Marvel is in the spotlight of the next wave of superstar artists with a special set of Stormbreaker. A new class of variant covers will hit the shelves this October. Each of the eight newly announced Stormbreakers introduces their unique style by describing Marvel’s most iconic heroes in creative poses that come together to spell “Marvel25.” Here are the Stormbrakers this year: Alessandro Cappuccio (Moon Night, Ultimate Wolverine) Netho Diaz (Daredevil: Black Armor, X-Men) Simone Di Meo (Champion, X-Men of the Apocalypse) Juan Frigeri (Ultimates, Invincible Ironman) Grihill (Jeff, Jeff the Land Shark) Jonas Scharf (Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, Dark X-Men)…
At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, DC launched a massive celebration of 100 years of publication of the world’s largest superhero, kicking a decade-long tribute to the company’s legacy. This year’s focus was the golden age of comics that illuminated the spotlight between 1935 and 1945, but the DC booth offered more than a walkdown memory lane. Fans were treated to a free copy of the retro style Daily Planet newspaper filled with classic ads from DC’s archives. It doubled as a memorial and autograph book with famous creators such as Jim Lee, Tom King, Matt Fraction, Scott Snyder, Jeff Loeb…

In this week’s Wednesday Comics Reviews, books are either zooming down the track or looking deep into the abyss, with The War #1; I, Tyrant #1; Speed Racer #1; and more! Plus, The Prog Report returns! The War #1 Writer: Garth EnnisArtist: Becky CloonanColorist: Tamra BonvillainLetterer: Pat BrosseauPublisher: BOOM! Studios Review by Sean Dillon Originally serialized in the pages of Hello, Darkness, The War presents a vision of the present day on the brink of collapse as the Atom Bomb returns to the prominence of doomsday predictions. In many regards, The War is a work more in tune with Garth Ennis’ prior…
Novels, Manga, TV, Star Wars: High Republic – After years of storyline over Finale #1, it arrives with a quiet spit rather than a bang. Written by Cavan Scott and drawn by Marika Cresta and Jim Campbell, this one-shot comic serves as a capable farewell to this Star Wars era. The story offers emotional closure, but also backs off from offering a kind of clean-up beat that readers would expect from the pinnacle of such a vast initiative. Rather, this feels like an intimate gathering of friends. Wisely, this is set shortly after the collapse of Marchion RO and the…
During the halt, the anti-masismo sendup, a socially disabled central figure like Tiller Darden, with a bit of toxic masculinity fantasy taking place during the halt, first cast as a villain and later as fast stories, philosophy, and awful people. In the opening sequence, what stands in stasis is watching Riker stand up to a bar full of homophobic bikers. He does that in two ways. By exploiting the book’s central premise, by weaponizing the inherent wristbands that make central characters invincible and biker’s inherent bias against queer people. This sounds like a blushing sound at first and totally honorable.…
One of my favorite things about the comics is when a hero faces a villain he’s never faced before. Back in 1989 and 1990, Marvel performed one of the first huge crossovers, the “Act of Revenge.” There, most of the villains in the Marvel Universe worked together to defeat all of the Marvel heroes. Their strategy was for each villain to chase after a hero they’ve never fought before, which made it some interesting matchups. There were some rather biased battles (including Daredevil facing Ultron!) and some pretty epic things (Thor throws them away along with the Juggernaut), but they…
One of the most amazing nectines in one world under the Doom event must be the gods. The charming but short-lived gods of Jonathan Hickman and Valerio City get the opportunity to shine with Wynn and his disciple Mia in the pain of saving the world. The only hope for the entire solar system? Dr. Doom! As a big fan of the gods, it’s good to know Wynn, and this horn from Marvel hasn’t been forgotten, but the way this is written can be thought of as most people forget it or never read it at all. That’s because writer…
A new summer anthology is attacking the comic book stand today, titled DC’s Kal-El Fornia Love #1. Armed with eight stories, the comic celebrates summer and California and becomes one of DC Comics’ more unique anthology. It also has a good mix of characters, from Superman to Ice and everyone in between. The kickoff is “see the spot fly” by Brian Q. Miller and Gerald Sandoval. This story awaits the monster after Superman swallows Lois Lane. The visuals are super muscular and wonderful. The story is simple, with some dialogues lifting straight from popular films like Die Hard. It’s a…
