Superman is no longer American; renounces citizenship
In Action Comics No. 900 Superman will renounce his US citizenship. I know this will cause debate. Geek Native has already seen comments on some of the Wonder Woman costume debate that complain about the “removal” of America from superheroes. Geek Native reader Fringe330 wrote: “What is it with ppl trying to take America out […]

In the run up to MCM Expo London Comic Con the MCM Buzz crew will be launching a new and free manga-stlye motion comic. We have access to the preview. It’s a good deal. Free stuff. The comic launches on Friday and there’s more free stuff every Friday for a whole six weeks. That takes […]
WTF: Spider-Man #666 cover art
The cover to the Amazing Spider-Man issue #666 is an odd one. Spider-Statue-of-Liberty anyone? Issue #666 is the prelude to a new ‘event’ from Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. The cover is by Mike Del Mundo. Here’s what Marvel Senior Editor Stephen Wacker said in a recent blog post; “Back when Slott launched Spider-Man into the […]
Dr Grordborts animation
This animation from Weta New Zealand caught my eye. Steampunk wars on Vensus where we seem to have mankind, lead by Lord Cockswain, against those churlish savages the native Venusians. I’d never encountered Greg Broadmore’s Doctor Grordbort before so I investigated a bit more. The website is pretty but odd – “What does it do?” […]
Footprints #1 review
I can honestly say that Footprints is the first Cryptozoological noir comic I’ve read and tried to review. It features Mr Foot aka Bigfoot as the grungy detective who finds he has to investigate the murder of his own odd brother – Yeti. This is a review of Footprints, issue #1. Indeed the cast and […]
127 Seconds – Marvel parodies Oscar hopeful 127 Hours
Have you seen Danny Boyle‘s 127 Hours? I haven’t. Not my cup of tea. Don’t need to see James Franco suffer. The fact that the flick is up for an Oscar or so means it is noteworthy though – and comic powerhouse Marvel have noticed. Marvel does 127 Hours? Surely not. Correct. Instead we’ve got […]
Read more comics: The X-Men family tree
This has been doing the rounds for a while but given that X-Men First Class is drawer nearer, it does not harm to re-surface it here. It helps to pause on the legend in the top right as that spells out quirky “family tree” relationships like “clone”. For example, x-23 is a clone of Wolverine, […]
Whedon’s Dollhouse to continue
I don’t mind admitting it; I rather liked Dollhouse. It got better and better (okay; after a weak start). It was best after we knew it had been cancelled. Dark Horse have stepped in and now we can expect two more doses of Dollhouse in comic form. The first dose comes in the one-shot “Dollhouse: […]
The Future Foundation and Spider-Man [spoilers]
Wait. No. Slow down. If you’re allergic to spoilers then run! Run for the hills! If you’re not allergic to spoilers and know which of the Fantastic Four died then it is safe to keep reading. Still here? Good. The new comic by Steve Epting and Jonathan Hickman, FF#1, is about The Future Foundation. See […]
