I'm considering picking up Tomb of Dracula in trades at some point. It might not be soon, but I at least want to add it to my wish list. Should I get the Essential Tomb of Draculas in black and white, or the color trades that are coming
Throw away your bootlegs. It looks like this short-lived, critically-panned and not-so-fondly remembered tv show is finally getting an official release.
The A/V Club apologizes to its readers because another website, Comics Comics, flags its review of the book Genius, Isolated: The Life and Art of Alex Toth as being bogus, owing to the fact that not only is the book not published yet, its still in th
I didn’t post this to the “Captain America” thread because I’m not convinced this is a Captain America series, per se; in fact I’m not quite sure what this is, but yesterday was light so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s written by Ben McCool and dra

I was listening to the soundtrack for Wicked a while back and I realized that the characters from Glee would be great stand-ins for the love triangle. Finn Hudson would make a great Fiyero. He's a hunk who wants to do the right thing, but is slight
Since I've gotten sucked up into The Walking Dead (thanks Guys!), I've been remembering a TV movie from my youth about another cataclysmic disaster. It was about a plague, too but it killed, I think, 90% of the population while the rest were immune t
The first issue of The Defenders I ever saw was #12, at Droste Drug Store, my secondary source for comics books in those days. (My primary source was Ahmann’s Newsstand.) It was late 1973 and my favorite character was the Incredible Hulk. I already k
In Justice League #54, the new JLA takes on a new version of longtime DC unattached villain, Eclipso. Of course, Eclipso debuted in House of Secrets #61(Au'63) and lasted until #80 (O'66). He was remembered for three main reasons. One, from #63 to #6
This four-issue mini-series is about Jeff Mace, the third Captain America in revised Marvel continuity, one of my favorite subjects. In the original Golden Age stories, the Patriot didn’t have much of an origin. The character debuted as a text featur
