THE BRONX KILL by Peter Milligan and James Romberger

30 Jan 2010 08:49:42 PST

Written by Mel Odom
DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint has launched a line of crime-oriented graphic novels. I suppose this is in response to Ed Brubaker’s critical success with his Criminal series for Marvel. Or maybe it’s because the fan base for superheroes is also branching out into the noir roots of storytellin...

January 29--Aquaman's Birthday!

28 Jan 2010 21:03:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (rob!)
In some ways, this is a particularly rough birthday for the big guy--in the current DCU, he's a member of the undead, concerned with nothing else but eating flesh and tearing out hearts. Yuck. Luckily, he does appear monthly in the DC Super Friends book, and will headline the next issue of Bra...

DC fights back with…more rings!

26 Jan 2010 14:27:36 PST

People have been wondering when DC would make some kind of move aimed at Marvel’s assault on their Lantern Ring promotion…and now they have. But instead of lashing out, they’ve done it in a, dare we say, grown up way — offering two new rings for an even LOWER order threshold on books that are al...

Written by Scott Thill
Based on the Planet Hulk storyline dreamed up by Marvel Comics’ Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada and writer Greg Pak, the direct-to-disc movie mines territory once plundered by Ridley Scott’s blockbuster Gladiator and even DC Comics’ Justice League episode, “War World.” See Also:

Tpull's Weekly DC Comics Review – Part 2

25 Jan 2010 06:19:36 PST

Written by Travis
The question mark should not have been at the end of the Outsiders on the cover, it should have been after Superman, because we get to see the Eradicator on the last page of the issue. That’s it. What a cheap, misleading, stupid piece of advertising. If anyone picked it up and bought it just for a S...

DC's April previews reviewed

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Caleb)
I would not want to be someone trying to follow Darwyn Cooke on a new Spirit ongoing, but Mark Schultz should do just fine. I'm curious about this title and seeing how the Spirit works in a DC Universe, even if it's not the DC Universe, but it will really have to knock my socks off to stay on my pull...

Tpull's Weekly DC Comics Review – Part 2

10 Jan 2010 01:14:50 PST

Written by Travis
For those who might be confused, last issue had Wonder Woman beating Max Lord, and this issue doesn’t have a transition. It picks up right in the middle of Blackest Night #6, showcasing Mera’s fight with Diana. So if you got them both, read to where Mera meets Diana, and read this comic, then go...

Things I Don’t Understand About DC Comics #436: Dan DiDio, comic book writer

And hey, while I’m asking DiDio-related questions, if Dan DiDio and Joe Quesada collaborated on a DC/Marvel crossover to benefit a comic book charity, which two characters from their respective publishers would you like to see it feature? I don’t know that such a project would be any goo...

Some Odd DC Comics Moments of the 'Oughts

29 Dec 2009 04:11:56 PST

Written by Ryan
And added element is that both Cap and Batman, while neither is certainly any stranger to super-powered wackiness, are characters which are, ostensibly, a bit more rooted as human characters than laser-eyed aliens. Yet, both storylines hinge on deep-continuity weirdness and science...

Geek Goggle Reviews: Batman 80 Page Giant #1

19 Dec 2009 20:17:02 PST

Written by ComicList
There you have it. Eight stories with a ton of creative talent behind them makes up a thick comic book. For the most part I really enjoyed all of them with three really bubbling up to the top and only two leaving me a little confused on some of the character's choices. None of the stories will chang...

Tpull's Weekly DC Comics Review – Part 1

08 Oct 2009 01:48:32 PDT

Written by Travis
The final two pages are static again, with a spread of the JLA. Hawkman is included, and that’s a big mistake. The recent reunion of Atom and Hawkman in Blackest Night was simply amazing, and it was supposed to be their first contact after a while. To have both characters here in a pre-Blackest N...

Superman first appeared in Action Comics No. 1, which was published in 1938, and sold to DC Comics by Siegel and co-creator Joel Schuster. DC Comics owns everything after that as it has been deemed a work-for-hire relationship. The court had awarded the Siegel family with many aspects of the...

Opinion: Grant Morrison Tells All About Batman and Robin

01 Jul 2009 09:00:00 PDT

Written by Graeme McMillan
I grew up with Neal Adams and Denny O'Neil, Len Wein, Engelhart, Starlin, Gerber, McGregor so my comic-writing style can be traced back to some combination of O'Neil' 'relevance' and Starlin 'cosmic'. Silver age, not so much. Batman and Robin #2 is in comic stores now.
