We've had a number of awesome Red Rangers in the Power Rangers franchise over the years, and it's hard to limit my top pick to just one. That said, I think it's Amelia from Cosmic Fury these days, closely followed by Andros, because he's just too freaking cool. What are your favorite Red Rangers and why? Here's my top 10 list in case you're curious.

Another WWE Raw is in the books, and you can certainly tell Wrestlepalooza is right around the corner! Some of my fave moments of the night were actually built around Saturday's event in some form or fashion, with the highlights being the Punk and AJ vs Becky and Seth segment and everything that Bayley and Kairi Sane are doing at the moment. I'm curious to see where LA Knight vs Jey Uso goes next, and I'm hyped to see Dominik have to face Rusev. Perhaps we'll get Penta competing for some Title gold soon, as that's something I've been missing personally, but let me know what you thought of Raw and what you want to see next week!

I loathed Tony Stark after Civil War, so RDJ really rehabilitated the character for me. The top character for me though is Scarlet Witch. She was fine in the comics, but Elizabeth Olsen's version from the MCU is the version that I love. She's just fantastic.

Feel like this Direct was made for me haha, as both Yoshi and the Mysterious Book and Mario Tennis Fever are must buys for me

I need to meet Big the Cat's younger nephew Small the Cat, right??? C'mon that's gold

Agreen 100%

@Amanda Kay Oaks I hear you on the physical space part! There's a part of me that really hopes we get a Disney Lorcana and Star Wars Unlimited app version down the line, because i would likely switch over to purely digital for at least one of them. I play most of Magic now through Arena, and have been wanting to maybe try the Pokemon mobile game as well.

My favorite is easy, as it is unquestionably Cyclops and Emma Frost. They are my favorite X-Couple by a mile (and yes, that does include Rogue and Gambit, though I do also love them.). As for most important though, I probably judge every Marvel couple by Mary Jane and Peter Parker, one of my fave couples in comics. That's partly why the newer eras of Spider-Man don't really click for me, especially with all the editorial mess around them. As Ultimate Spider-Man has shown, when they are clicking, do does Spider-Man as a series.

@Shawn Lealos yeah, that's my main issue. Dick Grayson is purely Nightwing for me, so I don't even classify him as a Robin even though he was the original.

While I wouldn't have called myself an avid TCG player 10 years ago, I have found myself loving a host of them over the past few years. At the moment, the ones that continue to take all my attention are Star Wars Unlimited, Disney Lorcana, UniVersus (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Street Fighter), and Magic: The Gathering, on top of new games like CookieRun Braverse. Which TCGs are your favorites and which ones are you wishing you had more time for? Let me know!

Just checking in to post my favorite Spider-Man costume of all time...I know i know, but it still rules!

So many great options to choose from! I appreciate Steph's time as Robin but I actually loved her more during her stint as Batgirl. Also dig Duke, but again kind of like him more as The Signal. My favorite Robin is by far Damian. I didn't like him when he was first introduced, but over time he's become my favorite. It doesn't even matter who he's paired up with, as the dynamic just becomes a different kind of entertaining. Whether he's alongside Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Wonder Woman, or the Titans, he's comedy and snark gold, and over time, he's also become more and more capable so he can actually back up the attitude with his skillset.

Oh hell yeah, that would rule. I'm jumping back in with season 4, so if you ever want to play hit me up!

Same!!! Green Lantern is one of the most underappreciated (and inherently creative) spaces in the DC Universe, so I'm excited to see it get its due. A streamlined origin of the Lanterns, but a complicated group of Guardians. The Guardians are always more interesting when they are conflicted as a group and depicted more as a body of government rather than a hive mind, so I hope to see that here. A true detective story with a science fiction twist. I love the stories where Lanterns partner up and investigate a case, only for it to blow up into something seriously weird and cosmic in the end. It's part of the fun. Newer elements of the mythology woven into the origin. While it's understandable we'll get elements of Rebirth and Blackest Night, I also hope to see elements of Jeremy Adams' run as well as John Stewart's newer run also in the mix. John's family, especially his mom and younger sister, are vital parts of his character now, and are critical to getting a more well-rounded view of who he is as a person without the ring. Same for Hal, but in his case, it's about how he is fearless in the face of cosmic beings and near-annihilation, but sometimes incredibly fearful of being vulnerable on a truly human level. I need some of the new Lanterns, including the walking volcano Volk, as well as the newest Corp at least alluded to as part of the mythos in the Gray Lanterns (Sorrow). I hope we at least establish that early so we can come back to it later.

@Shawn Lealos yessss Symbiote Jeff! Jeff is the best It's part of what I love about the game. Yes you can go straight competitive, but it's also full of absurdly goofy stuff that I love.

@Nicole Drum New 52 really could get its own thread hahaha Also, Bat/Cat for life!!!!

@Shawn Lealos 100% agree. I've got issues with the New 52 as well, and certainly not everything stuck, but I also like a bevy of those changes and character redesigns too.

While there are a few DC storylines that I feel get more hate than they deserve, it feels like one particular story is in fans' crosshairs, and that's Flashpoint. I greatly enjoyed the world Flashpoint created, and not only was it meaningful for Flash, but we also got several really intriguing concepts and characters from the event by the end of it. I think that's actually part of why it's become more and more disliked over time, as people have tired of how Flashpoint and its world have been utilized both in later comics stories and in other media. We've seen elements of Flashpoint featured in Television, animation, and on the big screen, as well as in a myriad of ways in the comics, and it's been a sort of mixed response to those interpretations. If we separate the original story from those though, I feel like it wouldn't get nearly the hate that I see popping up online, but that's just me. Let me know what you think!

WOW, well what a night! While we figured AJ Lee might be returning, actually seeing her show up in the ring was still unreal. Check out my 3 MVPs of WWE SmackDown right here, and let me know if you agree! https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/wwe-3-mvps-from-tonights-smackdown-sept-5-2025/

What's up wrestling fans! Tonight's new episode of WWE SmackDown doesn't have much previewed for it ahead of time, but the one thing we do know is that it will be the final appearance of John Cena on the blue brand before his retirement tour comes to a close. With only a few more dates left, it's going to be interesting to see what matches Cena and WWE find a way to fit in before the farewell tour ends, and with Sami Zayn showing up tonight with his new Title, that's likely going to mean some sort of match between them. Plus, there's the whole Brock Lesnar of it all, and he very well might show up tonight too. Throw in (hopefully) another AJ Lee teaser and it should be quite the entertaining episode, and I'll be posting reactions and notes all throughout tonight's episode right here, so let me know what you think!

While I took a Marvel Rivals break due to the new kiddo, I'm gearing up to jump back in with season 4, and I'm curious as to what other Rivals players are feeling about the new season and the changes coming to the game. Angela being a Vanguard is huge, as I'm mainly a Vanguard and Strategist player, though I am curious to see if Daredevil is yet another Duelist or if he's a strategist. Also love how Invisible Woman's Ultimate is getting a buff while Luna Snow's Ultimate gets a nerf. The same goes for Captain America and Black Panther getting nerfs, while Squirrel Girl's range also gets tweaked a bit. What do you hope to see more of in season 4 and what do you think needs fixing the most? Let me know!

I tend to not like endings that leave a ton up to interpretation, so while I'm fine with Angel's ending now, I still don't love it. I could say the same for The Sopranos, and I know I'm an outlier on that one, but I would rather get something definitive to end a series on rather than me having to fill in the blanks.

Happy new comic book day! Lots of big releases this week, including the next era of Batman, the launch of Spider-Man '94, new chapters in DC's Absolute line, new launches from Image Comics, and more. I adored Batman #1, and the Absolute books and the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series have been hitting for me as well, but let us know what you're reading and picking up this week! This Week's Big Releases Batman #1 Absolute Superman #11 Absolute Green Lantern #6 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 The Amazing Spider-Man #11 Adventures of Superman: The Book of El #1 Spider-Man '94 #1 Everything Dead & Dying #1 Captain Planet and the Planeteers #4 Closer #1 Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming #1

To be clear, Bendis is one of my all-time favorite writers, which is why I felt his run at DC could have been so much better. I was fine with his Legion run, but I'm also not the biggest Legion fan, so I'm not coming at it with a lot of experience. Frankly I always thought he would have delivered an amazing Justice League Dark run if given the chance. His penchant for humor even in the darkest of circumstances, would have fit that series so well.

Marvel Rivals is kind of that for me, though WWE SuperCard, Magic The Gathering Arena, or Root are also go-tos for me in that regard. I dabbled with Destiny right at the beginning (we're talking beta) but kind of fell off and then never went back.
