Here is the quote from the interview that I found fascinating: The one thing that really surprised me was the new costume Mark Gruenwald and I created for Wonder Man. I considered him, and I know he considered me, to have a pretty good handle on what made good comics, and we both liked the costume a lot. But apparently we were pretty much the only ones. Oooh…boy, yeah. Wait until you see some of the responses! The comic book blog, The Peerless Power of Comics, collected some of the letter column responses to the costume so that I wouldn’t have to. Check them out: “I have to tell you that I found Wonder Man’s new costume so visually repugnant that it vastly decreased my enjoyment of the entire issue. It looks like an Adam Strange reject. Realize you made a mistake and correct it soon.” “I just had to write and tell you a terrible nightmare I had. Seems that Wonder Man somehow lost his goggles, and his hair changed

Despite the fact that its recently-released second season has been considered by fans and critics alike to be a massive improvement on the first across the board, Marvel’s Iron Fist has officially been cancelled by Netflix. “Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix,” Marvel and Netflix told Deadline in a joint statement following a period of uncertainty regarding the show’s future. “Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners. We’re thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we’ve shared on this series.” RELATED: Iron Fist’s Big Twist Completely Changes Marvel’s Netflix Universe While Iron Fist as a series has effectively ended, however, the statement also hinted that the character might not be done yet as far as the on-screen Marvel univers

Netflix canceled Iron Fist on Friday, making it the first Marvel original superhero show on the streaming service to end, though Defenders is unlikely to receive a second season. . Actor Finn Jones, who plays Danny Rand/Iron Fist, released a statement on the show’s cancelation. “With every end is a new beginning,” Jones wrote on Instagram. “I have an enormous amount of love and respect for everyone involved with the last two seasons of this show.

To help him declare adult swim for humanity on a planetary scale, Namor gathered a mix of old and new underwater heroes and villains to form the Defenders of the Deep. At the beginning of this issue, the nautical villain Tiger Shark joined Sub-Mariner’s cause moments after watching his brother-in-law, Stingray, get eaten alive. Tiger Shark was originally a human Olympic swimmer who had his DNA bonded with samples from Namor and, well, a tiger shark. While he’s fought Namor plenty of times, he’s also been a member of the Masters of Evil and bounced around the Marvel Universe as a recurring minor villain. The team also includes another relatively noteworthy Namor villain in Orka. After being experimented on by a mad scientist, this Atlantean soldier was given the strength of a killer whale. Orka even took down an Avengers squad once, all on his own. Since then, the marine mercenary’s resume has been considerably less impressive, al

Author Chuck Wendig announced today on Twitter that Marvel Comics has fired him from Star Wars: Shadow of Vader #4 and #5, as well as a yet-announced Star Wars project. The cause of the firing appears to be consistent and sustained harassment from the Comicsgate subcommunity, which prides itself on campaigns of harassment aimed at creators who incorporate progressive characters and themes into their works. So, here’s a thing that has happened – I just got fired from Marvel. Taken off issues 4 and 5 of SHADOW OF VADER, and taken off an as-yet-unannounced SW book. This might be a long thread, so apologies in advance. — Chuck Wendig (@ChuckWendig) October 12, 2018 According to Wendig’s tweets (the author penned several in succession to tell his story), the harassment began after the release of his 2015 novel Star Wars: Aftermath, which introduced a character named Sinjir Rath Velus, an Imperial turncoat and one of the few openl

In engaging Captain America, this “Devil” Hulk plays off his insecurities around the recent Hydra takeover (as seen in Secret Empire) and for Jen, Hulk starts telling her that she’s just like him, something that terrifies her and distracts her just enough for him to punch her so hard she flies a clear two miles before she lands. Throughout the fight, while the Avengers are growing more and more convinced that this is one battle they’re not going to win, Tony Stark is talking about bringing his ultimate weapon online, something everyone else is against. As Jen is knocked clear into the next town, Tony realizes they’ve run out of options. After confirming that the townspeople are all evacuated — and despite Captain Marvel’s pleas for him not to do what he’s about to do — Iron Man unleashes the Helio Laser.

Ever since his surprise casting in 2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, star Johnny Depp and the production has faced controversy following allegations of domestic abuse from ex-spouse Amber Heard. As press on the film’s sequel, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, ramps up, Depp has addressed the controversy while publicly maintaining his stance of innocence in the matter. “I felt bad for J.K. [Rowling] having to field all these various feelings from people out there. I felt bad that she had to take that,” admitted Depp in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in regards to the Harry Potter creator and Fantastic Beasts producer and writer J.K. Rowling facing criticism for Depp’s casting in spite of allegations of domestic violence which the actor continues to deny. “Ultimately, there is real controversy. The fact remains I was falsely accused, which is why I’m suing The Sun newspaper for def

In December, the ever-loving, blue-eyed Thing marries longtime on/off again love interest Alicia Masters in the pages of Fantastic Four #5 by writer Dan Slott and artists Aaron Kuder, Adam Hughes, and Michael Allred. From the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 to the marriage of Reed Richards and Susan Storm in Fantastic Four Annual #3, superhero weddings in the Marvel Universe have traditionally brought the villains out to disrupt the festivities and Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters’ special day looks to be no different.

DC executives regret the much-discussed panels depicting a nude Bruce Wayne in Batman: Damned #1. The sheer amount of media attention paid to the issue, released last month, has even caused DC to reassess the Black Label imprint the series launched.

Writer Jody Houser has been making her mark on comics for years, but 2018 is a year where her footprint has gotten bigger, stronger and stranger. This week, Dark Horse Comics released Stranger Things #1 from Houser and artist Stefano Martino while also announcing StarCraft: Soldiers – a follow-up to her popular Scavengers series set in the video game universe. The writer has made a name for herself delivering expansive stories of horror and action in licensed comics, and Stranger Things is the highest profile example yet with a story that reveals what happened to Will Byers during his entrapment in the Upside Down. CBR spoke with Houser about what it takes to make the comic version of Netflix’s biggest series feel like it’s straight out of the ’80s, how she approaches licensed titles for fans new and old and why StarCraft’s expansion delivers her scariest work yet.

A new rumor suggests Marvel’s Avengers 4 will take place at least five years after the shocking events of Avengers: Infinity War. The 19th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe saw Josh Brolin’s Thanos execute his plan to wipe out half of life in the universe by collecting the Infinity Stones. But instead of picking up in the emotional moments after that heartbreaking finger snap, fans may be introduced next year to an MCU that’s had time to adjust to the radical, and heartbreaking, change in the status quo.

Writer Kyle Higgins shed insight into his upcoming Winter Soldier miniseries with artist Rod Reis on Saturday evening during the Marvel: True Believers Panel at New York Comic Con, calling it a story which will reinvent the character. When asked about the adventures planned for Bucky Barnes, Higgins said the new story “always pointed to the Winter Soldier as what a sidekick should be.” He added, “I feel like the redemption story’s been done. Basically, we turn Bucky Barnes into an AA sponsor for people trying to stop being evil.” RELATED: Marvel Announces New Winter Soldier Miniseries Higgins has cited Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting’s work with the assassin-turned-Avenger as an influence, where he returned as a Hydra operative only for Captain America to stop his brainwashing.
