And how the artist intended to draw a certain comic, usually from DC Comics or Marvel, is no longer drawing that comic Often down to crunching deadlines, it can have some unusual side-effects. Take today's Red Hood & Arsenal #12 Where the Joker's Daughter is reprising DC's Death In The Family phone-in vote for the death[...]

From previous issues…  DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson used to be, basically, chief of JK Rowling at Warners after all…   The rather entertaining and well-regarded Hellblazer/Harry Potter fanfic by Camwyn sought to place John Constantine in one of the four house of Hogwarts, via the Sorting Hat. "Will you get on with it, you bloody sack of stitches?" "All right,[...]

There are even Barbie collectibles… Funko.com I think it's[...]

This book made me a little nervous since it was not written by Ennis or Rucka, but it seems to have a solid bed rock for the for first story arc at least. When was the last time a non dc/marvel made it to #1 at our store??? Robotech of all things flew out of the store[...]
