It’s been over a year since Laura Kinney, the female clone and de facto daughter of Logan, the original Wolverine, took her father’s mantle in the wake of his death to honor his memory. This March, she will be getting an upgrade in the form of a bulletproof costume. The costume was designed by Leonard Kirk, who coincidentally is joining the series with this arc. It is interesting that a character with as effective a healing factor as Wolverine would need a bulletproof suit, but as writer Tom Taylor explains: “A lot of what we’ve been doing in this series comes down to moving Laura…

So for those who aren’t aware, the X-Men have spent the last few years diminishing, to the point where in the comics Terrigen clouds unleashed on Earth were killing off mutants while creating Inhumans. The X-Men and Mutants in general have been experiencing very grim circumstances, facing extinction once again with their prominence in the Marvel universe diminishing.

The first look at Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Ghost Rider (fully transformed) is here! As you can see, the costume looks very much like the one the character of Robbie Reyes uses in the comics. However there is a distinct difference in the skull. In the comics, the Skull is more like a mask with less apparent flames coming out of it. It’s also more shiny and metallic. Here however it appears to be more bone colored, so it seems elements of the other Ghost Riders have made it into Reye’s look. All in all though, by television and general comic…

So in a surprise yet non-shocking reveal this morning,  the character of Hikaru Sulu is confirmed to be openly gay in Star Trek Beyond. This was done in homage to Sulu’s original actor George Takei  who is himself openly gay. Here’s what actor John Cho had to say: “I liked the approach, which was not to make a big thing out it, which is where I hope we are going as a species, to not politicise one’s personal orientations.” It fits the continuity of the character as well. Hikaru Sulu never had a real established female romance. He did have a…
