Hey there! Did you miss me? Well I missed you guys or at least I began to. As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been on sabbatical for a few weeks due to a combination of personal dealings (I’m moving), other work (I’ve added two other writing gigs in the past month)...

This week join our hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija as they discuss January comic book sales, some Super Bowl trailer trash, the new DC Watchmen prequel and Alan Moore’s opinion of it (not good), Image turning 20 and Diamond turning 30, Barnes and Noble vs. Amazon, Gaiman vs....

On this week's episode of the "Comfy Couch," Andrew Ardizzi chimes in on the recent DC announcement to move forward with 'Watchmen' prequels.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day! What is it? Well it is the day to commemorate the Gunpowder Plot that happened in 1605.  On that day Guy Fawkes and a group of other conspirators tried to assassinate the King of England. What does this mean to comic book fans? Alan Moore wrote a classic comic book...

If you think you’ve read this particular column before, I wouldn’t blame you. I first covered rumors of a Watchmen sequel/prequel nearly two years ago (Scott: previous column). At the time, there wasn’t much attached to idea in terms of names attached (Grant Morrison was a...

Last week, I had a number of special guests write about who they thought was the best superhero ever. From music guru Alan Cross to librarian Genevieve Kwant, the people and responses to the question and interpretations of the question were rather varied. But I never answered the question for...

Blue Beetle #1, Charlton Comics, June 1967 Steve Ditko is one of the true giants of comic books. Ditko’s two major contributions, co-created with Stan Lee, were Dr. Strange and the Amazing Spiderman. In subsequent interviews Ditko has downplayed Lee’s contribution to the Spider-Man...

So right now I’m in the middle of research for something. Can’t really say what because honestly it might fall apart and I’ll be in the corner crying. But I’ve still got to put in some work so unfortunately this week, no huge diatribe about any one particular...

Every week CBD’s Editor in Chief Pete DeCourcy asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers, we’ll be doing this for 52 weeks. Tip of the hat goes to the gang at Scans_Daily for the inspiration. This Week’s Q: What is the greatest uncollected storyline in...

Kids today have it so easy. They have the internet; they don’t need to get up off the couch to change the channel and in the last 10 years we have seen some great movies based on comic books. However, for every yin there is a yang and we have also seen a lot of crummy comic book movies...

*to be sung to Duran Duran’s Girls on Film – Pete Like a lot of comic fans, I love it when I hear the words “(insert title) will begin filming early next year. Based on the popular comic book, (insert title) could look to smash box office records”… or something to that...

Comic Culture delivers a really fun show for you this week. Hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija discuss the shelving of the Wonder Woman TV series (thanks Disney), Jason Aaron’s great rebuttal to some Alan Moore comments, Stan Lee’s cameo in Spider-Man 4, Brimstone and the...

Wherein Pete talks rambles on about Jim Rugg's use of sound effects, Toby Cypress' new graphic Novel Rodd Racer, pesters Image about Rocketo and yearns for the years when the Superheroes of Britain considered Canada a colony.

Last week I took a look at my favorite comics of the year and the normal thing to do at this point is to crack into the worst of last year…except honestly there wasn’t a lot of bad I actually read last year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there was a ton of crap out...

Welcome back loyal readers, I hope my adventures were enough to keep you satisfied until my regular column returned this week.  This week we’re going to do a grab bag and a few reviews.  I guess we should start at some sad news first. It seems the story of Steve Perry is ending rather...

Alan Moore sits down with Hoax of www.thisishoax.com and talks about how excited he is for the release of his third issue of his underground art magazine Dodgem Logic. He speaks with humour and much praise for all the columns within. He then performs “Magic” as only Alan Moore...

So this week I decided to do a bit of dreaming. A lot of people like fantasy football or various mythical match ups for UFC fights so why can’t I do the same for comics? Before I begin I would like to point out that none of these are rumors I have heard, things that I know, etc etc. If...

When I was – god.. let’s just say younger ..I happened upon a Swamp Thing cartoon. At the time I thought it was all kinds of awesome. I mean, I had no idea who Swamp Thing was – not really – and this cartoon was essentially about a guy covered in moss who could do stuff...
