Best Horror Podcasts. Top Story - September 2016.
Although radio dramas once populated the airwaves, fiction has never dominated the podcast charts. This all changed with the creation of horror, suspense, and sci-fi podcasts. Their popularity isn’t much of a surprise, but more so that it took this long to catch on. With horror themed movies and TV shows keeping us up at night, it was about time for the dark airwaves to make their mark.

Spider-Man is known as one of the luckiest men in the world of comic books when it comes to picking up the sexy ladies, but which of Peter Parker’s girlfriends have always stuck out as the most memorable?

Must Read Books for ‘Stranger Things’ Fans
If you’re like most of humanity, you are either in the midst of binge watching Stranger Things or you have finished up and left wondering “WTF?!” If you aren’t part of the above groups, GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE! If it wasn’t Eleven’s story, Dustin’s toothless banter, or the Upside Down that kept you coming back for more at 2:00 AM when you were supposed to be sleeping, it was the friendship among the young boys, the twisted story line and the Christmas lights. I know you remember the Christmas lights.

Why Women Relate to Harley Quinn
With the build up to the Suicide Squad movie spanning nearly TWO WHOLE YEARS and a promo that rivaled some of the biggest movies to date, this gang of misfits had a lot to live up to. With names like Jared Leto and Will Smith amongst the stars, it was hard to know who would steal the show, but Margot Robbie's portrayal of the Joker's battered lady friend Harley Quinn has definitely taken center stage.

Legendary Jewish Superheroes
In many respects you could say that the characters from the Torah were the superheroes of the previous century. Mythic figures like Moses, King Soloman, and Samson served as the superheroes for a generation over a millennia ago. It could be argued that Moses was the ultimate comic book hero who starred in the the second volume of the greatest comic book story ever written: the Jewish Torah. It should be no surprise that the entire superhero archetype was invented by Jews, and the genre has featured so many different Jewish creators. During the high holy days, do Jewish superheroes need forgiveness or have their names already been written in the book of life for their heroic deeds? Are they really judged on Yom Kippur like the rest of the tribe? If you believe any of this, then it's the time of the year to recognize the legendary Jewish superheroes.

Best Antiheroes in Comics
When we’re talking about the best antiheroes in comics, we’re generally referring to the controversial bunch of “grey” folks standing strong halfway between the shiny-white heroes and abyssal-black villains. They’re the fabulous shady bastards that somehow manage to promote justice and put a smile on our faces while leaving behind them colossal wreckage with dozens of victims caught in it incidentally.

Darkest Comic Book Storylines
Comic books may have started out as something that was meant to be sold to children alongside packs of bubblegum, but in the past few decades the audience for comics has grown-up with them. Publishers have all been tackling this demand for more mature darker content to try and feed a fan base looking for a little something more then just the standard superhero heroics in their usual comic book storylines. Writers like Alan Moore and Frank Millar have managed to elevate the medium by tackling more mature stories and themes. These deconstructions have gone a long way towards expanding the market for comic books and have given the fans some of the darkest comic book storylines of all time. We've collected a few of our personal favorites.
