Vampirella is one of those offbeat horror heroes. Not really an anti-hero and yet definitely no villain. She has superhuman strength, can fly and turn into a giant bat. Her background is a twist on the old Dracula myth. Apparently, Dracula was from Vampira's homeworld; ready for...
Comics are great collectibles, they bring joy into millions of lives, are simply fun to read and can even make you money. The great comic book hunt for that elusive issue is the fun part. Finding that recent variant copy that has been mismarked in...
Marvel has been on a roll lately with great Netflix series and top hit movies. That is why it is such a shame that Iron Fist has been left out of the success of the other shows like Daredevil and Luke Cage. It simply doesn't fly in...
