Paul Pope's 1999 Escapo is getting new life from Z2 Comics. Gritty, poetic and fast-paced, ESCAPO follows the adventures of a circus escape artist who struggles to evade Death itself – and the equally powerful grip of unrequited love. This time the book will be published in full-color (by Shay Plummer) and include 50+ pages of bonus content[...]

A recent post on complaints over quality of the paper and printing production methods on Marvel's Infinity hardcover have seem to spread since publication. One retailer sent in a look at how new Marvel comics are looking to him, from his shipment of Black Widow #1. But Kris Shaw must take the biscuit for his coverage of[...]

How will that affect digital comics? Well, digital comic distributors are exceedingly stingy about information regarding sales numbers So the only way you can tell what's what is when a company goes under. Such as Diamond Digital, the digital comic distribution line from Diamond Comic Distributors which exclusively distributed digital comics through comic book stores, as a[...]

The massive two floors of show space were impressive, however, for someone of my comics and pop culture ilk, the events held by companies and a fairly specific area of the show floor were much more relevant than otherwise vast spaces committed to new cuddly toys or puzzles and games, or even sports equipment Video[...]

Last year, there were quite a few events all over the world in celebration of Will Eisner Week at the beginning of March, but that doesn't hold a candle to how many events are being planned this year to honor Eisner's legacy and educate about the comics medium. Originally organized in 2009 by The Will &[...]

It is one of my favourite time travel stories. Indeed, for me, it reinvented the idea of time travel in the same way that Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and, later, Steve Moffat's Continuity Errors would do. And what Frank Miller created, and Walt Simonson so wonderfully executed was a very entertainingly visual way of showing the[...]

This week we have the launch of Pariah, King Conan Conqueror, Tomb Raider (from Gail Simone) and Vandroid, all from Dark Horse, the Lois Lane oneshot, the launch of Jonathan Ross and Ian Churchill's Revenge, One Hit Wonder, the relaunch of Fantastic Four, more Miracleman and, finally, Hawkeye #15. And the week following that, Veil #1[...]

I'm not sure exactly how that works… another with a crease in the spine sold for $676… and this seems a lot worse than that. Here's how it is described… According to the CGC census, over 1800 copies of THE WALKING DEAD #1 (1st print) have been graded as of 2/10/2014 and this is the only one[...]

Taken from Peter Serafinowicz' line in Guardians Of The Galaxy trailer , "what a bunch of A-holes" which has caused some controversy... I rather liked it

Mario Gully created a comic book Ant, ostensibly based on his young daughter, but freaking out a fair few people as some kind of sexually agressive

So Daredevil is relaunching. With the same creative team, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. For some reason. But the real change is location, New York at night

This is Adam Baldwin. Off of Firefly. He doesn't always wear the hat. Not related to the other Baldwins, he is a registered Democrat since 1980, but

non-comics reading) People in the audience might not understand half of it, especially the bits about alternate universes, but this didn't seem to matter and it was a DELIGHTFUL experience, which led to the rest of the set going pretty good too It was certainly the NICEST one of these comedy-type gigs I've done –[...]

Here's the life drawing class held at Orbital Comics, London, last week, with artist Jason Atomic and model Manko, creating scenes of pulp fiction to provide the necessary pulp friction…. The next session with Jason Atomic and Manko will take place alongside Orbital Comics' Satanic Mojo #2 exhibition on Friday May 23rd There's also a similar[...]

Do you like your science fiction stories short? Like really short? Like one page long? More like sci-fi pitches rather than stories... Well over on a

I analyzed backer rewards, created several, ran them by friends and trusted sources, and edited them down.  I decided that even though this project was a comic book and an album, we would list it under the Comics category of Kickstarter There are about one-tenth the amount of comic projects than music projects on Kickstarter,[...]

Isaac Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Comics, and his wife Laura Perlmutter gave NYU Langone Medical Center, of which they are trustees, a present last month But unimaginative as they are, they gave them cash. Fifty million dollars worth. Wikipedia tells me that the NYU Langone Medical Center comprises the NYU School of Medicine and three hospitals: Tisch[...]

My own passion veers into childhood nostalgia, and any product, even based on current comics or other media, that manages to hit a certain aesthetic sweet spot Sometimes, it evokes the "hand candy" feeling of a toy that was a joy to hold, and pose, as a child Others channel the look of some comic[...]
