Have we as members of the comic book fandom lost our roots to this genre of camaraderie and cultural heritage? The written values, and artistic panels have seem to lost its meaning in regards to pop cultural imagery and larger than life stories. What I mean by this, is that the convention scene has been overridden by the New York Comic Con’s transformation into a “Hollywood” phenomenon, by which fans purchase countless tickets to re-sell them while celebrities take over with their expensive autograph sessions.  

So, there have been many rumors floating around about who the next villain might be for season 2 of Daredevil. The hit hit Marvel series on Netflix. Well, the producers have just cast the role of Bullseye…

In a world of constant remakes and reboots such as Planet of the Apes, and Mad Max, what can we say for re-vamps within the comic book industry? Chris Warner’s Barbwire comes to mind at this point. With a limited series run from 1994 to 1995, the Dark Horse team (the original CGW) backed Warner’s creation during the cyber punk and post-apocalyptic settings of the early 90’s.  

As newer, younger bands infiltrate the ranks of metal, it sometimes becoems quite hard to find the good ones. That’s what Metal Machine is here for, to separate out the week crap from the good shit, and today, we have some really good shit! We review Wrvth by the band WRVTH!  

Hushed whispers cut across Battleworld. One of the most vile villains in history still straws breath. But how can this be? He should be dead! And yet his legend grows even stronger.
