A not so super honeymoon

Thursday, September 16, 2010

On his honeymoon with Lois, Superman begins to get the feeling that perhaps it isn’t all going as well as he might wish for… That tickles me just right… Link via GFest, sadly artist name not mentioned

The wonderful Batman Adventures, Mike Parobeck and my all time favourite Batman tale….

Sunday, August 29, 2010

The late 80s/early 90s weren’t the best of times for superhero comics. They really weren’t. Too much showboating and not enough craft saw artists became superstars, often for cranking out hyper-exaggerated mockeries of comics, full of splash pages, ridiculous anatomy and no feet. But in the midst of all this was Batman Adventures. In a [...]

Joker and Lex – this really, really needs to be made into a series….

Friday, August 27, 2010

From issue 75 of Superman/Batman (out right now!) and currently getting a load of attention all over the Interweb thing, comes this quite brilliant Calvin and Hobbes parody/homage by Brian Azzerello and Lee Bermejo. I imagine it’s the best thing in the comic by a long way. Hell, it’s probably the best Batman related thing [...]

Thanks to the online KeepCalm-O-Matic website we have this: (Via Linkmachinego) In case you don’t know – the concept is a mashup of the Keep Calm And Carry On WWII poster and the Frank Miller goes mental All Star Batman And Robin series:

Milk and Cheese vs Batman. No contest.

Saturday, August 14, 2010

Oh, that’s good. Evan Dorkin‘s brilliant Milk And Cheese as imagined by Jim Rugg. And it all came from Frank Santoro at Comics Comics having a weird idea……. “I had imagined that this scene could possibly be something Evan dreams about at night: Milk & Cheese beating up a “Neal Adams” Batman. Then I told [...]

Bikin’ Batman!

Forget Grant Morrison’s long, convoluted death and rebirth of Batman, now the truth can be revealed: the Dark Knight is actually on a motorbiking holiday in Scotland, taking in a bit of the world’s biggest arts festival in Edinburgh on the way: (pic of Edinburgh Fringe Cavalcade from my Flickr, click for the larger version) [...]

Batman: City of Scars

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

2 Comments

City of Scars is Aaron Schoenke’s fan-made Batman film, shot for only $27, 000. As Kevin Melrose notes it may not be the most original storyline (the Joker escapes Arkham, Batman must hunt him) but it looks quite remarkable given the miniscule budget. City of Scars joins a growing trend for some very professional looking [...]

Happy Father’s Day…..

Well, I was planning on grabbing a quick father’s day comic panel or cover but the most obvious one is this one….. ….. and that’s hardly in the right spirit, is it? But as I was perusing the Interweb for stuff, I did come across this… That’s better. It comes from a rather nice fans [...]

The Preacher / Batman Team Up?

Saturday, April 10, 2010

Comments Off

Great Comics That Never Happened is a series from writer Chris Sims and artist Rusty Shackles over at Comic Alliance. Simple idea, very nicely done. Three so far; a Mary Jane/Black Cat wedding special and a JLA/Wu Tang Clan team-up. But the best so far is this great Batman/Preacher meeting:

New Comics Day is a day later than usual in the UK this week, due to the Easter Monday holiday and subsequent delivery problems caused by the UK’s main distribution routes being choked by millions of fluffy bunnies carrying baskets. But it’s worth waiting for -  there’s Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin: [...]

Bruce’s Scottish holiday

Thursday, March 18, 2010

On the racks today is the Batman International collection, which includes Batman: the Scottish connection by Alan Grant and Frank Quitely. I like Frank’s artwork normally, but glancing inside at his depiction of Edinburgh Castle as viewed from the Grassmarket I can’t help but wonder why he didn’t render a more accurate depiction of the [...]

Batman, Great White Shark and a lightsabre = silly but awesome

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Slash Film (via BoingBoing) has this fab pic of the Dark Knight armed with a lightsabre tackling a huge Great White Shark. It doesn’t say who created the image but although it’s a bit daft it’s also all kinds of awesome!
