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."

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.

"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.

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."

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.
