It was a busy weekend for news thanks to the C2E2 convention in Chicago. : GraphicLy officially launched its desktop version of their digital comics store with their mobile version soon to debut. I tried the desktop version and found it to be somewhat better then the LongBox digital service. There are a number of free…
I ended up being disapointed with Flash Rebirth. It started off well but it quickly become plagued with problems from delays to editorial have a far to heavy hand on the project. Despite that I wanted to give the relaunch of the Flash monthly a try. I like Francis Manapul’s work, so that was enough…
According to CBR, the first issue of Hickman’s SHIELD has sold out and is going to a second printing. For me that is the best news I have heard from Marvel recently. I thought the first issue was great but I wasn’t sure how well it would do given how new a property it is…
I made this point in a previous post among other points, but I wanted to come back to this point as right now it’s one of the larger issues I’m seeing with all the news and debate that the iPad has generated. I’m getting increasingly angry as everywhere I look people are talking about the…

So the iPad is finally here. The reviews have been positive even though no one is sure why exactly anyone will want to buy one of these things, but it is clear if you do buy one you will like it. Now I’m clearly in the naysayer camp when it comes to the iPad and…
Over the last decade, Chris Claremont’s track record at Marvel has been poor. Heck, since leaving X-Men in 1991, his comic writing in general has been poor. Two words: Sovereign Seven. So when I heard about X-Men Forever, where-in Claremont is going back and rebooting the X-Men as if nothing had changed since he left…
I gave up reading X-Men comics awhile ago, shortly after “Messiah CompleX” ended. I followed the team’s move out to San Francisco, but once they had that whole flash into the 70s thing, the art became inconsistent, and I gave up. I should clarify: that was Uncanny. I gave up on the other stuff immediately…
Under Paul Levitz DC has always seem content to be the number 2 company as they never seemed truly interested in taking the kind of risks that Marvel has. Now that was not a bad strategy given the extreme boom and bust swings of Marvel. Matt Price of Nerdage did a nice job of cover the ComicPRO…
