Spider-Man is easily one of the most prominent characters in Marvel and comics history. Period. He’s been a staple in the comics world since 1962 when he first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15.

I have a confession to make to all the MGS die-hards out there – up till now I’ve never played a single title in the entire history of the franchise. I’m a neophyte to the weird world of Big Boss, bipedal nuke carrying mechas, terror and counter-terror plots, and abounding corniness and pretension stemming from the…

Cartoons–a happy loopy word that instantly brings to mind Saturday mornings and space pajamas and brightly-colored cereal and sitting in front of the TV for hours. Kids love cartoons. Adults love cartoons. Cartoons (like balloon animals and toy rockets,) are one of the blissful pastimes that you can never outgrow. Nowadays, there are plenty of…
