Each week we offer our customers a limited, one-day-only (new comic day, to be exact) deep discount offer on a new graphic novel or comic book. This week’s paperback for the parsimonious is the brand […]
Guillermo Del Toro, the brilliant director behind Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy feature films is an enigma. He loves comic books, but has no interest in working with them whatsoever. Sure, he’s adapted the Hellboy […]
Dark Horse has Buffy the Vampire Slayer #39 out this week, but their hottest title to hit the stands might just be Evelyn Evelyn a hard cover graphic novel from the Dresden Dolls front woman […]
Somebody killed all the good, fun, bright and new ideas in comic books. Is there anyone to save us? Holy Crap! A New Hellboy book?! Richard Corben, 70’s Heavy Metal Magazine favorite and erstwhile Hellboy […]
Today’s column marks an incredible anniversary for me. No, it’s not the 100th column or even the 200th. I haven’t been keeping the best records of these things, so I couldn’t really tell you how […]
I write to you, dear readers, from the barnacled confines of a 6” by 4” cell made of sharp coral, tridents and kelp. Yep, you guessed it; I’ve been kidnapped by Merpeople. It seemed the […]
Things in my cave are GREAT, thanks! I’ve taken care of that horrible bear, found a few new non-poisonous mushrooms and even got a girlfriend …although she might just be a hallucination, a side-effect from […]
One of my favorite cartoons from Nicholas Gurewitch. This and Wrath of Khan are the first things that come to mind on the anniversary of anyone’s birth.
The new Dr. Horrible TP from Dark Horse. Recommend.
Buffy season 8 started out as an exciting new development in the history of comic books. Where Television had disappointed fans by ending a popular show, comic books would pick up the slack and give […]
Yeeeah this week’s title is pretty self-explanatory. That’s right, there is a book coming out. I can only stand to guess that this is because that very last week of July was a huge release week, immediately followed by the first week of August’s ginormous release schedule. On a completely unrelated note, according to the computer not underlining the word “ginormous” with a red dotted line, I believe it has been confirmed as an official real word. Thank you Miriam Webster. […]
I love cartoonist Corey Lewis, a.k.a. “the Reyy” even though he comes off as an arrogant, preening twerp. Check out his insufferably smug blog reyy.com and see what I mean. So much talent in such a scruffy mirror junkie. […]
Last week I raged against the oncoming storm that is the Yogi Bear 3D CGI movie. A good friend and blogger, a.k.a. “Jim” of jimsmash.blogspot.com pointed out one of the posters for said celluloid turkey and the rather, awkward catch phrase it employs. […]
I’ve been reading over past columns to make sure I don’t repeat myself. Still, there is a line I used last year that pretty much sums up my feelings this week. I’m not sure how improper it is to quote yourself, but here goes: “Seriously, San Diego Comic Con is like NOTHING you have ever experienced … and once again I shall not be going.” […]
Nominations for The Harvey Awards for books released in 2009 have been announced, and are presented below. Nominations for the Harvey Awards are selected exclusively by creators – those who write, draw, ink, letter, color, […]
Aspen comics have managed to publish a comic book WITHOUT a half-naked lady on the cover! This is an impressive feat for them, one sure to turn over some long standing bets with bookies keeping tabs on such things. […]
By Unkiedev When we grade comic books for resale quality we use terms like Mint, Near Mint, Fine and so on. Descriptions are necessary so we can quantify worth. These terms, however, cannot hope to […]
By Devin T. Quin Patton Oswald is a funny man who tells funny jokes. He was great as a talking rat in Pixar’s Ratatouille, though even funnier in Comedians of Comedy, in which Patton takes […]
By Mat K. Okay, so there are a lot of nifty things coming in this week, and right now we have to go over the first and fore most: Darker Than Black Omnibus Edition written […]
Dark Horse Comics releases a new Serenity/Firefly comic today, and if you’re as much of a fan of the series as I am that’s plenty reason to be excited. Featuring three stories of Wash (the […]
