Last week the movie posters were released for this summer’s G.I. Joe Retaliation. One of the posters featured was of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock. Dwayne Johnson also had a recent successful appearance at Wrestlemania, which proved he is…
Judd Winick. His name polarizes comic book readers it seems. Gracing everything from Green Lantern to Green Arrow, and up to and including Outsiders and Batman, the writer returns to the Batman universe for a three issue arc on Batman and Robin with a story centered on the character he brought back from the grave. Jason Todd returns in this issue, but just what is up his sleeve is anyone's guess. Onward ho!
Kids today have it so easy. They have the internet; they don’t need to get up off the couch to change the channel and in the last 10 years we have seen some great movies based on comic books. However,…
“Under normal circumstances, I would follow Morrison and his ongoing Bat-narrative into the next title hosting it, but that new title is going to experience a 33% price increase, which is just way too much for me to be able…
Disclaimer: I don't know what this is, it's not organized nor is it well thought out - it's just a gut reaction ramble to Grant Morrison's work. It's more about celebrating someone who is pushing the superhero medium into it's next level. If you can handle that... read on.
If you know anything about me at this point it’s that I am absolutely head over heels in love with Frank Quitely’s art. I think he’s the most dynamic and exciting artists today. So in saying that I’ve become completely…
I’m a big fan of trades and hardcovers. I like having complete chapters to read. My typical Wednesday ritual is to go to the comic shop, gab with with the employees and some of the customers for a bit and…
I had interviewed Cameron Stewart last year at Fan Expo just before word had broken about his three issue stint on Grant Morrison’s Batman & Robin. This shouldn’t really have come as much of a surprise as Stewart been a…
DC Comics announced this morning that Frazer Irving will follow Andy Clarke as artist on Batman and Robin beginning with June’s Issue 13. Irving, who collaborated with writer Grant Morrison on 2005’s Seven Soldiers: Klarion the Witch Boy, joins an…
Last night I had one of the best reading experiences. All the titles really only had one thing in common: great comics. Now most of these books are old, and for whatever reason I only recently picked them up. These…
Things that I Enjoyed in My Comics This week includes spoilers, and plenty of them. So consider this your warning. You’ve been warned, so don’t read it unless you’re willing to be spoiled. Got it? Dan Slott explains away all…
The DC Blog starts Monday off right with some wonderful Cameron Stewart pencils for Batman and Robin #8. For those of you who didn’t get to read #7 – then here’s what you missed out on. Batman is currently in…
BATMAN AND ROBIN #6 hits 11/11 and DC was kind enough to give us a sneak peek at the ending of the Red Hood storyline and at what appears to be the greatest mob hitman of all time – The…
I’ve been consistently blown away by Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin. It’s like this awesome mixture of all these elements that make Batman, hell, comics awesome all put together into one monthly issue. I suppose one of the reasons is…
I’m very protective of Batman. It’s a problem I have as a person that I really think I should get checked out. You see I honestly believe that Batman is one of – if not THE – best literary character…
One of CBD’s favourite artists’ Cameron Stewart has finally let slip the secret project that he hinted at back at our interview at Fan Expo. His twitter this morning read: So that secret project I’ve been teasing about? It’s BATMAN…
I’m jumping on the bandwagon for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, but if this is true and not just a bunch of comic fans really looking at something too much, it’s pretty damned cool. So, here’s the…
