To coincide with Halloween this week I decided to push out this post about my all time favourite Spider-Man villain, the Green Goblin. He has been Spider-Man's arch nemesis since he was first introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #14 in July 1964. To date, he has received two different big screen adaptations, one portrayed by...

The Batman Who Laughs – The Ultimate Batman Villain
One of the best things to come out of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's epic run on DC Comics was the Dark Knights Metal event, more specifically... The Batman Who Laughs. This dark and twisted Batman has only been around for a few short years but has already cemented himself as one of the top... Continue Reading →
Batman’s Most Powerful Armour
This morning while I was enjoying my breakfast, I turned on Youtube and found the newest video from one of my favourite channels, Variant Comics. This particular video showed the title card of "Batman's Most Powerful Armor Revealed". Now me, being a Batman fan through and through, thought "There's no way they could do something...

The Doom of Valyria and the Death of the Dragonriders
This week's post comes as a request from the far north in Kenora from my friend Ben. As an avid fan of Game of Thrones (Lannister and Martell all the way), one thing that's never fully explained in any of the books or the show, is the Doom of Valyria. As any show watcher or... Continue Reading →
Phasma, Cardinal and Pyre – Leaders of the First Order Stormtroopers
So at the time of writing this post, I am less than 100 pages into the novel Star Wars: Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson, but I am already loving it! Fresh off the Inferno Squad book, I dove right into this one because of how much I like the character of Phasma. I will say... Continue Reading →
Self Sacrifice And It’s Role In Comic Media
Tragic backstories, incredible feats, super powers and self sacrifice, those are the things needed to create any superhero. Whether they're male or female, black or white or any shade in between, super powered people need those qualities to really be considered heroes. Which is something that I find kind of absurd, and I'll tell you... Continue Reading →
Cyclops – A Fallen Hero Reborn
Recently in Marvel Comics, Cyclops, famed leader of one of their most popular properties, The X-Men, has had a rough go. This week I'm going to dive into Cyclops as a character as well as what caused him to stray from his path as a hero and turn him into a fascist militant leader of... Continue Reading →
Scariest Place in the Star Wars Universe
I love Star Wars, I have ever since I was a kid and saw the original trilogy on VHS for the first time with my grandma who was just as much a Sci-Fi nerd as myself. But one thing that really grips me about the Star Wars universe is the MASSIVE expanded universe that goes... Continue Reading →
Infinity War – Trailer Breakdown
So last week the Infinity War trailer dropped and I personally watched it about 6 times in 1 hour. I was blown away with it! Everything that Marvel has been leading up to since the introduction of Iron Man in 2008 has led to this. We know it's going to be a 2 part movie... Continue Reading →
Most Underrated Heroes Vol.5 – Daredevil
This month for my underrated Hero I decided to take a step back from anti-heroes and their magical kin and focus more on one of the most tortured heroes in Marvel comics, Daredevil. Daredevil shot to popularity with his introduction in and starting off the Marvel Netflix universe. While the series does a great job... Continue Reading →
