Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
DC announced on the weekend that a major male character, previously heterosexual, will be reintroduced to the new DC 52 as gay. And they are about to reintroduce a previously existing DC character who was previously straight and now will…
The first comic I ever bought was Batman Vs Judge Dredd from 2000AD in about 1994. I honestly wish I still had it, the art was beautiful and the story was cool enough to claim me as a comics guy…
With the next big event in the UK scene fast approaching, I thought it best to open the box on the ‘Kapow!’ ComicCon and break it into little nuggets of joy for all to nibble as they see fit. I…
Welcome to Retailer Q, spinning 52Q’s format at top Canadian comic retailers. Comic Book Daily asks the question and our retail friends give their perspective.
DC's New 52 is six months old, titles have been cancelled and new titles announced; all in all a resounding success. As retailers are you seeing sales of DC's titles sinking back to pre-relaunch numbers? Are you selling more DC titles than you were before the relaunch? How does DC's future look from this point on?
It’s easy to compile a list of things we love about comics, it’s easy because we love them. There’s an undefined, miscellaneous feeling involved in reading comics… an x-factor. It feels cool somehow, as if there’s an unexplainable ‘comics-force’ available to tap…
Marvel may be getting the majority of Hollywood kudos in terms of wide theatrical release blockbusters, but DC and Warner Brothers are miles ahead in terms of straight to DVD movies and animated series. Recently there has been a new…
Take a look at the comic rack of your local store. Now, take look at the Previews catalog. And finally, take a look through various comic book news websites. Now if you’re around the age of 30, a lot of…
If you are into comic books (a safe assumption if you are on this site), especially the ones with super heroes in them and you have always wanted those extraordinary powers for your very own, I suggest trying your hand…
DC is just past six months into its relaunch (don’t call it a comeback; I’ve been here for years) and we’ve been shown the new Shazam. That’s right, he’s not called Captain Marvel on covers anymore since DC lost that…
The comic book era of the 90’s gets crapped on a lot. And for good reason. It’s not so much that things like chrome covers, variant covers, inter-company crossovers or Image style artists were or are a bad thing, it…
The Super Comic Convention will be taking over the Excel Centre in London’s Docklands this weekend with a good looking panel schedule and an interesting prize for the ‘hardcores’ in costume – meaning… a likely showing of well-dressed nerds in…
We've had our fair share of speculation regarding a Watchmen prequel, but now we know for sure. DC is on a roll and they want to keep the momentum building. How better to do that then resurrect one of their best selling properties.
Last week I was on Twitter and I saw a post from DC about their new logo. Of course I clicked the link to see what this was all about. I was very surprised to see that DC had made…
This is my first Bound Together column that’s based on a book I don’t own, but it’s a doozy. In 1988 Graphitti Designs produced for DC a collected edition of Watchmen: a black hardcover in a slipcase with a good…
TCAF 2012 guests annouced, Miracleman and Marvel, DC fighting hunger, The Inifinite finite at issue four, and more.
A new Popeye comic, CBLDF advisory, a look at Parker, new X-O Manowar, DC April '12 solicits, DC logo announcement and more!
It has been four months since DC Comics unleashed their much anticipated New 52 relaunch. Not surprisingly, DC dominated 2011’s bestseller list. The only non-New 52 title that managed to squeak onto 2011’s top ten list was Ultimate Spider-Man #160.…
C.B. Daily Jan 13th: New DC titles, Conan interview, The Shadow and more.
Points of interest from the comics interweb; I sort the chaff so you only get the wheat. Should I have a catchy superhero name like Wheatman or Chaff Smasher?
A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last seven days. Great stuff by Watterson, Mignola, Miller, Rude and many more!
