All-Star was a DC Comics imprint intended to publish definitive non-continuity new reader friendly takes on DC Comics characters from some of the finest talents in the industry. All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely led the pack. Followed by the still incomplete All-Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder by Frank Miller and Jim[...]

Today's launch of Bizarro #1 features a variant cover by Kyle Baker. But surprisingly, it also featured a page guest drawn by the legendary Bill

All the DC Comics today have a double page half-size ad for Twix featuring a guy I've never heard of (and a Google search ensuring I never want to) with the comic book story on the same page. It is a strange experience in a number of books, especially Lobo #7 with the clash between the[...]

DC Shared Movie Universe Wow, now those are some pretty bold words to bandy about. Of course we all want to see shared universes on screen, crossovers are to us Comic Book lovers what compliments are to Kanye West, we already have them in our head but we want you to lay them out there as much[...]

I wonder if they noticed it didn't work last time, either… Fox's adaptation[...]

Just the plain old ordinary comic book collections you could have picked up in your comic shop over the last few years that are, for some reason, out of print and are now burning a hole in your bookshelf… Some recent eBay sales, spurred in part by the current Secret Wars crossover, the upcoming Infinity Gauntlet[...]

There were plenty of folk to look at, in that final page of the Justice League United short story this week. We already talked about Captain Carrot and

Looks like Chris Burnham got his DC comp copies of upcoming titles, including those ads running on the same page as the comic books that we'd talked about. And appropriately enough they're for Twix… Though Burnham is more concerned with the ad quallity rather than the placement and media buying… TO BE CLEAR, I'm more concerned about shitty[...]

The conservative media pressure group One Million Moms has just launched a campaign to persuade Fox TV to drop their upcoming TV series, based on the DC Comic book, Lucifer.
