Most people think Marv is crazy. He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century. He’d be right at home on some ancient battlefield swinging an axe into somebody’s face. Or in a Roman arena, taking his sword to other gladiators like him… Mickey Rourke, who has been everywhere in the last few years, is reprising […]
No longer the armored Avenger…no…Iron Man is now the Iconic Avenger. Which fits as his armor is as every bit iconic as Captain America’s shield and Thor’s hammer. Marvel.com posted an interview today with new series writer Kieron Gillen, where he talks about Iron Man, the man behind the mask, and what’s in store for old shell head. Plus, a […]

Now I’m homeless and I’m freezing like the morgue… Only thing keeping me alive is the Lord… The 1996 classic from the bay area heavyweight E-40 is one of the realest songs I ever heard.
