LCBS Spotlight: New England Comics

By | Oct 13, 2009 | Columns

This is a new feature I’d been meaning to implement for a while now, and with our site hits picking up, I believe it’s definitely time to bring it out! The single most important thing to any comic book nerd anywhere on the planet is his LCBS, or Local Comic Book Shop/Store. Without these, there […]

Indy Comic Book Week

By | Oct 13, 2009 | News

Much to the chagrin of comic book fans across the nation, the distributor of basically every mainstream comic out there announced that they are not going to be shipping comics on the last week of the year. That’s right – Diamond Comic Distributors are not going to be sending stores any new mainstream titles (besides […]

Planet Hulk Box Art

By | Oct 12, 2009 | News

Saw this on the interwebs and thought it was worth showing. Below is the box art for the upcoming Marvel animated film, Planet Hulk. The reason this is worth showing is because the box art was done by none other than Alex Ross, who I believe is one of the most talented men in the […]

2009 Harvey Award Winners

By | Oct 12, 2009 | News

This past weekend at the Baltimore Comic-Con, the Harvey Awards took place. The Harvey Awards are a comprehensive comic book awards ceremony, covering many different categories (as you will see after the jump) and doing something unique that arguably makes them better than the Eisner Awards: they’re entirely voted on by comic creators themselves. While […]

The Dangers Of Christopher Nolan’s Batman

By | Oct 11, 2009 | Columns

I have often stated, much to the annoyance of everyone around me, that I don’t think Christopher Nolan’s Batman films are all that great. Sure, they’re well acted and well written, but in contexts of the comic book source material, they’re highly inaccurate and put a veil over new reader’s eyes as to what Batman […]

Welcome to Emitown

By | Oct 10, 2009 | Columns

As a fan of comics, you’re quick to realize how new favorites come in the most surprising of places. Whether it’s bizarre quarterly books like Brahm Revel’s black and white ape Vietnam soldier epic Guerrillas, superimposed Final Fantasy sprite comedic powerhouse 8-bit Theater, or graphic novels you read about on blogs like Nick Abadzis’ Laika, […]

Smallville Review: "Rabid"

By | Oct 10, 2009 | Reviews

LOIS SMASH!!! Halloween must be coming up, because tonight seemed to be the Halloween episode. The Refugee Kryptonians have unleashed a plague that turns people in creatures similar to what happened in the movies 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. This airborne virus infects people and, while they’re sleeping (no Sandra Bullock jokes!), gestates […]

With Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ current collaboration Criminal restarting this week as the initial issue of their new arc The Sinners is being released, I could only think of one book to recommend this Friday: Sleeper. Sleeper was the second collaboration between Brubaker and Phillips and it was the first thing I ever read […]
