Last week was a nice quiet week for those of us who needed our geek fix. A couple of good comics, but not much else. This week though…we’re getting it in spades! Friday the 13th and Ghostbusters on Blu-Ray, some excellent big event comics, and even a couple of video games! You know you wait […]
Man, I really can’t wait for DC’s upcoming weekly, Wednesday Comics, an homage to the Sunday strips of what seem to be (sadly) days-gone-by. I’ve never seen such a collection of amazing talent working on non-creator owned work before. Fantastic looking stuff. In addition to the announcement of USA Today serializing the Arcudi/Bermejo Superman strip, […]
The French comic book site Superpouvoir has reported that Spider-Man’s clone, Ben Reilly, is returning later this year! SPIDER-MAN: THE CLONE SAGA #1 (of 6) Written by HOWARD MACKIE & TOM DEFALCO Penciled by TODD NAUCK Cover by PASQUAL FERRY You’ve been asking for it…and now it’s here: THE CLONE SAGA!!!

Shocking absolutely no one, Marvel revealed today to the NY Daily News that Steve Rogers, Captain America, is coming back from the dead. “The original Captain America is finally coming back,” Marvel Comics editor in chief Joe Quesada told the Daily News. “We’ve been patiently planning for this moment for 21/2 years.” Captain America will […]
I’ve been talking about The Strain, the novel from Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, for the past couple of weeks now. Reading it, I totally understand the hype. The book is scary, exciting, and a good mix of both the technical parts of Hogan’s writing, with the touches that make it classic del Toro. If you haven’t […]
This week saw the release of the next two titles in DC’s relaunch of the Batman titles, Red Robin and Batman, with new and exciting creative teams and directions and, most importantly, a new man under the cowl. How did they measure up with last week’s Batman and Robin #1, from Grant Morrison and Frank […]
Newsarama has an 8-page preview of the upcoming new Batman title, Streets of Gotham, easily the one Batman: Reborn title I’m most anticipating? Why? Because it’s written by Paul Dini with art by Dustin Nguyen, probably my favorite Bat-team in at least ten years, if not more! Also featured in Streets of Gotham is a […]
So…FINALLY got my hands on a copy of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin #1. I have no qualms about making my opinions of the team clear. I’m probably the only dude in the world who didn’t think All-Star Superman was that great. I felt that Morrison’s run on Batman was WILDLY uneven, […]
Every Wednesday (or Thursday ) from here until July 15th, the release date of DC Comics’ Blackest Night #1, we here at IoM will be presenting a history of each of the corps involved in the upcoming battle, as well as some background on the major players and the storylines leading up to the big […]
I think we’re the only site online that doesn’t have a review of DC Comics new title, Batman and Robin, yet. We will this week, I promise! Anyway, what we do have, courtesy of DCU’s Source Blog, is a look at some of the storylines to come in later issues. I’m wondering if all of […]
