comics

From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.

Smallville
With about a thousand adaptations of Superman in existence there is always plenty of talk around the fans of DC about which is the best. The reality of the situation is that there are many good adaptations but none as good, or as thorough as Smallville. The 2001 live action series set the bar high for all superhero media to come and yet none have lived up to the incredible nature of Smallville.

In Loving Memory Of Jason David Frank
On this day 20th, November a great actor and man died they haven't given the cause of death. Some are assuming suicide. Jason David Frank for his role as the Green Range, White Ranger, Black Ranger, and in the works on YouTube for the Legend of the White Dragon. His many roles will always be simply Tommy Oliver to me.

Why The Thunderbolts Deserve Our Respect.
For MCU fans, the big name on everyone's mind is Kang The Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). They're desperate to learn how the megalomaniac villain factors in Quantumania, Kang Dynasty, and Secret Wars, eagerly awaiting every new clue that crops up. Teases thus far mirror the buildup to Thanos (Josh Brolin) in the Infinity Saga, showing how pivotal a character this villain will become. Kang, however, isn't the only Phase 5 antagonist worth acknowledging.

The Long History of Character Swiping in Comics
If you're a comics fan, or just the big and small screen adaptations, you've likely seen the preview images for the "Black Panther" sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," or you've seen the film. If you have, you've seen the widely discussed and semi-controversial reveal that Namor the Sub-Mariner, one of Marvel's first characters, is in the film. For some fans, this is a moment to celebrate. Wakanda is on the screen again, and Namor will be in a film for the first time. However, other fans are cringing. Why?

Wakanda Forever is a movie about saying goodbye to loved ones while learning to heal and how, sometimes, through our pain, we come out stronger and find our purpose.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie Review
Marvel’s Black Panther drew a ton of fanfare in 2018, being widely praised for its blend of tradition and historical trappings. Following the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda Forever was forced to strike out in a different direction. Luckily, Ryan Coogler and company have crafted an enjoyable follow-up that makes the most of the remaining pieces.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
I got the pleasure of seeing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on opening night and I did in fact cry like a little bitch baby within the first 30 seconds. It was an incredibly emotional, heartfelt and touching tribute to Chadwick Boseman and it was genuinely the most incredible Marvel movie for one simple reason, it didn’t feel like a Marvel movie.

Vampires Endurance in Hollywood
So we’ve talked about the stories that have a chokehold on both Hollywood and society but the most enduring subject of media is vampires. Inspiring both television and film vampires insight into possibly the most amount of projects ever produced. It's also one of the few subjects that spans demographics; ordinarily associated with teenage girls (thanks to things like Twilight and Vampire Diaries), grown men also find entertainment in vampire stories (Dracula and Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Black Panther Wakanda Forever Review: Ryan Coogler Delivers The Best MCU Film of Phase 4
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Even before we see the first frame of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it is clear that the film is a tribute to Chadwick Boseman. The actor, who played Marvel’s original Black Panther, is ever-present in the film in spirit. And Ryan Coogler’s film beautifully pays tribute to the late actor in perhaps the best way a film can.

Marvel gave Namor a goatee, I don’t like it, the musical
Marvel, Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. Let’s talk, let’s be straight with each other we owe ourselves that much. We’ve had some good times, some really good times. You’ve been strong in my life for over a decade now and I know you’re always gonna be there for me in some form or another, but lately, you seem a little ‘off’. Nothings truly been bad (I didn’t hate Eternals sue me) but it hasn’t quiet been the caliber we’re used to. Is the MCU getting too big for ya? Actors aging out too fast? Feige can’t keep track of all the properties under the same roof? You can tell me it’s alright. You’re not doing bad yet, but you’re really just not doing great.
