One of the best running gags in "The Marvels" involves Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and the search for a perfect superhero name. Despite a fair amount of enthusiasm from Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), whose own alter ego was not-so-subtly inspired by her obsession with Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Monica is seemingly uninterested in that particular hero perk. By the end of "The Marvels," she's still just Monica Rambeau — despite powering up in a major way, saving the universe from an errant wormhole, and ending up in an entirely new timeline.
Monica's arc across the Marvel Cinematic Universe is pretty different from her peers, but it largely works to her benefit. In the comics, Monica is a superhero who's burned through a number of superhero nicknames. She's been called Photon, Spectrum, and even Captain Marvel throughout her tenure on the page — and her ever-changing role in the comics seems to have...

At the end of "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse," Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson) went back to his home universe and reconciled with his ex Mary Jane Watson. Peter is back in the sequel, "Across The Spider-Verse" and this time he's got someone coming with him — his and Mj's daughter, Mayday Parker, who has inherited her father's spider powers.
Don't expect to see this new Spider-Girl pop up in mainstream Marvel Comics, though. In that world, Peter and Mj are currently separated. They've been on-again, off-again since 2008. What happened that year? Only the most despised Spider-Man storyline ever written, "One More Day." What happens in this infamous story? During "Civil War," Aunt May was shot and is in terminal condition. So, to save her life, Peter and Mj make a deal with Mephisto (the Marvel Universe's devil) to erase their marriage from history.

When characters have been around for decades, a number of people tend to leave their creative fingerprints on them. For example, Captain America was created in 1940 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby for Timely Comics. He was a World War II soldier that went above and beyond the call of duty to aid in the fight against the Axis powers, particularly the Nazis. Later, when the company transitioned to Marvel, Stan Lee brought Cap into the modern day in 1963's "The Avengers" #4 as part of the popular super team. From there, a number of extremely talented people like Ed Brubaker, Mark Gruenwald, Roger Stern, Mark Waid, and Ta-Nehisi Coates have crafted character-defining stories for the Star-Spangled Man With A Plan. But as a character goes from creator to creator, they may change slightly. While it's certainly possible for people (fictional or otherwise) to be multifaceted in their personalities, those changes...

It’s hard to explain now, thirty years on, just what a huge event The Death of Superman was. It grew far beyond anything DC Comics could have imagined. It all started with that same old thing in comics, falling sales on the Superman books. There was nothing wrong with the stories or creative teams, they were all very good. I should know because I have practically every issue after all. The problem was with culture. Punisher was big, Ghost Rider was big, Wolverine was big, Batman was getting darker and darker. Superman was just out of step with tastes. So, to get a bit of publicity, then Editor Mike Carlin and his creative teams decided to kill Superman (temporarily of course).
The story, though, caught the attention of the national, then international press,...

The death of Superman continues to loom large over the DC Universe, just as the actual, legendary tale, “The Death of Superman,” looms large over popular culture. It shouldn’t be surprising that one of the most creatively abundant periods in Superman history yielded one story that continues to cast such a long shadow, and yet “The Death of Superman” has become, second only to the Man of Steel’s origin story, perhaps the best known tale in the character’s history.
It’s more than just the story itself. “The Death of Superman” was a media event at a time when comics weren’t necessarily getting mainstream attention. Radio, TV, and traditional print media seized on the opportunity, and casual fans unaware that nobody stays dead in the world of superheroes, genuinely thought DC was bringing the career of its longest-running hero to a close. Since then, the story has been adapted for animation,...

The Illuminati may be relatively new to Marvel Comics, but they are one of the universe’s most compelling concepts. The Illuminati have been absent from the MCU, but recent trailers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness confirm the existence of the organization, albeit in a slightly different form.
In Marvel Comics, the Illuminati is a gathering of the smartest and most influential heroes on Earth. They exist to deal with galactic and multiversal threats; complex problems that demand difficult solutions. They first appeared in the pages of Brian Michael Bendis’ run on New Avengers and played a major role in the follow-up, New Avengers, written by Jonathan Hickman. These stories found the Illuminati making morally gray decisions, like when they decided to exile Bruce Banner in space to avoid any further Hulk outbursts, and plotted to destroy alternative Earths before their own was compromised in Secret Wars.

One is your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler, a kid from Queens trying to juggle his life and his duty to help others. The other is the grand protector of our dimension, fighting mystical threats from throughout the multiverse. They may not sound like they complement each other on paper but, believe it or not, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange work really well together.
It’s actually fairly common to see the two of them working together–their paths cross pretty frequently on the streets of New York, and Spidey is the type to always (inadvertently or not) stick his nose in other heroes’ business. And with them showing up on the big screen together in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we figured it was worth looking back at some of their best comic book team ups.
Spider-Man: One More Day (2007)
Spidey and Strange’s most controversial pairing is also probably the biggest influence on No Way Home.

I’ve said it many times in various reviews, but I’ve been a huge Captain America fan for over 40 years. Superman has always been my favourite character, but Captain America is a close second. I think it was growing up as a fan of American pop culture in general. You don’t get more American than Superman and Captain America, right? I’ve always had a love as well of comics history, of characters that connect the present to the past, and Cap is comic book royalty. Created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon back in 1941,he’s been a Timely and Marvel Comics mainstay ever since, albeit with a brief rest in the 1950’s when unless you were a western, true crime, or romance character, you were surplus to requirements. So, what makes Cap tick? What’s made him who he is?...

With an enormous swath of the world involved in varying degrees of social distancing, many of us suddenly find ourselves with a lot of time on our hands. Never fear! There are more options for streaming comics than ever before, and that means we have access to more of comics history, more hidden gems and epochal runs than ever before. But the variety of options to read can be daunting. That’s why we’ve put together a recommendation list of some of our favorite comics binge reads to help you through quarantine.
DC Universe rolled out in 2017 as the first full-service entertainment streaming platform – old shows, old movies, new shows, new movies, and a huge library of comics.

Tom Lyle, co-creator of Stephanie Brown a.k.a. Spoiler and the costume designer for the Scarlet Spider and professor and Internship Coordinator at the Savannah College of Art & Design (Scad) has died at the age of 66 from complications of a stroke, as confirmed by Scad.
After getting his start in comics drawing Airboy and Strike! for Eclipse Comics, Tom was poached by ComicMix contributor Robert Greenberger to become the penciler on DC Comics’ Starman with writer Roger Stern. Lyle then worked on the first Robin limited series with writer Chuck Dixon. The series had many reprintings of the first few issues as well as two sequel miniseries – Robin II: Joker’s Wild and Robin III: Cry of the Huntress.
Lyle’s next project was The Comet for DC Comics’ Impact Comics imprint, which he pencilled and plotted with writer Mark Waid.

I kind of felt honour bound to review this, with Halloween in our not too distant future. Can you think of many better characters than Ghost Rider at this time of year. I also have a more personal connection in that, every Halloween growing up, I’d always pull a stack of books with a horror connection and read them. I always did the same at Xmas as well, themed reading was a thing back then clearly. Apart from the odd Werewolf By Night, or Tomb of Dracula, the character I loved the most was Johnny Blaze himself, Ghost Rider. Visually awesome, with great villains like Mephisto prone to spring up, and having adventures in a nice little niche area of the Marvel Universe, what was not to like? The 1990′s reboot was ok, with Danny Ketch as the new Ghost Rider,...

[Spoilers ahead for “Captain Marvel.”]
So you’ve seen “Captain Marvel” and now you have a bunch of questions about Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers, her history — and wait who was Marvel… or was it Mar-Vell? And what about Monica Rambeau.
Like every other film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Captain Marvel” only loosely adapts from the comic books, streamlining a hell of a lot. It does a fine job of bringing together characters who are only loosely-connected in the comics, and it boasts a strong, diverse cast to boot. But what is the actual history of Captain Marvel?
That’s a huge question. The answer involves not only characters like Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers, but a cosmic badass partly inspired by actress Pam Grier, some extremely convoluted alien relations, and the first Muslim character to headline a Marvel comic book. Strap in because it’s complicated, weird as hell (this is a...

The character in question is Photon, a hero in the same vein as Captain Marvel, created by Roger Stern and John Romita, Jr. in 1982. and in fact, she was known as Captain Marvel for a time before Carol Danvers picked up that mantle.

In Marvel comics, Carol Danvers is only the latest character to call herself Captain Marvel. Here are the six others…
For a superhero that shares the name of the very company that publishes their adventures, the Captain Marvel identity has been surprisingly inconsistent over the years. Indeed, the first Captain Marvel wasn’t owned by Marvel at all, and it wasn’t until the late 1960s that Marvel had its own version of the character.
But Mar-Vell, who you may have heard of, was only the first in a long line of heroes who took the name – a line which culminates with Carol Danvers hitting cinema screens as the star of the Captain Marvel movie.
Here's a rundown of all the characters who have donned the Captain Marvel persona:

The great Stan Lee sadly passed away last month, causing heartbreak around the world.

In particular, the stars of the McU have come forward to pay their respects to the man who created the universe they’re lucky enough to play in.
Of course, many of them got to meet Lee as he was part of the movie-making process, too, filming his traditional cameo roles that will be sorely missed going forward.

I was in second grade the first time I heard the name Stan Lee.
I couldn’t tell you what I did for my birthday that year, or the names of any of my classmates, but all these years later I remember the opening narrations from the 1981-83 Saturday morning cartoon show called “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.”
Just last month, I rewatched the entire show, and I’m particularly fond of Stan’s narration from “Triumph of the Green Goblin,” the show’s first episode: “A sudden storm inundates New York. Thunder, lightning and the incessant downpour of pounding rain. This is Stan Lee, hoping you’re warm and comfortable while you watch….’cause you’re about the witness one of the strangest adventures of all.”

Even though many enduring elements that we now associate with Superman were products of the Silver Age or the 1940’s radio drama, it’s important that we never forget the contributions that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster made to comic books – and pop culture as a whole – when they created the Man of Steel for Action Comics #1 back in 1938. After all, that served as the very blueprint for the superhero genre as we know it today.
With that, one could say that the character’s 80th anniversary being celebrated by the release of the one-thousandth issue of Action is a bit too poetic. And appropriately enough, DC is complementing the periodical release of said issue with a commemorative hardcover titled Action Comics #1000: 80 Years of Superman. Suffice it to say, this is shaping up to be a must-own for any fan of Big Blue.

Is it possible that DeWanda Wise is playing Monica Rambeau in Captain Marvel?
The Captain Marvel movie has been assembling quite a cast. We've got Samuel L. Jackson finally returning to the role of Nick Fury (granted, this movie takes place in the '90s). We've got the always deliciously villainous Ben Mendelsohn as, of course, a villain (possibly a Skrull). He'll play opposite Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, the Captain Marvel of the title. But there's another Captain Marvel in the movie, with Jude Law as the alien Kree Captain Mar-Vell. So that's two Captain Marvels for your money.
But what if there was a third?
DeWanda Wise has just been added to the cast in a currently unnamed but "plum" supporting role in the movie. That's not a lot to go on at the moment, and there aren't a whole lot of details out there...

"She uses 'blasters' worn on her wrists that fire concussive blasts of unknown energy that can incinerate a human being almost instantly.
"She also wears a device that enables her to disguise her appearance, either through illusion-casting or through molecular rearrangement of her body and clothing.
"Converted by 'Doctor Mandibus' into a 'cyborg', Nebula was given an artificial left eye, left arm, and left shoulder, with the left upper quarter of her head and part of her right hip sheathed in metal..."

I can’t agree with fans that hate big crowds at big comic conventions. I tend to like big crowds. And I am always astonished by the way the San Diego Comic-Con takes over that town. I’m also in awe that the New York Comic Con is the biggest convention held in New York City’s Javits Center. The massive attendees at every big comic-con are both testaments to Geek Culture, and virtual victory laps for all fans everywhere.
To be honest, I also enjoy smaller comic conventions. There’s something special about being able to just wander up to a favorite creator and engage in a conversation with him or her. And at smaller shows, it’s empowering to be able to casually flip through a long box of comics to search for treasures, without elbowing your way through a crushing wall of other fans searching for their own treasures.

Boy, do I have Christmas gift ideas for you! Volume 5 of the Suicide Squad reprints, Apokolips Now, goes on sale December 27 (okay, it just misses Christmas). The extended blu-ray for the movie goes on sale December 13. And Marvel is releasing the first of two volumes gathering my Heroes For Hire work on December 20. You’re right, we want all your monies.
Today I want to talk about H4H. It was a team book whose members included Iron Fist, Luke Cage, White Tiger, Black Knight, Ant-Man, Jim Hammond (a.k.a. the Original Human Torch) plus assorted guest stars rotating in and out such as Hulk, She-Hulk, Hercules and, eventually, Deadpool – who shows up in Volume 2 out in late January.
It’s not hard to understand why Marvel is re-issuing the stories in a Tpb. Luke Cage is on Netflix and Iron Fist soon will be, they’ll both then appear in The Defenders,...

As a young comic fan growing up in New York State’s Finger Lakes Region, the tall tales and whispered rumors about the fabled NYC comic conventions were fascinating. They were a siren call. But the big city was so far away that I didn’t imagine, at that time, I’d ever make the trip to the Big Apple for a comic convention. Of course, my eight-year-old self would have been awestruck when years later, as a marketing professional, I’d work in NYC and would even help Reed Elsevier build the New York Comic Con.
Biking to Fay’s Supermarket one day, I noticed a flyer on the community bulletin board for something called the “Ithaca Comic Con.” Unlike New York City, this was only about 45 minutes away from my hometown. I urged my parents to make the trip. Maybe it was more nagging than urging, but it...

With three separate movie studios focused on building their own individual cinematic fiefdoms in Marvel Studios (the Avengers), Sony (The Amazing Spider-Man), and 20th Century Fox (X-Men and Fantastic Four), the odds of ever getting these Hollywood behemoths to come together in order to produce a movie featuring all of these iconic characters has long been a pipedream.
Except the tide may be turning.
Moviegoers were surprised to see a clip for X-Men: Days of Future Past at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It certainly wasn’t on the level of some of the mid and end credit teasers that Marvel Studios has been making famous since releasing Iron Man in 2008, but it is the first real sign in years that there has been a potential thaw in the icy political dynamics that have continued to keep all these billion dollar properties separate.

After the whole Clone Wars fiasco that darkened the 1990s and a lackluster return to status quo at the beginning of the new millennium, Spider-Man needed some fresh blood injected into his radioactive veins. Then along came artist/writer Joe Quesada, who was promoted to Editor-In-Chief at Marvel Comics in 2000 who decided to overhaul the creative teams on Marvel’s major titles, bringing in such diverse talents as Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly on New X-Men and noted Babylon-5 creator and San Diego native J. Michael Straczynski (Jms) on Amazing Spider-Man. With John Romita Jr, Mike Deodato Jr and Ron Garney providing the artwork, Jms would write a total of 74 issues, spanning six years and forever changing Peter Parker’s life.
At the start of the run, Peter is down on his luck yet again. His marriage to Mary Jane has crumbled to pieces and she has left him to...

I won’t lie and tell you that I’ve been an Avengers fan since I was knee-high to a flying ant, although I was fortunate to discover the book at the point I did, because I was there for the last hurrah of the Avengers’ greatness in comics, the one bright spot in what has otherwise been a very dark and extremely long tunnel. I was born in the early 80s and though this was a great era for comics, I didn’t actually start reading comics until the 90s, which was…let’s be generous and call it a less-great era.
And my drug of choice back then was the X-Men. It wasn’t until the late 90s when Marvel resurrected the Avengers after they’d been in an alternate reality for a year (don’t ask) that I decided to check out the book. George Perez, one...

In the run-up to Man of Steel, the most eagerly-anticipated super-hero film of the year, DC Comics just can’t seem to keep its new Superman initiatives secret for very long. ComicMix has learned that, in the wake of unprecedentedly strong orders for the print version of Batman ’66, DC has started work on Superman Silver. Like the Jeff Parker-Jonathan Case series, Superman Silver will exploit Boomer nostalgia for an earlier incarnation of one of its two biggest super stars. Obviously, “going retro” to appeal to an aging readership has paid off big-time for the publisher, since it’s decided to commission this series even before having metrics on Batman ’66.
Work on the new seven-week series, edited by Bobbie Chase and scheduled to begin in June, is only just beginning, but a few details have been leaked to ComicMix. Each issue will recreate the style, look, and tone of...
