “bad to the bone” looking Dark Knights, as writer Scott Snyder and artist Jock work on the new miniseries The Batman Who Laughs. This new series will feature the most memorable baddie from Snyder and Greg Capullo’s big DC event series. Some of the new design work by Jock has been revealed on social media by both the artist and by Snyder featuring a new Dark Knight, who is “all lethal force.” At least that is the way Snyder describes it. The all-black, gun-toting Batman feels…
