This week is almost all about reboots and returns.  And before the break, I’m leading with this: MORE DETAILS ABOUT DC’S NEW 52: PAGE LEAKED FROM UPCOMING GRANT MORRISON ACTION COMICS #1!! Just kidding. But here’s some stuff we do know about the upcoming revamped DCU: Action Comics and Justice League are set in the [...]

Before I launch into the semi-regular comic book news items, I want to throw attention to Turbo Defiant Kimecan, an online graphic novel that’s been around since January 2010 and is poised to jump to print later this year.  But it’s not the print work that’s catching my attention, it’s how they handled the online [...]

I don’t buy a lot of loose issues–I tend to be a wait-for-the-trade kinda guy, ’cause bound volumes are easier to store and more durable, and most of the books I read are more fun in larger arcs.  But there are some titles I read month to month.  These are their stories. This week I [...]

I have so much hot news for you this time, due in part to stuff that broke at comic-con and to the fact that so many superflicks are coming in a matter of months, that I broke these posts up.  This one on printed comics, for hardcore geeks like me and CD and Flightdreamz (it’s [...]

Looks like it’ll be a very, very good year.  This here’s number 11.  Hit the break for more.

Fast reviews of last week’s comics! Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5. Best issue of the series ever, due largely to the amazing artwork by relative newcomer Ryan Sook (of “Seven Soldiers”) and also because, finally, something relevant happened.  I get the sense that most of issues 1 through 4 are, and will be, [...]

I don’t know about you, but I think “No Ordinary Family” is pretty meh, and I have no idea when “Capes” is coming to broadcast TV.  NBC’s “Heroes” has died a prolonged, choking death.  So why is there so much talk about Marvel (especially) and D.C. (kinda) jumping into the serialized TV drama market?  The [...]

I’m such a huge fan of hornhead that I made a pledge to buy every single Shadowland and tie-in (except for Thunderbolts, which I’ll probably get in trade).  I’ve never done that before, ever, but since they promised to include so many of my favorite hard-to-find characters (Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Shang Chi, Black Tarantula, [...]

1.  BLACK PANTHER IS DAREDEVIL. Okay, lead story has to be that the Gambit rumors were all wet and the new Daredevil is T’Challa.  Or will be, anyway, when Daredevil #513 comes out and the title is: Black Panther: Man Without Fear.  It’s all temporary until we get Daredevil: Reborn next year, a miniseries by [...]

It’s been a few weeks—I’ve been busy—so some of this may be old . . . But at least there’s a lot of it! 1. WALKING DEAD. Of course this is the lead story . . . AMC released a 4-minute trailer, and confirmed that the show will launch on Halloween for a special 90-minute [...]
