Well, another San Diego Comic Con is in the books and I thought I'd mention some of the news that I got excited about.
So the big announcement came down the pipe last week that Marvel is going to relaunch, not reboot all of their comic books starting this fall (gee… where have we heard that one before). Essentially every title is going to…
To celebrate Canada Day this year, Captain Canuck’s creator Richard Comely toured Southern Ontario visiting Big B Comics three locations. On July 7th, Big B Comics Barrie was the final stop on the Captain Canuck tour. Richard Comely was on…
I was chatting with a client at work the other day, and the conversation turned to video games and comic books (as it tends to do when I talk to people). And, the gentleman I was talking to pointed out…
I met Diana Nock at TCAF. Sadly, it was late on the second day and I was pretty much spent out. But she offered to take my last cash for a copy of her first collection of The Intrpeid GirlBot and I’m…
Diamond released their sales numbers last week of the top-selling comics and related merchandise. ICv2 took that data and added real volume numbers, as they do every month; I don’t know why Diamond can’t just do this but they don’t.…
Everyone who’s ever had a love affair with comics has probably rolled their sleeves up and tried to draw their own at some point. Good, bad or indifferent, we’ve all folded a scruffy piece of paper into a book-shaped rectangle…
Since the announcement of Disney acquiring Marvel was made, I have been wondering when we would see some comic book action at the Disney Theme Parks. This isn’t as much of a slam dunk as some might think: Universal currently…
The trade paperback for Battle Scars was recently released. This is the 6 issue series about Marcus Johnson. Who could be the most important man in the Marvel Universe. Just be warned. There are spoilers ahead. Battle Scars is written…
My family moved in April from a large house to a more modest dwelling. At the old place I had a home office and a good sized library; now I had one room to make it all work. This post…
What do we think so far? I’ve enjoyed trying to pick holes in the continuity and I’ve also taken some pleasure in the head-aches that must have been inflicted upon the likes of DiDio and Lee, not to mention Cooke,…
Hello all, I am on vacation this week. Until next time please enjoy this picture of Tony Stark and Nick Fury on the beach (from the Marvel Swimsuit special).
There are a lot of things that happen in comic books that we accepts as fact. Many of these events have happened generations ago. It’s hard to fathom it sometimes, but yes it’s true, many things happened in comics when…
A while ago I decided that I was sick of the old, white, cheap cardboard look of my comic box. Once I got around to jazzing it up a bit, I thought I would write an article on “How to hide your…
I’m not sure Project is the right term for this comic. I think Enterprise Ballad might be more fitting because this seems like something big. Really big. So big that in everything so far presented I can’t even begin to…
There are two things you have to know before delving into the rest of the article. The first is that I am not the world’s biggest Alan Moore fan. While I love many of his comics, his attack on current…
As regular readers know I’m a big fan of convention sketches. I try to pick up a few every convention I attend; check out my Comic Art website for a gallery. The tried and true method of attaining conventions is…
It’s 1995, I’m 13 years old and Sly Stallone is playing Judge Dredd at the movies. At the time, I’m sure this type of casting was fine in a cheese-on-toast comic book flick such as this, but looking back and…
New York is a great city. I know that isn’t exactly groundbreaking news, but every introductory sentence I write can’t be a winner. On a recent trip to New York I noticed how seeing the city in person gives you…
G.I. Joe Renegades Season 1 Volume 1 is now on DVD. Renegades is the latest animated series for the G.I. Joe franchise. The idea for Renegades is different from other G.I. Joe animated series. In this incarnation G.I. Joe doesn’t…
