Judge (Joseph) Dredd’s strip in the British comic 2000AD is the publication’s longest running, first seen in the second issue in 1977. The premise: in a dark and dangerous future where uniformed Judges combine the powers of police, judge, jury…
No column this week folks. I am enjoying a little vacation. Until I return please amuse yourselves with this picture of Superman punching Santa-Batman in the face.
A couple of weeks ago, the 10th and final season of Smallville came out on Blu-Ray and DVD. At that time I wrote about its release. I’ve spent every available minute watching Smallville since then. Season 10 is by far…
One of the reasons I started doing these weekly walkabouts is to finally make myself sit down and read all these great looking comics I’ve stumbled across online. This week I finally tackled Jackie Rose, a great adventure story…

There’s a half-dozen strips on the newspaper comic page that could be given mercy killings to make way for a strip like Snowflakes. Set somewhere in the snowy heights of the Andes, Snowflakes follows the lives of a group of…
All of us have done something we’ve regretted. A bad hair cut right before school photos. Owning an album by C&C Music Factory. Proclaiming New Coke better than old Coke. Me? I own the entire Deathmate mini series from Valiant…
Dark Horse did an about-face this week over its day and date digital pricing. Last week they announced day and date digital books would be $1 less than print, but after a furor on the CBIA retailer forums they changed…
Doctor Who began in 1963 and dazzled a UK TV audience immediately. Seven actors played the Doctor on TV before the show was sadly dropped in 1989 after a very strong but, waning first run. Following a (publicly demanded) TV…
