Marvel is boldly going to revisit one of the most classic eras in the history of sci-fi history -- in comic book form. The publisher has announced a new limited series set within the timeline of the original "Planet of the Apes" films. Specifically, the series will serve as a prequel to the original 1968 classic starring Charlton Heston. That's right! It's prequel time. So get ready for "Beware the Planet of the Apes."
Marc Guggenheim is set to write the comic, with Álvaro López handling the artwork. The series will include familiar characters, such as Cornelius (played by Roddy McDowall in the films) and his wife Zira (played by Kim Hunter). Perhaps most importantly, the woman who we come to know as Nova (played by Linda Harrison) is also involved. A synopsis for the series reads as follows:

The Guardians of the Galaxy are heading to the big screen one last time for Vol. 3. While it appears that the third instalment will mark the end of this current iteration of the team in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is every possibility that the roster of heroes will evolve and change for a new era. The value of the Guardians, from the perspective of the Marvel brand and within the MCU itself, is just too big to move away from.
The comics have seen a vast range of heroes join the Guardians, many of which have not been featured in the MCU, or have not been affiliated with the team on screen. As Marvel looks to its next eras and continues to map out what might happen with the squad, these characters are fantastic figures to draw inspiration from. Their inclusion into a future team would make narrative sense,...

Kit Harington will play Dane Whitman, Marvel's Black Knight in the Eternals movie. Here's what you need to know about the character.
You Know Nothing…about the Black Knight.
Get it? Because the Black Knight is being played by Kit Harington? You know, the dude that played Jon Snow on Game of Thrones? So like, “you know nothing…” Ah, forget it.
Ahem.
So it seems that the Black Knight is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in The Eternals. This is a bit surprising considering that the classic Marvel Comics Black Knight really has very little to do with the world of the Eternals. But, Dane Whitman, the Avenger known as the Black Knight, is a great character with a rich and surprising history that stretches back to the early days of Marvel. Now, there is some history with the Eternals which we will get to in a bit,...

Kit Harington’s Marvel Cinematic Universe role is out: The “Game of Thrones” star will play Dane Whitman, better known as the Black Knight, in “The Eternals.”
The news was announced Saturday at Disney’s biennial D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
Created in 1966 by writer-editor Roy Thomas, and artists John Verpoorten and George Tuska, the Black Knight is one of Marvel’s more obscure characters and rather unique among his superheroic peers.

Whitman really is the Black Knight, or rather a descendant of the original Black Knight from Arthurian legend. He inherited the Black Knight mantle from his uncle, who was a supervillain and a member of the Masters of Evil. Whitman’s Black Knight joined the Masters of Evil to try to take them down from within, a move that eventually endeared him to the Avengers,...

Last Friday, my pal Larry Hama invited me to a “friends and family” screening of the first two episodes of Marvel’s The Defenders. I mean the new series debuting on Netflix today, not the classic television show, The Defenders, the source of many many jokes made during the screening.
Also in attendance: Tony Isabella, Michael Gaydos and his adorable son, Arvell Jones, and the families of Archie Goodwin and George Tuska. Plus a bunch of current Marvel folks who had probably already seen the whole series, but who were gracious hosts.
Before the screening began, I was feeling pretty warm and fuzzy about seeing so many of my old friends and meeting people whose work I admired. Hence, I was psyched to enjoy two hours in a comfy chair in a screening room.
Mostly, I had a great time. I have a huge crush on Charlie Cox, the beautiful man who plays Matt Murdock.

We're taking Marvel's Luke Cage one episode at a time, pointing out the Marvel comics references as we go. First up: Moment Of Truth...
Luke Cage is back! In his own show! And so are our Marvel-Netflix episode notes where we’ll do a bit of commentary and reference-spotting for each episode of the series. Feel free to read along as you watch too, but please don’t spoil future episodes for anyone in the comments!
This first episode spends a lot of time placing Luke in Harlem, allowing us to get a feel for the man and his friends and enemies. You may know Luke Cage from his appearance in the previous Netflix series, Jessica Jones, but if you don’t then rest assured you get all you need to know in this episode: he’s a good guy with bulletproof skin.

“Ups ain’t the only brown that delivers.”
Actor Mike Colter’s guarded, injured, and ultimately good-hearted turn as Luke Cage was one of the few pleasures the first season of Jessica Jones had to offer. On his own and grounded in a much more immediate and organic sense of place and moment, he doesn’t disappoint. Luke Cage, adapted from the comics created by Archie Goodwin, George Tuska, and John Romita, Sr., is an atmospheric pleasure miles away from the one-note sarcasm of Jessica Jones or the relentless action figure workouts of Marvel’s blockbusters. The thoughtfulness and restraint with which the show approaches the struggle over Harlem’s identity, as embodied by the black men and women living, working, and dying on its streets, is refreshing.
Luke Cage sketches the historic neighborhood as a black community deeply divided along lines of culture, class, and generation. Money is either...

Krysten Ritter may have been the prime focus of Netflix’s rather excellent Jessica Jones last year – and rightfully so – but spread across a handful of episodes was the debut of Mike Colter as Luke Cage, Marvel’s hulking Hero for Hire.
A stoic screen presence that brought Archie Goodwin, John Romita, Sr. and George Tuska’s creation to life in remarkable fashion, Colter’s less-is-more performance won over fans from the off; in fact, such was the glowing reception to Luke Cage that Marvel even bumped Iron Fist into 2017 so that the Mike Colter-fronted spinoff could take precedence, building on the momentum of that aforementioned debut.
That’s quite the vote of confidence, and sure enough, Luke Cage showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker told Complex that, “Marvel went from, ‘We’re gonna take our time’ to ‘Let’s flip it and do Luke Cage first.’ ‘We’ve got this...

Set your nostalgia rays to the '80s. Some toy lines actually ended up as even better comic book series.
Comic book icons and heroes have been appearing on toy shelves since the days of Captain Action and Mego. But sometimes, toys that win the hearts and minds of kids of all ages are given their own comics, allowing toy fans to see their favorite bits of plastic in action by some of the best writers and artists in comics.
Many toys have graced the pages of comics over the years, including memorable curiosities like Sectaurs, Madballs, Visionaries, Go-Bots, and so many more, but there have been a few properties that have transcended their humble plastic roots to become the stuff of comic book legend.
Here are but a sampling:
