Captain America: The First Avenger comes to Blu-Ray (and DVD) this Tuesday (Oct 25th). In case you don’t know the story, Steve Rogers is just a regular kid from Brooklyn. He is small (and sickly) and he just wants to…
This past weekend was New York Comic Con. This would be an event I would love to go to someday (San Diego being the other convention I’d love to go to). Since I wasn’t there, and away from my computer…
I had a whole column planned out and then this got pointed out to me and I had to change gears. Mark Hamill’s Joker is no more. Or at least that’s what he says via twitter this morning. It isn’t…
In a recent Jiminy Christmas I had a nice heartfelt memory of store appearances by comic creators, meeting the fans and sharing in the comic spirit. With eager anticipation I went to a store signing recently where two local artists…

The first issue of Shade hit comic book shelves last week, very likely under the radar amid the trove of titles that included Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Men and Green Lantern. The book, penned by James Robinson, features the mysterious mystic known as Shade. The book at least to this point has been confirmed as a 12-issue maxi-series, but has been promised to be home to a fair number of surprises throughout the series, one of which calls this issue home.
On a crisp, autumn night in the city – a forgotten piece of British comics history is waiting patiently for my arrival at London’s kooky Cartoon Museum, and I’m rushing from my day job to make it in time. Doctor…
Last week a picture of Anne Hathaway’s costume was posted on our Facebook page. The question was asked “What do you think?” When I saw the picture, I wasn’t blown away by it (even though Anne Hathaway is beautiful). It…
Another trailer for Tintin was released yesterday. After viewing my skepticism has evaporated: it looks great. We’re introduced to the film’s nemesis and see a ton of great action scenes, comedic episodes and overall wonder.
So I was looking at the latest Previews and saw this picture in the Marvel section: I can understand not wanting to give away too much of a key plot point or whatever but how is any customer supposed to…
Schism is over and the X-Men are left fractured. The only question left is, who stays on Utopia and who moves back to New York to help rebuild the mansion and the school with Wolverine?
Over the weekend I got a chance to check out the Blu Ray Combo Pack of Green Lantern (Extended Cut). The Blu ray is packed with extras and provides good value for money to the comic book fan. I feel…
The National Post has an excerpt from Margaret Atwood’s In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination. It’s a great piece on comic strips, imagination and where that takes us. Perhaps if Atwood had kept up the drawing Seth and…

Recently Scott reviewed Holy Terror. To sum up the review quickly here is the best line from his review “this book is crap: don’t buy it. I want my money back. End review.” Classic stuff. I got thinking more about…
