Marvel made comic collecting easy for me. After Secret Invasion, I decided that the Marvel Universe was not a universe I was interested in. I love Spider-Man, but after making a deal with Mephisto and all the yada yada that followed, I just couldn’t get into Brand New Day. I even tried again when they […]
I know it may be a little odd to see a review of a children’s novel here on IoM. Still, when said children’s book involves a character slicing off his own arm with a scythe, people being turned inside out in a ball of “pulverized bone and shredded flesh,” and an-all out battle between good […]
When I was just a wee fanboy, Sunday was comic book day. It wasn’t the day new comics came out. Rather, it was the day I went to the comic shop. My parents were divorced. I lived with Mom, staying with Dad every other weekend. No matter where I was, though, Sunday was comic book […]
So, Tony Daniel’s blog is still down, but through the wonders of the internet, you can still find the goodies he posted about the post-Battle for the cowl Batman and Robin designs. I posted the first here, which gives away the identity of Batman, and you can see Robin after the jump!
So, back in February, I professed my love for Skulduggery Pleasant, the series of novels about the skeleton detective and his teenage sidekick, Valkyrie Cain. I also explained my frustration that the book was due out in April overseas, but wouldn’t see the light of day in the US until August. Well, as it turns […]
Sorry, not going to give it away here. You’re going to have to read after the jump to find out! Tony Daniel (the current writer/artist of Battle for the Cowl) posted on his blog yesterday (the posting was removed later in the day, and now the blog is down entirely) some redesign ideas for the […]
Damn you, DC Comics. Damn you to hell! What has inspired my anger, you may ask? Why is a DC Comics fanboy crying out in hatred towards his beloved DC Comics? Well, because, starting in June, they want to make me broke. DC Comics released their solicitations for June this week, and the new line […]
I was once told that most good stories begin with the phrase “To be honest, I didn’t think things through.” Once properly placed within the narrative there is a good chance that the phrase “and that’s when things went south,” will be the lead up to the climax of the story and reveal where everything […]
Is it just me, or do you have to go to multiple comic shops all across town just to pick up the comics you want? I love my local comic shop, but it seems harder and harder, especially in today’s economy where most comic shops are just trying to order what they think will sell, […]
Do you know what the Battle for the Cowl is missing? More Dustin Nguyen art. I mean, look at the piece to your right. Isn’t it bee-yew-tee-ful? I think so. Anywho, you can find that and tons more awesome art at his official blog, which was recently updated with some freakin’ excellent news! our Heart […]
