Last week, I looked at the first half of George Perez’s career (so far), from the time that he broke in with Marvel Comics in 1974 to the end of his Wonder Woman work at DC. Now, it’s time to pick up where we left off, with the second half of Perez’s career (so far) from 1991 to now.

There's more to the Marvel Universe than New York City -- that's the whole focus of my "Relocating the Marvel Universe" series. Well, in this entry, I finally hit New York state -- my home state. Sure, there's plenty of characters in NYC, but Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester and other cities get their share of heroes too.
Wanna read who goes where and why I put them there?… Continue

July 21, 2009 -- One of the most popular writers in fiction will be bringing the very first patriotic superhero to DC Comics – and no, the character isn’t who you think it is, and he’s not coming alone.
Brief history lesson: In January of 1940 – 14 months before Captain…

July 14, 2009 -- Do you remember how exciting the Sunday comics used to be? That’s the excitement this not-quite-a-kid-any-more got with DC’s
Wednesday Comics.
Although published by a comic-book company and appearing each Wednesday with the weekly shipments of comic books to comics shops (hence its name),
Wednesday Comics ($3.99) isn’t really a comic book. It’s more like the Sunday funnies,…

Can anyone do one of these blog things? Well, let's find out, shall we, Steve?
Let's see, what have I done lately that might be of interest to you folks? Well, I bought the wicked-hooby special DVD of
The Watchmen that come out this week. Gosh, it's long. I'm glad it wasn't that long in the the-ay-ter, I never would've made it through the whole thing if it was, on account of being a middle-aged guy. ('Nuff said.) Actually, I don't know how much longer it was than the…

For a fella whose comic's been cancelled the Blue Beetle is certainly prominent - he's in Teen Titans every month, has a strip in the back of Booster Gold and here he is co-starring in Brave and Bold. Mind, I'm not surprised DC creators like the character so much: he has an interesting look, great supporting cast and, most importantly, a thoroughly engaging personality. His youthful perspective and sense of humour has Jaime Reyes stealing any story he…

July 7, 2009 -- Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the first superstars of the comic-book industry, are being celebrated in a new hardback by Titan Books.
The Best of Simon and Kirby ($39.95) lovingly reprints 26 stories from 1940 to 1960 by the first comic-book creators to have their bylines on the cover, in an era that usually didn’t have creator credits anywhere at all. And well they should: Simon and Kirby…

Half a year into the new line-up, and the Avengers were more fractured than ever. Team meetings were as contentious as dinners with the Ewings on Dallas.But Cap’s Kooky Quartet was up against more than internal dissention. From the start, there had been unease over the new team’s lack of raw power compared to the classic Avengers. As Hawkeye, with uncharacteristic introspexion, observed at their first press… Continue

Green Lantern Hal Jordan lays down the law to the Justice League, annoyed that the team isn't proactive enough in terms of going after villains and ending their threat for good. He reminds them that as the local representative of the Guardians of the Universe, he is the law. And he's going to step up before more heroes such as Batman and the Martian Manhunter get killed. So, with the ever-loyal Green Arrow, he exits the League satellite to do ...…
