X-Meh. Crapocalypse. We’ve heard all the jokes. And honestly, they’re pretty well deserved as X-Men: Apocalypse may have moments of greatness, but it is most definitely not a great movie.

Released in 1980, writer Chris Claremont and artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne’s “The Dark Phoenix Saga” is an epic space-heavy tale with …
With so many new super-hero movies on its way, it can be tough to keep up with all the new Superheroes that are gracing the movie screen – especially if you are not a comic book geek like Kervyn. Between DC’s planned cinematic universe, the Marvel cinematic universe and then the still separate Marvel X-Men universe (and then there is …
