Party Like It's 1991

Remember Darkhawk? The most 1990s of 1990's characters, his early appearances are seeing a resurgence as of late, and he's not alone, either. The '90s are coming back, and I'm not just talking about the explosion of variants. It's hard to mistake a '90s comic. Every guy...

Angela: the character who has crossed not only the cosmos but also between publishing houses. How did she go from being an Image mainstay to Marvel Comics 20 years later and what could the future hold for her?  Angela received the royal treatment when she emerged...

Carnage or Red Goblin?

Remember last summer when the market lost its collective mind over Carnage? Of course you do. Guess what? They've actually gone up. (Thanks for that, Red Goblin.) But we haven't seen the real Carnage boom just yet.  This time last year, Sony had Venom fans completely...
