Rippaverse Experienced A Setback Because Of 'Controversy'

Do you still remember Rippaverse? It was a comic company founded by Eric July in 2025 that defies "woke awareness" and left-leaning political agenda. Its first publication, Isom #1, already brought more than US$ 1.7 million in pre-orders in just the first four days.

This year, July made a startling revelation. The Isom creator revealed that the comic book company had plans to work with an artist agency on future projects. Unfortunately, the agency decided to drop the Rippaverse over "controversy."

Apocalypse's Heir Is Coming

His name, En Sabah Nur, has been feared for centuries. Also known as the mutant Apocalypse, he is considered as one of the deadliest enemies of the X-Men.

SPOILER ALERT

After 30 Long Years, The Sultry Marvel Swimsuit Edition Is Back

Comics fanatics should go back to their wardrobe and get those flimsy swim trunks and flippy-floppys, because Marvel is going with you to the beach for a revived edition of its iconic '90s swimsuit special that lands 30 years after the previous edition last hit stands.

And as if the promise of some fun in the sun and superhero swimwear isn't enough to bring you in, the new one-shot, officially titled "Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1", will also debut some steamy new skins coming to smash-hit hero shooter game Marvel Rivals. The comic, which is largely a pin-up gallery, will feature contributions from artists Nic Klein, Marguerite Sauvage, Luciano Vecchio, and more.

"Ultimate Wolverine" Is An Ultimate Killer

The "Ultimate Wolverine #1" is now available as it kicks off the first new ongoing title of the second year of the reborn Ultimate Universe. And as advertised, the new Ultimate Wolverine is also the Ultimate Winter Soldier, bearing that codename as a mindless weapon in service of the Maker's villainous cabal.

And like the mainstream Marvel Universe Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, the Ultimate Wolverine version has a backstory that is rife with tragedy and the loss of old friends, combined with elements of Logan's classic Weapon X origins. But for the new Ultimate Wolverine, his time as Winter Soldier will come at an even greater personal cost than for Bucky.

A Basic Guide To Manga Comics

The term Manga is used to define a wide variety of comic books and graphic novels originally produced and published in Japan. Unlike American comic books, which are usually printed in full color, Japanese manga are almost always published in black and white. Full-color prints are often only used for special releases.

Japanese manga is read right-to-left rather than left-to-right, which is the norm for English language publications. This can take some getting used to if you have only ever read English publications, but you will hardly notice once you’ve practiced enough.

Justice League Unlimited #1 Opens Several Subplots

It cannot be denied that comparisons between "Justice League Unlimited #1" and the animated series of the same name will be the talk in social media. It is because they are also profoundly apt.

Both stories center around a reformed legion of DC Comics‘ superheroes, expanded after what was seemingly Earth’s darkest hour. Both build upon an already excellent series to highlight the glory and variety of the DC Universe.

Who Is MCU's Sentry?

The upcoming "Thunderbolts" film from Marvel Studios will feature one of the most interesting and convoluted character Marvel Comics has ever produced, the Sentry.

Most comic followers will refer to his as Marvel’s Superman, but with a dark secret. He'll be portrayed by actor Lewis Pullman in the upcoming MCU film. But who is Sentry, a (relatively recent) Marvel character, and what is his strange origin story, both on and off the page?

Another Marvel Hero Dies?

The August 14's Iron Fist 50th Anniversary Special showed one-shot which concludes with the apparent death of Danny Rand at the hands of Razor Fist, an old enemy of Shang-Chi.

In the story, Danny, Luke Cage, and several of their friends and allies celebrate Danny's birthday by reminiscing about some of their old adventures back in the days when Luke and Danny were starting out as the Heroes for Hire.

"We are Filipino, not Filipinx. You need to study first."

Comic-Con International was a source of controversy online over the use of the controversial term "Filipinx" on their social media posts.

San Diego Comic-Con International (SDCC), a convention dedicated to celebrating the history and culture of comic books, held their annual event this year from July 21 to 24.

Comic Sales Down

Marvel has found itself in an online civil war after a top executive suggested too much diversity and female characters were to blame for declining comic sales.

The issue started when the company’s vice president of sales, David Gabriel, was asked by geek culture trade magazine ICv2 at the Marvel Retailer Summit why the company's numbers were down. His reply: "What we heard was that people didn’t want any more diversity. They didn’t want female characters out there. That’s what we heard, whether we believe that or not. I don’t know that that’s really true, but that’s what we saw in sales."

Marvel's Massive Comic Book On Its 80th Anniversary

Marvel Comics is now celebrating its 80th anniversary and they are doing it with a massive issue that pays tribute to its history and introduces a new object with implications for the superhero universe going forward.

The Marvel Comics 1000 issue, available last 29 August, pays homage to many of Marvel's most recognizable characters, including Iron Man, the Hulk and Spider-Man, and also spotlights some lesser known ones. Each page is devoted to a year in Marvel's history, with the first one recounting the creation of the Human Torch in Marvel Comics No. 1 in 1939.

Marvel Comics May Be Losing Ground

In January 2015, sales of Marvel Comics has started to slowdown as they isolate their loyal fan base and rejected the original canon in favor of appeasing the transgenders, gays, midgets, east Indians, H1b workers, Muslims and illegal aliens. They aspire to be the liberal's wet dream and ignore the stories that comic purists has supported for decades.

In July 2015, DC Comics made a historical jump and a huge surge to topple Marvel comics in terms of print sales. The trend will most certainly continue after Marvel announced a new set of unpopular characters.

Big Revelations About DC's Rebirth

In a few short hours, DC is heralding a new era for its comics, both creatively and in terms of its story, with the release of DC Universe: Rebirth #1.

The series isn't a continuity reboot, per se; instead, it is a kind of thematic pivot involving a crazy twist. It begins with "DC Universe: Rebirth", a giant-sized standalone comic by writer (and DC Entertainment chief creative officer, as well as reported new co-head of DC’s film operations) Geoff Johns and a bevy of artists. It changes the post-2011 status quo significantly.
