DC Comics Liquidating Stacks Of Trade Paperbacks And Graphic Novels

Fun And Frolics With The Continuity Of Batman Inc
I've been told that, while many DC Comics freelance writers have suffered rewrite upon rewrite, note after note, change after change, from the current editorial regime – leading some to leave the book they were working on – Grant Morrison MBE is among those who don't. He has his own get out of jail free card[...]

Doc Savage #18 Finally Released. Not That DC Comics Is Telling You About It.
A couple of years ago, JG Jones began writing a six issue story for his Doc Savage, with Phil Winslade on art, that started with issue 13. The comic was cancelled with issue 17, leaving a hanging "To Be Continued" tag… that was never picked up. Until now. Without fanfare, without announcement, almost hoping no one would notice,[...]
Thursday Runaround – Life In Hell Freezes Over
For the next four weeks, editors will have their choice of strips from Groening's extensive archive before they close up shop in July on Friday the 13, which seems oddly appropriate. "I've had great fun, in a Sisyphean kind of way, but the time has come to let Binky and Sheba and Bongo and Akbar and[...]

A Comic Show – AVX #6 Better Than The First Five Put Together
It's a slippery slope to some good comics. Before Watchmen Comedian #1 may not be necessary for the Watchmen collection, but it sure helped me understand what happened with that JFK love triangle better! Wonder Woman #10 made her more like Jesus than I was picking up on before, sure she's the offspring of a god,[...]
Bedtime Adventures With The JSA By Dave Dellecese
It was All-Star Comics #14 and the Justice Society decided that it was the only right thing to do to feed Nazi-occupied nations to give freedom fighters the power to fight back against their oppressors With a miracle of an invention (pills that turn into whole meals, something The Jetsons would perfect many years later),[...]
Walking Dead #100 Herd Dominates Reorder List
You can also see which covers are more popular.  Apparently Frank Quitely's freaked out zombie granny is not what the people want. With all that activity, it's impressive to see Captain America #14 burst through, whih indicates there will be a second print there very shortly, as well as for Batman #11. Image's new Revival #1 also[...]

Help Prevent Static's Co-Creator Being Buried In A Pauper's Grave
Washington will still wind up on Hart Island, home to New York City's indigent burials, without any ceremony or respect and his only lasting memorial will be the Milestone Comics that many have read and enjoyed. If you'd like to do your part to ensure this doesn't happen, please donate to the Hero Initiative and ask[...]
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes – Knights, Grifters And Academics
