Conan The Avenger
In 2018, Marvel Comics announced that it had reacquired the rights to publish and print comic books based on the works of Robert E. Howard, namely Conan the Barbarian. Along with relaunching previous 70’s ongoing titles Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan, the Cimmerian made an official, canon jump to the mainstream Marvel Universe (Earth-616). First appearing in the event miniseries Avengers: No Road Home, Conan has continued to appear as the central character in both the Savage Avengers ongoing series and the Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown miniseries.

The Yellow Flick Road
If I was a conspiracy theorist (and I’m not, because that’s what they want us to believe), I would say that 20-Century Fox has it in for any positive black male role model, and that is why they never survive in an X-Men film. In contrast, The MCU has cultivated several black men as heroes – James Rhodes or Rhodey, Sam Wilson aka Falcon, and T’Challa the Black Panther, and the DCCU has several as well, albeit not as pristine – Victor (Cyborg) Stonex, Deadshot, they even kept Black Manta ALIVE – the XCU goes out of its way to discard the smattering of black men they have loitering about. Korath the Persuer, by the way. Djimon Honsou? Amistad? (I forgot about Heimdall in the video. Sorry Idris Elba).

Video From Marvel Entertainment Showcases Top Moments From 'Agents of SHIELD' To Commemorate The Series' End
Last week, viewers tuned in to see the series finale of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, which ran from 2013 to 2020. Surely, very few would have predicted this show lasting a whopping seven seasons. (Speaking for myself, I expected five at most, and I was totally wrong.) The show started off simply as a tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Over time, it stopped tying in as much and became more of its own thing. Some fans have had their issues with the show, but it maintained its own following over the years.

Updated Report on Production Restart For 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' 'Hawkeye,' and 'Loki'
Can you hear that sound, my fellow slates of culture? Yes, it is indeed an update on one of our favorite high-grossing franchises, which is aptly named the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, this time around, it is some slightly dour news, as reports of three productions have been halted due to the unavoidable news that is the current pandemic. With the famous "Infinity Saga" bringing about the story arc end **SPOILERS** of both Iron Man and Captain America, we the audience were going to be treated with Black Widow, but it was pushed back to November. Playing a pseudo domino effect on the franchise as it were, this has resulted in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and Loki all to being delayed.
