If you know me and what I read, you should not be surprised to learn that SomethingCentral’s top ten favorite comic books of 2022 are still DC and Marvel-dominated, X-Men-dominated specifically. While there wasn’t anything not from the Big-two last year, you may be surprised by this year’s best spots. I expanded my horizons this […]
The Marvel Cinematic Universe started in 2008 with the release of Iron Man 1. We had Marvel movies before that with the Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy, the Blade duology, and a series of X-Men movies. But the MCU was the first time anyone had attempted to replicate what only the comic books had ever achieved… an […]
The year is ending, and no more comic book films are coming out. Last year, I only managed to review the top ten comic books, but this year, I want to do more. I want to get the top ten comic book series I read, comic tv shows, and comic book movies. Here’s hoping I […]
Last year, I only did a video about the best comics of 2020, but now I want to do more. There were a lot of comic book shows to come out this year as the pandemic slowed down. Some were about superheroes and some weren’t. Unlike with the movie list, there were a lot more […]
This is typically a comic book site, and Dragon Ball isn’t technically a comic book, I know. But I wanted to talk about a topic that’s been an important part of my life for the past few weeks. Fanfiction is almost a dirty word in some circles. It’s when fans take time out of their […]
Liberation Theology is, and I quote, “a movement in Christian theology that emphasizes liberation from social, political, and economic oppression as an anticipation of ultimate salvation.” I took a class about this in college, a strange thing to say I’m done with. But in that class, I was able to write a paper about any […]
So with Marvel Midnight Suns, we have another great-looking Marvel game. It’s made by Firaxis, the developers behind XCom, the popular tactical sci-fi role-playing series. They’re known not only for their deep turn-based strategy combat but also for their punishing permadeath and RPG mechanics. While we shouldn’t expect to see permadeath with Marvel superheroes, we […]
There’s a staple of superhero mythos that’s been around since the dawn of superhero comics. Something that doesn’t have a real-life equivalent, outside of being a spy, maybe. This makes it difficult to discern its morality even in context. This thing is the secret identity. The name heroes go by during their regular daily life […]
The Spectre is an underrated favorite character of mine. Almost as old as Superman, he first appeared in 1940. He was even made by the same writer, Jerry Spiegel, with a co-credit from one Bernard Baily. He has a storied history, playing a significant role in many of its events, particularly in Crisis on Infinite […]
Spoilers for Black Widow #1-7 Written by: Kelly Thompson Art by: Elena Casagrande Coloring by: Jordie Bellaire Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit Black Widow can be a bit of a cold character. That makes sense; she’s a superspy who was kidnapped, brainwashed, and trained to be a killer from a young age. Why would you […]
