Old Man Logan vs Kraven the Hunter this June



One of my fanboy dreams has come true: James Howlett, aka Old Man Logan, will face Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter. The showdown was revealed in Marvel’s solicitations for June 2018 and “Kraven’s Hunt for Logan” will go down in Old Man Logan #41 and #42.

Kraven’s my favorite villain and it has always baffled me that the Spider-Man foe has never set his sights on the adamantium-clawed X-Man. Wolverine’s the best there is at what he does, and Kraven sure does love a challenge, so shouldn’t Sergei go after this formidable hero? Totally seems like a no-brainer, right? I figured this encounter may never happen, so I even wrote a very brief and brutal fan-fiction about it – don’t set your expectations too high if you check it out…

Who else is thrilled about this? I'm glad that Ed Brisson's taking the encounter to the Savage Land - it's the perfect setting for this match. It's looking like this story will be a total blast and I can't wait to read it. Sergei's got the tactical edge and he's an intelligent and resourceful fighter, but does he have what it takes to overcome Logan's ridiculously high durability and those dangerous adamantium claws? I'm rooting for Kraven, but I'm betting on Logan...

The Death of Superman: Enjoyed it? Buy it.

Written by Gregg Katzman The upcoming DC animated movie The Death of Superman has leaked way before its official release . I'm seeing a lot of positive tweets - some fans are even saying it's their new favorite DC animated movie - and that's not surprising since the movie's written by Peter J. Tomasi ( Superman Rebirth , Batman and Robin New 52 ) and co-directed by Sam Liu ( Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay , Teen Titans: The Judas Contract ) and Jake Castorena (storyboard artist for many great animated projects, like Justice League: Gods and Monsters , Batman: Assault on Arkham , and Beware the Batman ). On one hand, I'm really happy to see such enthusiastic comments about The Death of Superman . Taking on such an iconic story, especially within the confines of a relatively new animated universe's continuity (it started in Justice League: War ), is no easy feat. But on the other hand, I'm concerned that people won't add a digital or physical c

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War - The End of an Era

Seven years ago, the DC New 52 Animated Movie Universe was born. I remember it well because I was lucky enough to attend the world premiere of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox  at Comic-Con International 2013. I was writing for Comic Vine at the time, and I absolutely loved the movie. In fact, I liked it so much that I rushed back to my hotel room and began writing my review right away. While so many people at the convention met with friends, networked, and enjoyed being in San Diego on a Friday night, I sat in front of my laptop and started to type away. The Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox  premiere wrapped up around 9:30pm, and my glowing review was live on Comic Vine just a few hours later. Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert's Flashpoint  comic book event kicked off DC's slate of The New 52 comics back in 2011, but at the time of the animated movie's release, I had no idea that Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox  would actually spawn an entire universe of

Deadpool 2 review

Review by Gregg Katzman When many people think of Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, they think he’s basically just a joke character. Lots of fans think he’s just a loudmouth who loves to crack topical jokes while enduring a barrage of bullets and slicing his enemies to pieces, and that’s totally understandable since there are quite a few comics and media appearances that use the Merc with a Mouth for just comedic relief and action scenes. But there’s more to Deadpool than just jokes and violence. The best Deadpool stories always go beyond the comedy and fighting to take a good look at the man behind the mask; the man who uses humor to hide his emotions. Deadpool is a man that can’t seem to obtain true happiness – no matter how hard he tries, it always seems to be just out of reach. Deep down, he thinks he may not deserve real happiness, either. He may not be a traditional hero and always do the right thing, but he always has the potential to rise above and do what needs to be done to s
