I love Paul Cornell. I love Ryan Kelly. I love Vertigo Comics. Thus, I will love their new series together, as today at NYCC it was announced Cornell and Kelly will be working on a book at Vertigo called “Saucer Country.” Just the fact that it is Cornell and Kelly is enough to make me […]

NYCC: Updated! Brubaker & Phillips Roll Out "Fatale" at Image

By Walt Richardson | Oct 14, 2011 | News

We’ve known about this since the morning, but it’s just been announced at NYCC: Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ new creator-owned collaboration “Fatale” will be released by Image Comics, not Marvel’s Icon Comics. The reasoning is pretty simple and doesn’t affect his work at Marvel at all – he just promised Image publisher Eric Stephenson […]

By David Harper | Oct 14, 2011 | News

Image had their big creator-owned panel today at NYCC, and it was huge announcement after huge announcement there. One of my favorites? A new book from Jim McCann (The Return of the Dapper Men) and Rodin Esquejo (cover artist of Morning Glories) called “Mind the Gap.” Those two creators are phenomenal, and it will be […]

By David Harper | Oct 14, 2011 | News

Sad Batman (Adam Scott) talks it out with Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) If you’re not watching NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” you’re missing one of the best shows and the best comedy on television. It’s a fantastic ensemble cast and an outrageously good time. Take last night for example, when Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) and Donna […]

Ann Nocenti has returned!

NYCC: New "Danger Girl" Series Coming Next Year from IDW

By David Harper | Oct 14, 2011 | News

Once upon a time, you couldn’t find a hotter series than J. Scott Campbell’s Cliffhanger book “Danger Girl” (besides possibly Cliffhanger mate Joe Madureira’s “Battle Chasers”). Now it seems as if, according to an interview with IDW’s CCO and EIC Chris Ryall at CBR, that Abbey Chase and the rest will be returning in a […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 12, 2011 | News

Image announced today that Hickman’s highly anticipated oversized one-shot, Feel Better Now, is now going to be delayed.

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 11, 2011 | News

The Strange Talent of Luther Strode is by far and large one of our favorite debuts of this year (if not the debut), combining fantastic storytelling and art for one whopper of a story.
