It’s been quite a week. While I sometimes struggle to find interesting news to share, sometimes weeks like this past one happen, and there can be only one thing to talk about. So, let’s get this Mighty Marvel Monday started! The big news from Marvel this past week was the casting announcement of the newest Peter Parker, also known…
#FreePeterParker: Spidey is Trapped in a Timeloop — WWAC to the Rescue!
When Sony agreed to let Marvel Studios give us the next Spidey film, we had our hopes that we’d get something more, because really, after five Spider-Man movies, we’re tired of Peter Parker and had our hearts set on a fresh take on the webslinger. Alas, we’ve got a new Spider-Man and it’s, unsurprisingly, not Miles Morales and…
Why I’m Boycotting Spider-Man: Diversity Isn’t a Trend, It’s a Reality
Yesterday we learned that Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man film had officially found its friendly neighborhood web slinger…and once again it’s a white straight male. Oh and there’s more! The director is–wait for it–a white dude! Let’s go back and reminisce about how this all came about, shall we? Remember last year in an interview with IndieWire when,…
Miles Morales Moves to Marvel’s Mainstream But Not the Movies
Say that headlines five times fast. No worries if you can’t, because either way, thanks to the new Spider-Man series coming this fall, Miles Morales will be shifting from his current status as an Ultimate character, to becoming a full member of the Marvel Universe with the conclusion of the Secret Wars event.
Who’s Responsible?: Spider-Gwen #4
Spider-Gwen #4 Jason Latour (Scripter), Robbi Rodriguez (Penciller) Rico Renzi (Colourist), Clayton Cowles (Letterer) Robbi Rodriguez (Cover Artist) Spider-Gwen #4 is probably my favorite issue of the series yet. There’s a lot less action in this issue. There’s no Vulture. No Frank Castle. No running from the cops. The conflict in this issue is all…

Spider-Gwen fans have even more to celebrate other than great sales because Spider-Gwen is getting a clothing line!

Another Day, Another White Spider-Man: Frontrunners for Spider-man Are Released
The Wrap has revealed the frontrunners for the role of Peter Parker, aka Spider-man, for his upcoming appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I have to say I am thoroughly unimpressed. Ever since the news hit that Spider-Man was officially joining the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) in a deal between Sony and Marvel, people…
She’s “Just” a Girl: Spider-Gwen #2-3
Spider Gwen #2-3 Jason Latour (Scripter), Robbi Rodriguez (Penciller) Rico Renzi (Colourist), VC’s Clayton Cowles (Letterer) Robbi Rodriguez (Cover Artist) I have placed so many expectations on this comic it’s unreal. In my previous review of issue #1, I mentioned that it was off to a promising start. The latest two issues, however, have been…
Beauty & the Geek: Stealth Cosplay – Anya Corazon
Stealth Cosplay is the practice of cosplaying—dressing up as a fictional character—in casual to professional settings. On Stealth Cosplay’s tumblr their tag line is: “for people who like to cosplay in public and keep their job,” which is Stealth Cosplay in a nutshell. I love cosplay, though I haven’t created any specific costumes for myself—one…
Review: Silk #1-2
Silk #1-2 Robbie Thompson (writer), Stacey Lee (artist), Ian Herring (colors) Variant covers by Skottie Young and Jake Forbes Marvel Comics For a character barely a year old, Cindy Moon comes into her first solo title with a lot of baggage. As a new lead in an ongoing superhero universe where new series launch every month, she’s…

Spider-Gwen #1 Jason Latour (W), Robbi Rodriguez (A), Rico Renz (C) Marvel Comics Originally, Spider-Gwen was only supposed to have two issues as part of the special “Spider-Verse” event. But from the moment her costume was revealed she had a following and what was only supposed to be two issues became a new female-led ongoing…

It happened. Sony has decided to get Marvel Studios to work their magic on the Spider-Man property. Will we get a repeat of the messy Amazing Spider-Man sequel? What are the plans for the web slinger let alone the shared universe Sony wants to create? WHAT’S GOING ON? These were the questions occupying our minds…
