From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.
Invincible Power Rankings. AI-Generated.
The world of Invincible isn’t built on clean heroics or simple good-versus-evil lines. It’s a universe where cities fall in minutes, loyalties shatter without warning, and strength isn’t just about who can throw the hardest punch — it’s about who survives when entire civilizations go to war. Some fighters look unstoppable until they face someone faster. Others seem secondary until the body count starts rising. And then there are the beings so overwhelmingly powerful that every battle feels less like a fight and more like a reckoning.

Which Sonic Character has the saddest backstory?
I recently watched a video by YouTuber Tyrecordslol discussing how many fans believe Shadow the Hedgehog has the saddest backstory in the Sonic franchise. While I understand why Shadow’s story resonates with so many, I actually think there are two characters who could rival him: Knuckles and Silver the Hedgehog.

From Variants to Legacy
This idea didn’t come from a panel, a publisher, or a Comic-Con keynote. It came from a comment section. After I published my article about how comic shops don’t need more collectors but more readers, I came across a comment that quietly reframed the entire conversation. The commenter pointed out something that, in hindsight, feels almost obvious: libraries are often the genuine point of entry for new comic readers, not comic shops.

Wonderman
Wonderman is a seriously good project and the reason I broke up the reviews like this is because people are forgetting new releases too fast. Social media has fried the brain of the general public and y'alls attention spans are dust. So I drag things out to force you to think about them in a more in depth way so that they will hopefully stick in your brain longer. It's why I really think ALL shows need to be released weekly. The binge format needs to die.

Wonderman
Wonderman’s first half was truly next level for Marvel. For a company that relies so heavily on a formula and on nostalgia every time they do something different it's great, so why exactly don’t they do it more? Everyone agreed WandaVision was incredible and the response to Wonderman has been positive as well. Not sure why that wouldn’t be enough for them to continue to branch out.

Wonderman
I would love to know how many people googled “Wonderman comics”, or “Wonderman powers” after the show dropped on Disney+. They were intentionally vague and they really separated themselves from the source material. And quite frankly that was a good decision. Because as far as comic book characters go Wonderman really isn’t that impressive or interesting. But who is he in the comics? Well we know I have the answers so here we go.

Disney’s Next Era: A Fan-Centered, Creator-Driven Vision for the Company That Once Imagined the Future.
Disney is at a crossroads. Not in the dramatic “end of an era” way people say every few years, but in a quieter, more important way. Disney has more money, more platforms, and more fandom franchises than ever before, and yet something feels off.

Wonderman
Wonderman was dropped all at once, because the powers that be have no faith in the general public, and I understand that but I think that anyone with an IQ above 10 would have been fine with a week to week release. That said the show is very intriguing so far, it's done a great job of setting things up in these first two episodes.

Kenton of the Star Patrol: A review of Stories: Vampires of the Void, and Serein's of Space
In this episode of the 1950s Science Fiction Podcast, the host reviews two early 1950s pre-code comic stories featuring Wilson Keaton from "Star Patrol" in "Strange Worlds." In “Vampires of the Void,” Keaton battles Queen Misery, who uses humans to power her planet’s generators. In “Sirens of Space,” Keaton confronts a queen who hypnotizes and enslaves space liner passengers with her voice. Both stories highlight classic pulp sci-fi action, inventive villains, and pre-code comic edginess, while the host reflects on the era’s storytelling and ethical themes.
