Daredevil Movie Casting Call by: Chris “DOC” Bushley
When Marvel announced the formation of their “Architects” to steer the company into the future, I was impressed with the virtual cornucopia of talent from all aspects of the Marvel U. These were the best of the best, creators at the pinnacle of their careers, but I always thought there was room for more, maybe
The crowd sends up a resounding cheer of, “Cold Snap, Cold Snap!” as Central City’s preeminent hero slides his way onto the scene. It seems Mr. Freeze has tread too far from Gotham this time, and will be taken down, once and for all, by one of the nation’s most beloved heroes – Citizen Cold!

Vampire Hunting: Judge Dredd Style

By: Lawrence Napoli

What has his “family”

Stoic stands the leader of the mutant race. Unwavering, as a yet unrevealed threat creeps ever forward. There will be a reckoning that will divide this newly re-formed family and Paul Jenkins brings us front and center for the "Schism." This is the best Cyclops-centric story I have ever read; he has finally become the
Issue nine of Remender's outstanding run, takes a break from the high octane, banter filled stories to give most of the team a well deserved breather – as I said – most of the team! With great trepidation, the team stays behind as Wolverine takes the spotlight and does a favor for none other than
The band of Bendis and Maleev is once again together to bring us a character that has had more re-launches than schizophrenic identities over the years.
