Spotlight on: Silk - The Life and Times of Cindy Moon
To my utter dismay, it was announced last month that Marvel has canceled the Silk ongoing series. While the series is admittedly, not as popular as the likes of Spider-Gwen, Deadpool, or even Squirrel Girl, it contains a truly compelling story, and a highly relatable lead, in the form of Cindy Moon, aka, Silk!

Comic conventions, horror, and collector cons. You name it, and everyone I went to, I saw lots of people walking around wearing amazing costumes. One day at New York Comic Con, I saw a guy dressed as Green Arrow and his lady was dressed as Black Canary. They looked like they practically stepped right out of the comics! I said to myself… “I wanna do that!!” so I put some things together (mind you I don't sew) and made my first cosplay, my little version of Nick Fury for East Coast Comic Con in 2015. It got a lot of attention so, I was like, let’s see what else I can do, and the rest is history.

Why Are We Still Watching Transformers?
I was eleven when the first Transformers movie came out. It took me three years to see it, and for a fourteen-year-old kid just discovering movies, it wasn't bad. It looked cool, had pretty people in it, and had just enough of a story to be engaging. It was no The Rock, but still. I skipped the second one despite a glowing review from my cousin, saw the third for a laugh, and my friend dragged me to the fourth because it was Friday and we weren't cool or old enough to drink.

Top Ten: Comic Book Movies!
Comic books. They have for the better part of the century been the fodder for films. But what are the best of these? With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman making trucks full of money, we’ve decided to countdown our top ten comic book films! But what oh what were our rules? Well, first the movie had to be based on a comic book, graphic novel, or manga. Now, this does include things like A History of Violence and V For Vendetta. We didn’t just cater to the superheroes on this one! Secondly, we’re disqualifying 2017 releases. So even though Wonder Woman is a fantastic film worth your money it won’t be on here. And lastly, each list we received had ten films on it, each film was given a point total corresponding with their position (movie ten got one point, movie one receives 10 points etc.). So without further ado, it’s clobberin’ time!

For Whom the 'Anthem' Tolls
Let's begin with some nostalgia. It's June 2006, you're a pimply-faced teenager fresh into the summer vacation and you're hyped about this year's E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo). Once the convention begins, every major publisher of AAA gaming announces their flagship title, and as you're already ecstatic nerves absorb all of the video game glee of hearing names like Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Gears of War, and Mass Effect, you think this is the meaning of being a part of this community, a community of dreamers.

Ken: He’s Just an American Guy
The artifact historically known as Ken — a template for male American imagery for generations — has always been something of a moving target. From his early days as a miniature stand-in for the ideal guy next door in the parallel dollhouse America of 1961 (paired up with his girlfriend, female analog and fellow everyday archetype, the legendary Barbie), Ken would slowly, in some ways glacially, come to symbolize variations in the idea of the average American guy.

Wonder Woman Review
Wonder Woman unfolds as if it’s got multiple personalities. An attempt at course correcting the perceived stuttering leviathan of the DCEU. A debut of one of pop culture’s most revered and popular comic book icons, which is also the first major superhero film that has a female hero front and center (I really don’t want to count Catwoman or Elektra). On top of that, having a female director at the helm, and a world war one setting that doesn’t exactly scream of nostalgia.
