Recently, I found myself listening to pal Chuck's podcast, the Related Recap , in which he discussed why he felt Las Vegas should have a Comic-Con. Now, maybe NaBloPoMo fever has taken over, maybe it's the repeated playing of KISS' "God of Thunder" on my mp3 player, or even the fact that I'm attempting to drive traffic to my column when it's published on the 15th....but taking my cue from...
It’s been a long and rocky road for super heroines. But thanks to intrepid online activism and a new generation of creators, it might finally be their time to shine.
Jim: This is the first month in many, many moons that I’m not getting a single hard cover from DC. I was tempted on Newsboy Legion, but I have tons of Golden Age material and only a few things would tempt me anymore for Golden Age. Lee: I can’t believe that you aren’t getting a single hc. That must be a record of some type. Gwen: Jim really needs his own library at this point he has...

If there is anything that STUMPTOWN does, and does well, it is that it reaffirms my more-or-less Gay Man Crush on one Mr. Greg Rucka. There’s something about the detective genre – more on that later – that really just brings out the best the best in him. It really is his sweet spot for character building, as we have been seeing for several months with his run on DETECTIVE COMICS where...
Enemy Ace (Hans von Hammer) first appearance was in DC's Our Army at War #151 (Feb. 1965). He went on to appear in Star Spangled War Stories as a regular feature from #138 to #150. Von Hammer appeared in various DC war titles over the years. He was also the subject of two graphic novels: Enemy Ace: War in Heaven and most notably Enemy Ace: War Idyll by George Pratt . Originally created by writer Robert...
"Your nature is to do evil; mine is to love the truth and publish it despite you." This entry is from Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary, under the entry on Fate. On the 250th anniversary of the publication of Candide, Voltaire's masterpiece attacking the philosophical doctrine of Optimism made popular by writers like Alexander Pope and Gottfried Leibniz, the New York Public Library has...
I've long been a fan of detective fiction - from Holmes and Marlowe through to Morse and Monk - in books, films, and on TV, and though detective comics are rare these days (unless you count Detective Comics , which is anything but most of the time, despite featuring "the world's greatest detective"), I followed books like Maze Agency and Ms. Tree throughout the 80s and 90s. Though some of...
While we may not always have the time to review all the comics we get every week, we do try and a snapshot of the latest releases, mixing the good with the not so good.

Batman first appeared in Detective Comics in 1939 and was little more than detective who wore a superhero costume. Batman's powers evolved along with the character through the years, eventually ending up on prime-time tv on the ultra-campy BATMAN (1966) tv show starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The popularity of this show eventually led to the creation of the first animated Batman series, Filmation's...
Cartoon Network is going live-action, and it’s taking Paul Dini with it. The Gotham City Sirens and Streets of Gotham writer has also been working on a live-action series called Tower Prep, which Variety announced today has been ordered by Cartoon Network. (Perhaps no coincidence — Cartoon Network is owned by DC Comics’ parent company, Time/Warner.) [...]
