Celebrating Marvel's Cloak And Dagger — The Ultimate Superhero Soulmates, And The Best Superhero Couple
Pretty much every Valentine's Day, superhero fans stop and ask themselves one simple question: Who are the best superhero power couple? It's the kind of question that can turn any Facebook group on its head, as fans eagerly compare Peter Parker's relationship with Mary-Jane or Gwen Stacy (sorry, Joe Quesada, but I'm still with MJ), or extol the virtues of Lois and Clark. Today, though, I'm going to point to an example nobody tends to think of — two C-list superheroes who are about to get their moment in the sun.

Hulk, Jean Grey, And Wolverine Are Back From The Dead: Marvel's 'Generations' Resurrects Classic Heroes
For the last few years, #MarvelComics has been particularly known for its focus on 'Legacy Heroes' - heroes who stand in the shadow of another, inheriting the mantle of power. These range from Sam Wilson's #CaptainAmerica to Kamala Khan's #MsMarvel, and frequently they've inherited the legacy due to the death of the original.

Batman and the Flash Are Diving Deep into the Mysteries of DC's Rebirth
Launched in May 2016, DC's "Rebirth" arc has transformed the comic industry. It's refreshed DC's entire line of titles, brought comic book sales to a 20-year peak, and revealed DC's answer to Marvel's 'Legacy Heroes'. But perhaps the most impressive aspect of "Rebirth" is that it's essentially a mystery story that will be told over the course of two years - ultimately revealing who stole time from the DC universe, destroyed countless relationships, and why they did it!

From 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' to 'Secret Empire': How Marvel Has Embraced Politics in the Age of Donald Trump
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Marvel's offices. While Marvel's controversial CEO Ike Perlmutter may have become an insider in the Trump Administration, his company is growing increasingly subversive.
