Posted 5/14/13 2:59 pm EST by Brigid Alverson in Archie Comics, Comic Books, Manga
Last month I talked to Tania Del Rio about her manga-style reinvention of the Archie character Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Those comics came out in the mid-2000s, but they have been so popular in Archie's digital service that they have brought them back in a new format—a black-and-white, manga-size digest.
Here's an exclusive look at the cover to volume 3, which is due out in September:

We break it down for you, in MTV Geek's History of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Rage 101: Who's The New Warrior In 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'?
Posted 5/14/13 10:47 am EST by MTV Geek in Comic Books, Marvel
By Matt Wilson
The rumors that former "Angel" co-star J. August Richards would be playing Luke Cage in the new "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." TV series seemed to be confirmed by the teaser trailer ABC and Marvel released over the weekend. In it, a young, black man performs some pretty incredible feats of strength and agility.
But Luke Cage obviously isn't the only black, super-powered hero in the Marvel Universe, and it wasn't long before former UGO editor Chris Radtke sussed out who the character really is. According to the two-second Marvel bumper at the start of the trailer, it's Elvin Daryl Haliday, a.k.a. Rage, best known for his run as a New Warrior in the early 1990s, later as one of the trainers in the "Avengers: The Initiative" series.
So what makes Rage tick? Here are the basics:

By Kendra Beltran
There are people who like superheroes, and then there are people like Laura and Seth. See Seth’s first love after Lauren is Nightwing and for Lauren, she’ll always have more than enough room in her heart for Batgirl. So when the two decided to get married, those fandoms had to come through in every aspect. Even their proposal was super, uh, popping the question while skydiving?

Kleefeld's Fanthropology #9: An Interview America's Greatest Otaku, Pt. 1
Posted 5/13/13 5:08 pm EST by MTV Geek in Comic Books
By Sean Kleefeld
In the summer of 2010, Tokyopop founder Stu Levy took a cast of six American otaku and a film crew in order to explore otaku culture in the continental U.S. and find "America's Greatest Otaku." Otaku is a Japanese word used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime and manga. Historically, it’s had a relatively negative connotation, but somewhat in tandem with the acceptance of “geek culture” here in the United States, being an otaku has become more acceptable. Christopher Wanamaker was the winner named as America’s Greatest Otaku, and is founder and president of the DC Anime Club.
