DC New 52 Collections Catchup… Green Lantern
Okay, it’s catch-up time for a few DC New 52 titles I kept up with. You remember the whole DC New 52 thing don’t you? Where DC decided the entire DC Universe needed a good kick up the continuity backside, and started everything from #1 again. 52 new series. And back in September, we looked [...]

Friday, April 6, 2012
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before, and thanks to Roast Unicorn for the tip. Little League by Yale Stewart. My new favourite thing. Adorable. Funny. Silly. The Justice League as kids; Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Power Girl, Martian Manhunter, Flash. The teacher is Mr Schwartz, and the gym teacher…. well, just [...]

Tuesday, March 27, 2012
DC have (finally) scheduled the Marshal Law Omnibus Edition collecting every solo Marshal Law appearance as written by Pat Mills and drawn by Kevin O’Neill for Spring 2013. Well, it’s always nice to have some time to plan your purchases isn’t it? So far Mills and O’Neill’s superhero hunter killer has found a home at [...]

One of the new series from DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint we’ve been eagerly anticipating launches this very day – Saucer Country from the team of Ryan Kelly, Giulia Brusco and Paul Cornell. And I am delighted to say the three of them have very kindly taken the time to talk us through some of the [...]

These animations by Michael Habjan are quite amazing, especially considering they are fan videos, the animation created in spare time over months (and the original model work for the characters taking even longer before that), creating a fan-pleasing depiction of a slug-fest between two of the most powerful beings in comics – the not so [...]
Continue reading...Before Watchmen….
Saturday, February 4, 2012
You’re probably aware of this: The Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created Watchmen, released in ’86-’87, 12 issues and a collection that’s never been out of print, and sold in its millions. And unless you’ve been living under a rock this week, you’re probably aware that DC have now decided it’s time to do these: [...]

Saturday, January 28, 2012
DC’s new logo. Not the most popular of things around the Internet. But wouldn’t you like to hear what a designer thinks? How about the best designer in comics? Here’s Rian Hughes (from his facebook). I reckon he’s worth listening to on this: “Here’s the thing – a comic book logo has got to fulfill [...]

Sunday, January 15, 2012
You’ll be aware of my deep, abiding love for The Shadow – or more specifically, the DC Comics series from the late 80s. The Howard Chaykin issues were great, the Andy Helfer, Bill Sienkiewicz and Kyle Baker issues were magnificent. And to be honest, I’d rather given up hope of ever seeing them again. But [...]

The first round of DC New 52 cancellations have been announced this week. Six titles are gone with issue 8: Hawk & Dove, Mister Terrific, Static Shock, Men Of War, Blackhawks and really sadly – O.M.A.C. But because market share is oh so important, those 6 cancellations have 6 replacements – “DC Comics – the [...]

It appeared earlier tonight, but there was always the possibility that DC were having one massive joke. But no, Heidi at The Comics Beat popped up a story a few minutes ago, complete with sources and links. This IS a logo that DC Comics / DC Entertainment have applied for trademark with the US Patent [...]

Thursday, December 29, 2011
Comments Off
That’s the work of I.N.J. Culbard, artist of SelfMadeHero’s Sherlock Holmes (4 volumes), Mountains Of Madness, Dorian Gray. And yet still magnificently described as a newcomer in the DC/Vertigo press release talking about the new 8-part series The New Deadwardians, written by Dan Abnett: “Set in post-Victorian England, nearly everyone in the upper class has [...]

On racks tomorrow for New Comic Day, a great big serving of the Cosmic Jack Kirby’s Fourth World from DC. Oh yeah… … and there’s a lovely, big deluxe hardback collection of Bill Willingham’s tales from the brilliant Fables, Bad Doings and Big Ideas: And I notice the new editions of Neil Gaiman’s superlative Sandman [...]

Freshly arrived for this New Comic Day, I just love this cover for the second Green Lantern Omnibus: They just don’t do superhero covers quite like that today… (art by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson, (c) DC Comics) Actually it’s a top week for some cracking new graphic novel releases, including the gorgeous looking slipcased [...]

Monday, November 21, 2011
Comments Off
This short interview with Grant Morrison took place when his collaboration with Frank Quitely for DC Comics, We3, had just been published, around 2005, and first saw light of day on a fondly remembered science fiction review site, The Alien Online, which some of you may recall reading. TAO grew out of the staff recommendations [...]

Sunday, November 13, 2011
It’s 50 years since Antonio Prohias created one of my favourite strip series ever (I vividly reading them in a stack of MAD Magazines in my dad’s study) – the wonderful Spy Vs Spy series. Over half a century we’ve seen the white spy and the black spy continually battle, looking at ever more inventive [...]
