#ThrowbackThursday 90s Comic Book Cartoons
Okay, so I've been slacking a bit lately on the writing front, sorry about that. Right, onto business. The 90s were a magical time, a time when the world seemed much simpler, no smartphones, no Facebook, no Twitter. Much of the technology we take for granted today was the stuff of science fiction. It was also my childhood (which could explain why it seemed so magical). There were many things to enjoy about the 90s but what I want to talk about today are the simply amazing superhero cartoons that were around at the time.

Daredevil #595
After "Marvel Legacy" has begun, finally we get a new jumping on point for readers. Writer Charles Soule and artist Stefano Landini start a storyline focusing on one of Daredevil's key villains: The Kingpin. The story already presents Matt Murdock in a real dilemma, as usual, but let us go ahead and take a look at the story.

Best Comics of 2017 for Fans of Every Genre
Comics books aren't just about superheroes and space, there's much more than just those two worlds. In fact, there's an amazing array of comic books that can be enjoyed by almost anyone. Many comics tell stories that can be taken as life lessons. They're like novels, but told through illustrations. And if you want to start getting into comics but can't settle on a genre, you don't have to with any of these great comics.

The Overvoid Monitor
Literature is a creation of the human intelligence, a formulation of eminent genius, a construct of reality through the progressing of story. Comic book fiction is a storyboard, imprinted on the blank page, that attempts to create reality; behind illustration, balloons, words, and inking, the process of imagination takes place, through which is granted a window into the real, that which exists, and an insight into its history. Inherently, the comic book is an experience into mythology, it adeptly brings together the pseudo-scientific and the religious, the mystical and the metaphysical in a universe of possibility, a multiverse in fact, that determines the primary law that is the foundation of all existence: all that exists is a story that is created, evolving, and in the process of design. Art transcends the story into the mythical, the mythological, the expression of the will to power hidden in a natural force that seeks to dominate and extend its rule over its environment — the cosmos. Is that then the purpose of all life: to rule, to dominate, and perhaps to attain to an omnipotence that is really the desire for personality revealed in its universality and its exactness of thought?

Best R-Rated Comic Books That Should Be Made Into Movies
There was once a time in comic book history where superheroes were squeaky-clean role models. During the 40s, superheroes were all-American, wholesome characters who were just inhumanly good-to-the-bone. (Exhibit A: Captain America.)

A New Cape
"Thwip!” I yelled, shooting a web at my sister while dodging her glowing lasso. Being on our trampoline made dodging her attacks much easier and plus made me look a lot more like Spiderman. Using another web to swing around her, I had a clear shot and fired. “Thwip!” Looking up, there lie my enemy, subdued by the sticky net. I was victorious!

Comic Heroes and Racism
Every time I see a white person yell, “That’s not canon!” over a new twist on an old comic book hero my “mug o’ tears” gets a little fuller. When Zendaya was cast as MJ in Spiderman: Homecoming, so many comic book fans cried over the portrayal of a historically white character by a brown skinned actress. “MJ has red hair!” “MJ can’t be black!” and so on could be found all over the comic book fan forums. Meanwhile, POC finally got a chance to be represented as a main character in a classic comic book hero’s story.
