This Summer's Comic Book Countdown

5. Spider-Gwen (Marvel - Comic Book Series)
In Earth-65 of the Marvel Universe, beloved Gwen Stacy is bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker. Bringing to life the head cannon of so many readers, Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez create the compelling story behind Spider-Gwen.

4. Secret Wars (Marvel - Comic Book Series)
Similar to DC's "Convergence" (see below), Marvel introduces a multiverse of fragmented realities from the past coming together in one epic universe. Older characters from "Old Man Logan" and "Marvel Zombies" will be re-introduced in this awesome blast from the past series.

3. Saga (Image Comics - Comic Book Series)
A monthly comic book written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Fiona Staples introduces a unique take on the space-fantasy genre. Heavily influenced by Star Wars, the main characters - husband and wife, Alana and Marko - are fleeing from galactic authorities while in search for their daughter Hazel. This series is both dramatic and hilarious as the duo races through space together.

2. Convergence (DC comics - Comic Book Mini Series)
A mini-series that brought back classic Pre-New-52 story lines for DC comics. The story focuses around Brainiac collecting cities and populations from a multitude of timelines that have ended. He opens them up in an isolated time and space to see what happens.

1. Death of the Family (DC comics - Graphic Novel)
A Batman story-line featuring the Joker meticulously going through every member of the Bat-Family with the intentions of murdering them all. After learning the true identity of Batman, the Joker uses this information to get to every person Batman has ever cared about. Scott Snyder's story line along with Greg Capullo's artwork revitalize the horror and the depth of the relationship between Batman and his arch-nemesis.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
