Whosoever Holds This Hammer appears every Tuesday (more or less) exclusively on Comic Book Daily. It will be no surprise to anyone when I say that Wolverine and Spider-Man are among the most popular comic book characters every created. Their…
Every week CBD’s Editor in Chief Pete DeCourcy asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers, we’ll be doing this for 52 weeks. Tip of the hat goes to the gang at Scans_Daily for the inspiration.…
The other day I’m headed home from the day job and I have local classic rock station, Q107 on in my car and they play the new single from Robbie Robertson. I’m a big fan of Robertson’s, both of The…
So, I was puttering around the internets when I came across the following T-shirts and I felt that I had to share them all with you. First up, and rated high on the Meter of Squee!, is: The Planet Lunch…
Characters are people too, essentially. They are characters, obviously, but at their heart what makes a character in any comic special is their humanization by the creators of that particular book. At the same time, if we have invested ourselves…
I wrote a review of Nemesis this week and as usual I like to link up to the publisher’s page, grab their description and see if anything extra is offered. Every time it’s a Marvel book I cringe internally as…
Whosoever Holds This Hammer appears every Tuesday (more or less) exclusively on Comic Book Daily. I did not enjoy Blackest Night. It was slow, repetitive, and about 4 issues too long. I was full of optimism when I cracked the spine…
Last week the shop I frequent was having a sale on Marvel hardcovers. I went through them and found a great copy of a book I hadn’t read in years Daredevil: Born Again. I wasn’t the only one. Ed (one…

With the nominees for the Joe Shuster Awards just released, I thought I’d take a closer look and see how some of them line up with my own personal preference. I was lucky enough to be part of the nomination…
Welcome to another episode of the Couch, hosted by yours truly. It’s the first one in a while, so I apologize to my handful of fans out there in CBD land. To make up for it though, I thought I’d…
