At long last, DC has released solicitation info for the first issue of a new Legion of Super-Heroes series, written by Josh Williamson and drawn by Hayden Sherman (who, impossibly, has been working on this in tandem with Absolute Wonder Woman for mon
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 th
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, i
"My name is Frau Rani." I think I like the Third Rani better than the Second one.
A seventh son of a seventh son, with seven sons of his own. So which one will end up becoming Johnny Thunder? I don't like the "magical" thinking that has
Captain America was "put on ice" (retroactively) in 1945 and rescued by the Avengers in 1964. Man Out of Time (2010) had him being revived in the mid-to-late '90s, and "Our Secret Wars" (2025) in the early 2Ks. But there was an earlier version, from
The Complete Steve Ditko's Mr. A - I have some of this stuff but not all, and not in a consistent format on high-quality paper. (I wouldn't mind seeing a nice collection of Static, either.)

Saw a Takashi Miike picture called The Great Yokai War. "Yokai" is a Japanese term for monsters from folklore, as opposed to the more familiar kaiju. It's a kids' picture, about a young boy from Tokyo sent out to live in the countryside with his olde
I didn't entirely get the intended construction of the jokes in the Sunday Bizzaro (Sp??) strip yesterday . ( The strip appars to be not online , as it is a King Features Syndicate strip , who - Gasp !!! - appear to think they're in the comics busi

Every week, one item or another in my pull and hold stands out for me above the rest in one way or another. Sometimes it’s a periodical, sometimes a graphic novel, sometimes a collection. Does that happen to you? If so, let’s hear about it here. It c
"Welcome to the 803rd Interstellar Songn Contest!" This is all derived from the Eurovision Song Contest, which I know little about. I first heard of it when it was briefly mentioned in an episode of Monty Python's Flying Cir
This thread is a companion to the "A Cover A Day" discussion. Click here to visit that discussion. It is intended for the discussion of potential new themes and topics for "A Cover A Day", voting on these themes, and the gathering and reporting of
In previous years, this was a memory box so we didn't miss any good nominations for the Cappies. With the Cappies hypertimed away, that doesn't mean we have to discontinue these threads. I've always liked going back at the end of the year and seeing
I bought Gotham City Cocktails because we have a bottle of locally made bourbon that we have been sampling called Blue Note. I say "sampling" in that we didn't drink any (we're not hard-liquor drinkers very much) until we binged Deadwood. In the cour
