I just read Cars: Radiator Springs #3 to Alex as his bedtime story. Well, I read it but I didn't understand half of it. I understood the English half just fine. It was the half in Italian that left me mostly clueless. Yep, this comic aimed at kids--A
Chabon: My 6-year-old loves it, my 8-year-old loves it, my 12-year-old loves it, my 15-year-old loves it, my wife loves it, I love it ... everybody loves it! It’s not necessarily a case where we all find the same things about it
Back in the Sixties, when the Superman Family were forever meeting/romancing doubles of themselves, I remember editor Mort Weisinger's lettercol telling us more than once that everyone on Earth has 17 doubles (so how many must there be across the uni
Wow, there were some good comics out this week. I picked up Beasts of Burden 3, Criminal 2, Fantastic Four 573, Green Lantern 48, Wonder Woman 38, Justice League of America 39, Blackest Night 5, and Detective Comics 859 -- and the only real disappoin

So, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the USA, and since I most likely won't be on-line tomorrow, I'lll wish you all a happy holiday and offer up the only Thanksgiving song I know of:
We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;

These are the type of epic, multi-crossover events that drove me from comics in the mid-1980s, but when I stumbled upon the complete six issue run of "Infinity War" for 25 cents each I couldn't resist. And while I probably wouldn't read it again, I r
I just saw a preview of "The Gauntlet" at Newsarama. It's the new storyline in Amazing Spider-Man, and I've got no idea how long it'll last -- or how long even the first chapter of it, dealing with Electro and written by Mark Waid, will last. Anyone
My biggest (and most pleasant) surprise of the week turned out to be my biggest disappointment. It’s not that this EYKIW was poorly written (by Tom DeFalco) or poorly drawn (by Ron Frenz) so much as it is a continuity implant that is wholly unnecessa
The season two premiere airs tonight on Cartoon Network at 7:30p (E/P) with "Death Race to Oblivion!" Featuring the Joker, Steppenwolf, Gentleman Ghost, Mongul, Black Manta, Catwoman, Green Arrow, Plastic Man, Guy Gardner, and yes... even Woozy Winks
Passed away over the weekend - I remember him best as Robert McCall, the Equalizer, but he was also quite amusing in Hot Fuzz, and brilliant in Breaker Morant
Excerpt:
Joe Kubert, a comic book artist since 1938, has little interest in the accumulated work of his last seven decades; his focus is on new projects, he said recently. But comic book fans who feel differently about this celebrated illustrator wi
