Ok, so the world as we know it may or may not be ending this Friday, December 21st. Many think the Mayans all those centuries ago were onto something and over the past couple of years we have been treated to an endless stream of speculation, films, and all manner...
As The Amazing Spider-Man filmmakers learned this summer, it’s difficult to get away with rebooting something soon after it’s just been launched, or relaunched, already. It’s clearly a lesson that DC Comics has taken to heart, with a pair of new #1 issues out this week cleverly hidden as #13....
Of course, a lot of the longtime fans opposed to any sort of change would likely take the position that our question would really be whose costumes are worse, but the idea remains the same: with both major American comics publishers relaunching and renumbering their core line of superhero titles,...
Several days ago, before the very tragic events in Aurora, Colorado at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises, the biggest news surrounding the film came from conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh and his suggestion that Bane, the supervillain of the film, was some sort of symbol for Bain...
While there have been many anticipated returns, reboots and character introductions in DC’s new 52, none may be more hoped for by readers and more dreaded by those in Gotham City, than that of Batman’s arch enemy The Joker. A chilling and jarring new teaser image was released today, which...
A lot of panels at comic book conventions these days have gotten very good at controlling spoilers, being cagey in responses to pointed fan inquires, and teasing out just enough information to make you feel like you may have gained some insight when, it may turn out later, you didn’t...
Saturday at the 30th annual Heroes Con in Charlotte has proven to be worth the crowds, the lines, and the massive amount of attention focused on getting just a few seconds of face time with comics legend Stan Lee. Even though that in and of itself is enough to make...
Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the creative team behind Green Lantern: Rebirth and a number of other best-selling titles for DC over the last ten years or so, will collaborate on Green Lantern Annual #1, due out in August, which will reportedly finally deal with dangling plot threads left...
Just prior to the release of DC Comics: The New 52 #1, DC’s Free Comic Book Day offering, we looked at some of the questioned posed by the release of Jim Lee’s four-page tease for the upcoming Trinity War. Having seen the full issue itself, not only are most of those...
Earlier today, comics news and gossip site Bleeding Cool revealed a pair of TV spots for DC Comics’ New 52 collected editions, which began coming out this week with Justice League Volume 1: Origin by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. The collections will continue to be published throughout the summer,...
Artist Travel Foreman is moving on from the critically-acclaimed run on Animal Man that he’s been doing with writer Jeff Lemire, and the choice to replace him with Steve Pugh has puzzled some fans. Pugh, who has drawn Animal Man in the past, with a much more typically-superheroic art style,...
Back in September, DC made waves by reimagining Superman’s and Wonder Woman’s costumes, among others, and by giving just about every superhero a look that looked a bit like a mock turtleneck. Fans have warmed to most of the new looks, or at least stopped complaining about them aggresively, but...
At a smaller convention, somewhat less inhibited by high-ranking DC executives in their midst, a group of creators at yesterday’s DC Comics panel at the Boston Comic-Con revealed quite a bit of new information about the world of the New 52, according to a report from DC Women Kicking Ass....
Another day, another massive DC Comics rumor. It’s long been rumored that DC Comics planned to write some miniseries or one-shots meant to fill in the gaps between when Justice League #1 occurred five years ago and when the rest of the New 52 took off. It now appears as...
While many creator-owned and indie writers and artists are loathe to work in the “floppy” magazine format for their comic books and graphic novels, it’s rare to hear a DC or Marvel Comics veteran bemoan the restrictions of the format. And Scott Lobdell didn’t really go that far in today’s...
