Remember when I told you to start collecting the first appearance of Lady Thor? Now 2014's Thor #1 is about to jump in value courtesy of today's San Diego Comic-Con panel. Two months ago, I predicted that with the many hints and...
It’s a pity Bill Foster’s role in the Marvel movies didn’t see him in action in the Black Goliath costume. Further disappointing is his absence during Captain America: Civil War, as his death by the hands of a Thor-cyborg proved pivotal in the comics’ Civil War...
There's so much talk of X-Men in the MCU and casting choices that it's bound to impact the market for all things mutant, especially the holy Wolverine trinity of Hulk #180-182. (Spoiler alert: they're getting more expensive.) The X-Men are swarming the mainstream media. There's the endless...

Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Surfer has been a fan favorite since his first appearance in the pages of the Fantastic Four in 1966. At some point we know that Marvel's sky-rider of the space-ways will join the MCU; when that happens his...

Marvel has just confirmed that Taika Waititi and Chris Helmsworth (among others) will return for 'Thor 4'. The news comes from a source at the Hollywood Reporter (see here), and will most likely be publicly announced at the quickly approaching San Diego Comic Con. What does...
