A Cover a Day
Ok, how about this for an idea. We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day. This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent. What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow…
Read more…The DC Comics "All In" and "Absolute" discussion
It begins. Next month, DC Comics will split in two. When "Absolute Power" comes to an end -- and we have a thread on that HERE -- something happens that creates, for lack of a better term, a new Earth-2. This new parallel universe will be published…
Read more…The Legend of Grimjack
Grimjack remains one of my favorite characters/series despite the fact he hasn't had a regular series since 1991 or a new adventure since 2010. I think more about his entire life has been revealed than has about most other comic book characters who…
Read more…DC Finest line
A while back, DC announced a new line of reprints, called DC Finest, that packages about 500 pages of comics from various eras into a $40 softcover. From all appearances, it looks to be an attempt to mimic Marvel's successful Epic Collections line,…

Read more…My Column Art is Gone
I know we have a thread about problems on the board, but I can't find it, so I'm going with my own discussion.About an hour ago, I pulled up one of my older columns to reference, in order to answer a question on another site. To my horror---and…
Read more…Deadpool Team-Up
It has recently come to my attention that my comic book collection is deficient in "Deadpool" comics; I have only two and I have read only one. To that end I have set out to correct this deficiency by reading Deadpool Team-Up by character "creator"…
Read more…Cruel Universe
This is the second of Oni Press's new EC imprint (following last month's Epitaphs from the Abyss).SPOILERS - I generally don't like to know in advance if a story has a twist ending. That itself is a spoiler for me because in the back of my mind I…
