By Grant Morrison and Dave McKean 15th Anniversary Edition published in 2004 by DC Comics This won’t be a traditional Library of Doom review because I imagine at this point in human history, 20 years after its initial publication, there are probably few people interested in a traditional review of Arkham Asylum. Prior to last…
BATMAN #693 I totally intended to stop buying this book once Tony Daniel took over, but I accidentally bought the first issue of his arc. Much to my surprise, it wasn’t as terrible as Battle for the Cowl. It still wasn’t necessarily good, but it was not-awful enough that I think I’m going to keep…
I pick up Previews every month. I have probably only ordered a half dozen things from Previews in the past few years (and by ordering something from Previews, I mean telling my shop owner “Hey, I saw this is coming out. Can you order one for me?”) but I still read through the thing and…
Created as part of 24 Hour Comic Book Day, Oct 2-3, 2009. Of the Doomkopf gang, I was the only one who was able to participate this year. Check out our creations from 24HCBD 2008. Notes and spoilers on this comic after the jump. [simpleviewer=4]…
Marvel editor C.B. Cebulski went on a mini-twitter-tirade against Wizard today: More shoddy, sensationalistic reporting in the new Wizard. Let them retweet that as it seems this is where they’re getting all their “news”. (source) @jengrunwald With that kind of misinformation, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a Wizard podcast. (source) @richjohnston I think…
I needed something to read over lunch today, so I cheated on my regular Wednesday shop and swung by the comic shop that’s closer to my workplace to pick something up. I settled on Daredevil: Dark Reign: The List #1 as 1) I am a Daredevil fan and reader and 2) its standalone nature suited…
As someone who has griped extensively about $3.99 comics (I had to get through two pages of more recent $3.99 moaning just to find that post in the archives) I was super pumped to see this story from Rich Johnston: What if the comics, rather than creeping towards the $3.99 price, suddenly dropped. To $1.99….
I am no manga fan. I have nothing against the stuff — I just don’t know much. The only series I’ve ever read was Death Note, which I eventually dropped around volume 9 or so because I just got tired of all the twists and what seemed like a contractual obligation to continue stretching the…
I was at Burger King the other day and noticed on their G.I. Joe promotional materials that Snake Eyes has a mouth. Why on earth would you give Snake Eyes a mouth?
Check out this lede from the San Diego Union Tribune’s coverage of Comic-Con: The 40th annual Comic-Con, which ended its 4½-day run in the San Diego Convention Center yesterday, resembled an issue of “Batman.” Like the Dark Knight, the pop-culture extravaganza was rich in bold characters, nail-biting suspense and wild humor. I think I need…
