  • 4 Marvel “What If?” Comics that Actually Happened!

    You know that awkward moment when Marvel’s been around so long that some of their “What If?” stories start making it into the canon?

    Let’s take, for instance, what if Captain America had been elected President of the United States? You mean, like in the Ultimate Comics United We Stand arc?

    How about this one: What if Hulk had become a barbarian? Can someone say Skaar, son of Hulk!? Because I sure can!

    Ooh, I got one: What if Spider-Man’s clone lived! No, but Ben Reilly got hit by the Goblin’s glider and turned to dust! There’s no way he can come back from that! You know, unless Miles Warren gathers the dust and revives and kills Ben repeatedly until he breaks free and becomes the new Jackal.

    This can’t be! How many more? Is Marvel really making comics out of “What If” stories? Okay, here’s one they could never have done! What if… stay with me now… what if somehow Jane Foster became Thor! Yeah, because that could never happen.

    I’m out True Believers. I’ll see you in the Multiverse. Unbelievable…

  • Welcome to Marvel City

    Hasbro, eat your heart out! Welcome to the future! Welcome, to Marvel City! I had time, I was bored, so why not?

    Looks like All-New, All-Different Spider-Man has a bird’s eye of the entire scene below!

    A city of heroes…

    Bound by honor…

    To protect it at all costs!

    Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty and the First Avenger, never relents in the fight against the forces of HYDRA!

    Black Bolt has something to say, and when he talks, people listen!

    Wasp patrols the skies, while Thor summons strength from Odin in Asgard above! And Star-Lord’s always ready for action! But where’d his tunes go?

    Of course, no one stands a chance when Iron Man and War Machine team up to take down the bad guys!

    Lifelong friends Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel are two women you DO NOT want to mess with! Unless you want a venom blast and a cosmic punch to the face! And is that Vision phasing through the ground behind them?

    Speaking of Venom, what rock did this Sinister Symbiote crawl from under?

    Falcon soars high, but a particularly sneaky Black Cat gets away with some pilfered goods! Oh Felicia, will you ever learn?

    By the Ruby Rings of the Crimson Bands of the Hoary Hosts… Whatever! Doctor Strange is here to make with the hocus pocus!

    Black Widow gives Hawkeye a lift on her sweet ride, they always worked better as a team! Let’s just hope that Ms. Marvel can stop fangirling long enough to Embiggen!

    ‘Ol J. Jonah Jameson isn’t too happy with all these superheroes tearing things up outside of Bugle offices! It doesn’t help that Giant-Man is mocking him either…

    There are tales… legends of a Spirit of Vengeance… The Ghost Rider, making the best of a deal with the devil!

    What did Deadpool get himself into this time? Maybe a certain Infinity Gauntlet-wielding Mad Titan wasn’t too fond of Lady Death’s fascination with this clown…

    Looks like the newest Spider-Man on the block, Miles Morales, snagged a classic Spidey baddy, the Shocker! Great job Miles!

    Meanwhile, the Immortal Iron Fist has engaged the terrible Taskmaster in combat! Don’t use your best moves Danny, you know he can copy them!

    Storm and Silk watch over the city, a valiant long-time member of the X-Men, and a Spider trying to find her place in the world after 10 years away…

    Bravery is not measured in size, and Rocket and Baby Groot prove that throwing down with one of the biggest Marvel villains out there, the Rhino!

    But there are always bigger Marvel villains, lurking in the distance…

    But here to protect his city is none other than Daredevil! Keeping a watchful… ear, from above! And Spider-Gwen aka Ghost Spider doesn’t look stressed, she’s listening to the latest hit from her band the Mary Janes! Wait… there’s Star-Lord’s tunes! Dang it Gwen!

    But down below, titans clash, as Hulk pins down one of his worst foes, the Abomination!

    This Marvel power couple knows no bounds, Cyclops and Phoenix are always here to save the day, and mutant-kind!

    And bow down (wait, they don’t do that there…) for the King of Wakanda, Black Panther! With Okoye by his side, nothing’s getting past him! Wakanda forever!

    So there you have it. Heroes…

    That swore to fight.

    To stand for justice.

    To Assemble. In our darkest hours.

    And to let us know, that they will always be here.

     

     

  • Marvel Problems #006

    I mean, I can’t be the only one, right? Especially when she starts flirting (or not, since Cap’s seen it up close and that wasn’t it) with Bruce at the bar in Avengers Tower. That and the ‘missed my window’ shower scene at the Barton farm just, I don’t know, unsettles me. It’s awkward, weird, cringe worthy, definitely forced, had no payoff in Infinity War,  and every single time the ‘Bru-tasha’ scenes come up, I either fast-forward, or go do something else until it’s over.

  • Thor Ragnarok Trailer #SDCC

    I honestly cannot get enough of this trailer! I have to break it down in bullet points, there’s no other way, so here we go:

    • Hulk v.s Thor! The fight on the Helicarrier in The Avengers was merely a taste of what it looks like we’re getting here!

    • Good to see ‘ol Bruce Banner back! It’s kind of great to watch a man of science flying a spaceship and simply having a blast. Also, even Banner knows Thor beating Hulk is kind of BS! One question though, did Banner pack clothes before he went to Sakaar, or…

    • Hulk Smash! Is it me, or does he look more like Ultimate Hulk? A bit of a longer neck, a haircut, those bead necklaces, totally screams Ultimate Hulk. And hey, he’s literate! Considering that Hulk spoke more words in this trialer than in the entire MCU, which up to this point has consisted of: “Leave me alone”, “Betty”, “Hulk Smash”, and “Puny God”.

    • Skurge the Executioner, it looks like they’re skipping the ax and going straight for the guns (which is disappointing because I wanted to see Hulk relieve him of his ax Earth’s Mightiest Heroes style). Although he’s following Hela around like he would Amora the Enchantress, but this movie has enough characters in it, adding her might have been a bit much. I guess Skurge just has a thing for chicks in green.

    • Hela herself looks great. I like that she forms her headdress kind of like Loki in The Avengers. She seems really frightening, reveling in death, chasing after Thor and Loki in the Bifrost, conjuring swords from midair, taking on the Valkyrie! I mean, dang girl.

    • Speaking of the Valkyrie, is was kind of underwhelmed by Brunhilde’s look in the first trailer, but when I got a glimpse of her riding that winged horse, her blue cape blowing in the wind, I got chills, so it’s good to see that she actually armors up and doesn’t stick with that Sakaar look the entire time. But seriously, that army of Valkyrie v.s Hela, I can’t wait!

    • Dang Loki. I hate Loki. But he’s back, and Thor is trusting him… again. To quote the guy: “Will you ever not fall that?”

    • Was that the Fenrir Wolf! Fighting Hulk!!!

    • Why is poor Hogun facing off against Hela alone! I mean, he’s got an army of Einherjar behind him, but clearly that doesn’t work out too well. Where’s Fandral? Volstagg? Did Hela already get to them!

    • Heimdall finally off the dang bridge and in on the action!

    • Thor bringing the lighting without the hammer? Ooohhhh buddy! That was the money shot right there!

    • Who’s the big fiery guy? Oh well, must not be important. NOT! Freaking Surtur! Fighting the Hulk!!! Yes! I am so ready for this movie!!!

    Thor Ragnarok comes out November 3!

  • Marvel Powers United VR #D23

    Well what a nice surprise! Bill Rosemann, the head of Marvel Games (aka a guy who has done more work in the past few months than in his entire career at Marvel) announced at D23 a new exclusive, Marvel Powers United VR! Markiplier was there and everything. This game is exclusive for the Oculus Rift+Touch (which means I should probably re-label my ‘PlayStation VR’ money jar) and, so far, features Captain Marvel (heart eyes emoji), Hulk, and Rocket Raccoon. Here’s a trailer:

    I could have sworn from the colors she was wearing that girl was going to transform into Black Widow. But that aside, this looks great! And I’m not just saying that. Every time I see VR it looks choppy and awkward, but I’ve come to accept that because I honestly didn’t think it could get any better. But this looks fluid, and responsive. When ‘ol Markiplier was playing it, it really seemed like he was Hulk smashing some Kree goons.

    The story apparently consists of Ronan the Accuser (hence the Kree) and the Masters of Evil (isn’t Falcon going to fight those guys in Episode 2 of Sam Says! Sorry, shameless plug, I regret nothing) getting their hands on the Tesseract and tearing apart time and space. Luckily Lockjaw is there to help them teleport around this mess!

    They promised more characters and multiplayer, which we actually saw in action, so I really am looking forward to this. I normally don’t look twice at VR projects (except that Spider-Man Homecoming one), but this has my undivided attention! What about you guys? Are you gonna buy a Oculus Rift for this? Lef me know down below!
