Read more…The topic's as simple as its title: what comics are you reading these days?
I'm not so much curious about the going-back-to-stuff-from-the-past readings, although those are interesting; I'm wondering what books that are just hitting the stands my f

I haven't been looking forward to this collection quite as much as the upcoming Superboy one, but still I'll likely get around to reading it sooner rather than later, hence the stub. (If anyone else wants to delve into it ahead of me, please feel fre

We just finished watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes (for the third time, I think). I have been in love with this franchise ever since I was a kid. I was disappointed with the 2001 version, but Rise was everything I thought I wanted: high product

Last night I was reading Tom Peyer's editorial in Howl #4, in which he had this to say about Disbrow:
