I’m pretty sure I’ve told you guys how much I love me some Jaime Reyes. If not, feel free to note now– I love me some Jaime Reyes. I loyally followed the character’s run on the Blue Beetle solo title, and was sad when it ended, despite the series going out with a fantastic bang.

SPOILERS. Miles Morales, the multi-ethnic Afro-Latino-American Ultimate Spider-Man, is incredibly awesome.

Here at Hathor, the staff have written extensively on gaming culture, comics culture, children’s entertainment, SF/F [...]
To the Americans in the Hathor readership, Happy US Independence Day! To celebrate the occasion, I am wearing my very festive vampire fang earrings. Remember to use sunscreen out there, non-vampires, and to stay hydrated! Jason Stackhouse comes to in a dark room somewhere, with hound dogs baying in the background. His vision is swirling and somewhat dim. “Peggy?” “We ain’t s’posed t’talk t’you,” says [...]

Last time on GoT: Ned Stark is a fool! Robb Stark is slightly less of a fool! Jon Snow is a broody fool! The Stark women wonder what their menfolk have gotten them [...]
