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: 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...

Zack Snyder: The Conversation Needs to Change

Article by Gregg Katzman; photo by Kevin Mazur Director Zack Snyder gets a lot of hate online – I think that’s putting it pretty lightly, too. His recent work with DC’s iconic and beloved characters – Man of Steel , Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , (some of) Justice League – was divisive among fans and received mostly negative reviews from critics. Look, it’s totally cool if you’re not a fan of those projects – I don’t agree with you, but I do get it. There are still a ton of debates going on in the fan community and among critics about Snyder’s take on the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, but sometimes the especially harsh comments appear to be directed at Zack Snyder himself instead of his work. Constructive criticism about his movies is one thing, but why make it personal and cruel, especially when Snyder appears to be a legitimately kind and respectable guy? When did we start caring about fictional characters and films more than actual people? I’m baffled by the p...
