You may have seen these already, but damn…they’re really cool, so let’s check them out again! I’m a big fan of Marko Djurdjevic’s art, despite having no idea how to pronounce his name out loud. He’s done some great work for Marvel Comics. His art is incredibly stylized and unique, and visually interesting. Well, turns […]
Look at the cover to your right. Is that not the most beautiful comic cover you’ve ever seen? What tale lies beneath this tentacled monstrosity? Toiling away as a timid and eccentric writer of pulp horror stories, H.P. Lovecraft, is powerless in the world… in love with a girl who doesn’t love him back, mired […]
Have you checked out BlueWater’s Legend of Isis series yet? If not, the perfect opportunity is coming up!

Years ago, after the Knightquest storyline in the Batman comics, Bruce Wayne, healed from his paralysis, returns to Gotham and has to forcible take back the mantle of Batman from his replacement, Jean-Paul Valley (Azrael). Nightwing, comfortable that the Bats is back, tried to go back to the Titans […]
So…Batman’s dead. Kinda. During DC Comics’ recent Final Crisis crossover, Batman breaks his “no guns” rule and shoots Darkseid, using some kind of “god-killing” bullet. (don’t ask me, it doesn’t make much sense) As Darkseid dies, he fires his Omega Sanction beams from his eyes and apparently kills Batman. Well, until two weeks later, when […]
…because The Darkness #75 from Top Cow/Image comics kicked my @$$. This book is the absolute PERFECT comic book. I have less than zero negative things to say about it. What’s that you say? What’s the Darkness? For shame, my friend. For shame. The Darkness tells the tale of Jackie Estacado, mob hitman and all-around […]
I’m not really sure what I think about this. Dean Trippe, the creator of Project Rooftop, and artist Evan Bryce bring us President Awesome, a web comic. This weekly series will faithfully satirize the 44th President of the United States as he preserves, protects, and defends the Constitution of the United States to the best […]
Wil Wheaton was lucky enough to sit in on an advance screening of Zack Snyder’s upcoming film realization of Moore and Gibbons’ Cold War masterpiece, Watchmen. Over on his own blog, Wheaton ends the suspense: It’s the best movie inspired by a graphic novel that I’ve ever seen. It could have gone wrong in a […]
Dig this original piece, Ciphers, featuring The Spirit, Rorschach, and The Question. I always knew Superman was a Christ-figure, but was surprised to learn he’s a Methodist. The world is lousy with Catholic heroes, but where are the Episcopal superheroes? Could be maybe… Batman? You know you’ve been asking, “Who is Daniel?” Levar Burton jumps […]
In 1977, Black Lightning appeared in Black Lightning #1 becoming the first African American character to headline his own book at DC Comics. His stomping grounds were the slums of Metropolis. While Superman fought his battles high in the skies, Black Lightning was beating down the badguys in the streets. High school principal by day, […]
