Have You Considered Letting Justice League #1 Into Your Heart?

Morgan Pielli | August 31, 2011

By Unkiedev We’re just jumping in head first like a seal into a wood chipper! Dark Horse has the Goon #35, Faith and Angel #1 and a brand new Star Wars original graphic novel called Chewbacca & the Slavers of the Shadowlands. Chewie hates slavers almost as much as Mr. T pities a fool, and [...]

Morgan Pielli | August 17, 2011

By Unkiedev You are in luck, my friend, as there are so many AMAZING comic books out this week that you could probably buy one at random and still get somethin’ snazzy! Still, my job as a Forbidden Planet columnist is to provide you with some professional perspective to guide the dart of your paycheck [...]

The Lion and the Unicorn

Morgan Pielli | July 27, 2011

By Unkiedev The nineties comic book boom (and subsequent crash) was based on two factors that are still cavorting through the forest of comics today. One is the Unicorn of variant covers, the other is the lion of investor speculation. See how nimbly they prance! The resale of comic books was viewed as a big [...]

jeff | April 27, 2011

By Unkiedev Logic states that any article regarding Free Comic Book Day should be written in order to glorify and promote. As the day in question is the first Saturday of May, one MIGHT logically write about it NEXT week, as it’s closer to the actual date so as to inspire participation…but this fails to [...]

MANTOAST: The EATENING

Morgan Pielli | April 6, 2011

By Unkiedev The greatest comic book that NOBODY has ever written is one where toast dresses up like a human to eat all the bad toast that plagues their planet of walking, talking pieces of toast. It might be called MANTOAST: The EATENING, or maybe even “The Man that walked like a Toast!”Two of the [...]

Batman In A Whale

Morgan Pielli | March 30, 2011

By Unkiedev Marvel tells us that Ultimate X #4 will ship this week.  Sure it will. I’ve only plugged it three times, and each solicitation fails to deliver.  If the Gods of Comic Books indeed intend to smile on us this week I can recommend few books more than Ultimate X #4. Don’t know the [...]

Spawn #200

lindsay | January 12, 2011

By Unkiedev This week the biggest star in the planetarium of comic books is Spawn #200. I think there are more variant covers to this book than there are original partners in Image. So what is Spawn #200 and why should you care? KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE The myth that kids read comic books is just [...]
