Really I’m talking about Boxing Day sales, but for those not living in Commonwealth nations I thought to provide a title that would be universally understood. Comic stores don’t run a lot of sales in general: most have something along the lines of an anniversary sale and then...

I read a good amount of comic news every day, subscribing via RSS to the bulk of comic related websites.  Unfortunately I find the bulk of it a waste of time, scrolling on by. The big news this week has been the conviction of Micheal George, a former comic retailer who murdered his wife. ...

This week marks my second anniversary as a columnist for Comic Book Daily so in a semi-self congratulatory mood, I figured I’d take a look back at the past two years and let you in on some of my favorite moments and the behind the scenes of those moments. Now to be fair the beginning of...

I kind of sat on this one for a little bit; surprisingly no one really wrote much about it. Rob Liefeld was prompted on twitter to explain the status of his Kirkman penned Killraven series which lead to a back and forth between Liefeld and Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort. The end of the fight...

Welcome to This Month in Previews where we take a look at the catalogue that all comic book stores order from and pick out the cool stuff we want and by extension you should want! David’s picks: Free Comic Book Day T-Shirt (Page 27, 14.99-17.99) This is just an awesome t-shirt. The...

Sometimes as a critic and reviewer you get caught up in your job. In my column over the past months, I’ve talked about a lot of the bad in comics or stuff I don’t really agree with. I’ve also talked about the stuff I like and that I hope for. But I’ve never actually...

Convention Tip #1. Develop a game plan. Yes, the convention season is about to kick into high gear and getting as prepared as you can will greatly increase your chances of
