I hope not! Here is the latest teaser from Image Comics regarding Robert Kirkman’s Invincible #100. This time, it’s the death of everybody. Invincible, Atom Eve, Robot, Oliver, Allen the Alien and Omni Man. If they all did in fact die, then that would be the end of Invincible…and that’s something I am not ready for. Image Comic’s Invincible is […]

NOOOOOOO! For me, this latest teaser for Image Comics Invincible #100 is the one I really don’t want to see happen. Why? Because Omni Man is that cool. And his name’s Nolan… how many comic characters share my name? Exactly. Let’s all hope it’s just Robot or Invincible’s purple half brother, Oliver. Remember to check out Image Comics website for […]

Another classic is reborn. I don’t know how many of you remember the original Battle Beasts, but they were pure awesomeness.
