When I was a young’un, I’d wake up early every Saturday morning to watch the crap out of some Batman Beyond. For whatever reason, a Batman in the future kind of seemed like one of the most awesome things ever (even if the show was pretty much just made up words, Seth Green, and day-glo [...]

Today I was reading through Steve Gerber’s Man-Thing # 16 and staring up at me on the first page was an advertisement so incredible I had to talk about it. Though the world of comics has always been a bizarre and ever-changing landscape a few concepts have remained intact. Among them is the idea of [...]
How Much for Fringe’s Alternate Universe Variant Covers?
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: May 21, 2010
So, a couple days ago over on DC’s The Source blog, they put up a weird cover for a “Red Lantern/Red Arrow” cover tribute to Neal Adams’ Green Arrow Vol. 2 #76. I saw it, kinda went “Well, that’s odd,” and left it at that. Being a gigantic nerd about the show Fringe (to the [...]

If you want your beloved Disney Afternoon heroes to come back to life in comic book form, apparently all you have to do is ask. Last October at Long Beach Comic Con, BOOM! Studios hosted a panel on their upcoming titles, including a few from their Disney line; Uncle Scrooge and Mickey Mouse. The second [...]
Happy Holidays from High Five!
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: December 25, 2009
I came across this in an old December 1983 Dallas Times Herald newspaper supplement issue of Spider-Man (the Kingpin goes to Dallas and dresses as Santa to hold some billionaires hostage, pretty lame story) and it seemed highly necessary, considering what today is. Anyways, do as the Hulk says and have a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, [...]

Warren Ellis and Garrie Gastonny started a new story in November called Supergod with Avatar Press publishing. Intended as the third installment of a thematic trilogy (Black Summer and No Hero being parts 1 & 2), Ellis and Gastonny explore concepts of superheroes, divinity, and religion. I know the idea of supermen as gods isn’t [...]
High Five! Comics! – #100
Posted by: Maggie_C on: November 11, 2009
Should we be releasing 5 variant versions of this post? Oooo! I know! We can release it wrapped in a black plastic wrapper and tell everyone it’s a collector’s item for sure! Orrrrr not. Jon, Rob, and I sat down a few months ago after tearing through a six-pack and a Wednesday pull. We started [...]

While taking a break from writing a post for tonight, I decided to flip through November 1967′s Brave and the Bold Vol. 1 #74 (hell yeah, Metal Man/Batman team-up!). And then, on page two, I found this little gem. Let that sink in. Batman is talking shit on Spider-Man, a character who doesn’t exist in [...]
