Ralph Tedesco, along with Joe Brusha, founded Zenescope Entertainment back in 2005 with the idea of doing dark revisions on the classic fairy tales of our

Now we discover that Ms Marvel #1 has one too, indicating a continuing market and desire for that first issue. What can we learn from this? Well, possibly that some retailers still order too conservatively, or that an audience previously resistant to female lead superheroes is coming around, or that publishers are starting to address the latent[...]

In Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, a comic store, Kowabunga Comics is closing as the store owner is retiring He writes, Word may have gotten around to you that I will be stepping away from the store at the end of June. This means one of two things for you 1.  There is a group of long time customers who are interested[...]

Some books that haven't even been announced yet… I don't want to steal their thunder though. So how about a peek at the second issue of the Joshua Hale Fialkov series The Devilers, a very cool Flash Gordon cover for issue five, a Solar: Man Of The Atom cover and a Tim Seeley piece from his[...]

Harley Quinn is DC Comics' biggest publishing event of the year (so far) Successful in Suicide Squad, she has spun out of that book into a rather eclectic title from Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and Chad Hardin  that's as different from the rest of the New 52 as Wonder Woman – just in the other direction. And the first[...]

But here we go. Here are the comics published within the last thirty-odd years that have been burning up the top of the charts and selling over $300 All raw copies, no slabbing here, no variant covers, no artificial collectibility, just the standard books that, if you have them in your collection, could pay your rent[...]

Now, Marvel Comics is exclusively distributed to bookstores by Amazon. ICV2 has spotted a number of affected Marvel books on Amazon and notes that while many Marvel titles are easily and quickly available, that Amazon are instigating delays on "fast-selling movie tie-ins" So, Captain America, Vol 1: Winter Soldier Ultimate Collection has a two to five week delay on orders. X-Men:[...]

And they want to tell you their stories. From the strange, nighttime experiences of a man deployed in Iraq to the story of a house haunted by a slightly mad old Jewish matriarch, from a chaplain's first experience performing an exorcism, to the history of spiritualism, to a ghost that seems to love LARPs, Then It[...]

http://meanwhilecomics.com I teach Vis Dev at Ringling College and my students have been producing some mind-blowing work.  It's a shame that more people aren't getting to see some of the fresh, cool ideas that are being generated in the classroom.  The Design Unscripted campaign is our way to show the world much of the work that[...]

It measures what are known as the "Wednesday Warriors", those who can't wait to the weekend to get this week's comics We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. And despite Marvel and DC launching the first issues of their big event comics, the fifth issue of Batman Eternal has topped them all,[...]

And then it took over as my main focus, along with illustrating comics In terms of style, I like to run the gambit from cutesy, such as the zombie cupcakes I make to compliment my comic book High Fructose Zombies, to more Sci-Fi / hardcore, such as the Korovan sculpt I did for Bigfoot[...]

With the revival of the Chaos! Comics line kicking off this week for Dynamite, Ande Parks chatted with series writer Tim Seeley about where the project is going But first Ande had a confession to make. ANDE PARKS: Okay… I have to open with a confession I have not read the Chaos characters before[...]

My main interest in comics started and ended with Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" That could either mean that I'm very devout; or that I really should be reading more But for the sake of argument, today we'll go with "devout" instead of "functionally illiterate". DEVOUT! Not that "Calvin and Hobbes" isn't a fantastic comic to look[...]

Here are the top fifty comics and graphic novels selling in North America through Diamond Comic Distributors' direct sales system… Note that Batman Eternal's four issues pushed Walking Dead's two issues out of the top ten, but there is already attrition from issues 1 to 4 And Southern Bastards #1 has launched into the top fifty…[...]

Sent to Bleeding Cool from Facebook... Batman: GCPD can be bought on Amazon... as can, well, individual issues of Batman: Gordon's Law - maybe worth a

How have critics (and comic book readers) compared it to the work of, say, Kevin Smith's re-imagining of Steve Austin in the Bionic Man comic book?  JK: We set out to make a 1970s television episode in comic book format.  For the most part I think we achieved that.  The way I measure success for this[...]

You have to try something new to get something new. I've been drawing comics since I was in high school, but I never drew them with any sort of concrete plan on how to get them to an audience When I first started attending conventions, I found that fanart vastly outsold the five original comics I[...]

I should share this on Tumblr." At the same time I also uploaded a drawing of my son wearing a tiger jacket sitting next to a tiger, as opposed to drawing my comics "A day well spent." The next day I checked my phone and found that I had 953 notes on my Tumblr "That is[...]

The instant sellout, instant aftermarket of Image Comics titles are back, as the publisher pauses on making launches returnable if retailers order lots (returning later this year with Outkast). As a result, retailers are returning to their conservative ordering policies Which is why, a week after publication, Southern Bastards #1 is now a twelve dollar book,[...]

Thanks to Manolis Vamvounis... Rise Like A Phoenix!

Reading this scene in this week's Miracleman #5, sealed inside a bag as we warned you about, I wondered how it was going to have to be neutered for the

Get sucked in to a setting that comics (or any medium, for that matter) have yet to explore Paintball is about imposing your will upon the world instead of living in somebody else's creation It's about getting your no-name friends together[...]
