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[...]

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Volume 3 (DC Comics, $14.99) By Graig Kent A recent article on this very site by my colleague Adam X explored the idea of nostalgia and how it shapes art and pop culture, as well as how it is used to attract an audience.  He[...]

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[...]

Price: 2.99 Written by: Keith Giffen, Dan Didio Art by: Scott Koblish, Keith Giffen Cover by: Scott Koblish, Keith Giffen Variant cover by: Howard Porter Four of the best students from New Genesis arrive on Earth to study and aid in the advancement of humanity – but they soon discover a darker purpose to their mission: a threat so great[...]

A few days ago, Bleeding Cool reprinted a tweet that seemed to suggest Dan DiDio were bringing back a cult classic comic. The smart folk told us to think

Yesterday, Dan DiDio tweeted in response to a comment by Nathan Fairburn, about his plans for an upcoming comic book. @MDesaad @nathanfairbairn @DocShaner

DeMatteis and Keith Giffen's way of throwing us into the fray, in hopes of whetting our appetites. The third issue, on digital and real-life stands this week, does little to dissuade me from my above notion I'll get to that later First… The Good: Readers aren't kept as out of the loop, thankfully, with events unfolding a[...]

By Abdulkareem Baba Aminu J.M DeMatteis is a comic book writer famous for many things, including the classic 'Kraven's Last Hunt' storyline that ran on all the Spider-Man titles of those days, stellar Justice League work with constant collaborator (or partner-in-crime, really) Keith Giffen, with whom he's co-writing Justice League 3000 for DC, among lots of[...]

DC COMICS— THE NEW 52: FUTURE'S END FCBD SPECIAL EDITION Writers: Brian Azzarello, Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens Artist: Ethan Van Sciver Cover: Ryan Sook Jump on board DC Comics' epic weekly series beginning with this all-new FCBD issue that features tomorrow's Dark Knight, Batman Beyond (making his first appearance in The New 52), battling[...]

It is it be written by Keith Giffen, Dan Jurgens, Brian Azzarello and Jeff Lemire after Greg Rucka and Brian Keene pulled out. It will feature characters from out of the current timeline such as the Batman of Batman Beyond. There is a comparison with the proposed-but-never-published Twilight Of The Superheroes crossover pitch by Alan Moore to[...]

But I now understand he was originally on board but then chose to leave the project along with writer Brian Keene, also part of the original planned team. Original writers Dan Jurgens, Keith Giffen and Jeff Lemire were then joined by Brian Azzarello No news on artists yet. And, as the creator stabbed their finger on the[...]

Kevin Maguire commented on the Bleeding Cool forums regarding the story earlier today that he had been replaced by Howard Porter on the first issue of

Compensated for drawing the first issue in full, DC had decided to go in another direction Today, Newsarama reported that series co-writer Keith Giffen told them, in a statement prepared by DC Comics; "The guy who nailed the character designs on the interior of the book? The guy who teamed with Grant Morrison to make JLA a[...]

Reinventing the Legion Of Superheroes in the model and manner of the Justice League Of America. Then we found out that it would be by the team who gave me the Justice League, Keith Giffen, JM DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire, the first ongoing DC comic I bought, and the series that introduced me to the scope[...]

This led to speculation that regular creative team of Keith Giffen and Pop Mhan were either fired or left the book In a statement on his Facebook page Mhan set the story straight. Peeps: relax I haven't been fired from He-man Issues 7-12 are a story arc from the fabulous Dan Abnett Truth be told, I'd love to[...]

I've been told that retailers at the DC Retailer Roadshow have been informed to expect a Justice League 3000 comic from Keith Giffen, JM DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire, replacing the Legion Of Superheroes books on DC's slate. We ran a story suggesting just this kind of thing a few months ago and have been following hints[...]

But that's probably just wishful thinking. When talking about his Larfleeze book to ComicBook.com, Keith Giffen answered the question Since you're working with Marc [DeMatteis] again, how long until we get a guest issue from Kevin Maguire? With this response; Probably never since he's working on another book with me and Marc I know that should be "Marc and[...]

Don't miss surprises galore in this landmark issue drawn by Kevin Maguire as the true nature of the Legion is questioned—and the future of the DCU is changed in a way you'll never expect! We reported Keith Giffen's decision to walk off the book two issues into what was to have been an extended run[...]

I also understand there is a new Keith Giffen project in the works. Aside from the already cancelled Captain Atom, Justice League International, Voodoo and Resurrection Man, the lowest selling titles are Grifter, DC Universe Presents, Blue Beetle and Fury Of Firestorm before you get to the still-surviving-into-2013 Savage Hawkman.  Four titles were chopped last time,[...]

For the fourth (I think) time. Originally spinning out of Dave's time at Quality Communications working on Warrior, he and Garry Leach created Atomeka, to publish A1, containing the creator owned work of Alan Moore, Garry Leach, Brian Bolland, Warren Ellis, Steve Pugh, Ted McKeever, Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, Phil Winslade and many more, in a[...]

Lobo co-creator, Roger Slifer, appears to have been the victim of a hit-and-run driver. Writer Flint Dille has posted (via Jim Salicrup); Okay, here's

This is the cover as solicited to Superman issue nine. This is the actual cover. And this is how the character looks now. A little less of the Girl With A

Bleeding Cool heard that the New DCU Zero issues in September, now confirmed by DC artists, may lead to some creative changes in their wake. Well here's a big one that may cause controversy in certain quarters. I understand that Scott Lobdell, the writer of Red Hood And The Outlaws, Teen Titans and Superboy is to add[...]

I possibly could have guessed from the cover. But I didn't. This month's issue of Superman, by Giffen and Jurgens, gives us the Wildstorm villain Helspont

More creator news fresh from NYCC on the DC Comics New 52 front: Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens are joining forces to take on SUPERMAN for DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 Jurgens will be writing the ongoing, modern-day adventures of the Man of Tomorrow, with Giffen illustrating.
