For me, this is the dream team. Rick Remender, who has wowed me since Image Comic’s Sea of Red (which you should all go check out!), is now in the driver seat for the sentinel of liberty, with the legendary John Romita Jr. bringing the story to life this November. Marvel.com spoke with Remender about Cap, Romita and tons more…from […]

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 […]

I love the diversity of Image Comics. I know, there are people that are die hard loyal fans to the big two only: I feel bad for those people. They missed the modern day classic 27, the high octane blood-fest known as Luther Strode, the space faring epic in Saga, and that’s just naming a fraction of it all. Reason […]
