Last week I picked up the much hyped and strangely British America’s got Powers (IMAGE) by TV funny man Jonathan Ross and newly freelance Bryan Hitch, whom actually celebrated his birthday on Sunday.   I was lucky enough to pick up a signed copy since the pair recently visited London’s...

On Sunday my walkabout took me to the Toronto Wizard World show. A bit barren, but I did stumble across a few new finds. My first was one I was aware of before attending, but pleasantly pleased to find and get a chance to chat with. Boum, or Samantha Leriche-Gionet is a 27-ish freelance...

It was an interesting weekend for moderating panels… well for me at any rate. I’ve already talked about my general Wizard World thoughts at Geek Hard earlier this week so today I figured I’d let you guys into how panels can go from the prospective of the moderator. I...

It was last year when Marvel started releasing .1 versions of our favourite comic books.  At the time I didn’t pay any attention to what .1 was all about.  I was reading a lot of IDW comics and only a handful of Marvel titles.  Captain America and FF was the bulk of my Marvel...

In preparation for the Avengers movie CBD is taking at look back at the films that led to this monumental cinematic occasion. This week the Road To The Avengers suits up for Iron Man 2. Anthony: Another very strong ensemble cast really sells this movie and makes it a great action feature...

The first comic I ever bought was Batman Vs Judge Dredd from 2000AD in about 1994.  I honestly wish I still had it,  the art was beautiful and the story was cool enough to claim me as a comics guy forever more.   I’ve always been naturally drawn to Batman as a character and I will...

One of the most positive aspects of the comic book industry is that conventions and events allow a continual opportunity for fans to meet and interact with their favourite creators. It can be somewhat of a surreal experience to hold in your hand your favourite comic book and be talking to the...

The Dark Knight Rises is coming to theatres this summer, and from the very beginning we’ve been told this will be the third and final film in the franchise by Christopher Nolan.  So what does the future hold for Batman on the big screen? It is obvious that there will be another Batman...

My family is moving next week so I’ve been packing up my comics “stuff” since I don’t let the kids touch it and my wife steers clear of my hobby. Box after box of hardcovers and trade paperbacks were carefully packed away and set aside for the movers. If was great to...

With the next big event in the UK scene fast approaching, I thought it best to open the box on the ‘Kapow!’ ComicCon and break it into little nuggets of joy for all to nibble as they see fit.  I was pleasantly surprised by the heavy hitting line-up and… actually, I can’t...

Long time readers know that I am a huge supporter of both digital comics and the local comic books store. Many out there believe that you can’t support both. That you need to pick a side and the time is now. Do you want to live in a world where everything is digital and comic book...

In preparation for the Avengers movie CBD is taking at look back at the films that led to this monumental cinematic occasion. This week the Road To The Avengers runs right though the Incredible Hulk. Anthony: I remember liking this movie a lot more when I saw it in the theatres, but that...

Friday morning I woke up before the crack of dawn to jump into a small convertible with three guys to drive down to Boston to go to PAX East. PAX is the Penny Arcade gaming expo. PAX started in Seattle, Washington in 2004, and because of its growing popularity expanded to the east coast in...

If you take a look at the comic shelves, movie theatres and toy shelves over the last couple of years, there has been a revival of our favourites from the 80′s. Transformers has been the most successful 80′s franchise to conquer the new millennium.  The 3 Transfomers movies...

So a while back Andrew basically threw down the gauntlet and double dog dared more of us here at CBD to write reviews. I don’t think that I have the testicular fortitude to dissect a comic book with the surgeon like precision that my colleague uses, but I will throw my hat in the...

Chew is a comic written by Jay Layman with art by Rob Guillroy and is published by Image. It has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list twice, and is considered Image’s most acclaimed titles. It takes place in a world where the avian flu has run rampant and chicken and other fowl...

Buffy and or say X-Files might be the best comparison for Spare Keys for Strange Doors. Or maybe Lost Girl if you know it. Toby Hathaway and Marion Sark are professional supernatural problem solvers. ‘Blessed’ with powers of their own, they are sought out or brought in when...

Quite a few months ago I talked about changing my style of comic review here at Comic Book Daily. I wanted to pair down what was being presented: less about outlining the story or talking about the artwork. Since then I’ve had a good run of reviews and have honed my perspective but I...

Very simple this week.  In the interests of feeling like a child again AND to feel a greater connection to the fictional, comic characters that occupy our mischievous minds on a daily basis, I’d like to pose a simple question… In the world of comic books who would you date? Who would you...

As our readers are well aware, we are always striving for excellence here at the Comic Book Daily offices. We are constantly coming up with new and interesting ideas for content. It will come as no surprise that CBD is pretty stoked about the Avengers movie and we had a long list of activities...
