Negasonic Teenage Warhead – named after a song by 90’s punk rockers Monster Magnet – was created by regular comic book madmen Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly as …
About two weeks ago, I nearly wrote a story about how Ava DuVernay, the award-winning director of Selma, would be directing Marvel’s Black Panther. Nearly. Despite some big publications running with the story as official, the source was regular rumour-mongers MCU Exchange – who actually have nothing to do with Marvel officially despite their name, a fact that these publications …
