Spoiler alert for Avengers: Infinity War

Cry all you want at the death-filled finale of Avengers: Infinity War. In truth, the movie’s most upsetting move was its treatment of the Children of Thanos.

Let’s put aside the comic book source that inspired the Mad Titan’s quartet of cronies for a moment. The beings we meet in the movie are cool characters unto themselves.

Donald Glover was all set to do an animated Deadpool series with Marvel TV..until he wasn’t. Thank goodness he has Twitter.

That cartoon could have been epic. The Atlanta creator and true star of Solo: A Star Wars Story knows his way around both comedy and social commentary, and he surely would have done amazing things with Deadpool.

But alas, it’s not to be. Glover and Marvel TV parted ways over the weekend, with FX — the network Deadpool was intended for (technically it was FXX) — citing “creative differences.” A real shame. Read more…

As students across America prepare to stage a National School Walkout in protest of gun violence on March 14, cartoonist Kai Texel wants to make sure they known their rights.

Texel partered with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) and National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) to launch Be Heard! — a free educational comic book that seeks to inform students of the best practices to carry out while protesting, peacefully assembling, and asserting their First Amendment rights.

The nationwide school and university walkout will take place on the one-month anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14.  Read more…
