Ife (Originally published on Geeks of Color) Hello guys, Ife here with an article about an Unsung Hero of color, Cisco Ramon aka Vibe . I want to talk about this dude in all of his bad assery. From his origin to his live action adaptation in the CW TV show “The Flash”. Cisco Ramon…

Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ Suicide Squad have released new posters, and they are all sugary sweet. Literally. I think it’s a rather ingenious move to showcase the characters of the film in Lucky Charms-esque marshmallow form.

Everyone’s favorite Chicago paramedics are entertaining us in a new season of Sirens, which means that we’ll all get to see more of Hank.
