Recently I've been going through a phase of resurrecting and completing old, unfinished discussions. My discsussion of Daredevil was split across many posts in the "What Comic Books Have You Read Today?" thread. Not that I expect anyone else other th
The Anglican Marines- our Steven's getting in as many callbacks to his era as he can.
I'm thinking that the woman on the "ambulance" screen (Susan Twist) is the one that you're talking about. She first appeared as Isaac Newton's housekeeper in "Wild
I've been waiting with trepidation to see the fallout on Diamond's online information since the bankruptcy was announced. Well, the other shoe has dropped — and it's as bad as I feared.

KRYPTO: THE LAST DOG OF KRYPTON #1 (OF 5, DC COMICS, $3.99) is by writer Ryan North and artist Mike Norton. Maybe it's the recent Superman Family and Superboy reprint books, but I find myself missing Krypto. And lo, he appears! Here i
Oni Press's new "EC" imprint first came to my attention when my retailer gave me a double-sided promotional poster (because I buy all those archival EC reprints published by Dark Horse and Fantagraphics and IDW). I thought it was a good sign that the
