September 22, 2025September 22, 2025 Kelly Martinez

Marvel Zombies gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “no guts, no glory.” The upcoming miniseries, which is a continuation of the What If… ? Season 1 episode What If… Zombies?!, is Marvel Studios Animation’s first foray into TV-MA territory. At just four bloody episodes long, it’s easily the studio’s most gruesome show to date.

‘Eyes of Wakanda’ Quietly Proves Killmonger Wasn’t Wrong

August 6, 2025August 6, 2025 Ainsley 'LadyL' Landry

When Eyes of Wakanda premiered, I expected a bit of backstory, some cool animation, and maybe a nod or two to the Dora Milaje. What I didn’t expect was a four-part meditation on how Wakanda’s deepest strength, its secrecy, might also be its biggest flaw.

Throughout history, portions of Black history have been erased. We’re seeing that today with censorship in schools, the banning of books, a general trend toward erasure of American slavery’s historical legacy (e.g, Florida’s “Stop Woke Act”). Marvel’s new animated series Eyes of Wakanda refuses to shy away from these truths.
