Happy MLK Day, everyone! Marvel put out three X-books last week, and we're gonna recap them as usual. Like Dr. King, I too have a dream– a dream that Marvel will one day give Chris Claremont an ongoing series. That dream has yet to come true, but they did put out a Chris Claremont Anniversary […]
2000AD should repurpose the sign for the old Windmill Theatre strip club in Soho, "We Never Closed", used after they stayed open and running through the Second World War and the Blitz. Because while all manner of comic book companies stopped publishing comics during the shutdown, Rebellion kept publishing 2000AD every week, and Judge Dredd […]
Scott Williams is best known as the inker of Jim Lee's pencils, and has fulfilled that role at Marvel, WildStorm and DC Comics for over thirty years. Recently he shared some news involving his work with a different co-founder of Image Comics, Rob Liefeld. And a cover for New Mutants #90 that he inked from […]
Neil Gaiman's seminal run on The Sandman introduced The Endless to captivated readers in 1989. Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium are a family of seven supernatural beings that, as you can probably tell from the name, encompass different forces of existence. One of the most beloved works featuring The Endless is Death: The High […]
We love him almost as much as he loves lasagna. Garfield is an American icon and is as synonymous with newspaper comic strips as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Calvin, and Hobbes. Cartoonist Jim Davis launched Garfield in 1978 and still draws it to this day, continuing an incredible 42-year run on this iconic title. The title that […]
The Associated Press is reporting that a Tintin comic book cover by Herge sold at auction last week for 2.6 million euros or $3.1 million, "breaking the record for the most expensive comic book art in history." They are wrong, of course. Fake news. As it were. The painting used was the basis of the […]

The listing for the first of the DC Infinite Frontier hardcover collections, Batman: The Cowardly Lot, has hit Amazon, with a listing that reveals a little more. The current DC Future State books reveal a Gotham transformed, with Mayor Nakano hiring The Magistrate to create a fascist police state, banning all vigilantes and (supposedly) killing […]
We mentioned earlier today that Image Comics had been changing their tune regarding the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series published by Boom Studios and were starting to us the series to promote the new Kyle Higgins' series Radiant Black, going to FOC today. That line of thinking looks smart when you consider Boom […]
As I mentioned last week, "it wasn't that long ago that Image Comics executives were rather dismissive to me of Power Rangers comic books", but that tune seems to have changed as Image is launching what looks to us like their own "Power Ranger" comic series, Radiant Black by former Power Rangers architect Kyle Higgins […]

It's dangerous to buy anything on name value alone (just ask Cyberpunk 2077 players), but sometimes, a person can be tempted. The Seeds, a comic from Ann Nocenti and David Aja, is that temptation. Nocenti's a world-traveling comics veteran, and Aja, you know, from his trend setting work on Marvel's Hawkeye. Eagle-eyed readers will note […]
Bart lives a good life. He has a house, wife, kids, and a cute little dog who likes to chew on his shoelaces. His profession's actual reality only shadows the pride he feels in his day-to-day life; it's Bart's last day as a clown, and his family couldn't care less about him. The niche of […]
There's been quite a lot written about the rise to prominence of DC Comics character and Batman villain Black Mask in recent years — and for good reason. The character's rise from relative obscurity in 1980s DC Comics to major fixture of the DCEU across comics, games, TV, and film is impressive indeed. Created by […]

This amazing issue does the impossible: taking the brilliance of this already epic series and kicking it up into a wholly unseen and unexpected level. The Order that protects […]
Bleeding Cool has pointed out that DC Comics appears to be moving closer to an anthology model of publishing. Both in Future State and the comics to follow, there is a definite switch from a 20 pages-for-$3.99 model to a 60 pages-for-$7.99 price point. This is more like European publishing model for the newsstand. It […]
