Frontline Spotlight: Suicide Squad

By: Jess, Fictional Planet

Ah, yes, the Suicide Squad. It should be in your vocab by now. Because, I don't know.. movies and casting announcements and such amongst other things. So, the history of the Suicide Squad seems kinda straightforward, until you realize one thing: It had political tones to it's creation.

With their hit shows Arrow and spin-off The Flash joining it with iZombie following later all on The CW . But The CW can't house everything from Warner Bros.

Rideback Series Review "Going Through The Motions To Find Purpose"

By: Kat "Comic Uno"

I am not a big anime fan, but recently I watch the 12 episode anime Rideback. I wanted to share my thoughts with you. So, here they are.

During the Television Critics Association event on January 11, 2014 a few announcements from The CW were made which some of those were news that eight of their series were renewed for the 2015-2016 season including Arrow (Season 4) and The Flash (Season 2), but that isn’t the only news that would impact The CW ’s shared universe. It was also announced that the superhero Vixen will be joining the boy’s club in an animated series via The CW Seed , the network's online platform for original digital content.

On January 9, 2013 Dark Horse Comics came hout with Star Wars #1 a comic series that took place shortly after Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Flash forward almost 2 years to the day on January 14, 2015 Marvel regained the rights to Star Wars (Thanks to Disney owning both Marvel and Star Wars) and as the Force would have it it is also set right after Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope! Mike Spider-Slayer is a HUGE Star Wars fan and through his original channel and Comic Frontline he reviewed both #1's! So get your Lightsabers and get ready for an epic battle as you can see what he thought of both issues right here as we present in a Galaxy Far Far Away; Star Wars: The Comic Strikes Back!!!!

Frontline Spotlight: Ant-Man

So Ant-Man is kind of a big deal now. I'm not trying to imply he wasn't a big deal before (let's be serious, it seems like everyone had a hard time taking him seriously), but now the little man was thrust into the spotlight. Honestly, I have to admit, I understand why Ant-Man is a big deal. I absolutely understand - he and Wasp are founding members of the Avengers (which will be gracing your screen with Avengers: Age of Ultron - thank you, Ant-Man. Thank you). However, I refuse to believe a character made in the '60s who helped create the Avengers didn't have something stacked against him as to why he wasn't more famous. For a long time, I was a part of the mainstream audience - and for a long time, I had never heard of Ant-Man (even now, I am still wrapping my head around this guy...).

Inhuman Is The New Mutant?

Inhuman Is The New Mutant?

In the 90’s Marvel was facing total bankruptcy and began licensing out their properties for TV and movies. Since then Marvel has reacquired the rights to a lot of their characters but most notably not their big guns, The X-Men, and Spider-Man franchises. This has left huge gaps in Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe plans. While Marvel has made strides with Sony and Spider-Man, the company has been at a standstill with FOX for quite some time leaving the studio to be a bit more creative.
