Out now on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK is Tomas Alfredson's remarkable adaptation of John Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It's a very cinematic

Kris Shaw's Marvel vs DC Omnibus video led to some pretty interesting discussion in the forum today. I'm a pretty big consumer of Omnibuses, archives, and

First we heard he was going to do a run on Avengers, now comes the official word about his graphic novel for DC.  Welcome back, Walt Simonson, hope this

A new source of spoiler info has steadily emerged in recent years, and I doubt it's going to change anytime soon.  Licensees have to have a lot of advance

The official blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man contains an interesting tidbit that has people wondering which comic version (and combination of storylines)

 I'm not privy to Rich's sources on this, but I'd bet on this rumor being true. It sounds like precisely the kind of thing that DC is trying to accomplish

Stan Lee is at Sundance this week,  promoting the debut of the documentary With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, among other things. Variety and

Lots of Avengers turning up on the site today, on both the film and comic sides.  Will the Avengers take the top 3 slots on both sides some day between

Although I have to agree with Brendon's assessment of the likelihood of this rumor, the wow factor makes it impossible to ignore.  It might (potentially)

I think John Layman speaks for us all on this matter when he posted in the BC forum in response to the story about Rob Liefeld and Robert Kirkman's The

Nice to see that the new Riddick is actually moving forward. With all the difficulties they've had getting it off the ground, I must admit I had my doubts

I haven't read Uncanny X-Men recently and have been meaning to catch up since Rich has been talking about it, but since I have been intrigued by what

Neil Gaiman and a group of several other artists and creators have just released the following open letter to Washington regarding SOPA: We, the

It turns out they like Sherlock quite a bit in Russia. Perhaps even moreso than people do everywhere else in the world, which is very much indeed.  I've

Looks like the rest of the world just caught onto what the comics world has been talking about the past few days: that new DC Comics logo.  We still don't

  It's hard not to be excited about what we've seen about Prometheus.  From the footage to the photos, interviews to rumors, it all seems to be

Two top stories about Gotham today, both involve comics only indirectly.  Too bad that the Gotham by Gaslight Xbox pitch didn't end up going anywhere,

  I'd  forgotten that the DC logo introduced in 2005 was then referred to as the DC Spin, until Rich mentioned that earlier today. I've always quite

It had been a pretty sleepy year for comic news in the early going of 2012, but it looks like the industry has come to life over the past couple days.

DC Comics polished off the first busy news day of the year with a bit of continuing old business -- five months in, the presses are still rolling on

Marvel sweeps the top spots today with a trio of unrelated tidbits. I'm curious to see where the Marcus Johnson mystery goes in particular, because if

  The announcement that Walt Simonson will do a six issue stint with Bendis on The Avengers seems to have everyone's attention today, and with good

Both Marvel and DC elaborated on major upcoming event storylines today (alas, not with each other), with Batman's The Night of the Owls generating more

I'm not sure what to make of the unorthodox ending of The Devil Inside since I haven't seen it yet, but the amount of attention that post got today

  It was one of the most controversial topics of last year, and it is certain to be regularly discussed in 2012 as well.  Of course, it's almost

Despite nearly universal criticism of AvX Versus in the forum, I love the idea -- if properly executed. In an era during which we have tumblrs dedicated

  There has almost always been an element of the politics of the times in our comics. Even if you ignore policital cartoons and cartoonists -- many
