By Unkiedev I’ve awoken, cold and shivering on the floor of my cave in a pool of leaves, vomit and mouse parts. I cannot remember the last week AT ALL. The only clues I have are half of a Halloween costume and excerpts from a Forbidden Planet column I have NO memory of writing. The [...]

By Chris Troy I genuinely feel bad for all of  you who have stuck with Brightest Day. I dropped the latest Geoff John’s Retcon-Murderporn mini-series 5 issues in, when I realized the only characters I cared about in the story were having their stories told in separate and much better books (Justice League: Generation Lost [...]

By Unkiedev Guillermo Del Toro, the brilliant director behind Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy feature films is an enigma. He loves comic books, but has no interest in working with them whatsoever. Sure, he’s adapted the Hellboy books into movies with the help of comic book legend Mike Mignola. He’s also recently announced plans to [...]

By Unkiedev Three things have happened, and where they intersect is a fascinating statement on our beloved institution, the comic book. The first is innocent enough: 1. FREE COMIC BOOK DAY COMICS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED. Many titles have been announced for 2011’s Free Comic Book Day on May 7th, including a new revamp of Richie [...]

by Shannon Hochman Many of us who grew up in the 90′s have a grudging attitude towards the new generation of anime fans that are exploring the niche in a world that makes it far more accessible than it ever was even five years ago. We resent that they peruse the likes of Naruto and [...]
