My buddy Rickman
When people think of comic book writers, most people think of people like Stan Lee, Frank Miller and Jim Lee. However, comic book writers can be found just about everywhere. This is the story of one of these artists in particular. This is the story of Rickman and how he became one of my good friends and people I idolize.

Dnaleri
Ch-15 Jacob stood back in stunned silence. The two young women clung to each other tightly, trying to speak but were sobbing too much. When they finally pulled away to look at each other, Rebecca was stunned at the beautiful young woman before her. Her smile showed pearly white teeth and made her forest-green eyes shine. Her purple-black hair had grown long, the few strands that had come loose from her tight updo braid fell in elegant waves down to her mid-back and her simple wardrobe accentuated her curvy figure. Heather had changed, but Rebecca could still see the young friend she knew many years ago. Rebecca didn’t know what to say, her mouth stuttering to say something meaningful but only nonsense came out. Heather giggled and said softly,

Secret X-Men #1
Here’s my issue with X-men comics as of late: there’s too much going on. Sue me…but also stay with me here. With so many series branching from X-men and the co-mingling of Devil’s Reign, there’s just too much story going on for me and I simply can’t keep up. What’s even worse is that the comics all inform each other, making it so that even if you religiously read every issue in a run, you will still get treated like a newbie comic virgin that gets backhanded by a deep reference into obscure canonical events from branching series. This happens and it infuriates me. I can’t afford to buy everything that gets put out pertaining to the world of X-men! Just write a single, fun storyline that doesn’t have as many layers as a club sandwich does.

Top 10 'Calvin and Hobbes' Comics
There have been countless newspaper comic strips throughout the years. Some of culture's most influential properties have come from the morning comics, such as Garfield, The Far Side, and, the most famous of all, Peanuts. However, even Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and all of his friends pale in comparison to the greatest of all of these, Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Released between November 18, 1985, and December 31, 1995, the comic strip about a boy and his stuffed tiger had great characters, hilarious humor, thought-provoking messages, and an analysis of society that is still applicable today. Over twenty-six years since the last strip came out, it still holds up just as well now as it ever did. It holds up well enough that it is worth looking into the top ten Calvin and Hobbes comic strips.

Finding a New Home
An MCU movie releases and the rumours fly! We’ve heard two major things, 1) Tom is signed on for 3 more movies and immediately after that we heard 2) That Tom was stepping away from the role and taking a break. Now the more likely option is that he is in fact signed on for more movies, there is so much more that I would love to see from Tom’s spiderman and I think that No Way Home set him up perfectly for not only more character development but also bringing in more of the Spider-verse characters into the MCU. Tom has been pushing hard for either some of the Spider woman and/or Miles Morales, here's hoping that we see both!

They Did My Villains Dirty
**SPOILER ALERTS FOR "WONDER WOMAN 1984"** Look How They Massacred My Girl. Speaking of past sins coming back to hunt heroes, I’m going to take a stab at creating the version of Cheetah for “Wonder Woman 1984” that I would’ve been ecstatic to see, built around this very concept.
