Batman: The Animated Series is a pop-culture classic cartoon. It opens up the world for DC Animation and honestly, it's one of the strangest things from the outside of the comics. Marvel hasn't ever seemed to capture the essence that DC does with their animated films or shows. It's time to relive that classic animated Batman […]

Never a slouch in the promotional department, Valiant has been outdoing even themselves with a slew of tongue-in-cheek gimmicks in service of the publisher's forthcoming Quantum and Woody! series from writer Daniel Kibblesmith and artist Kano.

UPDATE: Further investigation has revealed that the reason these two covers have different numbers is not, as previously reported, because of a misprint.

Variant covers are a symptom of the plague destroying the comics industry, artificially inflating sales numbers and profits without increasing readers or quality of interior content, continuing the decadent trends of 90s-style excess that nearly bankrupted the industry once before, and putting money into the pockets of controversial retailer Dennis Barger Jr. through his eBay […]
