Please stop. If you care about this industry, these characters, and the people who make these comics– let storytellers do their job and TRY to deliver surprises once in a while DURING the stories they're telling. I don't care if other sites get these images out Or if there are other places on the web where people[...]

And Hart Fisher has a bone to pick. Again. He tells Bloody Disgusting, Gerard Way is a liar and a fake who devalued Boneyard Press products and implied I was a liar by his deceits and instead of owning up to his deceptions he kept on lying and set his fans loose on me for an online hate[...]

The conclusion feels unimportant, though – it's the slow build-up to the very last page that makes the story unforgettable and Ravanayan a complex and many layered narrative force to be reckoned with. A writer with a soft spot for comics, Sreejita quit her job for the love of comics And when she realized that she[...]

Georges Jeanty, fresh from extensive duties on the Buffy comics, does great work here too matching characters' postures and mannerisms rather than their faces The result is a book that's never enslaved by likenesses but captures the essence of the characters and the show perfectly It's really smart work and meshes perfectly with Laura Martin's[...]
