Erik Burnham has a Writer's Commentary on Red Sonja: Age Of Chaos #4, out now from Dynamite Entertainment. He writes; Hey, everybody — Erik Burnham here. It's been a few months since I've done one of these (and not a decade or so, like it feels.) Anyhow, let's talk Red Sonja: Age of Chaos #4. […]
The DC Comics Facebook page just sent out the following message to its readers. "An end is just a beginning. What did you think of SUPERGIRL #42?"

Jason Crager writes for Bleeding Cool, Where does inspiration come from? I often get asked that question being a comic book creator and artist. Inspiration can come from many places for me.
