Wow...just Wow

This is an amazing book that appeared on comic shop shelves this week and it's like a DIY comic from a brilliant friend living in the 19th century. The silver inked logo and… Continue

Top comic book runs (#5-#1)





5. Usagi Yojimbo – Stan Sakai

Like Jeff Smith, Wendy & Richard Pini, and Dave Sim, Stan Sakai made comics his way, telling stories about feudal Japan through the eyes of a ronin rabbit. And while it could have lent itself to parody, and make no mistake, parts of Usagi are hilarious, Sakai made us believe in an ancient time populated by animal-people and taught us Japanese history… Continue

Top ten comic book runs (#10-#6)






10) Alpha Flight – John Byrne

During my golden years of reading comics, this was THE one. I had just missed the Claremont/Byrne years of Uncanny X-Men, but I made sure I got to the drug store every month to pick up the new issue of Alpha Flight. They were an unusual team, echoing the Defenders, in that they didn’t seem to like hanging out with each other…at all. But the… Continue

Wolverine - Prodigal Son review



For some reason, I'm getting more and more into manga lately. Kenshin Rurouni, Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Mail, 20th Century Boys...I'm finding the tricks and story techniques different from the big two and it's been a lot of fun.

Anyway, Antony Johnston (a British writer who has done work I've liked at Oni) and Filipino artist Wilson Tortosa are the team behind thi… Continue

The new animated Wonder Woman film on DVD is actually pretty great.

wonder woman? Pictures, Images and Photos' />





I've seen most of the Marvel and DC animated, made-for-DVD, films and this one, much to my surprise, is THE best one of the bunch. Gail Simone helped write it and a lot of the humor she brings to her comic writing i… Continue

Bill, just saw your post. The list I put up "usually" does not include special orders for subs. Pluto is on the list but not Masterpiece HC. I e-mailed you about masterpiece and cursed pirate girl but I will call Diamond to see if they know anything.

Well, I bought Zot today, Doc! Looking greatly forward to reading it and letting you know what I think. I suspect this will go over better than Runaways did.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm a huge Doctor Who fan as well (and Torchwood...).

Well...I'm a doctor...but, alas, no Tardis. I do have a daughter named Rose, though. Luckily, we named her that before the new show started.

Paul Dini’s Tower Prep goes to Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network is going live-action, and it’s taking Paul Dini with it.

(Perhaps no coincidence — Cartoon Network is owned by DC Comics’ parent company, Time/Warner.) [...]

Scott Kurtz versus the Universe

Okay, maybe not the whole universe — just the world of Wizard.

I’m not sure if I [...]
