C2E2 is kicking off today in Chicago, and in a few hours, that means the presentation of the ComicBooks for Kids! CB4K Awards at 3pm to 4.30pm in Room S402-A. Last year's event, which did not require tickets, had very strong attendance, so the charity is suggesting getting there early. Major comics publishers, as well […]
I was talking to Insight Edition's Tim Pilcher at London's Book Fair, in an article I've been asked to write, and he made one hell of a point about the state of comics and the comic book industry right now. And to be fair, Tim has been around for a while, at Touchstone, DC Vertigo […]

I was distraught to share the news of Sam Kieth's passing on Bleeding Cool over the weekend. I have been rereading the most recent republication of The Maxx from IDW, also heartened to share the love and experiences creators and publishers had with him over the decades, or just their appreciation of his work. More […]
Yesterday, I had the gut-wrenching duty to inform the comic book community of Sam Kieth's passing a week ago, at the age of 63. A long, rich and varied career from the indiest to the most mainstream of comics without creative compromise, creating characters and stories that will live for centuries, and influencing so, so […]
Tonight, it is my sad duty to confirm the death of legendary comic book creator Sam Kieth, creator of The Maxx, at the age of 63. Sam died on the 15th of March, after suffering from Lewy Body Dementia, a degenerative disease described as a combination of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. He is survived by his […]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird was a direct parody of Frank Miller's Daredevil and Ronin. And now, forty years later, for TMNT #300 in July, Miller is finally drawing a cover for the comic. "More than 40 years ago, the brilliant duo of Eastman and Laird co-created the Teenage Mutant […]
IDW Publishing's June 2026 solicits and solicitations lead with new imprint IDW Crime and Killer Influences #1, a razor-sharp serial-killer satire from Eisner nominee Joey Esposito and Valeria Burzo, where an efficient murderer teams up with an ambitious true-crime influencer in a pact destined to make them infamous and destroy them both. Then plenty of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Godzilla, […]
UPDATE: IDW representatives have told me: "Our creative spend is effectively flat year over year ($572K vs. $578K), while revenue from those same projects increased by roughly $230K. That means we're generating more sales from the same level of investment – not reducing compensation to creators. In fact, it reflects the stronger performance of the […]
Hayden Sherman simply posted to Instagram with the top corner of a Bristol board for the #1 issue of a new comic. No other details were given, they just said "Something new coming soon #dccomics" What it is, we have no idea… Absolute, DC Next Level, Black Label, Vertigo, so many questions. Indeed, it could […]
Farewell! Farewell! The London Book Fair 2026 on yesterday, today and tomorrow, will be the final show at Hammersmith/Kensington Olympia, also home to Toy Fair and the London Film and Comic Con.
