In another reveal from Marvel about their upcoming Legacy initiative, we see Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man will see the hero behind bars!

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1 is an easily recommendable book — it feels like a back-to-basics Spider-Man story.

From the DC Rebirth onwards, culminating in November's Doomsday Clock, Superman will meet Dr Manhattan. Dr Manhattan, created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons for the creator-owned comic Watchmen, that all of a sudden wasn't creator-owned when it started making serious money for DC Comics, spent much of his time naked, blue penis swinging in the breeze. Sorry, I[...]

In a new variant cover for Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1, on which he serves as the writer, Chip Zdarsky will teach readers how to draw the web-slinging hero in six-easy steps…if only he can just get it right. In typical Zdarsky fashion, humour wins through as he satirises what is perhaps the most frustrating[...]

Not because it's left hanging; despite what is apparently not the original plans of the creative team, they manage to wrap up pretty much every thread in this series in a nice bow in this issue, giving the series a fitting end, with the few remaining seemingly to be cleared up in an annual later[...]

The final cover is again Star-Lord stood before a starry night, but this time a more realistic representation of the night sky. Consider one of the major themes of this now complete run by Anka, Chip Zdarsky and Matt Wilson: growth – in particular, the growth of Peter Quill as a person. In the first issue cover,[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran the news that yet another young series from Marvel is getting the chop, this time the current run of Nova, featuring both iterations of the character, by Jeff Loveness and Ramon Pérez with Ian Herring. Hot off the heels of the cancellation of Star-Lord, by Chip Zdarsky, Kris Anka and Matt Wilson, with[...]

There are also a significant number of graphic novels, both original and collected editions, included in the many book challenges, including Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals, Drama by Raina Telgemeir and This One Summer by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=209&v=O19TVmXWcyIVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Top Ten Challenged Books of 2016 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=209&v=O19TVmXWcyI) As[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover by Kris Anka It's kinda interesting that I wound up getting to this review this weekend after everything that's been going on with Marvel's comments coming out of their Retailer Summit, and also a discussion earlier in the week on how rotating artists has the effect of diminishing the importance of an artist in[...]

Of course, much of the #AceAroJugheadorBust controversy is stemming from the comics, as Chip Zdarsky is leaving and Mark Waid comes in, and fears that Jughead's sexuality will be changed there…which would be an example of hiding or removing the characters sexuality as that would be the same continuity. The TV show…isn't[...]

One things leads to another and the Sabrina Burger asks Jughead to hang out. Chip Zdarsky, Ryan North and Derek Charm are a winning team They capture the spirit of Jughead in a fresh new way What I sincerely love about the new Jughead is how passionate he is about food, and how awkward he[...]

Perhaps ask Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky what the plan is for Sex Criminals, because they are taking their sweet ass time getting it to us, but they don't half deliver hard. For this review what I listened to varied, whilst reading for the first time it was the sweet sounds of silence, but during the[...]

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man will be written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Adam Kubert, and will take Peter Parker "back to basics," according to the announcement on Entertainment Weekly If "back to basics" sounds  bit like "meat and potatoes," then you're a very keen observer Bleeding Cool has been reporting on Marvel's plans[...]

However, that was not to be, and he still had to do the job. Art by Erica Henderson Jughead was only fairly recently confirmed as asexual in the Jughead series, written by Chip Zdarsky who believes the character has always really been asexual in his 75 year history, but that we've only recently come to have the words[...]

How many creators can he get to sign it, pretending to be Chip Zdarsky? Wow, signed by THE CHIP @zdarsky #TBF16 #1000chips pic.twitter.com/zcRp4NdPtI — Glenn Foley (@Glennandpaper) November 5, 2016 Wow, signed by THE CHIP @zdarsky #TBF16 #1000chips pic.twitter.com/KXVilk1bHY — Glenn Foley (@Glennandpaper) November 5, 2016 Wow, signed by THE CHIP @zdarsky #TBF16 #1000chips (@emibot) pic.twitter.com/euZBzAG9eu — Glenn Foley (@Glennandpaper) November[...]

Art by Faith Erin Hicks for the All-New All-Different Avengers Annual #1 All-New All-Different Avengers Annual #1 was solicited as written by G Willow Wilson, Mark Waid, Faith Erin Hicks and more. And drawn by Mahmud Asrar, Veronica Fish, Faith Erin Hicks… and more. Well, now we know who the "and more" is. The comic book, featuring the fiction-within-a-fiction[...]

A rather entertaining conversation appeared between Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky on the Milkfed Mailing List the other week that I've been encouraged to share. With Matt asking, you described KAPTARA before the launch as "a gay HE-MAN" which is literally my favorite piece of writing of the last calendar year where'd that come from? not the phrase,[...]

No reason other folk might not throw their hat into the ring. Such as Gary Whitta, writer of Book Of Eli, After Earth and Star Wars: Rogue One. PUT ME IN, COACH https://t.co/cCC3yFGiHL — Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) December 11, 2015 Or Chip Zdarsky, who is… Chip Zarsky. https://twitter.com/zdarsky/status/675136909987946496 While Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Adventure Time comics writer Ryan North gets very specific. Here's[...]

A Chip Zdarsky Jaxx Spotlight variant of Star Wars: Vader Down #1 that is limited to 1 in every 4999 copies ordered by a store Stores have to order 5000 copies to get one. And it is now on sale on eBay for a starting price of $4999.99 and a Buy It Now price of $9999.99. There are[...]

When Chip Zdarsky won a Harvey Award at Baltimore Comic-Con, the Harvey Special Award for Humor for his work on Sex Criminals, he turned it down because it didn't recognise the work of the book's writer, Matt Fraction. Tomorrow's issue of Sex Criminals celebrates this award, and act, by taking Matt Fraction's name off the cover entirely. Don't[...]

Myself and others stood in the back row against the wall, just to be a part of the panel.  Alex Segura (editor) moderated the panel that included Mike Pellerito (president of Archie comics), John Goldwater (CEO/Publisher), Chip Zdarsky (Jughead, writer), Erica Henderson (Jughead, artist), Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Archie Afterlife, writer), Dan Parent (Kevin Keller, writer), Victor[...]

Image Comics have announced the winners of the #BrimperSketch contest, taking the second printing of Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals #11 and transforming it…. "Rainbow Faces" took first place in the contest with "Buscemi Faces" in second place and "Brimpception Redux" in third. "RAINBOW FACES is the winner!" Zdarsky declared "It subverts your expectations around 'faces'[...]

Both bagged, one hid a 1:35 sketch by the creators, Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, the other, a secret cover by Bryan O'Malley. This Sex Criminals #11 sketch cover by Fraction, has sold for $150 NSFW obviously. Another equally NSFW sketch from Matt has sold for $145. While this more tasteful smooth bum by Zdarsky sold for $140[...]

The anarchism of Chip Zdarsky is alive and well in this panel. Chip starts at the beginning, talking how he liked comics and he liked to draw, but school ruined any hopes of making money doing it after getting a C- in art….he has since been back to that school to lecture about art. He joked about[...]

But now, it appears, it's in official continuity, if Howard The Duck writer Chip Zdarsky is to be believed. Interviewed by Brian Bendis almost ten years ago for Wizard Magazine about something that happened over ten years before that, Tom Brevoort talked about the Marvel Team-Up issue that he hired Steve Gerber that had an "unofficial" crossover with a Savage[...]

There may be no more exclusive retailer variant covers for Sex Criminals, by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky But there are plenty of other imaginative promotional options available to the pair. Such as printing 1,000 copies of the 35,000 print run of Sex Criminals #11 as blankish sketch covers and spending the day drawing genitalia and[...]

By Jason Karlson It's safe to assume that like a lot of folks I was equally intrigued and excited when Chip Zdarsky, already writing Howard the Duck for Marvel, announced he would be writing another series of his own creation, Kaptara, co-created with artists Kagan McLeod. Billed as "gay Saga" and boasting an outlandish setting and wild[...]

On the back of relaunching Archie #1 with Mark Waid and Fiona Staples, Archie Comics is relaunching the rest of their line from A-list creators.

Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida, writes: Hey Fandom, I'm back with more New Comics Now! My favorite book of the week is Image's Kaptara

By William Wright Chip Zdarsky and artist Kagan McLeod will be launching their new Image series Kaptara at Big Big Comics in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on Wednesday April 22nd Zdarksy and McLeod will be on hand from 10:00am until 5:00pm to sign copies of the first issue, do sketches, and other random acts of awesomeness for[...]
