Marvel and DC Comics don't do crossovers any more Not when it comes to the comics, that is But when it comes to the trademarks it's a different story. Although many consider that the jointly held trademark for the words "super hero" by Marvel and DC may not that be defensible in court, they have jointly[...]

Some spoilers for Doctor Fate out today. It is fair to say that Alan Moore and Paul Levitz clashed rather, at DC Comics, though they see their respective roles in very different terms. One of those clashes was over the ABC line that Alan Moore created for Wildstorm – before the publisher was bought by DC Comics[...]

A brand new identity? I may also be something that casual cosplayers might love. It is a little Star Wars: The Force Awakens… A fan favourite character and a previous Batgirl, Cassandra Cain was once dismissed as toxic at DC Comics, but was successfully revived in Batman & Robin Eternal by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV. Her first appearance was[...]

He has also contributed to Marvel's Secret Wars Journal and their Quake oneshot.

We're having a fun time looking at some of the trademark challenges made by DC Comics to all manner of folk they believe may be stepping over the line wit their own trademark registrations.

Terribly lost opportunity. Typical crazy busy last WEDNESDAY before CHRISTMAS – with lists and people picking up 'neat' looking back issues (silver-age/modern age) stuff as gifts. Good news for DC: 5 of their books are in the Top Ten The bad news for Marvel: it's not that DC's books have gotten better, it's that most of the[...]

The fitting end to a wonderful Christmas story. Shane Davis expressed his disdain that all DC freelancers and staffers got a Dex-Starr plush toy from DC Comics for Christmas but not him, given that he created the Red Lantern character and based Dex-Starr on his own cat. We then unearthed further disdain about the very existence of[...]

This year, DC Comics gave their creators and staff a special edition plush figure of the Dex-Starr character, a housecat-turned-Red Lantern, fuelled by the cat owner's death, an act Dex-Starr has yet to enact retribution The cat was based on the artist and character co-creator Shane Davis' own cat. The character was also used by Franco and[...]
