The outpouring of sentiments on social media included both eulogies specific to those who passed away today, as well as a general feeling that 2016 has been a singularly terrible year when it comes to untimely celebrity deaths.On the side everyone being ready to say goodbye to 2016, one that was really too ironically perfect: George[...]
TL;DR: In Collateral Beauty, Will Smith as Howard Inlet is a father whose daughter has passed away and has retreated in on himself – shutting out his friends, his job, and the world at large. As a catharsis he writes letters addressed simply to Death, Love, and Time as those concepts who have most wronged him in having […]
A number of Romani comic book fans, concerned regarding the general representation of Romani character in mainstream superhero comic books have organised to ask questions about this topic at a number of diversity-related panels at comic shows over the last couple of years. And no one seemed to really care. Concerns were dismissed or placated and […]

As shown off at New York Comic Con, Justin Jordan has a new comic book looking for a home. The Family Trade in ashcan form, written with Nikki Ryan, painted by Morgan Beem and lettered by Rachel Autumn Deering. We got a rather attractive piece of gothic fantasy storytelling. With a strong central character, Jessa Wynn, […]
by Jason Borelli On Thursday, I interviewed Kristen Cumings, an artist who had done a portrait of Wonder Woman, and would spend her New York Comic Con covering it in jelly beans at the Jelly Belly booth. This is how it looked on Friday. Saturday was a hectic day for me, so I didn't check […]
By Joe Glass One final surprise of NYCC I only personally discovered on the very last day. Whilst tabling at the LGBT HQ booth, a young man approached and asked me if I knew where the Scruff booth was. "Scruff? Like, the dating app?" "Well, yeah." I had to say, I was surprised to hear […]
We ran a piece by Derek Trum on this during NYCC. How attendees of the Young Animal panel got a free Gerard Way original recording, Into The Cave, on cassette to launch his co-written Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye. The first issue hits stores this week, and all stores should be getting one copy of […]
Paul Gullas writes, The following contains some minor spoilers for the series premiere of 24: Legacy. "SHOOT HIM AGAIN!" On Saturday afternoon, the NYCC Main Stage auditorium filled with cheers and bloodthirsty hoots of delight, as the audience watched a terrorist getting pumped full of bullets. The 24: Legacy panel kicked off with a special […]
By Octavio Karbank Ever since I was a child, I've had a fascination with giant monsters and giant monster movies. With so many made, there's sure to be something for every Kaiju-lover. For me, it was Godzilla. That's why I was ecstatic when IDW started putting out Godzilla-themed comics. From Godzilla: Rulers of Earth to […]
By Octavio Karbank If you're like me, and are either a fan of comics or Power Rangers, then it probably comes as no surprise that I'm reading, and every much excited, about the current Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers comics line by Boom! Studios. I can only hope you are too. They are really good. Seriously. […]
By Octavio Karbank Sleepy Hollow has been absent from our lives now for quite some time. Well, that might not be entirely true, but it's certainly felt that way. With the sudden and dramatic changes at the season of Season 3, many have wondered how, if at all, the show would come back to being […]
By Jason Borelli Among the many, many books debuting at New York Comic Con this year was The Electric Sublime from IDW Publishing. Con-goers got a chance to get an advance look at the collaboration from W. Maxwell Prince (Judas: The Last Days) and Martin Marazzo (The Great Pacific, Snowfall, Nighthawk) before it hit comic […]
by Jason Borelli On the surface, the manga Assassination Classroom seems offbeat, even for Japan. A class consisting of hard-luck cases are looked down upon by other students and their principal, who encourages the scorn. This class has a new teacher: a creature with a huge head, smiley face and tentacle body. He destroyed most […]
by Jason Borelli Titan Publishing has wasted little time in establishing their licensed Doctor Who comics. In addition to publishing books covering the modern era of the show (as portrayed by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi), miniseries have also been released for past incarnations played by Tom Baker and Paul McGann. […]
By Ale Bodden As it is my tradition every convention I go: I have to go to the Sailor Moon panel. Once again, this year the panel hosted by the wonderful and gliter-rific Charlene Ingram. She was joined shortly by her magical helper, Sailor Moon herself (who you might have seen working the Viz Media […]
By Ale Bodden Of all the panels I was able to sit through this year I must say this was the panel I ended NYCC still thinking about. It was short and sweet, and it hit right in the feels. However, all I can think about is designing my cosplay for the next convention I […]
by Ray Flook When I signed-up to cover #BlackComicsMonth: Diversity/Inclusivity in Comics at this year's New York Comic Con (NYCC), I was going into it with the hope that the panel would do its part in being the final piece I needed to stitch together a post I've had rumbling around in my head […]
When Greg Capullo left Batman to work with Mark Millar on the new Image comic book (soon to be novel) Reborn, it was promised he would return to work with Scott Snyder on Batman again – specifically on Snyder's title All-Star Batman. Well, it might be a bit bigger than that. Talking to Newsarama at […]
