Working with his 2000AD/Judge Dredd partner, Alan Grant, they recreated the spandex-wearing neat-and-tidy intergalactic mercenary originally created by Keith Giffen by interpreting Lobo as the late Lemmy from Motorhead Long scraggly hair, overblown muscles, a wicked scowl, and a tongue too long for his face, the Simon Bisley version of the Last Czarnian was a world[...]

I'm not complaining mind you; it's always nice to see the Legion, especially since DC kicked them to the curb a few years back. They receive little dialogue, and it's a borderline Easter Egg in that you need to know who the Legion of Superheroes are in order to parcel out that many of the Legion[...]

This one was brought to us by Keith Giffen, Dan Didio, Mark Buckingham, and Chris Sotomayor. The artwork for the fight scenes especially invoke the Kirby style, with a lot of swinging of fists and crashing blows Buckingham and Sotomayor do a fantastic job of capturing the kinetic energy and impressive forms of the King himself. The[...]

Let them stick around. Keith Giffen's art remains well suited for the comic The rough-around-the-edges look fits the rough-and-ready method of Jaime and Ted's superheroing Romulo Fajardo Jr.'s color work is really good A lot of panels seem to glisten with the bright blues, oranges, and golds. It's disappointing to say it, but this was a very[...]

But who is in control — the Scarab or Jamie? This is a bloated and unwieldy mess of plot threats, but Keith Giffen and J.M DeMatteis kind of make it work for them It's ridiculous It's apocalyptic But it's kind of fun. They balance the characters well Arion is kind of a stereotypical, "People suck, so I[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] While both Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord Blue Beetles (never read anything with the actual original), Keith Giffen and Scott Kolins Blue Beetle was not a fun read initially One major turn-off to the book was the constant damn bickering between any two characters but especially between Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord themselves. Interior conflict[...]

One attempt to dig deeper in an unpublished Secret Origins installment of Robert Loren Fleming and Keith Giffen's satiric Ambush Bug (circa 1990, DC Comics)—a story satirizing the sad plight of DC Comics editors—got its editor promptly and unceremoniously fired Jack Kirby's savaging of his former Marvel creative partner and editor Stan Lee as "Funky Flashman" in the pages[...]

Written by DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio with Keith Giffen and Scott Koblish But not only did that aspect not stop the title from being cancelled, but it looks as if he won't even get to have a collection of the comics on his bookshelf. DC Comics has just informed retailers that the collection Infinity Man And[...]

DeMatteis and Keith Giffen, a time-displaced hero who landed in the future DC rebooted Ted as a young grad student for the New 52 in Geoff Johns' in-continuity Forever Evil miniseries earlier this year, but it's too early to tell whether this new version of the character will live up to the character's reputation as[...]

Secondly it's drawn by Howard Porter who is soooooo much better at his craft than in is Grant Morrison JLA run, totally reinventing himself from the

How did you form your professional relationship with DC? Brian Keene: Liz Gehrlein and Keith Giffen, who were editing and writing Doom Patrol at the time, respectively, asked me if I'd like to guest-write an issue I've been a fan of the team since discovering them as a kid in the late-70s, and I'd have killed[...]

My favourite incarnation, from before the New 52 relaunch. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, from the bwah-ha-ha-ha era of the Justice League, uncovered after being trapped in a cryonic chamber for a thousand years… Well, on the eve of DC Comics releasing solicitations for December-shipping titles, writer Keith Giffen told Newsarama, Keith Giffen: Yes! Booster Gold and Blue[...]

Kevin Maguire is probably best known for the period of time that he did the art for the J M Dematteis and Keith Giffen did the Justice League series The comic that made Blue Beetle and Booster Gold best friends, the comic that highlighted Martian Manhunter obsession with Oreos and where Batman took out Guy[...]

Family, job, pets, commitments, and the other copious forms of pop culture entertainment all compete for attention…I rarely read a single issue of any comic more than once at this stage, though I still bag'em up and box'em away for some later date when I think I may have the opportunity to get back to[...]

Justice League 3000 is a book by Keith Giffen, J.M DeMatteis and Howard Porter, featuring the parasitic clones of DC Comics' Justice League, a thousand years in the future. And very pretty it looks too. Since then, it has been limited to those central Justice Leaguers Even if the Flash is now female But more change is coming. Keith[...]

By Christopher Helton Dan Didio gets a lot of grief over the management side of his work at DC Comics, but I have enjoyed his comic writing work at the company, particularly the OMAC reboot that he did with artist and collaborator Keith Giffen This team is back and tackling another Jack Kirby creation: The Forever[...]

Glad you made it through unscathed. Working on the event as lead writers, I'm told, are Dan Jurgens, Keith Giffen and Brian Azzarello. And yes, they are all also working on the Futures End weekly series which comes to an end right about then Almost as if the two things are going to tie in… Maybe it'll be[...]

DeMatteis and Keith Giffen do an excellent job spinning this tale into something that went from a drain-circling eye roll to a fast-paced action movie The dialogue is a little clunky here and there, but if their intent is to paint Superman as a jerk and Batman as distrustful and inquisitive, they're doing fine Howard[...]
