Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Hi folks, welcome to ARCHIE G’s. I’m your waiter, Raoul. Here at ARCHIE G’s, we don’t think you can make a dependable Pull List decision based on the first serving of a comic. Publishers throw everything they’ve got at a…
52 weeks. 52 different writers. 2 trade paperbacks or hardcovers a week. Each week I’ll take a look at a different writer and read two different collected editions from within that person’s repertoire to help in the examination of their work: Scott Snyder.
If you love horror comics, or even supernatural stories, this is a perfect comic for you as you'll get huge 250 page book filled from cover to cover with quality work from the writers and artists who offered their time to work on the project without any compensation up front. These ladies and gentlemen love their craft and love writing and drawing within the horror genre, and if you're a fan of their work or the genre itself you should support this project. The $50 perk is a great reward on its own, but if you're outside the U.S. and are squeamish about the extra shipping cost, getting the $10 digital PDF version is a great option
I've come to the conclusion that, as much as I love good comic art, it's good writing that keeps me coming back for more.

This weekend in ol’ Blighty saw the Kapow! comic convention role into town, boldly claiming the London Business Design Centre as its own for 2 full days in the capital’s North East. The show was much hyped online by the English…
With the next big event in the UK scene fast approaching, I thought it best to open the box on the ‘Kapow!’ ComicCon and break it into little nuggets of joy for all to nibble as they see fit. I…
Batman is on trial as the mythic Court of Owls is closing in on the Dark Knight. Issue five of the relaunched series was released last week, bringing with it new revelations about the shadowy cabal purportedly to have run Gotham since the pioneer days.
Issue one of the new Batman series hit store shelves last week, perhaps the premier title of the third week of DC Comics' relaunch. The book features Scott Snyder at the helm as Bruce Wayne is formally returned to the scene of his greatest triumphs and failures: Gotham.
So the DC Comic Solicits were released yesterday to a big underwhelming thud. It’s not that there weren’t any interesting ideas shown; see the wonderful solicit for Wonder Woman. It’s just I’m underwhelmed with a sense of not caring. I…
Every week CBD’s Editor in Chief Pete DeCourcy 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.…
I love Batman. Maybe not as much as this guy, but maybe that’s a good thing. The last four years have been a very good time to be a Batman fan. Grant Morrison has been giving us a run that…
I don’t really recall where I first came across Jock’s art for the first time, it’s probably the Losers – but chances are it was a Batman cover or something. Either way, he’s quickly become one of my favourite artists…
