High Five!’s Adventures at San Diego Comic-Con 2010

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 3, 2010

For dubbing our San Diego condo “Hive Five Headquarters,” we sure were quiet during the actual convention. Surely, the other blogs were covering all of the actual news stuff (OMG EYE-STABS) while we were out, you know, having fun and stuff. But we wouldn’t be much of a comic blog if we didn’t talk about [...]

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 [...]

20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade: 20-16

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 2, 2010

20. Kick-Ass – Mark Millar & John Romita Jr. Any list of the last decade’s top writers would have to include Mark Millar. Famous for his work getting Marvel’s Ultimate Universe off the ground and for horror-satire-mind-f***s like The Unfunnies, Millar had already made his mark by 2008, but it took the creator-owned gem Kick-Ass [...]

In a world so distinctly sci-fi as Doktor Sleepless, Warren Ellis has found one hell of a twist on this Philip K. Dick meets Chuck Palahniuk vision of the future. If you have ever mused to yourself, “We live in the future. Where is my jet pack?” then you should know Warren Ellis feels the [...]

When God Ends the World: Warren Ellis – Avatar Press – Supergod

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: December 12, 2009

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 [...]

Warren Ellis: Totally Jealous of the Six Million Dollar Man

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 12, 2009

This week marked the end of another legendary comic book opus, Planetary, so it really seems like now would be the time to spotlight one of my all time favorite comic writers, Warren Ellis. While most writers embrace the theme of futurist technology, Ellis seems to take it, add many elements of transhumanism (essentially, using [...]

Abigail Brand: Nick Fury with Depth Perception (also, Boobs)

Posted by: Maggie_C on: October 8, 2009

I love Abigail Brand. I’ve wanted to dye my hair green ever since she first showed up during Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men run as the head of S.W.O.R.D. – the CIA to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s FBI – with her alien-green hair and sweet sunglasses. Whedon’s golden-touch when it comes to kick ass female characters was turned to eleven [...]
