No mutant or Inhuman is safe in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now.

Medusa’s sister Crystal is making a big comeback as leader of the All-New Inhumans. Marvel calls Crystal’s team “part diplomatic emissaries, part strike force” and will protect their race “by any means necessary.”

The former Avengers is demonstrating her elemental powers to some new enemies in new preview art from the first chapter. Continue reading ALL-NEW INHUMANS Preview

Marvel’s WHAT IF? series make a huge cosmic comeback this Fall.

INFINITY is one of Marvel’s biggest, game-changing events of recent years during Jonathan Hickman’s first year on the AVENGERS. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes went into space to stop an alien army from destroying the planet. While the Avengers were away, Thanos invaded, leading to the Mighty Avengers stepping up and Black Bolt unleashing Terrigenesis and a new generation of Inhumans.

Now Joshua Williamson shows us a complete different outcome: Green Goblin holding the Infinity Gauntlet? Thanos wielding Captain America’s shield?

Here’s the official announcement: Continue reading MARVEL Asks WHAT IF INFINITY WAR

You could call Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season Two a mother of a mashup of monsters, myths and family matters. Multiple story arcs came together in an intense, action and twist packed finale that sets the stage for even bigger battles on the show in on the big screen.

The fates of Skye and Raina.

The truth about Skye’s mother. Let’s hope the movie Inhhumans are a little nicer!

Why Mockingbird and Lance Hunter are not getting their own spinoff.

Oh yeah and payback for Ward!

And that cliffhanger?!

The Inhumans declared war on S.H.I.E.L.D. in a satisfying payoff to a much improved second season with more emotional stakes but we’re left with burning questions. Continue reading AGENTS OF SHIELD VS INHUMANS BURNING QUESTIONS

Free Comic Book Day is almost here. This unofficial geek holiday is like Christmas and your local comic book shop and major publishers are Santa Claus and his elves.

The first Saturday in May is when you can pick up FREE comic books. Different stores have different rules.
