Shadow the Hegdehog Got a Trademark?
I can't believe it, October 8. (Yes, I know it's been a while) It was confirmed that Sega got a new trademark for my favorite red-and-black hedgehog shadow. I am so excited. But what can the trademark be for? Could it be for a new video game or a remake of the first in 2005? There wasn't much good feedback on it. But if there is one thing I do hope they use the trademark for, it is for an animated feature film.

The Punisher’s Skull Has Been Hijacked. Content Warning.
Trigger Warning: This article discusses violence, vigilantism, and extremist ideology. Frank Castle’s white skull emblem, adorning the Punisher’s chest, is one of the most misinterpreted and misappropriated symbols in comic book history. Marvel’s tragic antihero, the Punisher, is not meant to glorify lawlessness or authoritarian revenge; instead, he serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of an individual's moral code overriding the very concept of justice.

When Reality Slides
Reality—however you define it (and most define it as a deeply “multi-layered onion,” to borrow from Jim Goad)—cannot be denied having its own hypnotic, imprisoning power. We know, ultimately, that everything is an illusion, a surface. A blink of an eye, the pull of a trigger, and all is forgotten—all erased. Instantly.

Invented Original Characters: Leech Vampires
Growing up my dream job was to be a comic book artist/writer. But with very little artistic talent that dream died pretty quickly. Now I do my best to bring my characters to life using apps like factory of heroes, swordmaker, armormaker, you doodle and photo cutout. They don't always turn out looking very good but I get more excited about the concepts and stories behind the characters than how well I can make the character look good. Sometimes my characters are from cultures I am not a part of because I think it fits their story or other aspects about them. I am not a cultural expert but at the very least I hope no one is upset by me using aspects of cultures I'm not a part of and find interesting. That said below is my idea for leech themed vampires.

Phase 1 of the MCU saw Kevin Feige and his team take a chance on launching a completely new continuity. Having Iron Man as the tentpole for the universe and giving more focus on the likes of Thor and Captain America was a real swing. But the question is, of this six-movie phase, where do they each stand in the rankings? Let's unpack that.
