52Q | #58: Sex & Violence

Back by popular demand, Comic Book Daily asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers. Tip of the hat goes to Scott VanderPloeg for this week’s question. Violence, scantily clad women, sexuality, Batman and Catwoman's recent escapades, etc. This weeks 52Q: Is adult subject matter in comics hurting or helping its ability to reach new readers?

Batman Year One Nov15

Batman Year One

Being one of my favourite origin stories I was anxious to see Batman Year One translated to the big screen. A classic story by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, focusing on Bruce Wayne and James Gordon as they adapt to their new lives in Gotham. In a nutshell this is the most faithful...

Auction Highlights #58

ComicLink October 2011 Focused Auction The ComicLink Focused Auction has just ended. OK I thought September’s ComicLink Auction was Marvel heavy but boy this was even worse! There was only 1 DC in the top 75 and that of course was our old standby Green Lantern #76. A nice CGC 9.6 GL #76 went...

A Little Bit Of Everything

This week I couldn’t think of one thing to write about, but I could think about a whole bunch of little things. Arkham City Like most of you (hopefully) I picked up my copy of Batman Arkham City last week.  I was going to wait until it was available for a better price (I hate shelling...

Catwoman: Relentless Aug05

Catwoman: Relentless

Another lost (to me) treasure discovered on the used shelf of my local comic shop, Catwoman: Relentless.  Always a fan of Brubaker at the time I didn’t care for Stewart or Pulido’s clean lines and simplified styles; now I can’t get enough. Triumph and tragedy are...

Guillem March Catwoman

I saw this in a post but have forgotten where or what issue it’s from: an upcoming Catwoman cover by Guillem March.  It’s such a striking pose and can be telling so much.  Is she doing a quick getaway, half-dressed with loot and a cat in her bag?  Gunshots and breaking glass? ...

Auteur Theory

So the DC Comic Solicits were released yesterday to a big underwhelming thud. It’s not that there weren’t any interesting ideas shown; see the wonderful solicit for Wonder Woman. It’s just I’m underwhelmed with a sense of not caring. I think my main problem is, for the...

Suddenly/Maybe… | I&...

Pete talks about his biggest shame as a Paul Pope fan, his love of Brian McLachlan, showcases Derek Charm's Hanna Barbera Seven Soldiers and babbles about Audrey Hepburn's body type. (It. Gets. Weird.)
