State of Comics-Midpoint 2026: Marvel Comics: All About Comics Episode 5

As comic readers, sometimes its good to take a step back and look at what we've read and experienced in the world of Comics, and with 2026 already at its halfway point (or thereabouts) I'm joined by fellow Comics Expert Matt to get started with that process. For this edition, we are turning our eyes to the "House of Ideas". We take stock of where Marvel Comics stands today. From standout series and surprise hits to frustrating missteps and controversial decisions, nothing is off the table. Join us as we break down the biggest stories, hottest creators, strongest titles, disappointing launches, and the overall direction of Marvel's publishing line. What's working? What's falling flat? And what has us worried about the future? Whether you're a longtime Wednesday warrior or a lapsed reader wondering if Marvel is worth jumping back into, this episode covers the good, the bad, and the ugly of Marvel Comics in 2026.

All About Comics Episode 4: ART vs. WRITING?! The Ultimate Comic Book Debate!

What REALLY makes a comic book legendary — the jaw-dropping art… or the masterful writing?  In this high-energy episode of "All About Comics", Corban is joined by good friends Josh and Adonnis to dive deep into one of the most heated debates in comic book culture over the past month: Is the art more important than the story — or does the writing make the art actually matter? The trio break down some iconic books, exchange some controversial takes, and bask in the reminiscing of some unforgettable creative runs — including: *Batman: Hush – Stunning artwork clearly elevates the story: is it also the reason this story is considered a classic in the first place? *Stray Dogs – Cute art style meets superbly dark storytelling… which hits harder? *Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – When adorable visuals clash with very disturbing themes, what truly carries the book? *Old Man Logan – Gritty art or brutal narrative — what makes it unforgettable? And there is so much more discussed here in just under an hour! Whether you’re a collector, speculator, indie fan, Marvel diehard, DC loyalist, or just love comic book debates — this one’s for you. Expect hot takes, friendly arguments, deep analysis, and plenty of laughs as three comic book friends go ALL IN on the art vs. writing showdown. Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are you Team Art or Team Writing?
