Top Batman Fan Theories That Will Blow Your Socks Off
Batman has been a major figure in comic book history for over 80 years, yet still, his full origin, his villains, and even those closest to him remain somewhat of a mystery to the audience. It is human nature that we will often create explanations for ourselves when none are available. Sometimes, we do it just to keep things interesting.

'Hulk Vs. Hotshot: The Human Ray Gun!'
I'm finally covering the Immortal Hulk 'Issue #3,' and you can slowly see pieces of a puzzle start to come together. Really, Al Ewing is doing a fantastic job with Bruce Banner and The Hulk. I'm really interested as to what Ewing is trying to go for with the night being the Hulk's time (as we see Bruce say in the first and second issue). After re-reading this issue, I can finally see all of the hints that Ewing has been dropping and I can't wait to explain my theory to you after the post on the fourth issue of this title. So let's just hop straight into the story.

Lesser Known Marvel Characters: Who Is Sasquatch?
Everybody knows who the Hulk is, and some may know that there are other Hulks (or there were) in the Marvel Universe. Among these other Hulks are Abomination, A-Bomb, Doc Samson, and She-Hulk to name a few. But some of you don't know that there is a Canadian equivalent of the Hulk called Sasquatch. And today we are going to be going over who he is and what kinds of roles he plays in the Marvel Universe.

Top Comic Reads from a Comic Amateur . Top Story - August 2018.
I have been reading comics almost religiously for a month now. Compared to my 19 years of life, one month seems minuscule, and it is, but the last 31 days have provided me with 31 opportunities to bury myself in illustration and just get lost for a while.

Road to the X-Men/Inhuman War (Part 1)
In this post, we are going to be going over the first issue of Death of X by Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule, which is awesome because I love both of their writing. Death of X is a four-issue mini-series that leads up to the crossover event called Inhumans vs. X-Men where Mutants and Inhumans go to war with each other. After DoX and IvX, we go into X-Men Prime and Inhumans Prime, which re-shapes the Inhuman/X-Men status quo in the Marvel Universe.

Summary and Review of 'The Sentry #1'
Some people consider The Sentry to be Marvel's Superman, but I feel like he is more comparable to Shazam from DC Comics. I know next to nothing about the Sentry but I do know enough to give you a basic rundown of who his character is and some other supporting characters in The Sentry's mythos. Instead of going over a brief or recent history of the character, I think I know little enough about him that I can The Sentry's origin as we go through the first issue.

Profile Update: August 2018
Just a fairly quick post about updates with my profile. I've decided to take a step back and go over the everything that was part of the ResurrXion event that began in March of 2017 and follow all of the titles that spun off from this event. Meaning that I will be going through X-Men Prime, X-Men Gold, Generation X, and more. But this also means that I'm going to go over some of the Inhumans titles, and if I am being honest, after the Death of X and X-Men vs. Inhumans storylines, I really do not like the Inhumans. So hopefully, the writers working on these titles do interesting things with the characters. Essentially, the ResurrXion event was supposed to explain and re-establish the status quo of the Inhumans and X-Men in the Marvel Universe. The first two titles spinning out of this are X-Men Prime and Inhumans Prime. Of course, first I will be going over the Death of X, more specifically, the first issue. The reason that I'm going to be going over the Death of X storyline is because it is the prelude to X-Men vs. Inhumans. And X-Men Vs. Inhumans is the prelude to the ResurrXion event.

Multiple Man and His Multiple Men!
I've never taken the time to get to know who Multiple Man is in the Marvel Universe, so I thought I would give this title by Matt Rosenberg a shot—and man is this title hilarious. From my experience, many solo titles involving smaller characters just don't work for some reason. It could be that the writers do not know what to do with the character or how to write them. The only other solo title that I'm thinking of checking out is the Sentry run by Jeff Lemire. Mostly because it's Jeff Lemire and he has written so awesome stories like the first 25 issues of the current Old Man Logan story line. I really recommend that you check out that Old Man Logan run and the first two issues of Multiple Man, which are out now.

The Fate of the Fantastic Four (Part 1)
Gearing up for the return of the Fantastic Four in Marvel Comics in August, we are going to be going over Marvel 2-in-One: The Human Torch and The Thing byChip Zdarsky. What this title is supposed to do is show us what the remaining members of the Fantastic Four, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm, are up to in the comics and where they've been. Right now, the Fantastic Four is broken up because Reed Richards, Sue Storm and their children, Franklin and Valeria have gone missing somewhere inside the universe and are presumed dead. With a majority of the Fantastic Family gone, Benn Grimm and Johnny Storm are left together, but due to the pain that Johnny feels for losing his sister, his brother-in-law, his niece and nephew, he leaves Ben Grimm to handle the affairs of Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards).
