This has to be the weirdest 'Must Have' collectible on the market right now.

Before Mike got a hold of the emerald archer, he was (in my opinion) a terrible character.

Marvel has finally misfired, and Marvelites are not amused.  Iron Fist, the latest Netflix series from the Marvel pantheon, premiered last week with a thud.  The star of the series is Game Of Thrones alum Finn Jones.  One would think that playing swordmaster Loras Tyrell would make Jones the perfect actor for the role of Danny Rand who wields the power of the Iron Fist...

We here at Townsquare Media Shreveport/Bossier are in the process of putting together this year's Geek'd Con which happens in August.  I hadn't been very familiar with Geek Culture heretofore, but Greg Atoms and others are bringing me up to speed...

A sad day for fans of Preacher co-creator and revered comic artist Steve Dillon, as the Hellblazer and Punisher icon has passed away at age 54. Dillon had worked on everything from Doctor Who, to Nick Fury and Judge Dredd, including the original Preacher art-work alongside co-creator Garth Ennis.

This week at Gamescom, NetherRealm Studios unleashed its latest two roster additions to Injustice 2 upon the world. Fresh off their starring turns in Suicide Squad, both Harley Quinn and Deadshot will be front and center when the DC fighting game sequel hits shelves next year. Harley Quinn's return was about as easy to predict as the inclusion of the Trinity, but Deadshot is a bit of a surprise addition that gives Injustice 2 a bit more ranged variety. Both are shown off in the latest trailer, which also gives us a glimpse at a number of armor variations you can earn for the Suicide Squad members.

The question most often asked of the ComicsAlliance staff is a variation of, “Which comic books should I be reading?” or, “I’m new to comics, what’s a good place to start?” The Wednesday deluge of new comic books, graphic novels and collected editions can be daunting even for the longtime reader, much less for those totally unfamiliar with creators, characters and publishers, and the dark mysteries of comic book shopping like variants, pre-ordering, and formats. It’s with these challenges in mind that we’ve created Best Comic Books Ever (This Week), an ongoing guide curated by the ComicsAlliance staff. This is where new comics readers and seasoned Wednesday shoppers alike can find our picks of the best books the medium has to offer.

Suicide Squad is the latest film from DC Comics' cinematic universe, and while it has received mostly negative reviews, many die-hard DC fans have come away thrilled by the villain-centric romp. If you're one of those that loved the film and want more comics in the same vein --- but you already know to check out the John Ostrander, Kim Yale and Luke McDonnell run on the series --- we've got a list of five independent comics to seek out next. Love that? Try this!

Last year, Geek'd Con forever changed Shreveport. What started as a small idea, bloomed into a movement. The reason the movement took off, was people like you. It was kind of a crazy idea: Shreveport doesn't have a comic con, what if someone just started one...

2nd & Charles Animania has grown into a powerful force in the Shreveport/Bossier geek culture. This year's event will be March 5th and 6th at the Bossier City 2nd & Charles on Airline Dr. The weekend will be full of video game tournaments, prizes, cosplay contests, and special guests. One of...

Just look at the characters he's created: The New Teen Titans, Dick Grayson's Nightwing, Deathstroke, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, The Anti-Monitor...

I'll admit that I'm a sucker for theme covers. Getting a whole month of comics that are all built around a similar aesthetic is always, always fun, and in April, IDW is launching Art Appreciation Month, with covers for all of their titles based on famous works of art. Here at ComicsAlliance, we're pleased to exclusively reveal Cory Smith's cover for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which has taken Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa and dramatically improved it with the addition of ninja weaponry. It's pretty fantastic, but it does raise a pressing and immediate question: How are you going to do an homage to Leonardo da Vinci and not have it feature the ninja turtle who is actually named Leonardo?
