Here’s an article in the Columbus Dispatch about the coming Mid-Ohio Comicon, which’ll be taking place this weekend.

The Jewish News Weekly in San Francisco has an article about some of the latest books on the late great Will Eisner, namely, “Life, in Pictures”, a new compendium of at least five Eisner stories he wrote between 1985 and 2003.

The Savage Critics feels that Gail Simone’s recent work has taken a turn for the worst, and it may well have, but at the same time, it led me to thinking:
Regarding the All-New Atom, and also the new Blue Beetle, and even the new (but now cancelled) Firestorm, did it ever occur to anyone that they could be bait-and-switch tactics?
I’d never really thought of that as a way to describe them

The Pulse interviewed Brian Reed, the writer of Ms. Marvel, about the latest Skrull invasion. Just as I should’ve known - they’re writing the Skrulls performing an invasion of Earth for the umpteenth time. By now, however, I’d have to figure that that they wrote an invasion story much too late - with the cross-over-load of the past few years, as well as the politicized storylines like what Civil

First, we had news of Frank Miller’s Batman miniseries, titled Holy Terror, Batman, being delayed because DC was “too squeamish” to allow one of its high profile heroes take on the al Qaeda.

I made an interesting discovery a while ago when I read this entry on Comics Should be Good from last June in which a comics reader from Israel sent the following page he’d found on a site belonging to one of the comics stores I’ve often visited in Tel Aviv where the left-wing organization Peace Now took an episode of a comic strip called Crash Christian, published by National Lampoon in the

And if that’s the case, then I see no reason for anyone to waste their money.

Thanks to this, it wouldn’t surprise me if any excitement that could’ve come from

Newsarama features a short interview with Frank Miller where he talks about what it’s like to work on the set of his adaptation of Will Eisner’s classic comic strip/book.

The AP Wire reports that Marvel is publishing some of its older archives on the internet. DC and Dark Horse have had some of their own publications go online too. LOS ANGELES — Marvel is putting some of its older comics online today, hoping to reintroduce young people to the X-Men and Fantastic Four by showcasing the original issues in which such characters appeared.

Looking at this article from the Honolulu Star Bulletin, I see they bring up two small graphic novel publications, at least one that suggests anti-war sentiments: “Shooting War” (Grand Central Publishing, $21.99) takes place in the here and soon-now, a crazy melange of Iraq-aphobia and razor-sharp slashing at media culture.
