Diary of a Comic Book Goddess: Superman and the Citizenship Debac...

In Action Comics #900, Superman, realizing that the United States of America is no longer the centre of the universe and that we are very much living in a global society, says that he intends to renounce his U.S. citizenship because he’s kind of annoyed that people are assuming that he’s...

Pick Five | Belt Buckles

I thought it was time to buy another belt buckle. I love them. I have a bunch of different styles and switch them regularly. I started searching online and found lots of really cool looking belt buckles. Here are some of my favourites I found.

Crazy Comic Covers: Lois Lane #110 “Indian Death ChargeR...

The Cover: Unless Lois Lane happened to get freaky-deaky with a Native American at some point in the comics and had a baby real quick, it’s safe to say that she has stolen someone’s baby. I can only imagine years of pining after Superman without any success have finally snapped her...

This week hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija talk about the new Future Foundation comic book, the just past Wizard World Toronto show, Spider-Man and Superman movie news, Stephen King writing a Walking Dead episode, collectible Thor movie tickets and lots more. So kick back, relax and...

Just A Thought | Death is Overused

As I’ve previously mentioned on a few occasions, I’m a pretty big fan of pro wrestling. And as I’ve previously mentioned on those previous occasions, yes, I’m well aware that it’s scripted. I like my stories, OK? Wrestlemania is upon the horizon (don’t...

Comic Culture February 23rd

This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija discuss a possible new direction for the X-Men, a possible role for Kevin Costner in the new Superman movie, a possible improvement to the poorly received Spider-Man Broadway musical and a whole bunch of other stuff. Now just kick...

Review | Superman: Secret Origin

Over Christmas I had a chance to read Superman: Secret Origin The Deluxe Edition hardcover.  I’ve been a long-term Gary Frank fan so I knew what to expect with the art, and Geoff Johns is a major powerhouse at DC so this couldn’t end up a disaster.  Here’s the...

It’s a Bird. It’s a plane. It’s…Henry Cavill? Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have officially announced their new Superman and it’s Henry Cavill.  Unsure of the name?  He’s best known for playing Charles Brandon on the historical drama, The...

Crazy Comic Covers: Lois Lane #93 "The Superman-Wonder Woman...

The Cover: What can I say? It’s Wonder Woman flipping Lois Lane over her head while Superman is sitting on a rock enjoying the show. Why are they fighting? Well, because Wonder Woman is apparently like the bully at the beach who kicks sand in your face and takes off with your girl. Superman...

WHOSOEVER HOLDS THIS HAMMER: New Costumes Suck

Whosoever Holds This Hammer appears every Tuesday (more or less) exclusively on Comic Book Daily. Clothes make the man. Or in our case, the superman. Or woman. Or alien creature from parts unknown. My point is that a costume is a key part of the identity of a superhero and, by extension, the...

Jiminy Christmas! | Absolute Mistake

DC solicitations for March 2011 went online yesterday and I was shocked, shocked, to see Absolute Promethea Volume 3 solicited. The final Absolute edition of Alan Moore’s epic collects issues #24-32 with the spectacular artwork of J.H. Williams III! ADVANCE SOLICITED • On sale AUGUST 17,...

JMS leaving monthlies to work on Earth-One Sequel: Fine, your mon...

So, JMS has decided to leave monthly comics behind and focus exclusively on writing the sequel to Superman Earth One according to the DC Source blog. Well, I don’t have a problem with that since he simply hasn’t been doing a very good job with the DC books. He had a great run with...

Just A Thought | Funeral For A Friend

After doing my usual comic book website reading, I noticed that Doomsday was set to return to the DC Universe, but apparently not running into Superman. While I think a lot of his original impact has been lost, Doomsday happens to be part of one of my favorite storylines in...

Buy This Now: Absolute All Star Superman

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...

Will No One Shell Out Big Bucks For This Classic Superman Cover?

Above you see Fred Ray’s patriotic 1942 cover to Superman #14 Arguably one of those crazy iconic covers that’s been homaged and or just straight up ripped off by a generation of comic artists. The cover was from the collection of Jerry Robinson, the creator of The Joker (among many...

The Big Comic Comfy Couch: Episode 2 – Superman Earth One

It took me a lot longer to get my hands on one of these than I would have liked, but last Wednesday on a trip to Silver Snail prior to watching the Toronto Raptors DEMOLISH the 76ers, I found one. Yay! I suppose then with all the hype attached to this particular story leading to its release,...
