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?...

(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,...

We finally have our first look at The Batman and it’s safe to say that director Matt Reeves’ new take on the Dark Knight isn’t quite what most of us expected. Introducing a messier and scrappier vigilante than past iterations of the character, the Batman reboot seems to play more like the Bat’s extended fever dream of a city hellscape haunted by serial killers, crime lords, and master thieves than a traditional superhero action movie. And the trailer shows us just how he deals with these demons, as he beats the living crap out of goons, smashes his Batmobile through the city streets, and looks hella miserable while doing it.
If, after watching the movie’s first trailer, you didn’t get the sense that Robert Pattinson’s Batman resembled the image of the hero you know and love, this is by design, according to the director.

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...

When longtime comic book collectors fondly reminisce the 1990’s, something that may very well come up is that of WildStorm. Serving as a testament to the prolific career of the legendary Jim Lee, the imprint was actually started while he was still working at Image – a company he co-founded, mind you – before becoming a part of DC in 1999.
In short order, the label enthralled readers with original properties such as WildCATs, Stormwatch and The Authority. Or, if that didn’t do it for you, perhaps you dug their A Nightmare on Elm Street or Resident Evil tie-ins, the latter of which was especially meaningful to me because it was one of the survival horror franchise’s first ventures outside of the video game medium.
But, as you know, all good things must come...

Another week means another issue of Earth 2: World’s End and while the chance for this series to be anything beyond cheap tie-in material to DC’s Convergence event has long passed by, this issue is a shocking improvement to what has usually be a painful slog to read. It’s true that this series has made the terrible decision to split art duties between plotlines instead of individual issues such as with Futures End and Batman Eternal, but for once this series does something that resembles competence.
The story this week is surprisingly better focused than the series has been thus far.

Published by DC Comics
If there’s one way that World’s End in any way thematically follows Earth 2, it’s that the world is perpetually on the verge of complete destruction. The ungodly battle between the Furies of Apokolips and the Earth Avatars might be over but that doesn’t mean anyone, even the audience is spared. Now the heroes face the unironically named Deathspawn, a monster with the power to kill the very heart of Earth 2. Big Barda leads an assault into the last remaining human outpost with an army of “proto-Furies” naturally they’re an army of faceless minions that have never been foreshadowed in anyway, because that would involve effort.

Published by DC Comics
Another week means another issue of Earth 2: World’s End, the series that would have been cancelled by now if it didn’t tie into Convergence. The odd thing to talk about this time around turns out that this entry is considerably better than the rest of the series as of yet. The title is still little more than a shameless cash grab as DC wrings what little money they can out of what’s left of Earth 2. However, when an issue of World’s End manages to just be middle of the road instead of painful to read, something’s changed.
That change is that, for at least this issue, World’s End...

Another week, another issue of Earth 2: World’s End. Without repeating too much from any of last weeks’ reviews, the art is rushed and poorly organized, Dick Grayson’s segments are a particular eye sore, items and characters can acquire powers or abilities with no explanation, few characters have under gone any significant character change, the battle between the planetary forces of Earth and Apokolips has been going on for eight issues now and is more like a terrible fight scene from Dragonball Z, and despite being half way through the book’s run, very little has been accomplished.

After a surprisingly pleasant side step last week, Earth 2: World’s End returns to form with scatter shot story and a ten member art team. It’s quite the loss as last issue was a much better paced and tightly focused read and now once again the audience is subjected to a confused mess of a plot with changing art every two to four pages.
Incidentally, there are some over all improvements. The lesser artists mostly focused on the Flash/Hawkgirl storyline has been replaced with someone far more competent. The pencils and inks all look more like real people instead of melted action figures. However that...

Earth 2: World’s End rounds out its first month with issue #4 so how does it fare so far? If there’s one way to describe this week, it’s that while it still suffers from a story stretched between its massive cast and how every three pages has its own art team, it still comes out on top with an interesting story.
What helps the most this issue is the shift of story from Earth 2’s Superman and Batman families to the war with Apokolips on a grander scale. The characters who take up the spotlight are the leaders of the World Army: Mr. Terrific and Terry Sloane,...

A while back, I posted a theory that Captain America: The Winter Soldier is greatly influenced by a 1988 six issue miniseries, Nick Fury vs S.H.I.E.L.D., written by Bob Harras and Paul Neary. To sum up a long story, S.H.I.E.L.D. is infiltrated by an outside, malevolent force that corrupts its policies and practices in such a covert manner that only Nick Fury realizes what is happening. We don't know for sure yet, but it appears that something of that ilk may be happening on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and in the Russo Bros.' Captain America sequel. Clevver Movies spoke to Mulvey about his Marvel role (he plays Jack Rollins, a central S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent in the 1998 comic book story), as well as his role in 300: Rise of an Empire. Mulvey's career is definitely trending in the right direction.

Andrew counts down Doctor Who's 10 best Cyberman stories from across the TV series, audio dramas and comic strips...
Cybermen; Doctor Who's other monster. The one no-one knows quite what to do with, who show glimpses of what they can do, but don't look like dislodging the upper echelon from its perch.
They're Arsenal, basically. What is Nightmare in Silver if not Mehmet Ozil? A big name attached with lots excitement generated, and sure there are some clever ideas, but ultimately it's not what was necessary. I'd apologise to Arsenal fans but what are they going to do? Throw a trophy at me?
Like the Cybermen presumably do between their on-screen appearances, the writers will be heading back to the drawing board to discuss what they've learned. Meanwhile, here's our list of the top ten Cybermen stories across the entirety of Doctor Who.
