I’m moving soon. It sort of sucks. Not that I’m moving for any bad reasons really. I’m moving in with my girlfriend (who is incredibly pro-comic book) and I’m lucky in the respect that due to my living situation I get plenty of time to move my stuff in slowly.  This is...

I’m not a fan of horror books or themes but the story just grabbed me; never would have picked it up but I’m a fan of Allred’s art.  iZombie: Dead To The World is about a young girl and her group of friends trying to make it through the day, except she’s a zombie. ...

Pete DeCourcy would have made a pretty good drug dealer. A year or two ago, it was Christmas time, I was in The Blue Beetle and I was looking for something new to try out. “Have you read Criminal yet?” “Well…no…” Pete looked at me like one looks at a sad...

Nothing about this book from the outside interested me in the least.  When this collection was published site after comics site sang it’s praises so I decided to pick up Daytripper from Vertigo.  Here’s the publisher’s blurb: What are the most important days of your life?...

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...

Brent takes a look at Paul Cornell's reintroduction of Neil Gaiman's Death into the DC Universe. Warning, the following review and discussion probably has a ton of spoilers.

Well it’s time for another random group of comic news and commentary, so strap on your helmets, it’s time for a Grab bag edition of Just a Thought! Image United issue 3 is out. Yup, months late and any general interest in the book by those few of us who pined for our nostaliga...

Before I dive into this fascinating and edge-of-your-seat topic a little background information may be in order.  Welcome to the first column of Bound Together: collecting the collected, a look at comic book trade paperbacks and graphic novels in all their shapes and sizes.  I have been a...

Well with convention season in full swing, I thought it was time for a look into the crystal ball and take a look and see what we may have in store for the future. Before we begin, these predictions are based on theories, a bit of evidence and some detective work. NOTHING I am predicting has...

So as more and more news about the walking dead TV show starts to dribble out, I’m hoping more and more that it’ll succeed. It’s got a great director in Frank Darabont stewarding the project, it’s lined up a pretty interesting leading man in Andrew Lincoln, and I hope as more and more...

I’ve been salivating at the mouth waiting for more word on “Revolver,” an original graphic novel coming this July from “3 Story: The Secret History of the Giant Man” creator Matt Kindt. Matt Kindt is a wonderkind of a creator. His storytelling uses all the tricks...

The Vertigo blog, Graphic Content, just released the following covers. My god, Vertigo probably has the best cover artists working today. Enjoy the...

I’ve been a huge fan of Jeff Lemire. If I get enough drinks into me and I’m getting pretty emotional urge me to talk about the end of Essex County vol 2. Seriously, the scene where all the hockey players show up and start tapping their sticks… well, let’s just say that...

Vertigo’s blog just announced that Grant Morrison and Sean Murphy’s Joe the Barbarian mini-series is now going from three issues to eight issues. This is pretty good news, especially once you guys get a look at the preview pages we have. Sean Murphy is responsible for some of the...
