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 [...]

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 [...]

I got to open a Christmas present in October this year; Rob picked up Spider-Woman #1 (Volume One, not the new Bendis run) for me at Long Beach Comic Con. (Thanks Rob!) I finally opened it tonight, thinking “This was written in 1978, it’ll be cheesy enough to lovingly mock, right?” Turns out, not so [...]

So the dead have been rising all summer – and in the DCU there’s a whole helluva lot of dead folk. In issue number three, the current Firestorm makes it to JLA headquarters only to see Black Lantern attacks playing out on ALL of their monitors. And in Washington, D.C.? Yup. That’d be the Black [...]

Licensed titles have traditionally sucked. They’re usually put out as big money grabs with crappy stories and half assed art. Notsomuch anymore. Dark Horse is built on well-executed licensed titles, and BOOM! has followed their, lead – though with much lighter fare. Jurassic Park – Rob: A lot of people say that this franchise should [...]
