More Than Tracing
I assume that most comic book fans have seen the Kevin Smith movie Chasing Amy. Basically it’s about Ben Affleck chasing after a girl. What makes it relevant to comic book fans is Ben Affleck’s character is a comic book…
52Q | #54: Christmas Wishes
Back by popular demand, Comic Book Daily asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers. Tip of the hat goes to Scott VanderPloeg for this week’s question.
What comic or comic related book would you like to see under the Christmas tree? Something outside your normal purchasing habits (interest, character, price) so you're not buying it for yourself but a great gift to receive.
Free Ultimates Digital
Marvel released a FAQ for retailers, which is far more telling: let me see if I can sum this up. For the same cover price Marvel will be selling a print comic and a digital comic. The retailer will receive their usual discount on the print comic and will receive $0.50 credit for every digital copy redeemed. Marvel is basically saying that not only does the digital copy hold no value, they're paying to get it out there.
Sorting of Sorts
If you regularly read my column, or my comments on other columns on the site, you’ll know that I’ve been working at reading and cataloguing my entire comic book collection. When I started, I thought I would read through my…

A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last seven days.
The Crow
I’ve been on a bit of a nostalgia kick recently as last week’s “it came from the long box” column is a sure sign of. Being a bit of a dreary day, I decided to take a look at the…
Collected New 52
First off every title is getting a collection of at least six issues, so DC clearly has no plans to cancel any of their New 52 titles within the first six months. Since they required books to be done well in advance I'd hazard a guess they already have at least six issues ready to go.
Comic Culture Nov 9th
This week’s show has hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija talking about DC’s new found dominance in the comic book world, Barnes and Noble’s exclusive Nook/Marvel graphic novel deal, the new Bladerunner film and a whole bunch more neat stuff.…

Dust Jacket Incentive
This just struck me as odd. IDW is releasing Rocketeer Adventures Volume 1 hardcover on December 7th, and the direct market version will ship with a dust jacket. Here’s the relevant quote: [quote]All direct market copies of this book will…
Marvel Vs DC?
Part of me thought initially that DC’s recent reboot was first born, in preparation for a crossover with Marvel… crazy right? Marvellous, Marvel’s, magnificent men and women finding themselves in a ‘stand-off’ with dirty DC’s, dangerous, dudes and dames. …
Uncanny X-Men #1
Last week saw the debut of the other crown jewel of the Regenesis saga hit store shelves in the first issue of Uncanny X-Men's second volume. Coming out of Schism, the X-Men are left divided into two factions split along ideological lines. Perhaps at their most precarious, split between Utopia and Westchester, Uncanny X-Men follows Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto, Storm, Hope, Namor and others as mutantkind enters a time of great uncertainty.
DC Dominates October Sales

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Happy Guy Fawkes Day! What is it? Well it is the day to commemorate the Gunpowder Plot that happened in 1605. On that day Guy Fawkes and a group of other conspirators tried to assassinate the King of England. What does…
Undervalued Spotlight #101
Detective Comics #395, DC Comics, January 1970 I meant to post this book right after Undervalued Spotlight #98. The two books go hand in hand as far as I’m concerned since both represent major steps in the development of superhero…

Which Weapon Would I Choose
This Halloween I went to a party dressed as Captain America. I bought the movie style shield for my costume. I also bought an army helmet and painted it blue with a big “A” on it. While I was at…
It Came From The Long Box Part 1
I’m moving soon. It sort of sucks. Not that I’m moving for any bad reasons really. I’m moving in with my girlfriend (who is incredibly pro-comic book) and I’m lucky in the respect that due to my living situation I…
