Grace apologises for the delay to this week’s Between The Panels – no need Grace, we’re happy for you to join us whenever you can. But she brought Archie Comics’ Alex Segura with her, to talk about Kevin Keller, Life WIth Archie Archie/KISS and so much more. And she promised Tuesday’s Stacktastic, also part of…

Comics In Focus: The Image Revolution is…
I don’t know what IC Press is, but it appears to be a version of the AP that serves Hungary. Several websites over there have passed on the same Ridley Scott quote in the last couple of days, all crediting it to this same source. And now it’s going international. It’s a juicy quote –…

As expected, Marvel will be ramping up products to appeal to people seeing the Avengers movie.

And an Omnibus edition of The Ultimate Avengers comics.
We also get Brian Bendis’ AKA Goldfish and Torso in hardcover, a hardcover edition of X-Men Fatal Attractions, Robert Kirkman and Derec Donavan’s Jubilee series collected.

The legal fight between Edgar Rice Burroughs’ family and Dynamite over the publication of Warlord Of Mars and Dejah Thoris has been picked up by Hollywood Reporter.

Because the version that actually bring, makes a couple of changes. Suddenly Zatanna’s neck line has dropped, the zip is been pulled down a little. Say, looking…
It was mentioned in the solicitations. But now it’s appeared officially on panel, honest. With all the various discussions over which stories “happened” in the new 52, we now have positive on panel proof that, yes, Batman did get his back broken in the Knightfall story, by Bane. Yes, this is news. Shush. And in…
We already knew that something called Spider-Men #1 was coming. This teaser combining the Peter Parker and the Mirel Morales spider symbols got a few people’s attention and managed to draw a little attention away from Before Watchmen announced on the same day. Well, listed on Page 24 of the Marvel Previews, out shortly. “Opt…
Courtesy of Midtown Comics‘ listings and skipping the trades, here’s a look at the Marvel solicitations for May 2012.
