Comic Book Things That Make You Go Hmmm!
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…
Chi’s Sweet Home
Chi’s Sweet Home is an ongoing manga series by Konami Kanata about a kitten named Chi as she discovers the world around her. Chi’s Sweet Home is just plain fun to read because Chi is extremely adorable and acts like…
Retailer Q | #11: Media Smash Follow Through
From a retailer perspective what's the right way for a comic publisher to follow through a media hit and garner new readers? What are they doing wrong? How have you maximized new reader sales based on hit media properties?
How to hide your comic box
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…
Project Ballad
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…
The League of Extraordinary Gentleman Century (Spoilers!)
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…

Rebel Blood #4
Rebel Blood is one of many zombie based books available for the consumption of horror fans, and considering that, we must ask what differentiates them from each other.

Given the arc of Link and Rossmo's story and its ultimate conclusion, it's very clear Rebel Blood in any incarnation is worth every cent of its price tag.
Undervalued Spotlight #126
Starslayer #10, First Comics, November 1983 I’ve been going through a basement full of comics starting my long preparation for a couple of big comic conventions I’m setting up at late in the summer. I was rifling through a box…
Trailer Trash – Mega-City One
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…
The Comedian #1
On the heels of its first two Before Watchmen titles, Minute Men and Silk Spectre, last week DC released the third entry in its set of prequel stories plotted before Alan Moore's infamous Watchmen series. The Comedian follows suit comparably to the previous Before Watchmen books in their portrayal of the principal characters' lives leading into Moore's work, and while each has added considerable layers to pre-existing elements of the plot and the respective character histories, inevitably they suffer from the same affliction inherent to the premise of these tales

I Heart New York
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…

Spider-Men #1
You can say whatever you want about Brian Michael Bendis, some fans love him, some hate him, but he has done a great job as the Ultimate Spider-Man scribe over the past 10 years. He also has been pretty familiar…
