Imagine a cross between Spiderman and Superman, and you would get something like Invincible. A teenage superhero with a liking for one-liners and the power to destroy worlds with a punch. Who wouldn’t want to read that? Yet, what I like most about the series and its title character is how deep they can sometimes …
I’m a big fan of Deadpool. I’ve read several of his comics and written a good few articles. The Merc with a Mouth always amuses me. I love when characters are overboard and spontaneous, and that’s Deadpool in a nutshell. You’ll only be bored with one of his comics if it’s badly written, which happens …
I’m not, by any means, an Iron Man detractor. Tony was never my favorite superhero, but I like the guy. I’ve written a few articles about him, and some of his comics rank high on my list – like Superior Iron Man. That being said, Avengers is no X-men. There’s just no way Tony’s Team …

Most of Invincible’s references are stellar, but you can’t win every time. Kirkman failed, and he did so when he rehashed two of the most iconic detectives from …
The Multiverse is the new black. With Everything Everywhere All At Once’s smashing success and the MCU’s version of Secret Wars on the horizon, worlds colliding are the new normal. But this concept has been at the forefront of sci-fi stories for decades – and it’s a well-known staple of comic book lore. Since Crisis …

With so many super-powered characters in Invincible, it’s easy to overlook the puny powerless humans. Unless it’s Batman or Iron Man, why would I care? Worse, if the person doesn’t run around wearing spandex and beating people up, why should I give them the time of day? Well, let me tell you: if you ever …
I’ll start this Battle Beast Invincible guide with a seemingly unrelated note – my love for U2 – but I swear it will all make sense. When I first heard U2’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, I became enchanted. Its haunting lyrics about experiencing all the world has to offer while still …
