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: Scott Snyder.

Campaign of the Week: ‘In the Dark:’ A Horror Anthology

If you love horror comics, or even supernatural stories, this is a perfect comic for you as you'll get huge 250 page book filled from cover to cover with quality work from the writers and artists who offered their time to work on the project without any compensation up front. These ladies and gentlemen love their craft and love writing and drawing within the horror genre, and if you're a fan of their work or the genre itself you should support this project. The $50 perk is a great reward on its own, but if you're outside the U.S. and are squeamish about the extra shipping cost, getting the $10 digital PDF version is a great option

My collection is quite minimal and modest compared to most… to be honest. But I do own a few little gems that are definitely cool and I wanted to share the highlights here and encourage you to do the same,…

Issue one of the new Batman series hit store shelves last week, perhaps the premier title of the third week of DC Comics' relaunch. The book features Scott Snyder at the helm as Bruce Wayne is formally returned to the scene of his greatest triumphs and failures: Gotham.

I love Batman. Maybe not as much as this guy, but maybe that’s a good thing. The last four years have been a very good time to be a Batman fan. Grant Morrison has been giving us a run that…

I don’t really recall where I first came across Jock’s art for the first time, it’s probably the Losers – but chances are it was a Batman cover or something. Either way, he’s quickly become one of my favourite artists…
