Last week the second wave of DC's New 52 hit shelves, among them the first issue of the relaunched Action Comics penned by star writer Grant Morrison. This week we're taking a look at the first issue of DC's most renowned series.

DC held a panel on Aug. 27 focusing on the DC 52 relaunch, where creators talked about their work, while new projects were also unveiled.

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...

Pete thinks that Geoff Johns needs to put more of himself on the page and then talks about how awesome Concrete is. Pretty typical stuff!

The second day of Wizard World’s Toronto Comic Con was my first of the three day stretch, and already I have to say that this year’s event is much better than the inaugural event last year. It was too spacious, did not have enough worthwhile guests, and although I respect...

In which Peter takes wild leaps about Grant Morrison's evolution as a comic writer, wonders how is the right way to write a comic, talks up the amazing Emily Carroll and asks you to suggest him some good books.

So. Did you guys get anything good this week? I know I did. Damn you Scalped – you find a new way to break my heart every time. There’s a strange emotional weight tied to each and every issue of Scalped. I don’t know if I’ve put it there having grown attached to pretty...

Wherein Peter talks about Kanye + Comics, Colleen Coover's Robin, the lack of multicultural superheroes and the death of Wizard Magazine.

In which Peter talks about Women employed by the Batman Incorporated, The Shadow, Who is Jake Ellis and other such things. He also goes off on a weird tangent about Matt Fraction and the Ramones which doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. But hey, you be the judge!

Wherein Pete discusses numerous subjects that enter his mind. Including Mark Bagley's return to Marvel, Jason Aaron, Bendis and Geoff Johns, Zot and 20th Century boys. Oh and Daredevil.. lots of Daredevil.

I was 8 when my grandfather showed me Danger: Diabolik. To this day I still have no idea why he showed me it. It was pretty out there. Very 60s. Filled with crazy cuts, zooms and of course garish colours. That said it was all kinds of awesome to my 8 year old self. For those of you unfamiliar...

I think we can all agree that All Star Superman is the best Superman story since Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow; if you disagree let me know in the comments.. but if you remain quiet, I’ll just assume that my statement is 100% correct. Morrison has always had a good handle on...

Cameron Stewart posted his amazing “pencils” from Batman and Robin #16 on his blog the other day. I would love to buy the original pages! Too bad they’re aren’t any. From Cameron Stewart’s blog post: Unfortunately, none of these pages are for sale…as they don’t exist! I...

So two Batman topics came up this week that I think might need discussing. To warn you now, the second topic towards the bottom will be filled with spoilers of the latest issue of Batman and Robin. So after the bit about The Dark Knight Rises. We cool? Alright then. The Dark Knight Rises So...
