What made you decide to write such an unlikeable protagonist?
JN: I think the real turn in the quality of the book was when Greg and I made the conscious decision to make John a bit of a douche bag. That change made his journey from loathsome to heroic much more satisfying. And he's barely heroic in the[...]

Chuck Dixon and Jorge Zaffino's Winterworld series, originally published by Marvel, is being revived from June by IDW, joined by artist Butch Guice.

Today, Meth's publisher Aardwolf Publishing is putting out Comic Book Babylon about that legal battle and many others[...]
"Video nasty" is a peculiarly British term, coined in the eighties for films available on VHS and BetaMAX tapes believed to corrupt their audience through extreme violence and sexualised violence.

In some ways I was dreading reading The Fox #5 from Red Circle/Archie Comics, because it meant the end of the arc, and possibly the end of this incarnation of the hero known as the Fox that has been so startling, and inspired me with a great deal of hope about the future of alternative[...]

The comic specialised in telling hard, human, crime dramas with bad people doing bad things, and occasionally good things just to put you on the wrong footing, good people being corrupted[...]
Still, that is not enough in this market, even when it left on a massive cliffhanger which, I understand, will be followed up in Teen Titans.
But it looks like readers won't even be able to get to read the collection in print, as it has been cancelled by DC Comics Presumably for low orders.
It was[...]
