10 Comic Book Series That Broke the Superhero Mold: Part I
When you stop and think about it, 2016 really is a year where superheroes, in their movies at least, are fighting amongst themselves. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is already doing the rounds, and Marvel’s latest Captain America movie entitled Civil War is due out in mere days (or weeks, depending on where you live).

Balls To The Wall: Everything We Know About Amanda Waller In 'Suicide Squad'!
Dubbed as 'The Expendables' of comic books, hype is high for Zack Snyder's upcoming Suicide Squad outing. As Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Jai Courtney prepare to contend with Ben Affleck and Jared Leto, will we be cheering for the heroes or the villains? Well, one person we definitely won't be rooing for is Viola Davis's Amanda 'The Wall' Waller. As the woman in charge of Task Force X, a.k.a. the Suicide Squad, Waller has had many a run in with the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime in her 30 years of service. We all know you have to have some pretty big cajones to take on both Joker and Batman at the same time, and it a job we wouldn't wish upon anyone. As the self-proclaimed leader of the Suicide Squad, Waller has lead the current incarnations of the squad since "Legends #1" in 1986. Viola Davis will be the latest to put on a frumpy pantsuit for Dr. Amanda Waller's next big screen outing in this year's Suicide Squad. It is time to bring on the Wall!

Defenders Issue 1-5
With the news that Brian Michael Bendis would be moving from Marvel Comics to DC Comics, I decided I would describe the plot of my favorite series of his. The current run of Defenders will be passed to someone else of course, but Bendis finished at least one volume of the Defenders. This series takes the Netflix superheroes and places them into the street team of "The Defenders." Bendis has had great series, but currently, this has been my favorite series to read. For no spoilers, skip to the last paragraph. It may feel unusual once passed on to another writer, but enough of that and let us get on with issue 1.
