Warning: contains spoilers for Storm #1After the tragic fall of Krakoa, the X-Men are scattered across the world, and that includes the iconic hero Storm. Ororo Munroe has been many things throughout her incredible life - weather witch, current and past Avenger, Queen of Wakanda, Regent of Arakko - but the new Storm series will see the woman become a walking myth, as Ororo transforms into the Eternal Storm and officially becomes a god.

The Omega-level mutant Storm has been called a goddess countless times over the years, including the god Thor dubbing her the Goddess of Thunder, but the powerful hero has never truly been considered a god in the Marvel Cosmic Order.

The new Storm solo series - from writer Murewa Ayodele with artist Lucas Werneck - seeks to change that, with the cosmic entity known as Eternity deeming Ororo Munroe "worthy" in the conclusion to the issue,...

As her fame spreads across alien worlds, the galaxy is slowly embracing its newest guardian.

Doctor Doom surpasses Doctor Strange as Sorcerer Supreme in Blood Hunt #5 with unparalleled knowledge and power. As the new Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Doom merges science with magic, understanding the universe's dual forces in G.O.D.S. Despite his villainous nature, Doctor Doom's mastery of both magic and science makes him the logical choice for Sorcerer Supreme.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Blood Hunt #5! Doctor Strange is practically synonymous with the title of Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel Comics, despite being far from the only magic-user to carry that mantle. Strange has proven time and again that hes not just the most famous Sorcerer Supreme, but an immensely powerful one, even when compared to his predecessors. However, Marvel Comics just got a new Superior Sorcerer Supreme, and hes actually better than Doctor Strange for one mind-blowing reason.

Reed Richards' influence reshaped the cosmic order in Marvel's multiverse, dividing magic and science into distinct camps. The new multiverse's systematic hierarchies were created by Reed Richards, resulting in a more ordered cosmic structure. Immortal Thor #11 explores the impact of Reed Richards on the multiverse, hinting at possible subconscious influences.

Contains Spoilers for Immortal Thor #11!Marvels multiverse is vast and complicated, but a new revelation might just explain why its newest form feels so much more hierarchical and ordered than ever before. As one of the most mysterious Asgardians has just revealed, a major Marvel hero had a profound impact on the multiverse when they once put it back together. Its this influence that now divides magic and science into distinct camps, even if the person responsible perhaps doesnt know it.

Immortal Thor #11 reveals that Marvel's new cosmic status quo is a direct result of the multiverse being created by Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic.

Marvel Comics introdues Thor and Loki's terrifying brother Ullr, the God of Doom in The Immortal Thor #11. The God of Doom is also known as Ullr the Wanderer, meaning he knew where Tyr disappeared to, making him integral to the success of the Children of Odin's mission. Ullr, despite his terror-inducing reputation, plays a crucial role in the Marvel Universe by leading Thor, Loki, and the other Children of Odin to Tyr.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for The Immortal Thor #11! Marvel Comics fans are fairly familiar with Thor and Lokis many siblings, as theyve been popping up here and there in Thor comics for the last few decades. But, for those that arent, Thors latest comic series gave fans a nice refresher, as Thor has called all his siblings to Asgard for an important mission. Well, except one, who actually showed up to this gathering uninvited by Thor, marking his official Marvel Comics debut.

Jonathan Hickman's Doctor Doom one-shot showcases Doom at his most vulnerable, delving deep into his character without sacrificing his characteristic imposing nature, as he faces the universe-ending threat of Galactus. Artist Sanford Greene's work in Doom #1 perfectly complements the story, creating a desolate world that emphasizes themes of perseverance and survival against all odds. The ending of Doom #1 solidifies it as a modern masterpiece, conveying a powerful message about embracing life in the face of death.

Warning: Spoilers for Doom #1!Jonathan Hickman's Doctor Doom one-shot feels like a return to form for both the character and the writer behind it. Hickman just finished his series G.O.D.S., one of Marvel's most original works in years. However, reactions have been mixed. For some, it is a required taste that's hard to absorb, and for others, a mind-bending odyssey whereas Doom feels akin to his groundbreaking work on X-Men and Ultimate Spider-Man.

G.O.D.S. #7 introduces the Vostok 7, a Soviet space mission that mirrors the Fantastic Four, with much more tragic results. G.O.D.S. #7 artfully mirrors Fantastic Four's origin story with bold color choices and a character risking everything for family. Writer Jonathan Hickman's fascination with character parallels and Soviet history shines in this new comic issue.

Contains spoilers for G.O.D.S. #7!The Fantastic Four once set off on a space-faring mission that changed their lives forever, and now Marvel has just introduced another group whose own flight makes them both parallels and opposites to the Ff. The tragedy of this other group is that their own accident makes them victims, not heroes. According to all official accounts, there was never a Russian Fantastic Four equivalent, but theres still one hero who remembers them.

Marvel's cosmic hierarchy is evolving rapidly, introducing powerful new entities and gods and reshaping the universe's structure. The Avengers are ill-prepared for the looming cosmic conflict, as new threats emerge beyond their current capabilities. The Marvel Universe is heading towards Infinity Gauntlet-scale chaos, with cosmic entities clashing for control of reality.

The cosmology of Marvel Comics can be hard to grasp, even for the heroes that defend it - however, a new level of complexity means the Avengers aren't ready for the next cosmic-scale disaster coming their way. From well-known forces of nature like Galactus, to more mysterious powers like the Stranger, the Marvel multiverse is ever-expanding. However, the last couple of years have seen something of an arms race in Marvel's cosmos, and the Avengers are no longer strong enough to keep order. All signs point to the fact that Marvel is heading for an Infinity Gauntlet-scale conflict.

Dragon Ball's characters are iconic and well-known for their serious strength and power, so it's easy to forget that the series was always intended to have a healthy sense of humor to go with it. One of the most enduring aspects of Akira Toriyama's characteristic humor comes out in one of the most easily overlooked places: the character's names.

No character in Dragon Ball is named by accident. Each and every character is thoughtfully named as a humorous pun. It's a running gag throughout the series, and even Goku wasn't safe from it in the end. While many of Dragon Ball's best pun names are even better in the original Japanese, some of them translated perfectly into English in a way that's just as silly and memorable as Toriyama intended.

Jonathan Hickman is the most rock-solid superstar working in comics today. He is the mastermind behind arguably the best Marvel crossover of all time in Secret Wars. His splashy return to Marvel from a post-Secret Wars creator-owned break was the biggest event in superhero books in the last half-decade, relaunching a stagnant X-Men line with a monster hit in House of X and Powers of X. But X-Men wasn’t his only pitch when he came back to Marvel: he also had a big cosmic idea that Marvel greenlit alongside HoX/PoX: G.O.D.S., a sweeping new series revamping the cosmology of the Marvel Universe and reimagining how cosmic entities like Eternity or the Living Tribunal interact with the heroes we see every day. We talked with Hickman about his big idea and just how small it can be.

Marvel's cosmic entities are being reimagined in G.O.D.S, with Oblivion being the most radically altered so far, going from an imposing, muscular figure to a mass of goo and claws. Artist Rom Lim is providing variant covers for G.O.D.S #3-8, in a series that pays homage to his work on 1994's Cosmic Powers. Oblivion's role in G.O.D.S may have been subtly set up in the first issue of the series, as protagonist Wyn struggles with his purpose in the cosmic battle between the forces of good and evil.

As Marvel’s cosmic entities ascend to new levels in G.O.D.S, the being known as Oblivion has been given a stunning redesign. Delving into new corners of horror with this updated look, Oblivion represents the part of humanity that just wants to give up, which makes fighting against them all the more difficult.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a few brushes with the fantasy genre in its latest productions. From the Thor and Doctor Strange movies to the upcoming Agatha: Darkhold Diaries series, fantasy is becoming a popular accompanying genre in the MCU. However, there is one other character that can take the lore of fantasy and magic to the next level: Dane Whitman. Better known as the Black Knight, Dane Whitman was introduced in Eternals in 2021.

Just like Hickman's successful revamps of other franchises, G.O.D.S. promises to breathe new life into Marvel's cosmic beings, with the same treatment given to the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and X-Men. #MarvelComics

Warning: contains spoilers for G.O.D.S #1!

G.O.D.S. #1 is a trippy and mind-bending odyssey through the edges of the Marvel Universe. Announced months ago and shrouded in secrecy, G.O.D.S. promises to redefine the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe and the first issue makes good on this, taking readers on a thrill ride into a realm previously unseen, one where the stakes have never been higher or more deadly.

Marvel is radically redefining its cosmic order with the freshly launched G.O.D.S. series from game-changing X-Men scribe, the author behind 2019's "House of X" and the entire direction of the X-franchise in the years since. "House of X" was a massive book, loaded with supplemental materials, which provided rich, and at times critical, context for the massive era-defining saga. In an interview discussing his latest offering, Hickman suggested readers should expect similar from G.O.D.S.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Hickman said that the hardcover edition of G.O.D.S. will be "House of X-size," with much of the writer's signature surplus content appearing for the first time in collected form.

Even before it reaches its collected form, G.O.D.S. will be eight issues that are, according to Hickman, "about 12 issues worth of pages."

The scope of the Marvel Universe has been expanding lately, with the addition of new cosmic-level entities to the company's already-sprawling fictional reality. The new Captain Marvel series from writer Alyssa Wong will join this trend, pitting Carol Danvers against a mysterious, and heretofore unknown, cosmic threat known as "the Undone."

In a recent interview with Looper, writer Alyssa Wong gave some tantalizing details about what to expect from her upcoming Captain Marvel run, in what she calls her "most cosmic-scale Marvel book."

That scale will come in the form of "the Undone," a villain that Wong promises will bring shades of horror to the series.

The Undone Is A Galactus-Level Threat To The Marvel Universe

While Galactus remains the most recognizable god-like being in Marvel lore, the company's tapestry of ongoing multiversal stories has always featured cosmic-powered characters, such as the Watchers and the Beyonder. More recently, Marvel's pantheon...

Marvel has unveiled a bold new design for the Galactus-level entity The In-Betweener. One of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, the In-Betweener and many other cosmic beings are set for a drastic overhaul in the forthcoming G.O.D.S series from writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Valerio Schiti. The In-Betweener’s new appearance honors the spirit of the character, while giving them an exciting new look.

Marvel unveiled Schiti’s new design for the In-Betweener on its website. The In-Betweener's new look keeps their dual nature intact. Schiti’s design imparts an aura of menace and oddly enough, sensuality to the character; instead of wearing their usual robes, the In-Betweener is naked, with a dark cloak strategically covering up their private parts. One of the In-Betweener’s eyes is glowing dark red, and in the background, fans can see Jim Starlin’s original design for the character for reference.

Jonathan Hickman, known for his successful reinvention of the X-Men, is working on a top-secret project for Marvel. Hickman's broad Marvel work, such as with the Fantastic Four and Avengers, suggests that he may be working on Spider-Man or an obscure character. Hickman's ability to breathe new life into the X-Men franchise means he can do the same for any other Marvel property, making his mystery project highly anticipated.

After successfully reinventing the X-Men, Jonathan Hickman returns to Marvel for a project he swore he would never work on. Hickman teases a mystery project in a new interview, suggesting he'll be turning his attention to a book he never thought he would work on.

Ever since Marvel unveiled the upcoming G.O.D.S. series – from iconic creator Jonathan Hickman and artist Valerio Schiti – the company has slowly been revealing exciting details about the mysterious new storyline for Earth-616's cosmic beings, and the Babylon Event coming to destroy the universe. Now, Hickman has teased that major cosmic entities at Marvel all have their own "Peter Parker" secret identities, allowing them to walk among humanity on Earth.

When G.O.D.S. was announced, Jonathan Hickman revealed he wrote the series "bible" while simultaneously writing House of X/Powers of X, a series which revolutionized the X-Men franchise.

G.O.D.S. will have a similar massive impact on the Marvel Cosmic universe, with the series attemptimg to revitalize Marvel's cosmic entities for a modern era. Hickman stated that giving these abstract beings human form, "...will make these characters more useable and more frequently appearing in other Marvel books as well."

Al Ewing's new Thor series, Immortal Thor, has only just kicked off its run, but it is already reinventing the cosmology of the Marvel Universe, exploring the God of Thunder's relationship to his true mother, the Elder God Gaea, and promising to take the character to an entirely new power level, as he declares himself "Thor the Gaea-Son."

Immortal Thor #1 – written by Al Ewing, with art by Martin Coccolo, color by Matthew Wilson, and lettering by Joe Sabino – finds its protagonist confronting beings far greater than even Asgard's gods, setting up Thor's own path to unleashing his own Elder God potential throughout the course of the series.

G.O.D.S. introduces the concept of magic and science as opposing forces in the Marvel Universe, with cosmic entities belonging to different factions. The series focuses on a personal story, highlighting the relationship between Wyn and Aiko Maki, ex-romantic partners on different sides of the divide, with stakes ranging from personal to universal.

Marvel has released a number of new teasers for G.O.D.S., the new comic series co-created by Jonathan Hickman, the original architect of its most recent X-Men status quo. While G.O.D.S. remains somewhat shrouded in mystery, the ambition is obvious, with a slew of new characters, designs, and ideas.

The Staff of the Living Tribunal,...

Marvel has revealed the existence of a “Babylon Event,” which could potentially destroy the universe in the upcoming G.O.D.S. miniseries. In 2019, writer Jonathan Hickman revolutionized the X-Men with House of X and Powers of X, which relaunched Marvel’s mutants into a bold new era. Later this year, Hickman, and artist Valerio Schti will do the same for the magical corner of the Marvel Universe in G.O.D.S. and central to it is a mysterious “Babylon Event,” which spells certain doom.

Marvel’s forthcoming G.O.D.S. series is going to be even bigger than its X-Men reboot. In 2019, writer Jonathan Hickman revamped the mutant corner of the Marvel Universe in the landmark House of X/Powers of X. Hickman and his collaborators shattered the X-Men’s status quo and launched them into a bold new era. Now, history is set to repeat itself as Hickman and artist Valerio Schiti launch G.O.D.S., which promises to upend the magical corner of the Marvel Universe.

In an interview with Comicbook.com, Hickman elaborates more on G.O.D.S, which ships in October. Hickman wrote the "bible" for G.O.D.S. upon his return to Marvel in 2019 - at the same time he was getting warmed up on House of X/Powers of X. Hickman is asked if the two projects share any similarities, having been written at the same time. Hickman replies they are "pretty far apart,...

The upcoming series G.O.D.S. from Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti will revolutionize the entire cosmic structure of the Marvel Universe, and that includes upending the current understanding of Marvel cosmic beings like the nigh-omnipotent Eternity, Infinity, and the Living Tribunal.

G.O.D.S., a massive endeavor that Hickman actually pitched years ago at the same time as his X-Men relaunch House of X/Powers of X, will introduce an entire cast of new magic and science-based cosmic gods to Marvel Comics, many of whom will debut at Krakoa's upcoming Hellfire Gala 2023.

The driving force behind G.O.D.S. is the new character Wyn, a mysterious and ancient cosmic being who first debuted alongside Doctor Strange in Fcbd 2023: Avengers/X-Men, but many of the other cosmic G.O.D.S. will appear in the upcoming X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023, and the gorgeous cover by Valerio Schiti revealed by Marvel and seen above features Wyn alongside Aiko Maki and Dmitri,...

A secret pantheon of cosmic beings within the Marvel Universe has just been revealed in the lead up to Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti's upcoming G.O.D.S. series, with new characters like Wyn, Aiko Maki, and Mia the Magic Girl unveiled in gorgeous variant covers that will debut throughout August.

Series creator and writer Jonathan Hickman has said that when he came back to Marvel several years ago he wrote two series "bibles," House of X/Powers of X and G.O.D.S. That means this new series has been cooking for at least five years, giving Hickman an impressive amount of time to work with these new characters.

Now Marvel has released several variant covers featuring the new characters from G.O.D.S. from artists like Bryan Hitch, Ema Lupacchino, Salvador Larocca, and Todd Nauck. The publisher has also revealed that each of these issues will feature the highlighted character in a backup...

As Marvel Comics' newest era begins with the launch of exciting sagas like Ultimate Invasion, Uncanny Avengers, G.O.D.S, and the X-Men's Fall of X, an exciting one-shot titled Marvel Zero will collect the beginning of each new journey for Earth-616's most beloved heroes.

Marvel has been incredibly busy over the past few months with major events, like Judgment Day, Sins of Sinister, Reckoning War, Dark Web, and many others. While this summer will see events like Contest of Chaos and Summer of Symbiotes, it is incredibly exciting that some brand-new, non-event projects are launching.

Marvel Zero is a can't-miss one-shot from writers Jonathan Hickman, Al Ewing, Zeb Wells, and Gerry Duggan and artists Patrick Gleason, Cafu, Joshua Cassara, Javier Garron, Valerio Schiti, and Bryan Hitch. It collects deluxe editions of both of Marvel's Free Comic Book Day Gold titles: Fcbd 2023: Avengers/X-Men and Fcbd 2023: Venom/Spider-Man. The...

Earlier today, Deadline and other outlets reported that horror maestro Mike Flanagan had made overtures to Warner Bros. Discovery about a potential Clayface film. Inside sources claimed the director had pitched a new feature revolving around the Batman villain that would show the character in a new, less villainous light. Furthermore, Flanagan and his Intrepid Pictures partner Trevor Macy were said to have met personally with James Gunn and Peter Safran to propose the idea as part of the executives' first phase of the new Dcu - Gods and Monsters. However, with rumors swirling like crazy, Flanagan finally put the rumors to bed on Twitter.

Marvel Comics' pantheon of cosmic beings is about to be reshaped in the House of Ideas' new ambitious series, G.O.D.S. Coming from Jonathan Hickman, Valerio Schiti, and Marte Gracia, this epic journey promises to build a brand-new Marvel mythology, reshaping the Marvel Universe as fans know it.

First teased at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, G.O.D.S. is the "mystery project" on which Hickman has been working since he left the X-Men franchise, after revolutionizing Marvel's mutants by ushering in the age of Krakoa. Through a trailer released by Marvel, fans can get a first glimpse at G.O.D.S., coming in Fall 2023, which promises to tell a story that takes place "in a special corner of the Marvel Universe - in the cracks that lie at the intersection of science and magic". In the trailer, Doctor Strange meets Wyn, a mysterious new character whose design was first unveiled during Marvel's New York Comic-Con 2022 announcements,...

The four DC movies that will be released in 2023 can begin to shape a more defined cinematic future for the DC Universe. It's no secret that DC movies have struggled to create a cohesive live-action cinematic franchise in the past decade. Now, Warner Bros. is putting an end to the Dceu with four movies that will conclude the universe established by Man of Steel, paving the way for the birth of a brand-new franchise free from direct connections to the now-defunct Snyderverse.

The new Dcu's slate, helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran, will introduce a new universe filled with popular DC characters such as Superman and Swamp Thing, beginning with the Dcu's first chapter, "Gods and Monsters." But to get there, the Dceu will need to gradually transition across 2023's Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Each of these cinematic...

Now this was a damn good Oscar Night.

The 95th Academy Awards show sure helped dispel the bad odor of the past few years. Watching the In Memoriam interlude last year, as a cheerleader squad honored dead people by singing “Spirit in the Sky,” I said aloud, “This show can’t possibly get any worse.” But saying this on Oscar Night is like a Mel Brooks movie where someone says, “At least it’s not raining.” Reader, it got worse. But this year was the zippiest, most fun Oscar bash in ages.

An emotional Brendan Fraser won his first Oscar for The Whale, thanking director Darren Aronofsky “for throwing me a creative lifeline and hauling me aboard the good ship The Whale.”

Fighting back tears, Fraser credited the other actors in the category by saying “gentlemen, you laid your whale-size hearts bare so that we could see into your souls like no one else could do and it is my honor to be named along side of you in this category.” He also singled out co-star Hong Chau by saying, “I want to tell you that only whales can swim at [her] depth of the talent.”

“I started in this business 30 years ago and things didn’t come easily to me,” Fraser said. “There was a facility that I didn’t appreciate at the time, until it stopped. And I just want to say thank you for this acknowledgement because it couldn’t be done without my cast.

Announced as part of the DC Universe's first chapter entitled "God and Monsters," HBO Max is developing Lanterns, a new series starring Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two of the most famous Green Lanterns in the DC Universe. With both Jordan and Stewart having tenures on the Justice League and having led the entire Green Lanterns Corps in the comics, it's going to take two very dynamic and capable actors to bring both of them to life in the new DC Universe. Likewise, they'll also need to have good chemistry as partners protecting Sector 2814.

Described by new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran as "True Detective in space", Lanterns is set to star Hal Jordan and John Stewart together in live-action for the very first time, the very first human Green Lanterns of Oa in the original comics. Additionally, James Gunn has teased just how important Lanterns...

A DC Universe theory links the formation of the new Justice League with the upcoming Superman: Legacy and The Authority movies. Following the announcement that James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios would create a new DC Universe starting with a Superman reboot, part of the DC Universe’s Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters was revealed. Consisting of live-action movies, live-action shows, and animated series, the initial DC Universe slate is promising a new take on the franchise, with several characters that were not in the Dceu now set to make their debut. Still, one major DC property was lacking from the initial slate – the Justice League.

So far, there has only been one theatrical Justice League movie, 2017’s Justice League. Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League, the Snyder Cut, was released in 2021 as a four-hour cut that set up at least two Justice League sequels, although those...
