"Defenders #3" arrived on comic shelves last week. Andrew Ardizzi takes a look at the issue this week for Comic Book Daily.

How was your Fan Expo weekend? Glad to hear it. How was mine? Oh you know, My FF workshop was the buzz of the internet for a weekend, Brian Azzarello, Jill Thompson and Matt Fraction tried to convince me to get engaged during a panel and Hayden Panettiere is really, really short. Here’s...

Marvel comics writer Matt Fraction took Fan Expo in Toronto to new levels of fun during various panels discussing the future of some of our favorite superheroes. Friday and Saturday of Fan Expo, Fraction attended two Marvel panels to speak on Fear Itself and coming story lines involving...

There’s nothing to fear except fear itself. In this case, the characters of the Marvel universe are faced with their worst fears as the Serpent slithers into their lives. Those fears are made reality as one by one they lose their own, and one by one they realize they may not win this battle. The Serpent has risen, and the tide of the battle may have swung forever against their favour.

Fear reigns and some of Marvel's physically strongest characters now carry mystical hammers, using them to strike fear in the hearts of their former allies. How can they stand to fight when their worst fears are coming to life? Even more, can they?

Marvel's summer blockbuster mini-series continues with issue three of Fear Itself. Facing down the Norse god of fear, Marvel's superheroes continue to lose some of their own ranks with every new mystical hammer that falls from the sky. At this point it can't get any worse, right? Forward march!

Writer: Matt Fraction Pencils: Stuart Immonen Colours: Laura Martin Letters: Chris Eliopoulos Cover: Stuart Immonen; Steve McNiven Publisher: Marvel Comics   Issue two of Marvel’s huge summer blockbuster series is upon us. I felt the first issue was a little underwhelming, but...

Hobbystar has really pulled out all the stops to make sure that the customers are getting the most out of the now 4 day convention. Announced earlier today, the guestline up is quite the who's who of the comic world. Check out the list inside.

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!

Paul Gravett takes a look at the works of Milo Manara. Really wonderful read, though it is NSFW due to nudity. Manara can’t draw a woman that doesn’t look like she’s not in the midst of an orgasm. He also probably draws the best asses this side of Brandon Graham. I spent...

Wherein Pete talks up Bryan Lee O'Malley, Jason Armstrong's Ferro City, the gang at ComicTwart and links you to a cool old Alex Toth story. Warning: Contains a Moebius gif that will destroy your mind and leave you feeling awesome.

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!

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...

Warning! Most of the links (and this article is very link heavy) in this article are definitely NSFW! I chuckled when I saw the little jab taken at Barry Richardman in Uncanny X-Men #528. As the Marvel Universe’s stand-in for Terry Richardson (AKA “Uncle Terry“), it appears...

Writer: Matt Fraction Artist: Whilce Portacio Inker: Ed Tadeo Colours: Brian Reber Letters: Joe Caramagna Cover: Terry and Rachel Dodson This is a story about a girl named Hope. We’re now a few issues into the first REAL X-Men arc post-Second Coming and we find our mutant messiah globe...

If – two years ago – you would have told me that Kieron Gillen would be writing the shit out of Marvel Comics I’d probably have told you that you’re being a bit over confident. Gillen is a fantastic writer, but I wasn’t exactly sure that his vision would meld well...
