Comic Books are as popular as ever in the world we live in today. The most popular of these comic book companies, of course, are DC and Marvel. Both companies catch a lot of headlines due to their movie and television universes adapting. Some of their most popular characters from comics panel to live action movies. A comic book company, I believe, that deserves more attention is Image Comics. Image comics may not have the film or television monopoly, but they make up for it in amazing titles. Here are a list of 5 of my favorite comic series published,…

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe that most fans come up with some amazing ideas from their favorite movies, video games or comic books.

The Walking Dead has cast Season Nines main villain, Alpha, who will be played by actress Samantha Morton. It comes to no surprise that they go ahead and cast her right hand man, Beta. Ryan Hurst, known mostly for his portrayal as Opie on Sons of Anarchy, has been cast as the titular character, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter. In the comics, the character of Beta is a large man and all around brute force of nature. What he lacks in dialogue, he makes up with his brutal and physical presence as well as his overwhelming loyalty to his leader Alpha.…

It’s a funny thing seeing how much Nerd Culture has changed over the years. When I grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s, I felt like I had to mask my true self. I had to hide my interest in comic books, pokemon, Dungeons and Dragons, and superheroes. In order to fit in, I put on another persona of a jock; playing Varsity football in high school, going to parties, being a “cool” kid. I used the word “cool” very lightly. All the while, I would sneak off on the weekends to Comic Conventions, Magic Card games, etc.…

The world of Jason Bourne is now coming to the small screen as the USA Network has ordered it’s spinoff, titled Treadstone. The series will be written and executive produced by Tom Kring (Heroes), with Ramin Bahrani, director of HBO’s Farenheit 451, to call the shots on the pilot episode. Jason Bourne is widely associated with actor Matt Damon, who has played the lethal super agent/ anti-hero in four movies and has not ruled out a fifth movie yet. The Treadstone series will not expand upon the character of Jason, but instead will expand this universe in many ways. Perhaps building off what…

It looks as if Warner Bros. is at it again with enlisting A-List talent for their DC movie universe. As reported by Comicbook.com, Tom Cruise is in talks to star in the new Green Lantern Corps movie. Cruise has been tied to casting rumors since early March, after the report of Christopher McQuarrie, a frequent collaborator with Tom Cruise. After the failed Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds, it is heartwarming to see that DC is taking extra care this time around. DC is working patiently with the script and it seems they are willing to spend some money to make…

Lewis Tan has been catching attention lately with the possibility of playing Dick Grayson/Nightwing, in the DCEU. Teasing fans, after posting a picture of himself on twitter at DC headquarters holding a few Batman Comics, which can be seen below.

Zack Snyder has confirmed that the Robin killed by the Joker, in his version of the DCEU, wasn’t Jason Todd. Instead, he revealed that it was Dick Grayson, who had lost his life to the Clown Prince of Crime. A few years ago, we caught a glimpse of Robin’s suit in the trailer for Batman vs. Superman and fans have speculated which version of the character had been killed.

Noted by The Hollywood Reporter in an earlier report, Kraven was ousted as a possible Sony spin-off along with Silver Sable, Black Cat, and Mysterio. Silver Sable and Black Cat have since been confirmed, while Mysterio will be the villain of the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home film. Mysterio will be played by actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Other Projects in the works for Sony include Silk,…

A new rumor is making its rounds on the internet stating that Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the Joker origin will be much…..much… different than anything ever done before. As reported by Following the Nerd, the Nerd Rage Podcast has claimed to have seen proof of this off the wall transformation of the Clown Prince of Crime. Take what is said next with a grain of salt as this is really just an unconfirmed rumor for now, with little to no evidence, to back the claim up. In the Todd Philips take on the character The Joker, before his complete transformation, is…
