… in other words, this is pretty much the worst news ever. Ok, so John’s going to get his own ongoing series in the DC’s New 52, but this is pretty much what I said I was worried about when the New 52 and Justice League Dark was announced in the first place. There is [...]
Marvel once owned the rights to the word “Zombie”
… s’true. Bet they’re ruing letting that one go. That fact, and more in the infographic below.
Before Watchmen: Details and Art
Yep… no more rumours, this time it’s official. From the mouth of DC themselves comes news of BEFORE WATCHMEN; a series of 7 connected “prequels” to the revered WATCHMEN from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Here’s a full breakdown of the event: RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee Bermejo MINUTEMEN (6 issues) [...]
Avengers Vs. X-Men #1: 7 page preview
Yep, it’s finally here. Check out the 7 page preview for “Avengers Vs. X-Men #1″ below. I have to admit, I’m not so much a fan of Romita’s work here, but sound off with your own thoughts in the comments.
Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 Cover
Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 will be out in April. Here’s the cover, drawn by John Romita Jr, showing Psylocke taking on Black Widow… and below that, Iron Man vs Magneto (which will be taking place in the AvX: Versus comic we discussed yesterday). Thoughts on the winners?
The Avengers vs The X-Men: AVX Versus
… aka “Most pointless book ever”. Ok, so look… I’m as excited for the Avengers/X-Men clash as any comic-loving dude would be. It’s going to be an absolute stonker, and I’m really looking forward to Magneto whomping on Iron Man’s ass. But this piece from Comic Book Resources has me more than a little confused. [...]
Peanuts #1 Preview
I’m sorry, I still love Peanuts, but I don’t think I can get behind this. Preview below… Peanuts #1 is on sale now from BOOM! Studios’ all ages kaboom! imprint. Based on the classic characters created by Charles Schulz, I’m not sure how I feel about this. Still… I’m willing to give it another shot.
Local Comic Stores vs. Amazon. Where do your loyalties lie?

They steal business from your local comic store, even going as far as to offer a “Price Check App” which allows comic book readers to go to their local shop, see what’s cool, scan the price, and inevitably find that it’s cheaper on Amazon. And buy it through their phone. Sounds like something that [...]
My favourite comic book panels of 2011
Really, there was no question that this was going to come from Atomic Robo’s “Dr Dinosaur”. Because he is, without doubt, the funniest villain I have ever read. Seriously kids, if you aren’t reading Atomic Robo yet, you’re seriously missing out. It’s one of the funniest, most entertaining comics out at the moment… and it [...]
