DC’s official blog the Source had quite a bit of news today announcing the Brightest Day as a fallow up to the Blackest Night event. It will essentially be to Blackest Night what 52 was to Infinite Crisis, just with a bi weekly release of 26 instead of the weekly, that is two issues a month for…
The 2010 CES, Consumer Electronics Show, saw a flood of news about computer tablets. PC World has a nice break down of all the major tablet related announcements. The most notable being the HP tablet that will run on Windows 7. It looks like HP and Microsoft wanted to strike first with Apple likely to announcement their tablet…
While I have been finding manga that I enjoy, I have still been plagued by the problem of not knowing where to look for quality manga. From the start I was frustrated that no one could point me in the right direction based on my interest in everything by Naoki Urasawa (Pluto, 20th Century Boys, and Monster)….
I’m slowly but surely finding my way through the endless stacks of manga. Takehiko Inoue’s art has been by far the best I have come across in the manga that I have read or seen. His work is the only manga that strikes me the same way that American style comics with great artists due….

I’m…

The negatives are more obvious especially with Siege bearing down on us, but there are some very clear positives within Marvel as well. You have to dig a bit but they are there. With that in mind I thought I would…
The Beat has a rather interesting article on the debate between periodicals, as in the monthlies, versus original graphical novels. It is in response to what Brian Hibbs wrote in a recent column.
