With Heroes Con and Wizard World Philadelphia both happening this weekend, there’s a crap load of comic book news coming out right now. Of course, we won’t get into the really juicy stuff until the Comic-Con in San Diego next month and Wizard World Chicago in August, but that doesn’t mean there still isn’t a…
Book of the Week- Detective Comics #833 In a week that a lot of stuff came out that should have been quite good (but unfortunatley wasn’t), one title stood out to me due to its amazing surprise ending: Detective Comics. Since he took over the book a year ago, Paul Dini has rarely used the…
