Homecoming simply picks up years after Civil War leaves off. The character and setting changes, as previously stated…

Marvel is finally taking steps to bring X-Men back into the spotlight after years of constant neglect presumably stemmed by their lack of motion pictures rights. The one biggest complaint about Marvel right now is that their universe is too big and spinning out of control. Guggenheim brings X-Men: Gold back to the basics focusing on a team dynamic vs the regular people in New York.

The answer to life, the universe, and everything? Simply put, it’s 42. Not only did it take ten million years to get an answer that commonly appears on a fourth grader’s math test, but it also took an incredibly intelligent race on interdimensional mice to discover.

Running a crappy private investigation firm aptly named 'Alias,' Jessica is an…

To understand the nature of Lee, you have to take a step back and understand who Lee was before the Marvel phenomenon: a dispirited, middle-aged company stooge working in a dying industry, with no reason to believe anything could change. He was born Stanley Martin Lieber in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on December 28, 1922, the first child of middle-class Jewish parents.
