If you're one of the original five X-Men and your name isn't Jean Grey or Scott Summers, chances are you've got a bum deal. Angel is mostly known for having his wings torn off and replaced by cybernetic ones as one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen.

(Review) Miles Morales, Vol. 1: Straight Out of Brooklyn
The runaway success of last year's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse raised the profile of Miles Morales in a big way. Created by Brian Michael Bendis in 2011, Miles became the second Spider-Man of an alternate Marvel universe after a cataclysm took the life of that reality's Peter Parker. It's been an eventful eight years for … Continue reading (Review) Miles Morales, Vol. 1: Straight Out of Brooklyn
(Comic Review) The Totally Awesome Hulk #1-4
The Hulk has been one of those characters where it's been impossible for him to settle down for very long.

(Comics) A Wolf for the People: Sam Wilson’s First 100 Days as Captain America
Sam Wilson has not had an easy time of it during his short stint with the shield. He's basically operating on a shoestring budget out of the basement of a neighborhood church, with only two (testy) people on his staff and no resources. He's on the "wrong" side of an ideological difference with his best … Continue reading (Comics) A Wolf for the People: Sam Wilson’s First 100 Days as Captain America
