Back during the Schism, the beginning of Marvel's attempts to assassinate the character of Cyclops, Wolverine gave Cyclops a lot of crap about putting kids in danger… but after the events of Uncanny X-Men #12, Wolverine apparently can't even keep track of the multi-eyed mutant girl the X-Men rescued from O.N.E.: You think?! Maybe you should[...]

The sliding scale of Marvel's timeline has long been a subject of intense scrutiny In order to keep their characters within the precise age range considered by corporate bean counters to be the ideal for marketing synergy, none of the events that occurred in past Marvel stories can be locked to any specific point in[...]

heroes super-mega-crossover event, but when everyone still knows your identity when that event and its sweer sales boosts have been left behind, what are you supposed to do then? In Spider-Man's case, he got Doctor Strange to cast a spell to magic away his big Civil War reveal (this is a pattern for Spider-Man), making everyone[...]

After riding high on joining the Avengers and punching out a celestial, Robbie was caught up in War of the Vampires, a storyline meant to kill the time until War of the Realms kicks off so Marvel can really sell some super-mega-crossover event tie-ins Robbie has been transformed into a rampaging beast by the vampires,[...]

Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel might be the strongest character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but that doesn't mean she is perfect For actress Brie Larson, as she told CinemaBlend, it's Carol's flaws that make her a great character. I love that she's flawed I love the fact that because she's a risk taker, you watch[...]

Entertainment Weekly pitted the two Captain Marvel co-stars against each other and had them do dramatic readings of iconic lines from the other person's career It's pretty entertaining to watch and the fact that Larson and Jackson seem to really get along helps move everything along nicely. Watch #CaptainMarvel stars @BrieLarson and @SamuelLJackson take a crack[...]

One of the things about Captain Marvel that makes it interesting is that we're exploring a time period in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that we've never seen before There are huge sections of history in this world, rather recent history we might add, where we don't know what was going on There has been exactly[...]

Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B Cebulski and Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada are heading to Austin, Texas for the South by Southwest festival next week, and they plan to host a panel which will show how all of the success Marvel has had in markets far more lucrative than comics — movies, TV shows, video games —[...]

Marvel has heard the complaints levied by Brian Hibbs about their abuse of the variant cover gimmick (amongst other things) to extract more money from existing readers rather than trying to sell actual comics to new readers, and they have responded with… more variants! Hey, Marvel is nothing if not consistent, right? First up, two variants for[...]

leadership and a decline in disapproval, a change which we can only conclude is inextricably linked to Marvel's relaunch of the legendary comic book series, Uncanny X-Men. Think about it U.S approval ratings were near a ten-year high when Uncanny X-Men Volume 4 was being published in 2016, but things fell apart when the series was[...]

The Marvel Cinematic Univers made the jump to the small screen in 2013 with Agents of SHEID There have been plenty of shows in the last six years but there is one thing almost all of them have in common; they are in the Marvel universe but in name only Agents of SHIELD became a[...]

Award-winning and highly flammable horror novelist Brian Keene is teasing a new comic book project on Twitter today, to be announced tomorrow, and our best guess based on the clues is that it's a project for Marvel Comics Keene, who occasionally moonlights from his lucrative career in "real books" to slum it in the comics business,[...]

Surprising no one, Clark Gregg is just as big of a fanboy as his Marvel Studios counterpart, Agent Phil Coulson MCU aficionados will no doubt recall the numerous mentions of Coulson's love of Captain America (his cards, in mint condition even!), which make the reveal of Gregg's real-life fandom of a Marvel Character even better. Clark[...]

If there is one thing Marvel can do at this point it's stop showing people new footage from Captain Marvel We're a little over a week away from the release date so they might as well pump the breaks on the new footage That doesn't mean they should stop promoting the movie but there is[...]

And therefore, it's his chance to take control of his own destiny in a way that he's never been able to do, and I was kind of attracted to that idea that he was able to have his final place in the world without anybody saying so. And of course, we are talking about a Marvel[...]

It seems even Marvel can fall prey to their own hype machine For months we didn't know the title for the upcoming Avengers: Endgame and anytime someone asked a person at Marvel would say that they couldn't tell us because it was a spoiler We all sat on the edges of our seats for months[...]

The promo for Captain Marvel continues Today, we have another new TV spot and this one is so gloriously '90s that it makes us smile The marketing seems to be really leaning into the fact that this movie takes place in the '90s which makes for some stuff to watch This time we get to[...]

Fans of Marvel mutant Sage were happy to see the character make her return to the X-Men comics in Uncanny X-Men #10 Unfortunately, that happened to be the final issue of the X-Men Disassembled storyline, and all of the X-Men were transported to an alternate universe Bad luck. But Sage will be back, and in the[...]

And by top scientists, of course we mean real-life Marvel villain Elon Musk. "Now the magic metal from Wakanda might not exist, but real-life vibranium does," Rebecca wrote on the C.I.A.'s website, something that costs actual tax dollars to maintain "Hyperloop Transportation Technologies engineers working on making Elon Musk's Hyperloop are inventing a new material they[...]
