DC Comics has proclaimed July 23 Batman Day, but it looks like Superman is about to steal just a little bit of that spotlight, at least as far as vintage comic book collectors are concerned  Because 76 years after publication, Action Comics #1 can still make news  That comic, featuring the first appearance of Superman[...]

There were some strong rumors that at least a couple of those would be announced last year at San Diego along with Batman v Superman, MoS 2 is a no-brainer in that they are already heavily invested in the franchise, and Dwayne Johnson has just all but said that they are about to announce Shazam[...]

Anthony Marques is the assistant editor on the Superman books at DC Comics For another month. I understand he resigned at DC Comics this week, to work for Dark Horse Comics.

Result? Marketshare. But also in a month that dropped around 2-3% on May's comics sales – and both were four week months.

Yesterday, DC Comics filed to register the Superman 'S' symbol as a trademark for belt buckles. It looks as if someone might have been going through their trademark on the symbol in recent days for… some unknown reason… and found it it was lacking in their paperwork. But not only that, it's also filed paperwork to register[...]

Recently we noticed that between preview…. … and publication…. …C comics managed to edit out the red trunks from the Superman image on a newspaper front page.   Superman's classic red trunks, his underwear on top of his trousers as some see it as, were originally modelled on the shorts worn over tights in wrestling exhibition matches in the[...]

Just within the 48 hours timeframe that comics legal and media Tony Panaccio recommended (and Tony will be writing an update for later today), DC Entertainment have reversed their decision not to allow the Superman 'S' symbol to be used on a memorial to an abused Canadian child, Jerry Baldwin.

A while ago we reported on the preview for today's Superman #32 by Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr… And how there was a newspaper front page that revealed a Superman in the red trunks We asked "have the DC spods got enough time to amend it before the final issue is published next month? Or[...]

One could certainly try, but I suspect if a banana showed up to a movie premiere or a major press event asking to get a word with one of the stars they would probably get laughed at much less enjoy an engaging discussion with a legendary artist like Tim Sale (Daredevil: Yellow, Superman for All[...]
