It’s been a pretty good few years for the Fantastic Four/Future Foundation (no matter what Eddie Campbell says). After being largely neglected by the comics community at large – probably since the Waid/Wieringo era – it seems like the books has a renewed interest thanks...

Last week FF #6 was released. If you haven’t been following along, FF is the Future Foundation, the evolution of the Fantastic Four without The Human Torch Johnny Storm.  Spider-Man has been added to the FF roster.  And the team is still based out of the Baxter Building.  This should...

Every week Comic Book Daily 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 a great interview composition from Don Heck contained this...

Wherein Peter links you to Michael Chabon's appreciation of Phantom Tollbooth, and then fills you in on Chabon's comic credentials. After which he showcases the impossibly talented Tom Fowler and some other stuff!

Characters are people too, essentially. They are characters, obviously, but at their heart what makes a character in any comic special is their humanization by the creators of that particular book. At the same time, if we have invested ourselves in a character, what happens to them SHOULD...

ComicLink January Focused Auction The ComicLink January Focused Auction has just ended. True to ComicLink form 19 of the top 20 sales were Marvels. DC’s only top 20 book was a Rocky Mountain Pedigree copy of Detective Comics #359 (CGC 9.8) that took 3rd spot fetching a cool $9,300.00....

Two Items of Awesomeness Through TUMBLR! First we Have Dan Hipp (Amazing Joy Buzzards and Gyakushu!) showing us what Shadowlands could have been had it not been hampered by Billy Tan’s art. And then the lovely Gail Simone lets us know just who the best father in the DC Universe...

After finishing volume 1 I moved quickly into Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman Volume 2.  Here’s the publisher’s blurb: Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham’s critically acclaimed run continues in the Prime Elements, a story that kicks off the...

Based on the title I get the distinct feeling I should know who Jonathan Hickman is, but I still don’t.  I’ve always been a Fantastic Four fan but I haven’t been reading it for a few years so Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman Volume 1 seemed like a good point to jump in. ...

My Greatest Adventure #80,  DC Comics, June 1963 This comic book has the perfect mix of history, controversy, age and quality to make it a must have. First off there is a bit of a dispute revolving around the creative team. Though writers Arnold Drake, Bob Haney, artist Bruno Premiani and...

I’ve been sleeping on Orc Stain ..mostly because I’m looking forward to getting a collected edition (yes, I’m killing the industry) but that doesn’t mean I’m not supportive of the creator in other ways. For example: I follow Orc Stain’s writer/artist James...

Reimagination of the Day: Redesigned comic book covers — part of an ongoing series by British graphic design Steven Finch (AKA Fonografiks). Watchmen; Fantastic Four; Hulk; Daredevil: Born Again. Pretty awesome...

Though officially listed as Rich Buckler art, most of this comic was actually drawn by Canadian Vince Marchesano

This is all the e-mail said: “THERE IS CHAOS IN THE UNDERWORLD.” Then this image from Fantastic Four #575. Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham’s Fantastic Four run has – thus far – been incredibly solid. When you’ve got a title like FF that – essentially...

My love for Doctor Doom knows no bounds. I mean – let’s be honest here – were you to meet a young child named Victor Von Doom you would probably follow him around just to see the wacky stuff he gets up to. The fact that he only has a metal mask he never takes off, dabbles in...

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of what Dale Eaglesham and Jonathan Hickman are doing with the Fantastic Four – specifically with Reed Richards. Taking Reed away from the troubled distant (possibly asperger) Reed and making him more of a Tom Strong type pulp science hero is one...
