Spider-Man helped the Autobots fight the Decepticons!? Thanks to the first comic book series being produced by Marvel Comics, that very scenario did indeed occur. Currently, the Transformers franchise is easily recognized by fans worldwide, but it wasn’t always so. In the 1980s, Hasbro had the...
I want to share a secret with you about Indiana Jones comics. This is something you may or may not know. Some Indiana Jones comics are really very good. Others are not that great. That shouldn’t be too surprising since the original ‘Raiders of the Lost...
With all the attention on Jane Foster’s impending return to the silver screen as Thor, it’s important to not forget that Valkyrie is also returning. Notably missing from the events of Avengers: Infinity War, she should in theory get much more screen time in Thor: Love...

Why bet on a single character, when you can get three for the price of one? Such is the opportunity offered by DC Comics Presents #26, which has the first appearances of Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire. Few other key comic books contain the first appearance...
How is it possible, with so many DCEU movies already made, there has been no appearance of Darkseid yet? Strange as it sounds, we’ve gotten teased about upcoming Darkseid appearances and then disappointed time and again. That may soon change, but will the eventual appearance of...

Blade!!! Hulk #181!!! There may be a saturation of the same few characters and books. Maybe. Not that there’s anything wrong with having cake all the time, but let’s try a bit of something else. To shake things up and add a bit of variety, here...
