By Dylan Gonzalez Beer: Judgement Day Brewery: The Lost Abbey Ashes cloud the sky.  The cloven hooves of horses fill the air.  Screams of the fallen ring out.  Judgement Day has befallen us.  Luckily, none of that happened when I tried out The Lost Abbey's beer, a Belgian triple brewed with raisins. Judgement Day was a very dark brown,[...]

Here is a scene from the upcoming comic Brainstorm, drawn by Dennis Calero. And this is Idris Elba in Pacific Rim, with a quick Google Imges search... In

Rather than another idealized mythic hero he is just a guy to whom much was given and much is asked of and that sort of grounded reality is valuable because it is hard to come by in the emotionally sub-normal realm of mainstream superhero-driven comics. In Grayson, the former boy wonder is taking off the mask[...]

Here is preview art from the new D&D Player's Handbook. And the character Violet from the ongoing Image Comics series Rat Queens. Considering how… liberally Rat Queens has borrowed its imagery, it's entertaining when someone tries to borrow it back!

And when I have a chance to talk about the industry of comics, I jump at it. Now I write for Zenescope along with quite a few other publishers and one of the questions I get has to do with variant covers Those readers who have been around a while all become a bit twitchy when[...]

Entertainment Weekly has a six page preview of Scott Snyder and Jock's Wytches from Image Comics, out in October. And now, so do we. Shhh, don't tell anyone. And Scott Snyder gives a little introduction to the series too… The Oxford English Dictionary defines a witch as a woman with magic powers And admit it, I say "witch" and[...]

Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire!
