Hey, all!
CBG is doing a cover story on the top 10 comics stories of 2010. What do you think they are? No need to come up with 10 -- just the one or ones you thought were biggest. The more opinions, the merrier!
EDITED: Lumbering Jack raised a good que
Is anyone here planning to buy the Superman: Earth One HC? I was very seriously considering it. My LCS didn't necessarily under-order, but the ones they did order sold faster than anticipated. I think he said there were four pre-orders and I forgot h
Read more…I consider myself fortunate that when I began reading comics, DC converted several titles to 100 pages. These were goldmines for classic Golden and Silver Age gems and classics. The new lead story, not so much. World's Finest #223 (My-Ju'74) introduc

Dark Horse - Two issues of Usagi Yojimbo this month! It's such a great book and should have a lot more readers. The Hellboy Double Feature of Evil one-shot and the fourth issue of Baltimore: Plague Ships are on the list.
DC - Hokey smok
Read more…I like stories about Captain Pike’s Enterprise if they’re done well, and this one is done very well, indeed. The story is told in two parts and deals with the relationship between Christopher Pike and Yeoman (later Captain) Colt. The first part of th

Today, you can read several digital Marvels free. I don't have time to read them now but will tonight. I haven't read any of this week's titles previously. They are...
A Crisis on Infinite Earths story with George Perez art? What’s not to like? Actually, this is a story I’ve long since thought needed to be revisited. In the post-CoIE DCU there had been a “Crisis,” but there no longer were “Infinite Earths.” This is

the ears are wrong, but still.....
I bought this one on a whim, but probably would have given it a pass if it had been the first issue of a new ongoing series. A quick flip-through told me two things: that Bryan Glass’s story was respectful of continuity and that the art and coloring

In a nutshell, McFarlane didn't want to pay Gaiman any more for the characters of Medieval Spawn and Angela so he "created" near duplicates called "Dark Ages Spawn," "Domina," and "Tiffany"
Page 3, panel 1: That's Supergirl again. As I feared, they did not explain her prescence, now they do not explain her absence. Her sacrifice is not mentioned, the most public of Crisis' heroic deaths. Was she drawn in as a homage to her original sign

He first (and last?) appeared in Marvel Two-In-One #13 (Ja'76) which featured The Thing teaming up with Luke Cage, Power Man. Luke debuted in 1972 in Hero For Hire #1 and in his first years integrated himself into the M
