I've often said I'm not a fan of the X-Men's Cyclops. Well, not phrased like that: I usually refer to him as a colossal tool. He's a humorless toy soldier with a mutant-sized sense of over-responsibility; who constantly acts like the world would end if old One-Eye took his...eye off the ball. He's one of the bigger whiners about his mutant powers--I don't think Rogue complained as much as he did. Scott's...

Considering yesterday’s post on the Onion AV Club’s top 25 comics of the decade was a fairly important deal, I also wanted to direct your attention to another list that may have been overlooked: Christopher Bird, aka MightyGodKing, discussing 25 gateway comics for people. At this point I have honestly lost count of the number of [...]

When you think of the classic Marvel artists, you think of masters of the medium such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr, John Buscema, and Gene Colan. No wonder Marvel left all other American comics publishers in the dust. This coming February, Marvel Entertainment will honor one of those gentlemen by releasing The Invincible Gene Colan , a visual tribute and biography of one of the most...
