Who is Ravonna Renslayer? When we’re dealing with characters from across the multiverse, that becomes a very difficult question to answer.
At the end of Loki‘s first season, Loki and Sylvie discovered that the judges of the Tva were not always functionaries designed to protect the sacred timeline. Rather, they were Variants captured from pruned timelines and forced to work at the Tva. That included Judge Ravonna Renslayer, who was, in another life, Rebecca Tourminet, a vice principal at an Ohio high school. During a Nexus Event, He Who Remains took Rebecca, christened her Ravonna Renslayer, and made her part of his army before installing her as a Judge in the Tva.
After Mobius told Ravonna about this secret history, she pruned him (he got better) and then left the organization to find out more about herself. Ravonna remains missing across the first two episodes of Loki‘s second season,...

Welcome to the latest instalment of a brand-new feature here on Nerdly, where one of our comic gurus, Ian Wells, delves into comics history and dissects Comics Interview, the long-running journal of interviews and criticism from David Anthony Kraft.
Up Front
Dak uses the Up Front space in this issue to plug upcoming releases from Fictioneer Books. Both in fact have had adverts run in every issue of Comics Interview so far. The first is Omniverse #3 by Mark Gruenwald (work on Ohotmu has held him up). Second, is a Don McGregor-penned James Bond series. From now on I won’t be dedicating a space to any new additions to the credits page. I will just mention any newcomers as and when the articles they contributed to come up. Also, I will not be calling out the letters pages every issue. Of course, if they get lively I will reconsider this decision,...

One of the most impressive signs of the MCU’s might occurred early in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. As Cap and Black Widow make their way through a ship held captive by pirates, they’re stopped by the ring leader: Batroc the Leaper. To comic book fans, Batroc was one of the goofier characters in Cap’s rogues gallery, a Frenchman straight out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, endowed with the power of jumping really well. But in The Winter Soldier, Batroc was played by UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre, who proceeded to have a really cool action sequence with Cap.
“If that’s what the MCU can do with Batroc, imagine what they’ll do with Crossbones?” we all thought. Introduced in Captain America #359 as the Red Skull’s enforcer during writer Mark Gruenwald’s legendary run, Crossbones quickly established himself as a formidable counter to Cap,...

Up Front With Dak
From this point forward I will be referring to David Anthony Kraft as Dak. He kicks things up this month by saying how well-received the first issue was. So well received in fact that starting with this very issue Comics Interview will be going monthly! The new monthly schedule will result in some fine-tuning issue by issue for what articles appear. One idea he has already is to have colourists and letters rotate month to month. In this issue the Mark Evanier interview doubles up as writer and editor feature, also an inker interview is absent. Dak makes the point to say everyone working on Ci with him is doing so...

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...

One thing about the origins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that’s easy to forget these days is that much of the Avengers stuff was inspired by the Ultimate Marvel comics, specifically The Ultimates. This especially went for Hawkeye, who had little to do with his mainstream comic self and far more with Ultimate Hawkeye. His uniform, Shield black ops status, and even his family were taken from the Ultimate Marvel comics. Not only that, but the way he became a hopeless mass murderer after the deaths of his wife and kids (far more permanent in the comics) was lifted from the books.
So it’s a bit weird to see them suddenly shift to his mainstream comic self. Up to Avengers: Endgame, the only specific bit of Hawkeye taken from the regular comic continuity is that he started dressing as Ronin for a time. Now he’s starring in...

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?...

This article contains Loki episode 5 spoilers.
Marvel’s Loki episode 5 is a big one. Yes, we know…last week felt like that. And the one before it, too. But this one really Is, with the entire episode taking place (as DoG’s Kayti Burt put it) on top of a literal “trash pile of MCU and Marvel Comics Easter eggs.”
With that in mind, let’s have some fun with all the incredible Marvel references they managed to sneak into Loki episode 5.
Journey Into Mystery
You probably already know this, but Journey Into Mystery was the book that first introduced the Marvel Comics version of Thor, with Loki following shortly after. The title eventually was just renamed Thor since the Asgardians had become the primary focus of the book for years by that point. However, Journey Into Mystery was revived a few years back, with its primary focus being on...

This article contains major spoilers for Marvel’s Loki episode 2, potentially future episodes, and the wider MCU.
Marvel’s Loki episode 2, “The Variant,” wastes absolutely no time. And like some of the best Marvel TV efforts, the Easter eggs and references are numerous, but not all of them are obvious. In fact, a lot of them don’t even necessarily pertain to the MCU! Loki is having fun with genre, TV formulas, and the very notions of time travel itself, so looking to the pages of Marvel Comics isn’t quite enough.
Here’s everything we’ve found so far, and if you spot anything we missed, be sure to let us know!
The Renaissance Fair The Renaissance Fair takes place on April 12, 1985…in Oshkosh, Wi. Why Oshkosh? It could very well be because that’s the place where legendary Marvel writer/editor Mark Gruenwald, the man who is the basis for Agent Mobius,...

This article contains Loki spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here.
The arrival of Marvel’s Loki on Disney+ is maybe the biggest expansion of the MCU since Guardians of the Galaxy brought viewers out into the cosmos. However, the added dimension in Loki is an order of cosmological magnitude greater than just going into space.
The main setting of Loki is the Time Variance Authority, created by the Time-Keepers to guard the one true sacred timeline. But who are these mysterious space lizards, and where do they get off deciding what the true timeline is? Let’s look to the comics to find out.
The Time-Keepers
Loki’s Time-Keepers are introduced in Miss Minutes’ orientation video as survivors of a massive, multiversal war with enormous powers, who decided that in order to prevent that kind of war from ever happening again, they would cultivate the timestream and make...

After an extra month of waiting, we’re finally at the fireworks factory that is Marvel’s Loki. Tom Hiddleston returns, using his time-travel cameo in Avengers: Endgame to sidestep the fact that Loki died a heroic death in Avengers: Infinity War. Despite sneaking away with the Tesseract in a revised version of the first Avengers movie, things don’t work out so well for our easily-annoyed villain.
And now…he’s stuck running suicide missions with the Time Variance Authority. What a way for a god to spend his days.
The show seems to be making its way towards a buddy cop route with the addition of Owen Wilson. It’s the kind of casting that has you saying, “Wait, is this Owen Wilson’s first time in one of these? How has it taken so long for Owen Wilson to get a role in a Marvel movie?”

This article contains nothing but spoilers for Loki episode 1. We have a spoiler-free review here.
Marvel’s Loki episode 1 has finally arrived on Disney+! And in the grand scheme of things, this one is much closer to WandaVision than The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in terms of its tone, weirdness, and overall sense of mystery. The halls of the Tva are packed with obscure Marvel Comics lore and hints of what’s to come for the MCU, and we’re here to try and help you make sense of all of it.
The MCU and Loki Timeline
It’s appropriate that the first thing we see in Loki is a scene from Avengers: Endgame, the time-iest, wime-iest Marvel movie of them all (so far) and whose timeline branching/headache inducing time travel rules are crucial to the central concepts of Loki.
Basically, the most important thing to remember...

We still don’t know how much of an antagonist John Walker – the new Captain America – will be on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So far, Wyatt Russell’s Walker seems like a guy trying to do the right thing, and a decent enough fella, although his final interaction with Sam and Bucky at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 hints at a darker side. Still, he isn’t what we would exactly call a villain
And while we do know that Helmut Zemo will be popping up in the next episode, right now the biggest threat is the Flag-Smashers, a terrorist group who feel that Earth was better in-between Thanos snapping out half of the population and Hulk snapping them back in. The existence of a pro-Thanos terrorist group does make me wonder if...

(Spoilers ahead for episode 2 of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”)
The second episode of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” was a whole lot of exposition, but it did bring us a few big reveals. Chief among them: It (apparently) isn’t Batroc or Zemo leading the Flag Smashers, it’s Karli Morgenthau.
Obviously, that’s an unfamiliar name. We’ve never met her in the MCU, unlike other villains in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” So logically, the next guess would be that she’s a character from the comics — and that’s kind of true. But in the comics, she is a he.
Karli Morgenthau seems to be based on Karl Morgenthau, better known in comic lore as — you guessed it — Flag-Smasher. But, as always, the MCU appears to be tweaking the Morgenthau story a bit.

(Warning: The following post contains spoilers from the premiere episode of Disney+’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”)
The first episode of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” ends with the surprise — and for Sam Wilson, cruelly frustrating — debut of a brand new Captain America. But it wasn’t Sam or Bucky Barnes carrying on Steve Rogers’ mantle, it was an unfamiliar man in Cap’s star-spangled uniform. Who is that guy? Well, we’re about to get into that.
We’ll cut right to the chase: As you’ll learn in future episodes of the Disney+ series, the man under the brand new Cap mask is John Walker, best known in Marvel Comics as the superhero US Agent.
Created in 1986 by writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Paul Neary, Walker was envisioned as something of a thought experiment, a deliberate counterpoint to Steve Rogers that, as Greunwald put it in a 1988 interview,...

If you thought Sam Wilson taking the shield from Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame meant his fate as the new Captain America was signed, sealed, and delivered, the first episode of Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has gleefully proven you wrong with a last-minute twist: a new Captain America who isn't Sam.
The series picks up about six months after everyone returns from the Blip and reveals that, despite him being Steve's chosen successor, the Department of Defense asked Sam to give the shield back to the government as a museum display piece for the Smithsonian. Although Sam is visibly conflicted, he does so, because as he's said before, the shield "feels like it belongs to somebody else." When speaking with Rhodey (Don Cheadle), the two heroes discuss how the Captain's legacy is a complicated one and what Sam's future as a hero looks like now that he...

The weight of what they’ve been through clearly weighs heavily on their minds and the pair are struggling in some ways, but slowly making progress in others.
In his winged guise as Falcon, Sam Wilson proves straight out of the gate in the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier that he’s more than a worthy fit for Cap’s shield, which was handed to him at the end of Avengers: Endgame. But after some deliberation Sam has decided not to take up the mantle of Captain America, puzzling Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes.

Among this overwhelming tidal wave of Disney project news that consumed us all Thursday night, we got to see the new trailer for Loki, which will be hitting Disney+ this coming May. As shown, this Loki isn’t the one who got choked to death in the opening moments of Avengers: Infinity War, but the Loki appearing during the Time Heist in Avengers: Endgame. After the events of the first Avengers went awry, that version of Loki was able to sneak away with the Tesseract and create a tangent universe.
And now…he’s stuck running suicide missions with the Time Variance Authority. What a way for a god to spend his days.
Getting away from Tom Hiddleston, the trailer also makes everyone realize, “Wait, is this Owen Wilson’s first time in one of these? How has it taken so long for Owen Wilson to get a role in a Marvel movie?...

It’s been a long time since there’s been any movement with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, we haven’t had any new McU stuff in a year and half. But now WandaVision’s launch looms, and we just got our first look at the “Loki” series that’s coming to Disney+ next year.
“Loki” will follow the title character, played once again by Tom Hiddleston, from when he escaped the clutches of the Avengers with the Tesseract during the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” As we expected after we saw that movie, Loki will use the Space Stone to explore this new alternate timeline that has been created thanks to the Avengers’ time travel shenanigans.
But beyond that, we don’t know much. And at first watch the trailer doesn’t seem to give us much in the way of new information. The trailer is...

Marvel’s Loki trailer is finally here, and it gives us more obscure Marvel continuity weirdness than we could have possibly hoped for. Right from the outset, we learn that Loki is a prisoner of the Time Variance Authority, an obscure group first introduced in the pages of Thor comics of the 1980s.
But don’t let us spoil it for you…take a look at this trailer first, and then we’ll get into the history of the Tva.
The Tva was introduced in the legendary Walt Simonson Thor run back in 1986. In Thor #372, an officer from the distant future named Justice Peace showed up in the present to work with Thor in preventing a killer from unleashing a terrible outbreak. Basically, 12 Monkeys only Thor’s there, so the good guys win.
While the focus of the issue is Justice Peace’s shabby “Judge Dredd meets Orion meets a bad cosplayer” appearance,...

The first footage from Marvel's Loki TV series on Disney+ reveals an unexpected and obscure Marvel team will be part of the story.
For the geeks of the world, few Super Bowl commercials got us more hyped than Marvel’s Disney+ ad featuring the first three shows that continue the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Much of the ad is based around Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision, but there’s a brief stinger about the Loki TV show. That makes sense, since it’s obviously not nearly as far along as the other two, what with them just announcing Owen Wilson being part of the cast.
Anyway, if you aren’t caught up, watch this snazzy trailer right here.

John Walker, the Us Agent will be one of the antagonists of Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+.
When The Falcon and The Winter Soldier starts up on Disney+ next year, one of its main antagonists will be the returning Daniel Bruhl as Helmut Zemo. At D23, it’s been announced that there will be another major antagonist in the form of John Walker, as played by Wyatt Russell. Walker is a B-lister-at-best to Marvel and it makes sense that this would be the project that would formally introduce him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While there have been various people to take up the mantle of Captain America outside of Steve Rogers, there are only five who truly matter. Isaiah Bradley was the prototype for Captain America as revealed in the excellent Truth: Red, White, and Black. William Burnside became Captain America...

Should disability be a part of the diversity discussion? Nyle Dimarco certainly thinks so.
The model and disability activist has brought attention to Hawkeye’s deafness in certain strains of the comic book and wonders why this hasn’t been incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet. Furthermore, with Avengers 4 now looming on the horizon, is there any chance of getting some disability representation in our comic book movies?
Talking to Mic, the digital news company who champion diverse perspectives, Dimarco explained the following:
“So many times people forget the disability conversation in diversity. They think diversity has to do with race [and] gender, but there’s so much more to it. We are part of diversity as people with disabilities and the danger is that we get excluded.
“There are a couple of issues where specifically Hawkeye is deaf. And so they brought in an actor who can hear instead.

Joss Whedon reassembles The Avengers in Age Of Ultron, and brings Marvel's phase two to a close. Here's our review...
This review is spoiler-free. The closest we get to a spoiler is hinting at something in the last act, but we don't tell you what it is. However, we wanted to give you that information up front, so you can decide whether to read on...
Three years ago, the first Avengers movie smashed everything from audience expectations to box office records as it brought the first phase of the Marvel cinematic universe to an unprecedented, near-faultless conclusion. We gave it an undisputed five stars. More than that, we loved it. We still do. It's the ultimate expression of its genre: a superhero team-up movie that gives you everything you want and then a little bit more. At the time the credits rolled, it seemed unthinkable that a follow-up would ever come close to matching it.

Certainly one of the toughest characters in Marvel Studios' "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is actor Frank Grillo as the Marvel Comics' character 'Brock Rumlow' aka 'Crossbones'.
'Rumlow', 'Brock Rumlow' slash 'Crossbones'...he is a bad ass guy," said Grillo about the character. "He pretty much beats the shit out of everyone..."
"It’s an origin film...You meet people who are going to be around for a while, so they introduce the characters. It’s almost like it’s a series. It’s fun...and it’s very political...more of a political thriller...It’s more of two sides of an idea than it is good vs evil. It’s not 'Batman' and 'Robin' vs 'The Joker'...it really is a smarter version of what a lot of these superhero movies are...."

I may be behind the eight-ball here, but last month much blogging, Facebook and Tumblr posts and Twitter accounts were ablaze with comics artist Tess Fowler’s account of sexual harassment at the 2007 San Diego Comic Convention – a comics pro used the age-old pretense of being interested in her work to try and get her to come up to his room, and when Tess declined, he then went about insulting her work, her cosplay and talking bullshit about her to other male comics professionals and anybody else who would listen on the convention floor, i.e., in public.
Yeah, I know I’ve written about this subject before, and so has Heidi MacDonald over at The Beat, Colleen Doran on her own blog, former Dark Horse editor Rachel Edidin on her Tumblr site Postcards From Space, Jill Pantozzi at The Mary Sue, and Corrina Lawson on her site, Geek Mom.

Recently, Amazon made an announcement that they’re going into the business of publishing fanfiction. Through the new Kindle Worlds platform, Amazon will accept novels, novellas, and short stories based on movies, TV shows, comics, books, music, and games that Amazon has managed to secure the licenses for. At the moment, Amazon has only announced three licenses: Alloy Entertainment’s Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and The Vampire Diaries. After making this announcement, the Internet preceded to go absolutely bonkers. There are a lot of people who are excited about this, but there are also those who are very worried this could be used to exploit unknown yet eager authors.
For starters, let’s look at the terms as they’ve been defined up to this point. All content submitted to Kindle Worlds must meet the general content guidelines. Some of these are no crossovers, so even if Amazon licenses both Buffy and Firefly,...
