If you watch Swamp Thing on DC Universe and read the original Alan Moore comics, you knew all along where all of this was heading. The show was heading towards an adaptation of Moore's original 1984 story "The Anatomy Lesson" in Saga of the Swamp Thing #21. "The Anatomy Lesson" is one of the most […]
One of the new characters introduced in the CW Seed animated series Constantine: City of Demons is the comic book character Nightmare Nurse. I won't talk much about what the character does in the animated series other than how she makes her entrance, but if you want absolutely no spoilers, then move on to another […]
In the nineties, Garth Ennis and John McCrea, still relatively unknown comic book creators, has a run for a couple of years of DC's comic The Demon. Spinning out of that came Hitman, and Garth also got to do Hellblazer, and then Preacher. While Hitman was lately, belatedly collected in trade paperback form, all five […]
DC has put together a video showcasing all of the members of the Justice League… ever. Now I think I'm pretty up on my comic history, but there were some characters I didn't realize where Leaguers, like The Phantom Stranger, Dr. Light and Starfire. And they let Ambush Bug in. How did that happen? [youtube]https://youtu.be/GigZ5_dxlKU[/youtube]
Today sees every DC Comics New 52 title jump forward five years. Naturally there's a bit of middle age spread as every book costs $3.99. But what else? Well the Futures End series has already shown us that a war with Earth 2 took place, plenty of "refugees" ending up on Prime Earth as well […]

DC Comics has been publishing Trinity Of Sin: Pandora and Trinity Of Sin: Phantom Stranger for a little while now, (but no Trinity Of Sin: The Question) but they were recently cancelled by the publisher. DC have now told Newsarama that in October they'll be publishing Trinity Of Sin, a new series with all three characters, […]
Joining Batwing, Birds Of Prey and All Star Western on the scrapheap in August are Phantom Stranger, Pandora and Superboy… though most like Birds Of Prey, Phantom Stranger, Superboy, Pandora and Batwing have another 3D cover Futures End issue listed for September. Could they be due a relaunch? Or were they planned before the books […]
It's Wednesday, it's new comics day, which means it's time for 36 Thoughts About 36 Comics' traditionally fabourite way of opening its column. Some gratuitous male nudity. Courtesy of Woods #1 there. Any more for any more? Okay, that's painful. Thank you Rat Queens. And Suicide Risk #13 gives you some topless restaurant action. Seriously, […]
You know that time when you catch the subway but you forgot your wallet because you left it in your jacket at home along with all your other clothes, shoes and accoutrements? So does Veil. Also, how many of those men look just like Christopher Eccleston? But she's not the only one having subway trouble […]
Christmas and the New Year are behind us, the kids have just gone back to school, I really hope they have a better time there today than in today's X-Files comic… So I hear there's been a spot of weather on the East Coast of New York. Both in reality and in the Marvel Universe. […]
Like we said earlier today, everyone loves a drone. I'm starting to wonder why all the Iron Men suits still need to be man-shaped though. As subterfuge? To present a human face to mass destruction? Ego? Or maybe just so Superman won't just keep going through you? Oh Lois, what are you, a sitcom character? […]

From today's rather splendid Trinity Of Sin: The Phantom Stranger. Our mysterious supernatural fellow takes Batman, Katana and Deadman to Heaven. And we get, for the first time, the new rules of DC heaven. And they seem to be along the lines of the Savage Dragon. And along the way, they meet the late, nice, […]
Lucius Fox in Batwing lives in a house that is smarter than people. Which may be a bad thing for invaders, but not necessarily a good thing for the regular inhabitants when the lampshade fills in the crossword when you're not looking or decides to lock the fridge door because you're looking a bit […]
Two DC comic books, not their best sellers, but both with a certain level of invention that's rather entertaining. Phantom Stranger and Dial H. And today, giving us new characters to entertain and delight. Dial H is always bringing in new characters, it's the nature of the book, our hero constantly reinventing himself as something […]
Is it me, or has Wolverine been hanging around too much with Psylocke of late? Is that a Malcolm Tucker quote he's partially using in today's All New X-Men? Too much The Thick Of It boxset watching? Where does he find the time? I just hope that kind of language doesn't spread. Too late, Caspar […]
The Phantom Stranger is being renamed Trinity Of Sin: The Phantom Stranger. Now we have Trinity Of Sin: Pandora. Can Trinity Of Sin: The Question be far behind? After all, two Trinity books without a third does seem rather lacking… and there was a little bit of a potential tiny tease at the DC ECCC […]
