Twelve Thoughts About Twelve Comics
There are parallels with calls for terrorists to be tried like normal prisoners in America, this comic may well play with that kind of narrative quite well. Demon Knights gives us not only Lucifer and Hell, but also our first glimpse of the Black Diamond, appearing in all sorts of DC New 52 comics near you. [...]

Uncanny Avengers #1 From Hastings Selling For $35 – If You Can Find One!
Plus Hastings damages their comics so often that getting near mint copies is near impossible at times. For example at the three Hastings I went to (there are 8 in driving distance of me) only one had the Doctor Who variant and nearly every copy was badly spine crimped I'm going to all of them this[...]
When Jesse Met Jack

The Creators Of Bane Turn To Social Funding For New Graphic Novel, Joe Frankenstein
That ignores much of the financial realities of the modern comics industry and economy, the fact that such systems can ensure publishers create work from a more diverse base, and also doubles as a parallel distribution model for premium comic book, delivering signed and numbered prestige volumes, sketches, art and other merchandise direct from the[...]

Thrill Of The Hunt – Mark Waid's Daredevil #2
But as with most modern comics that command a premium, relative scarcity also plays a role with this issue Daredevil #1 was released in July of 2011, with a print run just shy of 65,000 copies When #2 followed a month later, fewer than 41,000 were printed Clearly, demand was higher than expected, and the[...]

I'm here today to talk to you about "Marvel Comics Presents #6" put out by Drippy Bone Books I was lucky enough to pick up the anthology at SPX this year and I was impressionable enough to have my mind well and truly warped by it. It's a parody anthology to be sure, and one focused[...]
Morrisoncon Day 3 by Akira The Don: Having Your Hashcake And Eating It
I wandered, as if in a dream through a parade of bikini clad, bossomy young females, slot machine grannies and inky-fleshed football players, signed autographs for a cluster of comics kids hanging outside the tattoo parlour, air-fived the excellent Day One movie panel host and 2011 Penthouse Pet of the Year Runner Up and Saints[...]
