With @youngrippa59 making over $1.2 million dollars in less than 2 days on a brand new comic book series, he looks to be on track to beat even Keanu Reeve's BRZRKR in 3 days.

Hasbro's latest attempt to crowdfund another Star Wars collectible has hit the rocks - again. The Reva lightsaber did not even reach 1,500 backers and was nowhere near the required goal of 5,000 backers. But GI Joe's Hiss Tank at a hefty $300 for a toy tank reached its backer goal within 9 hours, and has to now load on more stretch goals in face of the unprecedented demand? Why is there such a difference in fan response to these franchises?

After months of teasing a major character will die in The Amazing Spider-Man comic, that character is revealed to be none other than Ms Marvel Kamala Khan. While Twitter claims racism for the killing off of a minority female character, there may just be a good reason for her demise.

Comics new site CBR.com joins the recent round of C-level executives being fired from the comic industry in the recent months, and management is vowing to focus on positivity for the site. But how positive can they be when they are a pay-to-play site, and publishers are now paying less than ever?

As the covers marking Ms Marvel's demise arrive, it became apparent that there is a lack of art direction happening in the Marvel office. Kamala Khan, a Muslim character whose religion we are constantly reminded of, is depicted in a very recognizable Christian imagery on a cover - as pointed out by her 'fans'.

Hot on the heels of #Comicsbrokeme, Eric July launched the sequel to his $3.7m debut comic book, Isom #2, to a whooping $800k in under 12 hours.

In a new Disney+ documentary, comic creator Stan Lee has voiced "heartbreak" over not copyrighting some of his creations for himself.
