Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
IDW Publishing launched the very first Artist’s Edition in 2010. It was a bold concept that to date has garnered five consecutive Eisner Awards in the category of Best Archival Project. With the release of Chris Samnee’s Daredevil Artist’s Edition…
52 weeks. 52 different writers. 2 trade paperbacks or hardcovers a week. Each week I’ll take a look at a different writer and read two different collected editions from within that person’s repertoire to help in the examination of their work: Mark Waid.
It’s time for another update from BIFF SOCKO, TWO-FISTED NEWSHOUND. Biff Socko covers Comic Book News like zits on the A-V Club. Faster than Perry White! Stronger than J. Jonah Jameson! Hotter than Cat Grant. He is…BIFF SOCKO!
There are very few praises I will sing for Mark Waid, and while this may sound as though I’m preparing to lambaste the current Daredevil scribe once again, I’m not. To his credit he has been a driving force behind the comic book industry's evolution as it steps towards its digital age, understanding what it is we're on the precipice of and making an effort to embrace it. A second point I give him credit for is the crux of this post he made in 2009 on the very necessity of the comic book editor.
One of the biggest daggers thrown at webcomics is that because it’s so easy to start one, anybody can do it and there’s just so much poorly done work that webcomics are viewed as amateur and not worthy. Well what…
Long time readers know that I am a huge supporter of both digital comics and the local comic books store. Many out there believe that you can’t support both. That you need to pick a side and the time is…
Let's face a simple fact. If you look up and down Diamond's top selling books, it's made up of numerous DC titles, some choice Marvel titles, and from there, a selection of niche books which have their cemented places in fans' comic shop pull lists.
Last week I saw something truly heinous, truly unseemly, truly asinine: "Daredevil is Marvel's best new comic series of 2011."
Daredevil has swashbuckled his way past low level villains and has continued to deny his connection to Daredevil, that is until he stumbled onto a plot involving Hydra and A.I.M. and the uniforms made famous by Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four.
Coming off the worst stretch of his life, Matt Murdock left New York and travelled cross-country to find himself. After a brief stay in New Mexico, Murdock rediscovered his nature after helping a small town overcome its problem with some aggressive locals. Upon returning to New York though, Murdock must face the consequences of his actions.
This week’s show is a lot of fun. Hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija discuss Mark Waid’s comments about the die-hards hijacking the monthly comic schedule, DC’s Flashpoint event, the new X-Men: First Class movie and a whole bunch of…
My…it’s certainly been a while, hasn’t it? For my first column back I thought I’d talk about something near and dear to my heart when it comes to comic books: Daredevil. The final issue of Daredevil Reborn dropped last week,…
Remember last week when I mentioned that my next column would be all about an alternate X-Men universe? Yeah… well… it didn’t go as planned. Here’s the story. About two or three weeks ago, I get a brilliant idea for…

I am not a fan of Wonder Woman. While there has been a few shining lights in her various comic series, the character has never struck a cord with me in printed form (more on that later) but I have…
