And here's the proof, if proof were needed. It also looks a bit like he nabbed Prometheus's helmet while he was at it... In Swipe File we present two or

At Bleeding Cool, we rather like the Kieron Gillen run on Journey Into Mystery. Going as far as to say it's one of the best ongoing MarvelU or DCU books

The self published, micro-distributed comic Sacrifice by Sam Humphries and Dalton Rose has suffered a number of delays of late.  But if we're not too sure when the next issue will be coming out, at least we know who will be putting out the collection. And, with Sam Humphries putting Our Love Is Real out through[...]

Wow, is it Friday morning already?  Today's most-read post is about DC trades and GNs: DC Comics are looking to reduced their stock of the following books by offering them to retailers at a massive discount What that means is that in a few weeks, these books will be plentiful at comic books stores[...]

The DC Comics blog published a list of upcoming hardcover and trade paperbacks well into 2013 Which is usually a sign that the info has been given out to book distributors, so it will come out soon anyway, and this was it comes out under a DC Comics headline Lots of collections of the things[...]

Shane Davis is the Earth One: Superman artist, but who now seems to pulled out from the series after the first two books (or at least significantly delayed the third) and instead is be working on something for Legendary Comics called Ascend. But I also understand that this is but a fraction of what is actually[...]

Here's a quick peek at the 1:100 variant cover for Archer & Armstrong by Barry Windsor Smith-contemporary, Neal Adams. It does seem to be kicking off,

A couple of days ago, Bleeding Cool pointed out how MarvelTVNews was posting fabricated information in order to attack Marvel, picked up by many other

At Bleeding Cool, we've been following the different types of digital comics that have been emerging. Those that use limited animation Those that use different layers, with limited special effects Those that let you tip the tablet to see different layers Those that show panels and test in separate actions to improve the impact of their[...]

I've been told that, while many DC Comics freelance writers have suffered rewrite upon rewrite, note after note, change after change, from the current editorial regime – leading some to leave the book they were working on – Grant Morrison MBE is among those who don't. He has his own get out of jail free card[...]

This week's Crossed: Wish You Were Here webcomic chapter has just gone live. And basically this is the only grouping  of panels I can show you without

A couple of years ago, JG Jones began writing a six issue story for his Doc Savage, with Phil Winslade on art, that started with issue 13. The comic was cancelled with issue 17, leaving a hanging "To Be Continued" tag… that was never picked up. Until now. Without fanfare, without announcement, almost hoping no one would notice,[...]

For the next four weeks, editors will have their choice of strips from Groening's extensive archive before they close up shop in July on Friday the 13, which seems oddly appropriate. "I've had great fun, in a Sisyphean kind of way, but the time has come to let Binky and Sheba and Bongo and Akbar and[...]

Here's a still from the Vibe teaser for the DC Shorts videos playing on DC Nation. And here is a fan image of Vibe that preceded it, mashing up the logo

Before Watchmen Nite Owl is scheduled, we get the second issue of the Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover, the launch of Idolized, the Spandex hardcover, and the second Spider-Men. The week after that, we have the first issue of Zak Penn's Hero Worship, the return of Sabretooth in Wolverine,  the unpublished Muppets book by Roger Langridge and[...]

It's a slippery slope to some good comics. Before Watchmen Comedian #1 may not be necessary for the Watchmen collection, but it sure helped me understand what happened with that JFK love triangle better! Wonder Woman #10 made her more like Jesus than I was picking up on before, sure she's the offspring of a god,[...]

Dave Sim writes; "A Public Plea:  I don't know how far this will go, but it's definitely a Prime Concern: If you know anyone with CEREBUS original artwork

If we're so drowned in the various minutiae of the comic book world (Oh my god, Daughtry did a sketch with Jim Lee) if there is any press about an artist or a new book, that news is going to get cycled out pretty quick. In pre-internet days of comics you only had so much to[...]

And so it begins. From Fruitless Pursuits, Before Watchmen: Minutemen rewritten...

You can also see which covers are more popular.  Apparently Frank Quitely's freaked out zombie granny is not what the people want. With all that activity, it's impressive to see Captain America #14 burst through, whih indicates there will be a second print there very shortly, as well as for Batman #11. Image's new Revival #1 also[...]

In November, one gay icon meets another, in Archie Comics. Kevin Keller #6 will co-star George Takei, best known as Lieutenant Sulu And it was at a comic convention that George met Kevin's creator Dan Parent and succumbed to Parent's request that the two meet in person George and Kevin, that is. Here's hoping Kevin's future husband[...]
