Dracula: The Company of Monsters #1 Preview!

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 24, 2010

Vampires are everywhere right now (really, X-Men? Really?) and when I saw that a book with a title like Dracula: The Company of Monsters was coming out on BOOM!, my first thought was, “Oh, shit, not you guys, too!” But then I saw a glimmer of hope shining through my funk of apathy for the [...]

High Five! Top Ten! – Most Important Gay Moments in Comics

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: June 14, 2010

Over the past couple months, some people have been going batshit crazy over the fact that Kevin Keller (who is – wait for it – GAY) transferred to Riverdale High to spend eternity in high school with Archie and the gang. Granted, this is a big step for a property that allowed Spire Christian Comics [...]

7 Psychopaths #1: My Favorite Non-Alcoholic French Import

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: May 24, 2010

I’ve always been a bit curious about foreign comics. Aside from a few old Astérix comics I’ve flipped through, I’m pretty much in the dark about any comics from the non-English speaking world. Meanwhile, over in France, Delcourt Productions has been reprinting translated versions of a bunch of American and Japanese comics including Invincible, The [...]

Creator Spotlight: Peter Krause

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: May 6, 2010

Heyo everybody! Jonny here. It’s no secret that here at High Five! we love us some BOOM! Studios. Recently I was given the opportunity to interview artist/writer Peter Krause whose work includes pencils for Irredeemable, The Power of Shazam!, and sundry 90s Star Trek comics. Published below is my Q&A session with Mr. Krause, conducted [...]

The Duck Knight Returns: Darkwing Duck Preview!

Posted by: Maggie_C on: April 28, 2010

Christmas came early this year! This morning, I woke up to a five page preview of BOOM! Studios‘ upcoming Darkwing Duck title. I’ve been a little nervous ever since the miniseries was announced because this thing has the potential to completely ruin my childhood. I needn’t have worried. Darkwing is safe under the stewardship of [...]

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 [...]

20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade: 4. Irredeemable

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 9, 2010

What can I say about Mark Waid that I haven’t already said? When he took a job as editor in chief at BOOM! Studios I assumed Mark was settling down after a long career in comics with a fun job that would eventually end in retirement. I knew he was writing stuff like The Incredibles, [...]

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: January 12, 2010

A new decade has begun, and with it, High Five! Comics will soon be unveiling our special “20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade” event (take THAT, Siege). But before we reveal the big list, we’ll start with a series of supplementary entries from HF!C’s contributing writers about those comics we each individually loved, [...]

Wall-E #1: “And Now Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!”

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: December 20, 2009

When I was a small child,  my favorite book was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I loved this book for the pictures. I didn’t especially relate to a wild-child having a tantrum and being sent to his room. I did not own a wolf suit. I had certainly never been across a [...]

Incorruptible #1 – Mark Waid Should Be a Meta-Human Therapist

Posted by: Maggie_C on: December 14, 2009

Even as a good guy, Max Damage is a dick – and that’s what makes Incorruptible awesome. The  long-awaited (at least by us ) follow up to Mark Waid’s Irredeemable – which features the Plutonian, a Superman-esque hero, going very, very bad - Incorruptible is the story of a villain going straight. Mild spoilers ahead, folks. [...]
