Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
For a long time, many comic book fans were wishing for their favorite comics to appear on the big screen. But being that comics are very episodic in their very nature, television is starting to look like a promising avenue.…
So two Batman topics came up this week that I think might need discussing. To warn you now, the second topic towards the bottom will be filled with spoilers of the latest issue of Batman and Robin. So after the…
My graphic novel of last year was Darwyn Cooke’s adaptation of The Hunter. If you’ve read my column at all in the last year, you know that I love this book a lot. So needless to say, I have been…
Bullying is one of the biggest problems facing kids today. Being a nerdy kid, I got picked on a bit but the one thing that was safe was home. The bullies couldn’t get me there. Now with the advent of…
“Have we done gibbons yet?” Ah Wednesday, the day of new comics. As I’ve previously stated a number of times, Blue Beetle Comics in Barrie is my local shop. I’ve often explained what I like about the store in a…
So it’s official, I have added another full time floppy to my pull list. For those of you who might be new to the column or may have forgotten, I don’t buy a lot of comics in floppy format. Traditionally…
Yesterday I picked up the last of the Burke novel series by Andrew Vachss. I’ve been a big fan of his writing for years, especially the Burke books so it kind of surprises me that this book completely slid under…
While trolling through artist alley at Fan Expo, I came across Big Sexy Comics. Big Sexy Comics is an independent comic company and their head writer and mastermind happens to be a guy named Fred Kennedy. Many of our Toronto…
Batman is one of those comic book characters that every writer and every artist would like a crack at. I have at least two Batman tales logged away in case I ever get the chance at DC. That being said…
*DISCLAIMER: Note that the views and opinions of Brent Chittenden are not necessarily those of Comic Book Daily, it’s editors, writers or other staff “What are you paying for?” That was the question posed to my by Bite Radio’s Jason…
Ah it’s Fan Expo time again. For those of you outside Ontario, Fan Expo is Toronto’s largest convention. I’ve heard reports that overall it’s the 3rd largest con in North America and after seeing the line ups last year, I’d…
Well it’s time for another random group of comic news and commentary, so strap on your helmets, it’s time for a Grab bag edition of Just a Thought! Image United issue 3 is out. Yup, months late and any general…
I am dying to play the new Scott Pilgrim video game. Unfortunately I am an Xbox 360 owner (my tag is BCGrendel316 if you ever want to murder me in Halo) so I’ve got to wait a few weeks until…
I am always one to admit when I’m wrong. And boy did I miss the mark on what would be announced at Comic Con. No Bendis job movement, no real Vertigo crossover announcement, nothing about The Shadow. In fact in…
Sometimes as a critic and reviewer you get caught up in your job. In my column over the past months, I’ve talked about a lot of the bad in comics or stuff I don’t really agree with. I’ve also talked…
Another week and a ton of comic stuff to go over from the last time I did a grab bag column. For those of you who haven’t read one of my grab bags, I basically pick a few things and…
If you are a regular reader to this column, you know that sometimes I yearn for the 80’s. I’m very much a product of my pop culture filled childhood. Case in point, a new Predator movie is on it’s way…
I am not a fan of Wonder Woman. While there has been a few shining lights in her various comic series, the character has never struck a cord with me in printed form (more on that later) but I have…
