Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
DC solicitations for March 2011 went online yesterday and I was shocked, shocked, to see Absolute Promethea Volume 3 solicited. The final Absolute edition of Alan Moore’s epic collects issues #24-32 with the spectacular artwork of J.H. Williams III! ADVANCE…
After doing my usual comic book website reading, I noticed that Doomsday was set to return to the DC Universe, but apparently not running into Superman. While I think a lot of his original impact has been lost, Doomsday happens…
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.…
I am sick today. So in keeping with the season and with me not having to do much work, here is a picture of the Hulk punching Santa. You’re welcome.
As anyone who reads this site can attest I love oversized hardcovers. I want my serving of comic art extra-large if you please. There is a size in the comic industry that companies are using, about 9×16″. DC absolute editions,…
Last week was a little bitter-sweet for me in terms of comics. I arrived to the comic shop to find the last trade of Planetary, waiting for me in my pull box. It was an excellent read but something interesting…
A rose called by any other name wouldn’t be as sweet. Yet that seems to be what Marvel is up to. With Daredevil #512 last week, it will be the final issue (at least for now) to feature the renowned…

Whosoever Holds this Hammer appears every Tuesday exclusively on Comic Book Daily. I was looking through the Previews this week. Normally I try to read it cover to cover, but I generally skim past the Image section. Why does every…
Word on the street is that the DC Archives program is in peril, or at least that’s what the Collected Editions blog is saying and I agree. The brouhaha started last week on Robot 6 when two DC Omnibus collections…
Moebius or Jean Giraud is one of those world famous comic book artists that no one in North America (except, of course, true lovers of the medium). He’s known for his far out sci-fi comic strips from Heavy Metal or…
Comic collecting draws all kinds of different collectors. When I first started collecting, I was very young, and was really only interested in Richie Rich comics. Well, that’s not entirely true. I liked all the Harvey comics. Sad Sack, Hot…
It’s the holiday season again and a lot of you out there have little or big nerds to buy for. It can be daunting, especially if you’re not someone who is into comics. But here I am with not only…

It took me a lot longer to get my hands on one of these than I would have liked, but last Wednesday on a trip to Silver Snail prior to watching the Toronto Raptors DEMOLISH the 76ers, I found one.…
I picked up the Green Lantern Omnibus Volume 1 this weekend at a discount bookstore. I was shocked a just shipped item could be discounted more than 50% its first week but that’s another story. Anyway I checked the printed…
Why are publishers still producing dust jackets? The technology has been around for a good century or so to print whatever you want right on the book cover. In fact the dust jacket was meant as a protection for the…
Earlier this week it was announced that Warner Brothers was proceeding with pre-pre-production on a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer film WITHOUT Joss Whedon. Given my love of the tv series and current comic series, my reaction of “Urgh!” is…
