Hancock Could’ve Started Comic Book Franchise.

OK, so no film on the horizon. How about comics or an animated series? Something to keep the world of Hancock alive. When the film ended, it left things pretty open for John and Mary? A TV series would’ve been incredible but could you get Smith and Theron to commit to filming seasons of TV?

Who knows, maybe we could see a Hancock sequel get picked up by Netflix down the line. I mean, Netflix hasn’t yet and the film came out in 2008 but impossible things have happened before.

Solo Leveling Is A Must Read For Gamers.

I’ll admit, it’s not the deepest, most life-changing series out there but it is one the most fun and exciting ones. Check out Solo Leveling and let me know what you think of it. Also, a small favor for our readers: if you read comics like this or anything isekai shonen—let a brother know in the comments or hit me up. I’m really on this kick right now.

Explaining The World of Judge Dredd.

Remember, 2000 A.D debuted in 1977 so the Russians were still considered extremely scary. Texas City—or Mega-City Three—is one of America’s biggest cities following the Atomic Wars of 2070. It is connected to MC1 by the Great Road. Texas City takes up Texas and a good deal of the midsouth, southwest, and mid-west regions of the U.S.

Put Freakazoid in DC Comics.

Put my man Freakazoid in DC Comics. He doesn’t need a whole comic; I’d settle for anything more than a cameo. Put in the Justice League. Yes, the Justice League, an organization—like the Avengers—with more members than there are Wu-Tang affiliates.

A Look at Shaolin Cowboy.

Of course, the first few issues—one through seven—explain more but the bigger buzz was around this collection which came out years after the first run. Unless you’re just really familiar with Darrow’s work or a fan of him, you couldn’t be blamed for coming in thinking this is where everything started if you picked up the graphic novel.

Character Spotlight: Cyclops.

I loved this because it opened Cyclops up for other writers and escalated into Cyclops killing Xavier and Cyc getting a mixed reaction. Is he a villain and Criminal or is he right? To a degree, Cyclops becomes the present generation of mutants’ Magneto.

Support Black Creators Only If You Dig Their Stuff.

Ultimately, support Black creators if you dig their stuff. You’re not obligated to support their stuff just because you’re also Black or brown. You can also dig a Black Ariel and support Black creators. Hell, people have listened to underground artists for years while also enjoying mainstream artists.

Masks: The OGs of Superheroes.

Despite this, Dynamite Entertainment did deliver on several comics and mini-series based around this same crew of heroes. If you’d like something different and drenched in comic book history, give the 8-issue mini-series Masks a read.

That Time Malibu Did Gaming Comics.

Meanwhile, Malibu had several universes of characters and series that didn’t really get the same attention and won’t because Marvel isn’t in any hurry to bring those characters back.

Introducing: The Savage Dragon.

More mature than Marvel; less pretentious than Vertigo. The kind of comics (he wants) to read. (The) book is really self-indulgent.”
