Read more…Kevin Smith’s (I guess you’d call it a) reality series is back for a second season. I had some less-than-complimentary things to say about the early episodes last year, but over the course of the season I found that it grew on me and I missed it when

Acually , I don't think The King ever made any appearances , specifically authorized/" as himself " ones in comic books of the Silver Age especially if we restrict this to standard-format " comic books " , as opposed
Read more…I was out of town yesterday, and while driving through I noticed a comic book store--probably wouldn't have stopped (plenty of comics already this week...) except they had a sign in the window that proclaimed "Free Comic Books Today". I stopped in to

Read more…The latest issue of Forever evil got me to wondering about this. Superwoman is basically Lois so a meeting between the two of them should really have been interesting.
Read more…Some graphic novels are as much public service as they are entertainment.
Take, for example, William Stout’s Legends of the Blues (Abrams ComicArts, $19.95). Not only is it gob-smackingly good, but it’s a treasure trove of information about the oft
