Spider-Man: Death of the Stacys

Some comic book moments aren’t just memorable, I mean… they redefine everything. The Night Gwen Stacy Died and The Death of Captain Stacy are two of those moments. They didn’t just change Peter Parker’s life; they changed comics forever. These weren’t just superhero stories. They were tragedies, reminders that being Spider-Man wasn’t just about web-slinging…

Captain America: Brave New World

Brave New World brings the Captain America franchise to its fourth installment, which only Thor has managed to equal. While pretty much all MCU projects are connected to a greater or lesser degree, most of them can also stand alone.

That’s Boyhood (2014). It’s not just a coming-of-age story—it literally grows up…

Venom: The Last Dance

A Brief History of the Thunderbolts

I’m going to give a brief recap of the history of the group in the comics. There will be spoilers, but it’s to a story that started in 1997, so I kind of feel that the prohibition there is long gone. The team using that name has undergone a lot of different changes.
