The Fantastic Farel Dalrymple
It’s been a pretty good few years for the Fantastic Four/Future Foundation (no matter what Eddie Campbell says). After being largely neglected by the comics community at large – probably since the Waid/Wieringo era – it seems like the books…

The Onion Reports on Greg Lantern’s Opening Weekend

Auteur Theory
So the DC Comic Solicits were released yesterday to a big underwhelming thud. It’s not that there weren’t any interesting ideas shown; see the wonderful solicit for Wonder Woman. It’s just I’m underwhelmed with a sense of not caring. I…
Simone on Batgirl #1
While I really have no sentimental attachment to Barbara Gordon as Oracle, I've always felt that she was a powerful figure that represented the spirit of Gotham City the best. When faced with the worst that the city had to offer she rose above and became better than ever before.

Hobbystar has really pulled out all the stops to make sure that the customers are getting the most out of the now 4 day convention. Announced earlier today, the guestline up is quite the who's who of the comic world. Check out the list inside.
Happy Star Wars Day! (Art Roundup)
It's May 4th, which means it's Star Wars Day! (As in "May the 4th be with you"? get it, get it?) Here's a pic dump of a whole lot of Star Wars inspired art! Enjoy!
I’ll be a Teenage Satan Worshipper

Things I’ve learned at Fan Expo’s Fan Appreciation Comic Con
I had a pretty eventful time at Hobby Star’s FanApp even if I was hanging out at the ComicBookDaily booth (thanks to everyone who dropped by and said Hello!) and basically just bumming around. I got to talk with Geof…

Suddenly/Meanwhile | We Are What We Pretend To Be
Paul Gravett takes a look at the works of Milo Manara. Really wonderful read, though it is NSFW due to nudity. Manara can’t draw a woman that doesn’t look like she’s not in the midst of an orgasm. He also…
Suddenly/Meanwhile | Steranko’s The Block
I recently came across a wonderful little story done by Jim Steranko for Comixscene #4, published May-June of 1973. ‘The Block’ isn’t the world’s best story, nor is it Steranko’s best work; it’s very heavy handed in delivering it’s message…
