We’ve been over this before. Again and again. I hate the television show “Heroes.” It’s no secret. I also really enjoy arguing about it. This is the last time I’m ever going to mention the show here or anywhere else (unless I’m really drunk, in which case I might just start shouting at anybody nearby…
“Omigod! This thing’s counting down!” – Pied Piper It’s not a good week this week. Never is, it seems. Things open with Piper realizing that Trickster’s really, truly dead (the bullet holes in his forehead and chest should’ve been an indication) and then realizing that his little wrist bracelet thing recognizes Trickster as being dead…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Twenty years ago, Alan Moore was working for DC, and had recently written a little comic called, “Watchmen.” In the wake of that, he wrote a proposal for a 12-issue series called, “Twilight of the Superheroes.” His argument for it was that the DC superheroes could never really…
You know those creepy voyeur websites floating all over the Internet? You know how sometimes, you see some creepy pictures of a girl who was asleep, naked, and some guy just decided to take her picture and throw it up online? If not, I don’t even want to know you, but, if you’re anything like…
I’d like to say that I didn’t write the blog for last week’s issue of Countdown to Final Crisis because there was a lot to digest, and I didn’t quite know of a good place to jump in for discussion, seeings as how it’s the first issue since…the first issue of this series that Paul…
Ed Brubaker, writer of some of the best currently running comic books, posted this on his MySpace blog yesterday, regarding the future of “Criminal,” the Harvey Award Winner for Best Writer and the Scream Award Winner for Best Artist (the amazing Sean Phillips), as well as the winner of the Eisner Award for Best Writer…
Wow, that was a close call. For the past couple of weeks, Countdown has shown promise. Here I was, thinking we had ourselves a genuine turn-around. Boy, was I ever wrong! This week, we’re back to the usual flawed piece of garbage we’ve grown to love to hate, and we’re (kind of) introduced to an…

Mark Bagley, artist best known for his work on New Warriors in the ’90s and especially his run on Ultimate Spider-Man, is headed to DC, according to Newsarama: Newsarama has learned that long-time Marvel penciler Mark Bagley, whose current exclusive contract with the publisher reportedly expires at the end of this year, will move to…
Well, color me slightly impressed. For the second week in a row, it seems as if this series finally has a sense of direction and knows what it’s doing with itself. Is that direction headed in a way that will eventually pay off into an interesting series? I don’t know. I suppose I’ll give you…
