You’ve heard the tales of tempestuous duo Stan Lee and Jack Kirby… and you need the hear them again in The Wonder Years.

Does the long-anticipated superhero all-star flick live up to the hype? Steve Stav’s short answer is “Hulk smash!”

Black Continentals, Las Vegas, the Cold War, and scantily clad, lethal women. A new James Bond movie? Nope. The retro-set prequel to Marvel Comics’ most popular franchise is full of surprises – and Ink 19’s resident mutant, Steve Stav , tries not to spoil too many of them in his review of X-Men: First Class.

Pierre Comtois breaks down the first ten years of Marvel into three phases and the comics that epitomize them in his Field Guide.

Jack Kirby was the creator or co-creator of almost every Marvel Comics super-hero and villain you ever heard of, including The Fantastic Four, Magneto, the X-Men, and Doctor Doom. Ben Varkentine says this book may not be the place to start for newcomers, but fans will have a picnic.

Wallace Wood was, unquestionably, one of the worldÃs greatest cartoonists. His work ranged from parody to mainstream superheroes to the undergrounds and was loved by his colleagues and fans alike. Yet this could not erase the rough edges of his life. Ben Varkentine takes a new look at an old favorite.

Who’s behind that wise-cracking mask? More importantly, who’s that voicing his girlfriend? Longtime comics fan Steve Stav catches up with Lisa Loeb and talks MTV’s Spider-Man and the obligatory Hello Kitty.

Hulk finally has movie. Hulk becomes Ang Lee’s cinematic plaything. Hulk smash – or does he? Steve Stav, resident Marvel Comics afficionado, explores the effects of gamma radiation in his green-tinted review.
