Looks like Midtown Comics are showing their allegiances to the publisher staying in New York City, with their new delivery van. (UPDATE: No they're staying neutral! I'm told from a reader "the other side of the Midtown truck has Batman and Superman on it An image of Wonder Woman is on the back gate, and Archie,[...]

The series is written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Chris Sebela and featuring the art of Ryan Sook. This character isn't a stranger to the world of comics, originally premiering in 1993 To be completely honest from the start, I'm not familiar with the character I feel that fact should be noted This is my first[...]

While you all were heading into your local comic shops on Wednesday, I was gritting my teeth with envy and staring down 15 hours of desolate highway on a road trip, but I can't just not read a few this week's releases at least, and there is such a thing as digital comics (you might[...]

Bleeding Cool understands that it has been announced, internally at Marvel, that senior editor Steve Wacker will be leaving the comics offices for California, to take a position with Marvel Animation. Headhunted by Marvel from DC Comics, where he edited the 52 weekly series, Steve Wacker did a similar job with the Spider-Man titles, making a[...]

Brendon Connelly already reported this on the film side of Bleeding Cool. But I know some of you don't go there, you prefer to stick in your comic book

Tomorrow is the day when DC Comics staff working in the New York offices at 1700 Broadway will have to make a decision about what they'll be doing in April 2015. That is when DC Comics will move lock, stock, to the offices in Burbank, where an office has been waiting for them, empty, for a[...]

It's always possible. There have been some whingers and moaners but a) it got on the Official Selection for Angouleme, which hasn't happened for a Marvel book for an age b) Matt Fraction has been busy writing Fantastic Four and FF writing Inhuman writing Sex Criminals and Satellite Sam and they're also really good comics and[...]

This is, like Watchmen, a work of transcendent art that can only exist in comics Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples' epic is Star Wars with a seedier side than Jabba imagined Galactic war, bounty hunters, and galactic whorehouses For everyone, but essential to the Star Wars nut in your life. Invincible vol 13: The Death[...]

The premises behind the book were bracing, unpeeling some of the layers we often see in comics dealing with mythological figures In Marvel's Thor, we have Asgardians, but in God is Dead, we have fully realized Norse deities out to conquer the world and crushing hapless mankind in the process Only there are also a[...]

Well, if it's good enough for DC Comics… Valiant is issuing a 3-D Motion Returnability Cover, for their best-selling Unity #1, drawn by Clayton Crain and animated by the valiant team, fraturing X-O Manowar, Ninjak, Eternal Warrior and the rest. It will be made available to retailers who supported the original sale of the comic[...]

Maybe a couple of decades ago, but now? It's being made available as a print-on-demand title through Amazon, but also Barnes & Noble and the like. It looks very much like a copyright/trademark/license-challenging work, given legitimacy by being sold through Amazon, that I'm sure both Marvel and DC lawyers might want to look into. Especially considering other[...]
