It's a sad fact of a super-hero's life that saving the world doesn't leave a whole lot of time for a social life. Time and time again, relationships have been ruined when super-heroes have chosen "fight then team up" over "dinner and a movie," and actually starting a relationship is even worse...

This week marks Joe Quesada's tenth anniversary as Editor-in-Chief (and now Chief Creative Officer) at Marvel Comics and there is most definitely cause for celebration.

Deadline reported Wednesday that Marvel Studios has hired a screenwriter to begin work on a film based on the Marvel Comics superhero Iron Fist. Rich Wilkes, best known for creating the "xXx" movie franchise, will draft the story of Daniel Rand a...

In the 22 years that I've been reading comics, I've built up a collection with some pretty weird stuff in it: A pristine copy of "Godzilla vs. Barkley" (in which Godzilla rises from the ocean to do battle on the court with a 300 foot-tall Sir Charles), a copy of "Rock Reflections of a Super-Hero," even the two comics about Prince that Dwayne McDuffie wrote back in the early '90
