Ethan Van Sciver has been a part of comic book lore since the 1990s. He has drawn for DC Comics’ Green Lantern, DC Rebirth, Flash as well as Marvel Comics’ Wolverine, Deadpool, New X-Men, and so many others.

Marvel Studios has not announced any new Avengers films after Avengers: Endgame, but no doubt they are being planned since Phase Four of the MCU is coming in hot with Spider-Man: Far From Home.

There are many ways to describe the latest installment of the X-Men franchise, Logan, which follows Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse. Unfortunately, “a good movie” is not a way to describe it.

We have seen a lot of great X-Men villains in the movies. We have seen General Stryker, Bolivar Trask, Juggernaut, Sabretooth, and of course, Magneto and Mystique. These characters are pretty cool and we cannot wait to see Apocalypse and a cool version of Dark Phoenix, but there are a few villains that the X-Men…

I have met very few comic book nerds that don’t like at least one anime film. Those worlds often collide as they have similar themes and stunning characters, both heroes and villains.
