Sean Patrick Fannon’s 2008 was not his best year. The Shaintar author described the year as “significantly difficult” in a blog from last October. He went on to paint a very dismal picture of 2008: “The love of my life shattered my heart;” “A family member has, in the course of destroying his own life, […]
I think 2008 was the definitive year that independent comics, for me, surpassed mainstream comics in both art and story quality, as well as in my purchases. Don’t get me wrong, I still collect some mainstream titles, but most are published by DC – the Bat books (which I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon) […]
I enjoy DC’s Justice Society of America, but was actually looking forward to dropping the title at the end of Geoff Johns’ run. I don’t really follow Fables, so, although I know Bill Willingham and Matt Sturges (the upcoming writing team) are highly regarded, I’m not too familiar with their work. Then damn @$$ DC […]
Jeff Smith, creator of Bone, announced today that RASL #4 comes out April 22nd at your FLCS. Jeff Smith…man, what do I say about the guy? He never ceases to amaze he, but he’s as frustrating as he is awesome. See, RASL, for those not in the know, is about an art thief who’s figured […]
So…I know I’m a week late in my review/summary of Battle for the Cowl #2. I’ll hopefully have it up for everyone interested this Thursday! In the meantime, Ign had the cover premiere for Grant Morrison/Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin #2, which you can see at right also. In its black-and-white state, I absolutely love […]
You know, looking at some of the preview art from Red Robin #2, I’m beginning to wonder if Red Robin is, in fact, Tim Drake. See, Tim Drake is supposed to be, what? Fifteen? Seventeen? The character of Red Robin appears to be much older than that. Of course, that could just be the art, […]
As anyone who’s been reading the site knows, we’re huge fans of Zenescope Entertainment and their Wonderland Trilogy. Check our interviews out here and here. Well, it looks like those fine folks at Fangoria are too, because they premiered the cover for Escape To Wonderland, which you can see after the jump, as well as […]
Woopty-doo, the Flash is back! And this time? He’s a dick. The Silver-Age Flash, Barry Allen, died spectacularly way back in 1986 within the pages of Crisis on the Infinite Earths. For the longest time, this death seemed to be the one death beyond Bucky’s that was actually permanent in comics. Well Bucky’s back over […]
Sometimes, I just see a piece of art that I show my wife and she looks at me with that astonished, “why the hell would I care?” look. That’s why I love this blog – because you guys care about the same crap I do! Hopefully. Look at this monstrosity of beauty: Sean Cheeks is […]
When I picked up the much anticipated return of long-time deceased speedster Barry Allen in Flash Rebirth #1, I winced at the $3.99 cover price. It’s a hefty book, though. Thinking I was at least going to get my money’s worth, I picked it up. From cover to cover, there are 40 pages within the […]
