Comic book reviews are one of the often-discussed topics here at Comic Book Daily. Or more specifically, should we be reviewing the good stuff we like (to promote it) or the stuff we didn’t like (to warn customers). Should we…

Hey Kids! BUY these bleeping toys!

A few months back I wrote about the new action figures coming out to support the Iron Man 3 and Wolverine movies. These figures were absolute garbage. Low quality paint jobs, and minimal articulation were the main reasons I wanted you to avoid buying this junk. But today I want to talk about some figures you need to buy.

This time around I'm nominating The Shadow by Denny O'Neil and Michael Kaluta, or more accurately issues 1-4 and 6 done by that creative team. The title that made Kaluta known to fans, The Shadow didn't last long but it burns brightly in the memory of many a comic fan.

Indie Comics: scurrying among the giants

Andrew Ardizzi
October 1, 2013

Something interesting (dare I say weird) happened this past weekend. Given that I don't have nearly as much time to stop by my LCS every week to pick up with my weekly stash of the latest comics, it had been some time since I had been able to stop by the store. In fact, the last time I believe I was able to pick up anything was the week Johns' final issue on Green Lantern was released. So it had been awhile.

Campaign of the Week: ‘In the Dark:’ A Horror Anthology

Andrew Ardizzi
September 30, 2013

If you love horror comics, or even supernatural stories, this is a perfect comic for you as you'll get huge 250 page book filled from cover to cover with quality work from the writers and artists who offered their time to work on the project without any compensation up front. These ladies and gentlemen love their craft and love writing and drawing within the horror genre, and if you're a fan of their work or the genre itself you should support this project. The $50 perk is a great reward on its own, but if you're outside the U.S. and are squeamish about the extra shipping cost, getting the $10 digital PDF version is a great option

The other night a friend and I got into a discussion after leaving our favourite comic book shop. It all started with him saying "If I had a million dollars, I'd open a comic book shop." (If you want to play along, sing it to the tune of "If I Had $1,000,000" by Barenaked Ladies).

Readers and collectors just have to refuse to spend hard-earned money on some of the junk that's thrown our way whether it's in the primary or the secondary market. As a reader-collector, I'm very discriminating in what I buy and collect because at $4 a pop - more for some books - reading comics is becoming a very expensive hobby; even more so for the serious collector seeking to purchase the classics. If we don't fall for the junk we can help keep some of the nonsense out of the market and ensure we get the most for our money
