Here is a stunning Galactus commission by Tommy Lee Edwards, blasting the Eiffel tower with a tiny Silver Surfer doing a flyby. Wow.
Turf from Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards looked interesting; 1929 New York with a vampire problem and aliens. After reading it I think they should have done 1929 New York with vampires and a second book with 1929 New…
The third issue of the series that will split the X-Men in two hit stands last week. Check out CBD's exclusive review on the growing divide between Cyclops and Wolverine.
Fan Expo is this week and here’s my Pick Five: top five Fan Expo guests. Completely my opinion but that is the one that matters most…to me. 5. Chris Claremont I can’t remember the last time I saw Claremont at…
Mirror Mind is a compelling autobiography of Tory Woollcott‘s childhood as she struggles to overcome dyslexia. The story is very engrossing. Parts of it can make you laugh, cry and angry at what Tory goes through. Dyslexia is a learning…
I’m a fan of Humberto Ramos and his very unique art style. It’s not for everyone but if you’re a fan then you probably pick up all his work. Which I thought I had until I read somewhere on the…

This weeks Pick 5 is a little bit different. Since there are many lists that feature “this day in”, I thought I would try it here. So this week’s Pick 5 are big events in a given year. The year…
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.
Making my way through my local comic shop’s discount shelf I came across The Authority: Relentless, the first volume of the award winning series. I hadn’t read this since the individual issues came out and it deserved a second look.…
Is there a market for variants, and if so how long does it last? Do variants have any legs as a back issue collectible?
The hammers of the worthy have plummeted to the earth, with each recipient now serving an ancient god of fear. One of these hammers arrived in the hands of Ben Grimm, better known as the Thing. Now an unstoppable abomination, Thing rampages throughout his neighbourhood while former prisoners of the raft run loose--among them the fear mirroring fiend known as Monster and Purple Man. The only thing standing in their way? Paladin, Gargoyle, Shroud and Elektra.
On a previous Pick 5, I highlighted 5 songs that feature Superheroes While reflecting on this Pick 5, I thought of music that has been featured in comic book movies. Comic book movie soundtracks feature many songs, but some don’t…

Another lost (to me) treasure discovered on the used shelf of my local comic shop, Catwoman: Relentless. Always a fan of Brubaker at the time I didn’t care for Stewart or Pulido’s clean lines and simplified styles; now I can’t…
