Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Anything by Travis Charest goes right onto my “must have” list; he’s an amazing artist that seems to keep getting better. Unfortunately he also seems to be getting slower with new work sorely lacking. I anxiously awaited Weapons Of The…
Rob Granito is having a rough week. The picture on the right is now being used on Facebook profile pages. Starting last Thursday, Bleeding Cool published a story about a guy named Rob Granito, comic artist. So why the story?…
Welcome to another installment of Pick Five, where one of our writers picks five of whatever comic related “fill in the blank” that tickles their fancy. Monkeys are awesome. And so are ninjas. So this Pick Five really needs no preamble.…
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…
Captain Marvel #34, Marvel Comics, September 1974 Another undervalued Captain Marvel? Are you crazy? My Undervalued #77 already featured the too cheap issue #50. This spotlight features the even more neglected Captain Marvel #34. This has to be the most overlooked and…
The Comics Journal is the longest running North American publication dedicated to the comics medium. They recently completed a massive change to their website with a new look and new creative team. One item that just came to my attention…
This is my first blog post for Comic Book Daily. I thought my first post would be an introduction of sorts and show you where my interest in comics lie. I look forward to writing more columns, but for now,…
Check out the new Captain America: The First Avenger trailer. Enjoy!
Every week Comic Book Daily asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers; we’ll be doing this for 52 weeks. Tip of the hat goes to the gang at Scans Daily for the inspiration. This week’s…
Here I’m going to discuss how to manage your collection lists: what you have and what you’re looking for. This was sparked by a friend on the weekend at Wizard World Toronto pulling a piece of paper out of his…
ComicLink March Focused Auction The ComicLink March Focused Auction has just ended. This time around I want to focus on a “Tale of Two Comics”. Amazing Spider-Man #1 (ASM #1) and Journey into Mystery #83 (JIM #83) are two comics…
So I was going to do a big article on The Walking Dead DVD: it is coming but I felt I had to address a few something that came up a lot this weekend. Why I wasn’t at Wizard World…
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…
Whosoever Holds This Hammer appears every Tuesday (more or less) exclusively on Comic Book Daily. Comic book conventions are funny animals: you first approach them full of wonder, but after 50 or 60 shows you don’t get quite as excited.…
Due to naughty talk, some naughty language, and generally adult themes, reader discretion is advised. There are a couple of things that I have to clear up with regards to this interview before I go on to post it. First…
On opening day of Wizard World Toronto 2011 I had the chance to chat with Jesus Merino for about an hour. It was totally unexpected so I wasn’t prepared for it in any way; no notepad or recorder, just a…
I attended the full first day of Wizard World, roaming the floor from 4:00 – 9:00 PM. The exhibit hall was significantly smaller than last year and it seemed a better fit, less cavernous. During my initial pre-show walk around…
Welcome to another installment of Pick Five, where one of our writers picks five of whatever comic related “fill in the blank” that tickles their fancy. Everyone knows that monkeys are awesome, and comic books have a special place for our…
Arthur Suydam, cover artist for Marvel Zombies, brings classical style and oil painting to his horrific creations and constructions depicting the superhero apocalypse. Suydam said Marvel Zombies was a good match for him because of his background as an anatomical…
Day three of the Wizard World Comic Con came and went, but it wasn’t nearly as bustling as it had been on Saturday. Being that it was much easier to get around the convention floor today, there was less of…
Ahhh…the last day of con. Though it was much quieter than yesterday, it was still quite busy. The only real annoyance was that the hall itself was quite cool. I had on a long sleeve shirt, a t-shirt, and a…
