Comic book characters tend to have a very singular look: they’re all pretty freaking gorgeous. The women tend to have unattainable bodies that are even more anatomically incorrect than that of a Barbie’s, tiny pointy noses, delicate features and giant eyes. And the men are square-jawed and handsome with more impossible muscles that Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime bodybuilding years. In many ways, these books provide an escape for its readers who want to be transported to distant lands and read stories of beautiful people saving the day. To put it simple, they have everything going for them. RELATED: Sinister Six-Pack: The 15 Fittest Supervillains But not all comic book characters have to be pretty. Believe it or not, every once in a while, there’s a character that isn’t so perfect. They’re flawed like the rest of us and some of them grotesquely so. These are the few comic book characters you’re probably less jealous of. Sure, a lot of them have powers, but if they’re not doing so h

DC Comics has released new art teasing the upcoming Batman Lost one-shot, a spin-off of the company’s ongoing Dark Nights: Metal series. Seven other one-shot tie-ins about the murderous corrupted Batmen spawned by the bat-demon Barbatos’ dark ritual have already been announced, but Batman Lost #1 remains one of the more mysterious stories connected to the series. The six new pages of unlettered art only add fuel to the one-shot’s ambiguity. The pages seem to be broken into three distinct narratives. The first narrative reveals what may be the real Bruce Wayne surveying a valley in which two barbaric tribes are doing battle. One side appears to be wearing armor reminiscent of Batman’s, while the other side’s armor looks to be closer to Hawkman’s. Little is known about Batman Lost at this point, but it has been revealed that the issue will focus on Batman trapped in the Dark Multiverse, facing his greatest fears. Considering that, what cou

Among the most intriguing additions to Batman’s inner circle in DC Comics’ Rebirth initiative has been his longtime enemy Basil Karlo, aka Clayface, recruited to the Dark Knight’s new team of Gotham City protectors. However, in January’s Detective Comics Annual #1, writer James Tynion IV and artist Eddy Barrows will take the reformed shapeshifter back to his villainous roots — at least temporarily — as Clayface’s origin story is retold for the current continuity. RELATED: Detective Comics #966 Asks, ‘Who the Hell is Conner Kent?’ According to the DC’s solicitations, Detective Comics Annual #1 will revisit Clayface’s “shocking, heartbreaking origin,” which includes the accident that transformed him from handsome actor to horrifying monster, as well as his first encounter with Batman. Despite becoming a valued member of Batman’s team, recent issues of Detective Comic

Humanity may be a fragile species, but it has the ability to accomplish extraordinary things due in large part to the power found in hope and optimism. Writer Rick Remender and artist Greg Tocchini’s creator-owned sci-fi comic Low demonstrates the exactly this. The series, set thousands of years in the future, sows an era when humanity is literally waiting to die in several high tech cities at the bottom of the ocean because the surface of Earth has become uninhabitable. One family, however, has chosen to find a way to survive by discovering a new home for humanity. RELATED: Remender & Craig Prepare to Drop Student Bodies in Deadly Class This hope has led Caine family matriarch Stel to carry on after the death of her husband and son, reunite with one of her adult daughters who were abducted as children, and travel to the mysterious surface. This journey also allowed her now deceased son Marik to inspire the slaves and gladiators of a pirate city. And in the series most rece

Apparently, King Tut and Bookworm have committed crimes that link back to the villain. Although Robin is skeptical, Dent insists the crime-fighters will receive his full cooperation after everything he’s done to rebuild his tarnished reputation.

Mulder and Scully call on a familiar face for help in the latest look at The X-Files‘ eleventh season. In 2016, a full thirteen years after the hit sci-fi show finished its initial nine season run, X-Files fans got what they’d long waited for with the release of an abbreviated Season 10. With the new episodes’ success, it wasn’t long afterwards that Fox and series Chris Carter confirmed a Season 11 was in the works, and today people can get their first, quick look at the new season. RELATED: X-Files S11 Promises Hunt For William & Skinner’s Backstory (Finally) While plot details are unsurprisingly sparse — it is only a twenty second teaser, after all — there does seem to be some pretty major hints at a return to the show’s cornerstone government conspiracies involving little gray men. We see Agents Scully and Mulder on the hunt for the truth once again, some familiar untrustworthy faces, and a brief glimpse at a

New details of the history of sexual harassment allegations against longtime DC Comics editor Eddie Berganza have come to light, via a thorough BuzzFeed article published Friday afternoon. In the article, multiple former DC Comics employees shared their stories of harassment and assault from Berganza towards them, and confirmed to BuzzFeed that multiple employees had complained about his behavior to DC’s human relations department before he was promoted to Executive Editor in 2010. RELATED: Sexual Harassment Allegations Against DC Editor Eddie Berganza Become Public Former DC Comics editor Liz Gehrlein Marsham (credited during her time at DC as Elisabeth V. Gehrlein), reported in the article that less than three weeks after she started working at DC, Berganza forcibly stuck his tongue in her mouth and attempted to grope her, at a bar near DC’s former New York City offices. Marsham eventually took a non-editorial position in order to avoid working directly with Berganza,

Following a report earlier this week of allegations of sexual misconduct against legendary Marvel Comics writer and editor Stan Lee, another accuser has come forward. The Daily Mail, which on Tuesday reported claims made by “a string” of home care nurses, now adds an allegation by a Chicago masseuse that Lee masturbated in front of her in his hotel room after he groped her and demanded sex during the 2017 Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo. RELATED: Stan Lee Weighs in On Disney/Fox Deal Tom Lallas, an attorney for the 95-year-old Lee, said in a statement that his client “categorically denies” the allegations, and suggested to the newspaper that the claims by the unnamed masseuse are part of “another” shakedown for money. That appears to be a callback to Lallas’ assertion that Lee has been the target of blackmail and extortion. Lee does not, however, deny having contact with the masseuse in Chicago. The Daily Mail contends that the masseu

With The Comedian’s reprieve from his fate, two new possibilities now stand. One, that a divergent, paradoxical reality where Blake survives has now been created by Doctor Manhattan. The other is that Blake, along with the button, at some point will be transported by Manhattan back to his world, at the moment of his disappearance, in order to complete his final and fatal meeting with the sidewalk below his apartment. The latter scenario somewhat controversially leaves the original Watchmen story intact, but still provides no explanation as to how the bloodied button would ultimately end up in the Batcave. The former scenario, at least, would provide some degree of explanation for the button’s two different arrivals in the DCU. A divergent history for The Comedian would give the button shown in Doomsday Clock a convenient history of its own. This would allow the button featured in the Batman/Flash crossover (fittingly titled “The Button”) to independently
