The Kasper Cole version of Black Panther was and still is perfect for the MCU. Kasper Cole could explore the Black Panther’s legacy beyond Wakanda while still expanding the franchise. A Black Panther: Kasper Cole TV series could still introduce him on Disney+.

Ever since the character's 2018 solo movie, the Black Panther franchise has been one of the most profitable and popular within the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite the tragic passing of lead actor Chadwick Boseman, the series continued with the 2022 sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. There's now an upcoming Black Panther animated series on Disney+ that's set to expand the property's mythos, and the streaming platform might be a good way to introduce another Black Panther.

Kasper Cole was one of the individuals to use the Black Panther name in the comics. Despite this, he had next to nothing to do with T'Challa or the Wakandan culture.

Marvel is finally addressing the forgotten story of Nels van Adder, aka the Proto-Goblin, Marvel's first Goblin before Norman Osborn's Green Goblin. The comic will explore Peter Parker's early days as Spider-Man and delve into the secret history of the Osborn family. Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin #1 is coming from Marvel Comics April 3, 2024.

Marvel is exposing a major hidden secret in Spider-Man lore, as it spills secrets 26 years in the making - secrets surrounding the existence of Marvel's first Goblin, before Norman Osborn's Green Goblin. However, the Proto-Goblin is no new-fangled addition to Spidey's story, but a dangling plot thread Marvel is finally addressing.

If you think you know everything there is to know about Peter and the Osborns, think again!

Coming April 2024, Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin #1 will return to the forgotten story of Nels van Adder - an associate of Norman Osborn...

"...'Prince Keldor' and his two 'He-Man' comrades leap head first in to a new adventure, that includes 'Space He-Man'.

"The scourge of 'Anti-Eternia' is unleashed on the 'Multiverse' bent on destruction. Each version of Eternia has fallen in the wake of devastation.

It was pretty much impossible for me not to pick up this book with a title like that, so well done whoever decided to name the book. Reeled me in straight away. The Masters of the Universe have actually had a pretty decent shelf line for a franchise that grew out of an 1980′s toy line, a toy line I’m pleased to say I was in on from the start. I had quite a few of the figures, which for their day were really good quality, and have fond memories of the cartoon too. The comics, funnily enough, were a part of He-Man and company from the very start, as mini comics were packaged with the figures from the start. ‘Proper’ comics have been published down the years by DC, Marvel and Image, of varying but generally pretty decent quality,...

DC's new Masters of the Universe series sounds like Crisis on Infinite Eternias!

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is one of those properties that has been around for so long that there are multiple takes on it and they're all over the place. Like Batman, Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Ghostbusters, there are incarnations that are badass and incarnations that are wonderfully...not so badass. It used to be that things were roughly linked together with action figure-based comics, an animated series, a continuation of the animated series, and a spinoff animated series. Now we're at the point where the spinoff has been rebooted into a popular Netflix cartoon starring his cousin She-Ra, with another on the way from Kevin Smith.

It makes sense that after all this time, we'd finally get our own He-Man version of Turtles Forever and Into the Spider-Verse.

A partnership between toy manufacturer Mattel and DC Comics, will see the new 8-issue limited miniseries, "He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse", written by Tim Seeley and illustrated by Dan Fraga, Richard Friend, with covers by Inhyuk Lee, available November 20, 2019, in support of the upcoming Columbia Pictures/Mattel Films, rebooted 3D, live-action "Masters of The Universe" feature:

"The scourge of 'Anti-Eternia' is unleashed on the 'Multiverse' bent on destruction. Each version of Eternia has fallen in the wake of devastation. Now it's up to a rag-tag team of surviving 'He-Men' from across the 'Multiverse' to stem the tide, but to do so they'll have to recruit the one man in existence that might help them win: 'Prince Keldor', the man who would be 'Skeletor'..."

Filmation's original "He-Man: Masters Of The Universe" (1983) cartoon series, created to sell Mattel toys, was inspired by author Robert E. Howard's "Conan The Barbarian", airing 130 syndicated episodes,...

The Exhumed Films 24-Hour Horrorthon has taken place for the past five years over Halloween weekend. It’s an entire day of horror movie mayhem, which breaks down to roughly 14 movies and seven blocks of trailers.

If you live in Philly, or really any place other than Los Angeles, you know that 24 hours of horror movies, projected on 16mm or 35mm film, is a rare and beautiful thing. On the morning of the thon fans stocked with provisions (mostly of the cheesy variety), sleeping bags—tents were outlawed a few years back—and dressed in various forms of comfy pant attire and obscure horror t-shirts, line up hours before doors open in hope of getting good seats.

While they are waiting in line, attendees are presented with a program that hints at the movies to be shown; Exhumed never tells what they are showing before the event. The clues, quite frankly,...

People have been trying to get a Neuromancer movie made for years now, but so far no one has actually brought William Gibson's groundbreaking cyberpunk tale to the big screen. Now it looks like we might finally get a Neuromancer movie, courtesy of director Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube). Before Natali got the gig, however, one of the last names we heard attached to the project was director Joseph Kahn (Torque). When Kahn was at the helm back in 2006, he had artist Dan Fraga create some storyboards to illustrate sequences from the potential film. Now Fraga himself has posted the storyboards on his blog, giving us a look at a Neuromancer film that was not to be. Here are a few selections, and you can see the rest of them in the gallery below. Without more details about Kahn's version of the story, it's hard to work out where or...

Source: SupermanHomePage Today Artist Dan Fraga showed us 11 pages pages of his unpublished Superman Comic from 2003 on his via his Blog. Why didn't it make it to print? DC lost many on his original artwork. During 2003, DC hired Dan to do one issue of Superman here is what he thought: " I was ecstatic to say the least. This was my first time working on a DC hero and I wanted to make it extra special. Below are the pencils for the first 11 pages then the layouts for pages 14-22" "I would love to show you the pencils for the rest of the book, though frankly speaking, I'm lucky to have scans of any of the pages. See, DC lost All of my originals. Yes, you read right; not one or a few pages, all of them. This stuff will never see print, unless of course they actually find...

Is a famous actress making a cameo in The Dark Knight Rises? What happened to a lost Superman story from 2003? Did Gary Oldman reveal anything about the end of The Dark Knight Rises?
