Based on DC iconic characters, this is basically a second chance to kill off the DC Comics Universe Consider it retaliation for Multiversity. Either way, what will this universe's Hyperion think of it all… Now where is Captain Britain???   UPDATE: Marvel's latest teaser for Axis… It's all the same thing now really. Now, where were we?[...]
The Power And Posters Of Protest
This hasn't got a lot to do with comics. Okay, maybe a bit. But a short video about the history of the protest poster, from the Suffragettes to the present day, including all sorts of interesting design elements might provide some insight into the work we re more familiar with. And might make for a decent cover in[...]
The Invisible Wonder Woman
There has been plenty of commentary showing how licensing and merchandising for Guardians Of The Galaxy has managed to remove Gamora and Nebula in order
Terry Dodson's Red Widow Changes Its Name To Red Skin. And Shows Off Lots Of It.
This was Terry Dodson's original cover to the French graphic novel series he's drawing, Red Widow. At the tie we thought that was just a leeeetle close to Marvel Comics' Black Widow, including the spider design Well, it seems, so do international lawyers Which is why the comic has been retitled Red Skin and the cover[...]

Invaders And Secret Avengers On Notice, Storm and Nightcrawler Get Renewed?
I understand that Marvel have informed the editorial and creative teams that both the Invaders and Secret Avengers comics are on notice for cancellation and will survive on an issue-to-issue basis. So if you like the books, now is the time to start evangelising on their behalf. We'd previously reported, later confirmed, that Mighty Avengers would be[...]
Advance Review: Roche Limit #1 From Image, Plus Preview
When Bekkah Hudson goes missing, the search to find her will plunge her sister and a cadre of the colony's underworld figures into an odyssey that reveals a grim future for mankind.

All-New Ghost Rider To Join All-New Ultimates In Cancellation With #12?
His decision to leave the title to work on his Luther Strode books at Image Comics may have been what sadly doomed the very distinctive looking Marvel comic… The current November solicitations for All-New Ultimates do seem to suggest that the three issues in November, December and January will be that title's last, taking it[...]

Look Everyone, The City Of London Is Getting A Mega-City Block
Although the Endless City version. The design from SURE Architecture won the  SkyScrapers and SuperSkyScrapers Competition and is intended to save space in dense cities by building up. And I must confess that the look of this thing… …is certainly a little prettier than the film version. But pretty much up there with how the comics developed them. A spot in[...]
