Points of interest from the comics interweb; I sort the chaff so you only get the wheat. Should I have a catchy superhero name like Wheatman or Chaff Smasher?

A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last seven days. Great stuff by Watterson, Mignola, Miller, Rude and many more!

Oh look, a Batman cover from Francesco Francavilla in that retro pulp style of his.  Very nice.  What’s that?  It’s a Black Panther cover for issue 529?  Wow: DC, get that lawyer patrol on the case. And why is Black Panther still using Daredevil’s issue...

First off every title is getting a collection of at least six issues, so DC clearly has no plans to cancel any of their New 52 titles within the first six months. Since they required books to be done well in advance I'd hazard a guess they already have at least six issues ready to go.

New York Comicon 2011 just passed and here are my top five announcements. Dive right in.

I will admit, I haven’t really been following the new 52 that hard. As I’ve stated before, I’m basically a “wait for the trade” guy but I have looked at titles I’m thinking of getting in trade and overall, I’ve got some questions. Maybe some are...

A trailer has been released for Batman: Year One animated direct to DVD feature film. Based on the clip I have two impressions: it’s very close to the comic and I don’t care Batman’s voice. But that’s just...

This past weekend I toured a couple of comic shops.  One was my local favourite (Blue Beetle), the other was a comic shop in downtown T.O.  I thought I would just check things out.  See what was in stock.  Get a feel for what was selling.  See what was already sold out.  The comic shop...

Today is the big day for the DC 52 relaunch with the release of Justice League issue one.  I received an email this morning at 7:00 AM EDT proclaiming “Buy Now At The DC Digital Comics Store“.  Here’s the message in case they change it later. I quickly clicked the link and...

This week, I managed to make it into the Friday of Fan Expo. Arriving for the start of the show, you could definitely see that this was going to be a busy day at the show, even before the big Saturday. I spent the first couple hours wandering around checking out some of the deals vendors were...

Making my way through my local comic shop’s discount shelf I came across The Authority: Relentless, the first volume of the award winning series.  I hadn’t read this since the individual issues came out and it deserved a second look. After witnessing the demise of most...

DC has released an updated FAQ to retailers about their New 52 relaunch. It's very in-depth.
