This week we’re definitely nerds as George Buza, the legendary voice of X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men ’97 Beast! We talk about everything he’s returned to the role and dive into beauty and Beast #2, where the short-lived romance of Beast and Dazzler brings a wild turn to gladiator-style chaos.George, voiced the voice of his time, is something like returning to the X-Men universe after all these years, and about the complicated, brilliant, highly cited Hank McCoy. We share our thoughts. X-Men: If the animated series was a central part of your childhood (or be your whole personality), you…
So far, one hell has been, Absolute Wonder Woman is one of the best DC comics on the shelf, if not the best.

In this interview, she discusses her approach to writing Wonder Woman, the challenges of working with such a rich history, as well as the book’s themes and what fans can…
There are two universal truths in today’s rapidly changing comic industry. The first is that Valentine’s Day has just passed. Second, more people than ever read comics and Webtoons (aka vertical scrolling comics). Therefore, in Comic Beat, we continue to have a strange romance of Beat. Every week, I recommend three writers some of their favorite comic romances from Japan, Korea and more. This week there are more clamps, more Yuri, and of course games.

When the Umbrella Academy TV adaptation arrived on Netflix in 2018, fans meant (or at least we were hoping) that the comic would return from creator Gerard Wayand Gabriel Bá on a more regular schedule. .

The Netflix series ended with its fourth season last summer, so fans are wondering about the future of oddball superheroes. Today we finally got the answer. A variety of exclusively, the miniseries entitled Umbrella Academy: Plan B was published by Dark…
After an endless crisis and a year later, the goal of the two major Batman books was to submit two huge names to write the title. The first is the name you are probably still running the run you’re reading regularly. You may have worked your way for many years, starting with collaborations with Dave McKean from your collaboration with Arkham Asylum. Some of Grant Morrison’s execution is a highly rereadable and enduring highlight of Batman mythology. Another big name is probably more related to Animation and his writing for the Batman: Animation series. Certainly, this is great because comics…
Just under a week after our deep dive into Venom Unleashed #3, we’re back with a new edition—and this time, we’re shifting gears from All-New Venom to something even darker, bloodier, and more chaotic: Eddie Brock: Carnage.The Venom mythos has always been defined by evolution, and few characters embody that better than Eddie Brock. From vengeful rival to reluctant antihero to cosmic warrior, Eddie’s journey has taken him across every corner of the Marvel Universe. But his latest chapter? It’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. Bonded to the Carnage symbiote—the very embodiment of chaos and brutality—Eddie is walking a razor’s…
Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary this week filled the culture’s airwaves, including Saturday nights, which included a rerun of the first episode of 1975. .

They were almost forgotten so I introduced Andy Kaufman in a…
