Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
IDW had some announcements at Wondercon this past weekend, but the one that caught my eye was the release of Walter Simonson’s The Mighty Thor Artist’s Edition. Here’s their blurb: San Diego, CA (April 1, 2011) – IDW Publishing is…
ComicLink March Focused Auction The ComicLink March Focused Auction has just ended. This time around I want to focus on a “Tale of Two Comics”. Amazing Spider-Man #1 (ASM #1) and Journey into Mystery #83 (JIM #83) are two comics…
This week hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija talk about the new Future Foundation comic book, the just past Wizard World Toronto show, Spider-Man and Superman movie news, Stephen King writing a Walking Dead episode, collectible Thor movie tickets and…
I’ve been following the online kerfuffle among some fanboys that Idris Elba is playing Heimdall in Thor, which made the front page of Yahoo!Canada this morning. Some are saying that this is political correctness run amok, others are saying that…
As I’ve previously mentioned on a few occasions, I’m a pretty big fan of pro wrestling. And as I’ve previously mentioned on those previous occasions, yes, I’m well aware that it’s scripted. I like my stories, OK? Wrestlemania is upon…
Welcome to another installment of Pick Five, where one of our writers picks five of whatever comic related “fill in the blank” that tickles their fancy. The success rate of adapting comic book properties into other media is astonishing and…
Before you get too excited it’s only a cover but never the less it’s Walt Simonson returning to his longest running work, Thor. Let’s hope someone can talk him into a regular gig; give the image a click to see…
Every week CBD’s Editor in Chief Pete DeCourcy asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers, we’ll be doing this for 52 weeks. Tip of the hat goes to the gang at Scans_Daily for the inspiration.…
There’s so much going on in this trailer. We can see that there likely will be no real use of Donald Blake, since when he lands he recognizes that he isn’t on Asgard anymore and they probably thought the whole…
So, let’s take a small perusal of just what looks good to me from Marvel’s Solicitations for December. ULTIMATE COMICS DOOM #1 (of 4) Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS Penciled by RAFA SANDOVAL Cover by BRYAN HITCH Variant Cover by…
I am always one to admit when I’m wrong. And boy did I miss the mark on what would be announced at Comic Con. No Bendis job movement, no real Vertigo crossover announcement, nothing about The Shadow. In fact in…
Woah, that’s pretty interesting stuff… what do you think? Oh and there’s more.. here’s the second trailer – this time for the Thor video game.
With Chris Evans and the rest of the Captain America: The First Avenger crew hitting Comic Con this weekend, you can bet we’ll see the Star Spangled Avenger in his full regalia. To tide you over check out this poster,…
The pictures from Kenneth Branagh’s Thor keep rolling in, and they keep making the Marvel panel at Comic Con my most anticipated event of the coming weekend. The pictures so far look really, really campy and kind of plastic. I…
I honestly was working on a great column for this week…and then I honestly ran out of time to finish it (you will see it eventually, it’s another 101 piece much like the Grendel one that ran a while ago).…
This September, superstars Matt Fraction, Pasqual Ferry and Matt Hollingsworth take the reins of Thor and begin a thunderous new direction! In Thor #615, following the stunning events of Kieron Gillen’s acclaimed Thor epic, the ruins of Asgard are now…
So this week I decided to do a bit of dreaming. A lot of people like fantasy football or various mythical match ups for UFC fights so why can’t I do the same for comics? Before I begin I would…
I’ve been a fan of Pasqual Ferry’s art since I came across it through he and Andy Diggle’s Adam Strange mini-series. It was bold and beautiful and filled with dynamic pages. Seriously – every single panel looked like it could…
By Odin’s Mane this is pretty sweet. Yahoo Movies has the first image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor from the upcoming live-action movie directed by Kenneth Branagh. It still gives us a great idea of how Hemsworth will look as…
