Just A Thought: DC’s First Wave

First Wave #1 (DC)

Written by Brian Azzarello
Drawn by Rags Morales
I hate when promotion drops the ball on something I’m waiting for especially when it turns out it’s something I end up liking.
As I duly noted last week, I love the old pulp characters, Doc Savage, The Spider, The Shadow, etc. I’m also a big [...]

Doc Savage is Making Quite the Comeback

There seems to be a bit of weird synergy going on. Brian Azzarello is currently mapping out grand plans for the the reintroduction of the pulp heroes of yesteryear with his First Wave project. (What a terrible name, couldn’t they have come up with something better? Hell, I’d accept Age of Bronze.. Eric Shanower be [...]

Just A Thought: Booster Gold

My comic shop is Blue Beetle Comics in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
I’ve been going there for about two years now. The staff is knowledgeable, fun and most importantly the store is clean and it’s easy to find stuff. On the off chance you can’t find something, the staff knows where to look and 90% of the [...]

Brightest Day: Flash

From the DCU Blog:

AS: In meetings I’ve heard BRIGHTEST DAY referred to, offhand, as DCU: REBIRTH. Being the sleuth I am, this leads me to believe it’s more than just a concentrated series, right?
DD: Definitely. BRIGHTEST DAY isn’t just a single book. Like BLACKEST NIGHT, it’s an event that happens across the entire DC Universe, [...]

DC Announces the War of The Supermen

Superman seems like the hardest character to get people to really care about. It seems we’re either rehashing his origin or we’re killing him off. DC took a pretty big risk with the whole Planet Krypton storyline – let’s be honest – Superman comics don’t sell the greatest as is, and making the series focus [...]

Crazy Comic Cover: Jimmy Olsen #98 “The Bride of Jungle Jimmy”

Jimmy Olsen #98: “The Bride of Jungle Jimmy”

The cover: Oh yes, another classic Jimmy Olsen cover from the brilliant minds at DC. Readers will note that this will not be the only time that Jimmy Olsen marries an ape on the cover of a comic book. They were quite fond of rehashing old ideas. But [...]

DC announces Plans for a Wednesday Comics Collection

Contrary to what David thought of Wednesday Comics, most people did enjoy the effort. It was fun and different and gave us some really great comics (Seriously, Kyle Baker’s Hawkman was amazing, Paul Pope’s Adam Strange was totally gorgeous and daring and well it goes without saying that Risso and Azzarello’s Batman was all kinds [...]
