Earlier today, DC Comics, for better or for worse, changed the landscape of comics forever by revealing Batman's penis in Batman: Damned #1 But bold, trendsetting moves like this are often measured, excuse the pun, not by the size of the boat, but by the motion of the ocean, by which we mean the impact[...]

In a change form SDCC, it looks like they are also announcing their store shared exclusives at the same time, so everyone has plenty of time to plan. This first wave is all DC related, with another chrome Batman, another chrome three-pack, a first appearance Pop (those have all been awesome), and more, including two new[...]

Our access to historical data, and the tools we have available to analyse that data, have improved by leaps and bounds in recent times.   I was ordered by a UK government official recently to resume my Marvel Declassified series with all due haste, for example.  I'm not sure what jurisdictional authority they have in this[...]

The Batman impressions are back, and the team bonds and buries past grudges I like this close-knit team, and more team books could take notes from that approach.

Batman: Kings of Fear #1 cover by Kelley Jones and Michelle Madsen 3 Batman: Kings of Fear #1 This is the borderline. Batman: Kings of Fear #1 was genuinely not bad either, but it was almost painfully conventional. Kelley Jones' art was fantastic, but[...]
