Luther Strode Makes It To A Second Printing

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. We ranted about it once, we ranted about it twice, and now it looks like you listened: Luther Strode’s first printing […]

Wonder Woman’s New Origin Revealed

By David Harper | Oct 10, 2011 | News

Today on DC’s The Source blog, they shared another of the big changes they are making to the New 52, including that Wonder Woman is no longer a creation of Aphrodite but the child of Hippolyta and Zeus. The exact details from The Source are below, but my question is this: why couldn’t they just […]

Multiversity 101: The Controversy Controversy

By David Harper | Oct 10, 2011 | News

Have you noticed lately that it seems that nearly everything that happens in comics these days is perceived as insulting to someone? DC is angering women right and left and Mark Millar is downplaying extreme violence and rape — and those are just two of the most prominent examples. In the PC world of today, […]

The Red Circle Returns…Again.

By Joshua Mocle | Oct 10, 2011 | News

In a bit of pre-NYCC hype, Archie Comics has announced (another) return for their stable of super heroes following their largely unsuccessful resurrection at DC in 2008. This time, according to Archie co-chief executive officer Jon Goldwater, an “Incredibles-esque” approach will be taken that sees the original Red Circle characters close to retirement when a […]

Sable, Roth and Holden’s "Fearless" TPB Coming Soon

By David Harper | Oct 10, 2011 | News

Recently we spoke with writer Mark Sable about his work, amongst which was a 2007 mini-series called Fearless from Image Comics with art from PJ Holden and co-written by David Roth. It was a very, very solid book that strangely had not been collected yet, but will now see its release in trade paperback form […]

Jim Shooter Reviews Red Hood and Catwoman, Reaches Same Conclusions as Rest of Internet

By Patrick Tobin | Oct 7, 2011 | News

The fact that Jim Shooter looks sort of like a Russian mobster who’ll kill you without hesitation only adds to his reputation as a fearsome editorial critic. He’s the guy who Chris Claremont blames for the suicidal climax of The Dark Phoenix Saga; who set Frank Miller loose on an unsuspecting populace; who Doug Moench […]

DCnU, Batman Top September Sales Charts

By David Harper | Oct 7, 2011 | News

After hearing endlessly about each and every DCnU comic selling out and going to reprints, it wasn’t a surprise when we heard that DC came out on top of Marvel in the initial month of the DCnU. DC topped Marvel in both units sold (43.04% vs. 37.88%) and total dollars (a substantially closer 35.74% vs. […]

Kate Beaton’s Hark! A Vagrant Collection Debuts as a NYT #1

By David Harper | Oct 6, 2011 | News

When Craig Thompson’s Habibi was released, I expected it to (deservedly) run off a forever long streak of #1 finishes on the New York Times Best Selling Graphic Books list. I mean, it is his first book since Carnet de Voyage in 2004, and his star has just risen and risen since then. But today […]

Marvel To Offer Free Digital Copies With Print Copies Of Avenging Spider-Man

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 6, 2011 | News

Back when the whole DCnU hype/announcements/hoopla began, one of the initial elements of it that I had a stark problem with was charing an extra dollar for a reader to get a digital copy of a title along with a printed one. Obviously the handling of the digital medium is still very much in flux, […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 4, 2011 | News

Ok, it’s not the literal year one, but I’m sure you’ll get the reference. What you may or may not know about Multiversity favorite/Donald Glover endorsed comic Li’l Depressed Boy is that it actually began life as a webcomic. The original webcomic that started like this eventually became the comic we all know and love […]

Giffen and Jurgens to Replace Perez On Superman

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 3, 2011 | News

Because taking over Green Arrow wasn’t good enough for the duo, it looks like Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens are going to be taking over Superman from writer George Perez after issue #6. Perez might stay on as inker/finisher with artist Jesus Merino, but no additional information is available at this time. Perez, one of […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 3, 2011 | News

On Saturday, DC Comics co-publisher Dan Didio posted the above status update on Facebook announcing that all previous crises in the DCnU have now not happened.
