It was only the other week that John Constantine was bemoaning comic book continuity over in John Constantine: Hellblazer, written by Si Spurrier, in a way that looked as if he was talking directly to DC Comics publisher Dan DiDio. For Green Lantern: Blackstars #2, Grant Morrison said "It's my cruellest portrayal of Superman that […]

Earlier this week, Bleeding Cool looked at a reference in House Of X #5 that replayed a classic scene from Chris Claremont and Marc Silvestri's Uncanny X-Men from the eighties.

I've always been fond of Martin Eden's self-published comics. He began his superhero series The O Men back in the 1990s and finally completed the story in 2017. That's over 1,000 pages of a saga he wrote, drew and published on his own. In the course of all that time, he has created his own […]
