There’s nothing like a story that builds a wonderful world. A story in which every detail of the world feels concrete and attractive, and is invited to lose yourself on the panel and make you forget the real world around you for a short time. Valiant Beyond: Tales of the Shadowman #1 is written by AJ Ampadu as art by Sergio Monjes, and it is world-building at that level. It presents a new version of Shadowman that will instantly captivate you as part of the “Valiant Beyond” initiative from Valiant Comics and Alien Books. The issue of this premiere is…

Not for the timid people, these hot sauces lean on murder like the head of class sauce. Other sauces include “Saw Blade Special”, “Don’t Bear Your Head”, “Just Another Day in the…

It’s not the superhero movies of July this year, or July this year. Marvel Studios has tried his hand in the Fantastic Four movies of Matt Shakman’s Fantastic Four: First Steps Out Out Out and is taking part in the game at the end of the month. The trailer looks interesting to me. Their medieval retro future aesthetic reminded me a bit before the nuclear bombs fell on fallout. I think it’s a wise decision to make Fantastic Four an outdated piece. Even if it raises questions about their location in the wider MCU. They seem to draw inspiration from…

Why does the promotional art for the first step of Fantastic Four look so strange? The film is clearly trying to set a retro vibe, so some of the clumsiness is intentional, but some of it is really weird. When I saw this official Marvel promotion come out of the cover of a mock magazine, I thought it was a staple of all superhero movies. Some versions have no type. There are many mistakes in this. Putting aside what’s going on in Johnny’s pants, the blatant return of this broken, broken pose is extremely shocking. As we don’t forget, the…
