From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.
Blood on the Covers
The last entry in our series, Murder in the Cheap Seats, saw us prowling around in back alleys exploring crime and detective stories. Hardened detectives chasing crooks, killers, and femme fatales were a common trend and were very popular. Not all pulp stories, however, worked the streets. Occasionally, these tales would venture into darker places, graveyards, crypts, and other shadowy locations where horrors lurked.

Superman
The first major project from James Gunn’s DCU was Superman. This was Gunn’s first chance to show us what he will be doing with some extremely iconic characters. From the looks of the trailer he packed as many characters into his theatrical debut as possible. We get a lantern AND a Hawk, and most importantly we get Supergirl and Krypto. David Cornsweet was an incredible casting choice and I was very much looking forward to James Gunn’s take on the DC Universe and its leading man.

Arrow had a triumphant eight year run. It was responsible for multiple spin-offs and even helped to engineer the TV adaptation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline. Oliver Queen certainly saved his city more times than we could count.

The Air Master Anime was Awesome!
In the early oughts, I was on a mission to watch all the martial arts #anime I could find, and believe me, that was a lot harder in the early 2000s than it is now. The discoveries I really enjoyed were titles like “Fist of the North Star”, “Shadow Skill”, and the OG “Baki The Grappler” that fortunately debuted before 3D slop infected anime like the bubonic plague. Overall though, there is one anime that stuck in my memory because of its wacky humor, it’s zany atypical characters, and even some deep moments that truly spoke to me. This anime is dubbed “Air Master”, and it is probably one of my favorite anime. I watch it at least once a year.

Dragon way: a new global narrative power in comics
The rise of Euromanga—comics created by European artists that adopt the aesthetic and narrative conventions of Japanese manga—represents a fascinating cross-cultural phenomenon. It is not merely an imitation but a hybrid art form that blends global influence with local European sensibilities. Within this burgeoning genre, Stefano Labbia’s Dragon Way stands as a compelling case study, offering readers more than a simple fantasy adventure; it presents a rich psychological framework for exploring resilience, the integration of conflicting worldviews, and the archetypal struggle for harmony!
