Now Oni Press Gets A New Logo
DC Comics, Devils Due and now Oni Press. This is what it used to be. I guess why say the name of your company one time when you can say it three times, including some wordplay? Also, I hope that's meant to be a face, as opposed to a shark eating a doughnut while jumping over someone's genitalia. Courtesy[...]

Siike Donnelly's Collage Of DC Comics Charity Contributions
My doctor saved my life, but receiving DC Comics while I was recovering is what kept me fighting. Surviving a brain aneurysm comes with a lot more daily obstacles, so I look for things like this to fill my free time. Sometimes my days include seizures, physical therapy, migraines on a whole new level, and much worse[...]
Markosia To Publish My Favourite Comic
At a time when I was moving away from superhero comics, reading Sandman, Cerebus, Love And Rockets, Hate and Naughty Bits, this seemed to fit right in. The book ran a prequel, Tales From Sleaze Castle before the series relaunched as plain old Sleaze Castle with Terry Wiley writing, over strain between the pair.  The spinoff[...]

Justice League #5 – An Arms Race  (SPOILERS)
What's happening to people's arms in comics right now? In Static Shock, the lead character loses a limb, though because he's all electromagnetic and that, it was reversible somehow Then Buffy looks like she gets hers chopped off in her Dark Horse comic, according to covers and coverage released, with no sign that she may[...]
The Return Of Dave Elliott's Monster Massacre
Considering the pedigree of those involved with previous volumes, this should be one to look out for. Probably from Image Comics… Monster Massacre was an A1 Atomeka publication from Dave Elliott and Gary Leach in the nineties, featuring work from Simon Bisley, Dougie Braithwaite, Simon Furman, Dave Gibbons, James O'Barr, Kevin O'Neill, Peter Snejbjerg and more,[...]
Everything's Coming Up Celestial At Marvel (SPOILERS)

Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series

This could change if Joe Madueira gets his way[...]
So What Would Happen If You Dropped Aquaman In The Desert?
"What would happen if you dropped Aquaman in the middle of the desert?" I didn't expect DC Comics to answer me quite so literally. This is a preview of Aquaman #5 courtesy of Wired, out from DC Comics tomorrow, by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. That was the conversation I found myself in[...]
PREVIEW: Grace Randolph And Russell Dauterman's Supurbia
She's written for Marvel's Her-Oes and for Boom's Muppet comics, but I was most looking forward to Supurbia, her own superheroes-as-desperate-housewives comic All superhero fiction is about power fantasy, and targetting the suburban family as a way to find people trapped and powerless in the lives they have built for themselves seemed rich with possibility. Then[...]
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
He's done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it's only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright ideas. I[...]
Marcus Johnson And The Injury To Eye Motif

Keep Your Pants On: Don't Go Changin' To Try And Please Geeks
Along with my passion for games, comics, movies, and learning new coding languages I am also into pin up modeling, rock climbing, cycling and other, physical activities that involve adrenaline rushes.
