Josh Gad is a well-known American actor and comedian, and his stakes could get higher if, as speculated, he plays the role of The Penguin in The Batman. The movie is not in production yet, and it was only recently confirmed that Matt Reeves will be the director, but the momentum is picking up.

By Dustin Cabeal
Co-Founders Michael Ruiz-Unger & Tucker Tota have put together a comic book contest in the vein of a movie contest. That's the best way to look at this competition because frankly, there's not many, if any, others out there like this. We're a sponsor in that I'll be reviewing the winners of the contest. To be clear, I'm not judging the contest. No, that's an impressive list starting with Jason Aaron and ending with Max Sarin. You can read the full list and get all of the details by visiting GhostCityComics.com and let me tell you, you should do that. If you have an entry then get it ready for submission on the 20th of this month.

Read MoreSuper Heroes and Super Villains Getting In on the Gambling Action
I'm a big fan of comic books and a fan of online gambling, and it comes as no surprise that there are many heroes and villains throughout the comic book industry who gamble. Even superheroes need an outlet from time to time! If you play online progressive games at Vegas Palms, you can even find some hero and villain themed games, such as Thunderstruck II, which features the Norse Gods.

Read MoreBest of 2016: The Entire List
By Dustin Cabeal
In past years we had individual categories with different picks, but this year the list fell to me to complete. I tried something different by spotlighting each pick on the "best and worst of" list and personally I liked it. Sure, some of you on Facebook didn't care for it plugging up your feed, but that's the breaks. The ideal format, of course, is viewing it on the site and not social media. I had planned all along to compile the entire list at the end of it's run, and hopefully, some people appreciated the sheer amount of work that went into our list. Sure, not every entry was in-depth, but when has that ever been the goal of a list? Here it is, though, the list and links to everything that was great in Comics, Manga, Anime and Movies from the year 2016.
Read MoreWorst of 2016: The Entire List
By Dustin Cabeal
Surprisingly the "Worst of 2016" was way more popular than the "Best of 2016" which is too bad since I'd much rather that list get the focus. That said, I have a bunch of unpopular choices on this list, but I'm not going to offer an apology. They earned their way on this list. If you disagree, that's okay. I'm all for that. I'm sure my favorite books ended up on someone's worst of list, and that's they way it goes because comics are subjective like all creative mediums. The point I'm getting at is, don't bother telling me I'm wrong because I'm not here to tell you you're wrong. This is my worst of 2016 list, and while it's not as in-depth as some people would like it, the majority of these have been covered on the site and the podcast before showing up on this list. If you want to leave a comment, go for it, but do it on the original post. We'll see you in the next year and at the end of 2017 with another worst of list.
