There’s a dang great cartoonist from Canadiadiadia by the name of Jay Stephens. AMAZING stuff. You’d really have to track his work down now…he’s one of these talents who realizes there’s more money in doing […]
By Loran In my… unfortunately limited experience with comics (seriously, I’m working on it!), there are a few characters I’ve really taken a liking to, and one of them is Ms. Marvel, and I can’t […]
by Loran Larger 3.75” figures tend to be pretty hit or miss. Once in awhile, you can get something great like the Resolute/Rise of Cobra sculpt for Roadblock from G.I. Joe; a great interpretation of […]
Back after a week off during which I dressed up as a pirate, drew silly comics, and tackled a fire in my cave. Some careless animal tried to toast pine cones in my toaster while […]
by Chris Troy Say what you will about the new 52, but DC has managed to keep everyone talking about their comics since the announcement months ago. Marvel on the other hand, had a great […]
DC did it. In an industry where fighting for attention on the shelf is the key to the game, DC has rounded up the competition and painted their covers beige*. Few people are going to […]
We’re just jumping in head first like a seal into a wood chipper! Dark Horse has the Goon #35, Faith and Angel #1 and a brand new Star Wars original graphic novel called Chewbacca & […]
By Chris Troy SHAMELESS PLUG: I wrote an article for BleedingCool covering the Capcom Fight Club from 2 weeks back. You can read it here. Happy Monday FPNYC Faithful! For the most part, NYC was […]
This column was going to be a huge review of Craig Thompson’s 2003 graphic novel Blankets…but there’s too many awesome comic books out this week! For those who like titles about real life, beauty, sadness, […]
You are in luck, my friend, as there are so many AMAZING comic books out this week that you could probably buy one at random and still get somethin’ snazzy! Still, my job as a […]
by Chris Troy Hey there FPNYC faithful, were you aware that Forbidden Planet has a small, yet awesome gaming section? Not of the video game variety (like there’s a shortage of Gamestops in Manhattan), but […]
Anyone who believes in “comic books as lottery tickets,” that is to say that by purchasing collectible and significant comic books you can resell them in the future for a massive payoff, is a person […]
By Loran Sometimes sublines just get a bad reputation. Let’s take Power Core Combiners for instance. The line wasn’t well-received by most fans, but you can’t deny that there were some spectacular figures in it, […]
By some twerp (Named Dev) Imagine you were clonked on the head and you had absolute amnesia…maybe that’s too far fetched. Imagine instead that a magical woman in fishnet stockings wiped your mind to cover […]
Time to update your pull list… cause a new Punisher #1 drops Wednesday! Punisher #1 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Marco Checchetto For Frank Castle death comes easy…life is where things gets complicated. As New York […]
By Unkiedev The nineties comic book boom (and subsequent crash) was based on two factors that are still cavorting through the forest of comics today. One is the Unicorn of variant covers, the other is […]
By Unkiedev The San Diego Comic Con is happening tonight, tomorrow, and all through the weekend…without you or I in attendance AGAIN. How did we let this happen? It’s like the comic book rapture has […]
By Cornhusker T. Whiskerbooties (Just kidding, it’s by Unkiedev.) OFTEN times my “job” as a jet setting comic book journalist is a real grind…like when I get a paper cut on a near mint copy […]
By Unkiedev GHOSTS! That’s what I’ve been bothering me at all hours of the night, moaning, rattling chains and generally making themselves look like asses…although I’m sure they think they’re pretty clever, don’t you Ghosts? […]
By Chris Troy Happy 4th of July FPNYC faithful. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be drunk by 2, bbqing and watching Battlestar Galatica on Netflix. Maybe some fireworks. I dunno, Battlestar is really good […]
