5 Comic Book Sequels That Should've Happened
With every studio building their own cinematic universe, it seems like every superhero film is getting a sequel nowadays. However, Hollywood is an unpredictable terrain where more projects are started than finished.

A Man Loyal to the Dream
We're going into the first issue of the Captain America run by Ta Nehisi Coates because I have heard very good things about his writing, and his run on Black Panther. And I have to say, that Coates knows what he is doing with the Captain America character, especially when it comes to showing the impact that Secret Empire has had on Steve Rogers and the people he cares about. Coates goes into some pretty serious topics in the issue, and presents a philosophical dilemma that Rogers must come to terms with. The artwork by Lenil Francis Yu, who illustrated Superman: Birthright, does a fantastic with the job too.

This article I present to you is my suggestion for what they should do.

'The Seven Deadly Sins' End
Disbelief. Shock. Those were the first reactions to the news of The Seven Deadly Sins manga ending soon. It has been one of the most loved and awaited animes of 2018, yet the manga will be ending in roughly a year. The creator of the manga, Nakaba Suzuki, recently expressed his desire to end the manga at 40 volumes in about a year's time. This means the manga does not have much to go and is bound to have an ending worthy of a shonen as described by Suzuki.

Top Batman Fan Theories That Will Blow Your Socks Off
Batman has been a major figure in comic book history for over 80 years, yet still, his full origin, his villains, and even those closest to him remain somewhat of a mystery to the audience. It is human nature that we will often create explanations for ourselves when none are available. Sometimes, we do it just to keep things interesting.

'Hulk Vs. Hotshot: The Human Ray Gun!'
I'm finally covering the Immortal Hulk 'Issue #3,' and you can slowly see pieces of a puzzle start to come together. Really, Al Ewing is doing a fantastic job with Bruce Banner and The Hulk. I'm really interested as to what Ewing is trying to go for with the night being the Hulk's time (as we see Bruce say in the first and second issue). After re-reading this issue, I can finally see all of the hints that Ewing has been dropping and I can't wait to explain my theory to you after the post on the fourth issue of this title. So let's just hop straight into the story.

Lesser Known Marvel Characters: Who Is Sasquatch?
Everybody knows who the Hulk is, and some may know that there are other Hulks (or there were) in the Marvel Universe. Among these other Hulks are Abomination, A-Bomb, Doc Samson, and She-Hulk to name a few. But some of you don't know that there is a Canadian equivalent of the Hulk called Sasquatch. And today we are going to be going over who he is and what kinds of roles he plays in the Marvel Universe.

Top Comic Reads from a Comic Amateur . Top Story - August 2018.
I have been reading comics almost religiously for a month now. Compared to my 19 years of life, one month seems minuscule, and it is, but the last 31 days have provided me with 31 opportunities to bury myself in illustration and just get lost for a while.

Road to the X-Men/Inhuman War (Part 1)
In this post, we are going to be going over the first issue of Death of X by Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule, which is awesome because I love both of their writing. Death of X is a four-issue mini-series that leads up to the crossover event called Inhumans vs. X-Men where Mutants and Inhumans go to war with each other. After DoX and IvX, we go into X-Men Prime and Inhumans Prime, which re-shapes the Inhuman/X-Men status quo in the Marvel Universe.

Summary and Review of 'The Sentry #1'
Some people consider The Sentry to be Marvel's Superman, but I feel like he is more comparable to Shazam from DC Comics. I know next to nothing about the Sentry but I do know enough to give you a basic rundown of who his character is and some other supporting characters in The Sentry's mythos. Instead of going over a brief or recent history of the character, I think I know little enough about him that I can The Sentry's origin as we go through the first issue.

'Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest'
Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest finally made its way to fans in July 2018 (there are spoilers ahead so read on at your own risk). The long-awaited spin-off finally began and it was received with extreme enthusiasm from fans. One could say the story never ended because it picks off from the end of the Alvarez Arc. The strongest team of Fairy Tail is on their way to complete their 100-year quest and fated encounters, new love rivals, and new dragons await the happy-go-lucky bunch. Fans were disappointed that the story ended in such a vague way and it left fans with a lot of questions. Perhaps Hiro Mashima intended the end to have an open-ending so he could work on a new project while simultaneously working with a Fairy Tail spin-off. Either way, the new project, Eden's Zero, and the new spin-off series have brought the audience exactly what they wanted.
