I've Joined the Valiant Universe!

Hey, everyone!

You've probably noticed I haven't updated this site in quite some time. I do apologize for that, but I promise there's a really good reason for it... I've joined Valiant Entertainment as the Marketing Coordinator! Basically, I'll get to spend each and every day generating new ways to get the word out about a publisher I've passionately supported for years now. Pretty awesome gig, right? You can read more about it here.

Are you totally new to the Valiant Universe or maybe you need help deciding which title to pick up next? Please know I am always happy to make reading recommendations and the easiest way to ask me is via Twitter.

Stay tuned for more updates. Hope everyone's 2019 is off to a great start!

Comic Book Battles: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs Kraven the Hunter

Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter, prides himself on being the best hunter in the Marvel Universe. He loves nothing more than the thrill of the hunt and he’s set his sights on Spider-Man, Tigra, Black Panther, Daredevil, Black Widow, Scarlet Spider, and many others. What would happen if this formidable foe bumped into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the IDW Publishing series, though? Would Kraven’s tactics allow him to defeat the four mutant brothers, or would the Heroes in a Half Shell take down Spidey’s savage villain? Will my favorite team or my favorite villain be left standing when the dust settles? To keep the fight as fair as possible, let’s imagine this encounter takes place in a generic city setting at night and, aside from the combatants, it’s unpopulated. This is a totally random encounter, meaning the two sides know nothing about each other and they’ll have to learn more about what they're facing throughout the brawl. The Ninja Turtles just know that...

Comic Book Battles: Green Arrow vs Old Man Logan

For the second edition of Comic Book Battles (click here for the first fight), I thought it would be fun to use two heroes with completely different strengths and tactics: DC's Emerald Archer versus Marvel's Elderly X-Man! Even in his old age, James ‘Logan’ Howlett, aka Old Man Logan, is tough to drop and he’s a talented brawler; however, his options in a battle are very limited. Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, may not be the best fighter in his universe, but he makes up for that with astonishing accuracy and cleverly using a variety of trick arrows that range from sonics to explosives. To better picture the entertaining encounter, imagine this fight takes place in a generic city setting. It’s nighttime, the street’s unpopulated (aside from the two heroes, of course), and they’ve spotted each other from a pretty good distance – let’s say 100 feet or so. This is a completely random encounter, meaning neither hero knows anything about their enemy – they’re from...

Comic Book Battles: Deadshot vs Moon Knight

What would happen if there was a clash between DC’s accurate assassin and Marvel’s Fist of Khonshu? Would you side with Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot, because he has uncanny aim and he doesn’t hold back? Or would you bet on Marc Spector, aka Moon Knight, because he’s a brutal and highly skilled vigilante? Let’s cast aside personal preference and take a close look at the pros and cons that both of these fictional fighters are bringing to the battle. Let’s pretend this brawl between Deadshot and Moon Knight goes down in a standard city setting. It’ll take place during night, the area is unpopulated, and they’ve spotted each other from a pretty decent distance – let’s say 50 feet or so. This is a totally random encounter, meaning neither character knows anything about their opponent – they are from different worlds, after all. Seeing as Moon Knight has gone through several changes over the years, let’s imagine Moon Knight has his “classic” gear, meaning the equipment he had in hi...
