Best Superhero Catchphrases
Superhero catchphrases say a lot about a character. They represent the character’s origin and who they are as a person. Depending on the character, their catchphrase could give them their powers or just small doses of comic relief. The most feared and powerful superheroes in Marvel and DC history also have some of the most popular superhero catchphrases.

Best Crime Comic Book Series
There's something about comic books that tends to make them seem wholesome–maybe its the colorful cartoons, or the fact that superhero comics almost always end up with a happy resolution, or perhaps it's just the automatic association my brain makes between comics and adolescence. But make no mistake–if you take out the superheroes from the worlds that they occupy, the storylines can indeed be incredibly twisted, dark and violent. Some of the best crime comic book series draw upon real life crime stories, or works from other media and portray villains that mean serious harm.

5 Disney Channel Original Movies and the Awful Lessons They Teach
Some of my favorite childhood movies were the Disney Channel Original Movies, (DCOMs). When I think of DCOMs I think of movies like High School Musical and Halloweentown, fun movies that have great moral lessons. If you're like me and you rewatched some DCOMs instead of going to class in college, you noticed that some of the movies have weird messages. For those of you that are productive members of society and don't have time to rewatch old Disney Channel movies, here's a list of the movies with particularly bad lessons.

6 Marvel Characters Who Need Their Own TV-Show
Marvel's rise in the film and television scene has been staggering, with movie after movie and tv-show after tv-show hitting it big. It is noticeable how critically acclaimed their tv-exploits have been, with the Netflix shows “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones” and “Luke Cage” being among the most watched series on the service. And they've shown no signs of stopping, with the upcoming “Iron Fist” and “Defenders” shows generating copious amounts of buzz, as well as the recent announcement of the “Cloak and Dagger” and “Runaways” shows having been greenlit.

Emotional DC Comics Moments
The comic book world is filled with emotional DC Comics moments. While Marvel has had its fair share of stellar scenes, one cannot deny the heaviness of DC Comics at times. After all, the comic book publisher is home to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, among an expansive list of other well-known superheroes. Regardless of their prowess as distinct individuals, it is their emotional DC Comics moments that have captured the attention of many loyal fans.

Marvel Comics Romances
A lot of couples have come and gone in the Marvel Universe. Some survive the hardships that come with the life of a superhero, but others crumble under the pressure of conflict, and still others die. And then sometimes come back. Yet some Marvel Comics romances stand out, and touch readers for a variety of reasons.

Best Horror Anime TV Shows
While many of us (particularly ladies) are allured by chick flicks where Prince Charming and his “damsel in distress” fall head over heels in love, bravely face the agonizing dilemma of being torn apart, and ultimately rejoice in reunion towards the end of the series, there is a whole group of people who prefer to revel in nauseating blood-bath scenes full of undead zombies, possessed-with-evil deadites, and brimming with darkseekers (a hybrid between a vampire and a zombie).

Great Movies with Little to No Dialogue
We all love a good talky, a film that has a brilliant script full of witty one-liners, illuminating voice-overs, and an iconic “You can’t handle the truth” catchphrase.

Best Animation to Live-Action Films
Whether you realized the genre name at the time of viewing or not, it is safe to say that nearly everyone, at some point in their lives, has seen and enjoyed an animation to live-action movie. Whether we see a trailer, see part of or the entirety of a film, or hear about it from a friend, these films somehow find a way to introduce themselves to us on a daily basis. While everyone has their preferences, animation to live-action movies always seem to grow and/or sustain their position in the popularity polls.

Reviewing 'Collectibles, Comics, Toys & More' Auction
Geek culture has undergone quite the renaissance in the past decade. The days of interest in Star Trek, Star Wars, and comic books being limited to only the so-called “nerds” have long ago passed and in today’s culture geek has gone mainstream. Billion dollar movies franchises, blockbuster television shows, and countless other signs that geek culture has attracted the masses suggest that this world is only just beginning to dominate the consumer market. The great thing about the geek genre, however, is that no matter how big it gets, there is always room for imagination both new and old.

Comic Book Superheroes Who Died and Stayed Dead
Again and again in comic book lore, the common trope resurfaces that you can't keep a good guy down, and superheroes who die don't have a habit of staying dead. There are some, however, who have managed to exit the mortal coil without tripping through the revolving door of convoluted plots or retconning. Of course this is all correct as of the date this article is published, but we can't actually guarantee that any of these fan favorites haven't been miraculously resurrected after this point. So without further ado, here are some superheroes who died and have been gracious enough to stay dead.
