LCBS Spotlight: Bosco’s Comics (Spenard)

By David Harper | Mar 9, 2010 | Columns

This is likely to be the one and only time I will put together and LCBS Spotlight, but I’d told Matt I would do it and do it I will. In Anchorage, Alaska, you don’t have a whole lot of options for comic purchases. In fact, there is really only one option: Bosco’s Comics, but […]

Hate Mail Vol. 1 Issue #01

By Joshua Mocle | Mar 8, 2010 | Columns

Wherein Our Hero Alienates 96% of His Audience Right Off the Bat Welcome to the very first edition of Multiversity Hate Mail. First, a little disclaimer: I don’t like conventional thinkers. At all…even a little bit. As sad as this is to admit, my experience has taught me that a LOT of the comic reading […]

A Crisis of Chronology: The JSA

By Walt Richardson | Mar 8, 2010 | Columns

Before the Justice League, before the Avengers, America’s favorite superhero team was the Justice Society of America. Partially consisting of heroes whose legacies still shine bright today, such as Green Lantern or the Flash, and partially consisting of those who are not quite as well known anymore, the JSA was a team of the Golden […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Mar 7, 2010 | Columns

Superheroes, cowboys and chicks with guns. What do they all have in common? They all look fantastic and are on this list. It’s a range of cover styles and it also brings us some new titles and artists. We also get some returners. Also, to make this column a little more interesting I’ve decided to […]

Friday Recommendation: I Love the (Late) 90’s

By David Harper | Mar 5, 2010 | Columns

Anybody who was reading comics in the late 1990’s can attest to this fact: there was never a worse time in comics than then. It carried into the beginning of the following decade a good bit, but for the most part when the decade turned the quality of comics took an upswing. But the 90’s […]

Zuda Weekly: The Monsterplex Interview

By David Harper | Mar 3, 2010 | Columns

February’s Zuda competition was quite the barn burner, as there were a ton of high class contenders and some really unique work involved. But there can only be one winner, and this month it was Monsterplex from Brock Heasley, David Schlotterback, and Michael DeVito. While they were behind in the competition to fellow competitor Island, […]

Open since 1992, both of Amazing Fantasy Comics’ locations (located in Newport News and Yorktown, the latter of which opened in 2000) are great places to stop by for your weekly […]

The Short Report: Twilight

By Gilbert Short | Mar 2, 2010 | Columns

Welcome to the Short Report. As some of you may know, I started The Short Report with an addendum to the hot button topic about piracy (though that wasn’t the original intent). But with that behind us, I’m jumping into the deep end. This was the intended first post: I’m going to discuss the upcoming […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Feb 28, 2010 | Columns

I’m back from my vacation in Hawaii and just in time as tsunami warnings hit the islands. Last week David stepped in and gave us a taste of his own unique taste of covers and upped the cuteness factor here at Burpee’s Got You Covered by about 2000% with choices such as Tiny Titans. Well […]

A Crisis of Chronology: Daredevil

By Walt Richardson | Feb 28, 2010 | Columns

Despite the terrible, terrible movie of 2003, Daredevil has long been one of the best titles Marvel has been publishing. Matt Murdock is one of Marvel’s most intriguing characters, but the title once came dangerously close to being canceled, an action which would have robbed us of years of great stories. Follow the jump and […]

This Month in Comics: A Wrap Up of the Best and Worst of February

By Gilbert Short | Feb 28, 2010 | Columns

Another month come and gone, and with that, a lot of comics. There were a LOT of memorable moments this month, for better or for worse. Much like David was last month, I love that February came to me. Check my thoughts behind the cut. Best Book of the month: Blackest Night #7 Did you […]

Friday Recommendation: The Authority

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 26, 2010 | Columns

There are certain things that I feel like everyone reading comics should have read during their lives. There are the things that the casual reader comes in to read (like anything with the name Alan Moore on the cover, except maybe Tom Strong – no disrespect for Tom Strong), and then there are the things […]

Zuda Weekly: Get Your Votes In

By David Harper | Feb 24, 2010 | Columns

This week on Zuda Weekly, I have my reminder to get your vote in for this month’s competition because it ends on Sunday, plus my final take on February’s competition. There are some very solid offerings this month, but strangely enough nothing matching the voting power that Matthew Petz’s War of the Woods showed last […]

Web Comic Spotlight: Let’s Be Friends Again

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 24, 2010 | Columns

Do you recognize the image above? Not just for it’s obvious (and awesome) reference to Siege #2, of course. The above image was sent around the internet like mad, and it was of course noticed by yours truly. And if you like this one image alone, then you’ll love Let’s Be Friends Again. When it […]

The Short Report: Comic Book Piracy. Now What?

By Gilbert Short | Feb 24, 2010 | Columns

Isn’t my LOST-themed Beer Glass awesome? Welcome to the inaugural installment of The Short Report (pronounced Shore Repore, like Colbert, yeah, I’m unoriginal). What I intend to do here is report on a current topic and give my thoughts on them, hopefully to spur on discussion past pure fanboy rage. Face it, we all have […]

Digital Comics: Airplanes

By Brandon Burpee | Feb 23, 2010 | Columns

Last time we touched on the need for digital comics in remote locations where shops can’t be found. In our second installment of digital comics articles I want to touch on another issue of location/availability. The need for digital comics in the sky! How would this work and why would it work? Check it out […]

Secret Avenger Speculation

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 22, 2010 | Columns

A couple of weeks ago, Marvel decided to start getting the ball rolling on the upcoming Heroic Age. First, we had images stating “I Am An Avenger,” with the characters we can expect to see in Bendis’ Avengers title, with art by John Romita Jr. Then Marvel revealed Secret Avengers, by Ed Brubaker featuring art […]
