The fan-favorite cartoon, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, focused on Aang, the last surviving member of the Air Nomads who sets out on an epic journey to end […]

The Bill & Ted comics by Evan Dorkin – originally published by Marvel Comics, then Slave Labor and then Boom Studios – are one of those rarest of beasts, an adaptation that is as good as the original.

Dark Horse Comics has issued their solicitations for August 2020 – though forgive them if you recognise most of everything in here.
