BEFORE WATCHMEN by DC Comics: Whether Alan Moore likes it or not DC Comics finally busts the Watchmen dam open and will make new material on the property. Could these limited series just be the beginning of an ongoing exploration of this world? I guess the final sales will determine what happens next....
DC Comics will be using a new company Logo soon. At first I did not like it, but the use of various colors has made it look better. Still, I’m not to sure I like it so much. It clearly looks like a Photoshop designed idea. Where the D symbol is being peeled back...
You may not know it but Jack Kirby burned his bridges at DC in the 1950s and that’s why he went to Marvel. It was his only other option for a big publisher. Plus if Jack stayed at DC as I theorized, I recently read a long time Kirby associate wrote a similar...
Justice League #4 will show Darkseid as redesigned by Jim Lee. Originally a Jack Kirby creation, Darkseid can arguably be called Kirby’s greatest creation in the DC Universe. DC Comics was sorely lacking a universal villain that could fight anybody, and Darkseid filled that role. What’s happened to Jim Lee’s design sense? First...
Amy Adams as Lois Lane, what happened? She has looked better in other movies. Now look at Henry Cavill as Clark Kent. The more I see and hear about this movie, the more I lose faith that it will be any good. But then again, it can’t be much worse then Superman Returns.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=34815 The retail book giant Barnes & Noble has removed from their stores 100 DC Graphic Novels. This includes classic books like Watchmen and Sandman. The reason? DC Comics will publish these 100 books Exclusively for the Amazon Kindle Fire in digital format. Barnes & Noble stated that they want their books offered...
Russell Crowe will play Superman’s father, Jor-El in the new Superman: Man Of Steel movie. How come the more I hear about this movie, the more dread I feel that this movie will stink? Casting Russell Crowe in this film does nothing to ease that concern, in fact it makes it worse. Crowe...
It looks like one of the pivotal events in DC Comics history has been undone. On his Facebook page Dan Didio basically said Crisis as you know it never really happened. Dan DiDio For those in crisis over Crisis, let me clarify. The topic of Crisis was much discussed among the editors and...
Comics Legend George Perez will leave the Superman ReLaunch with issue 6. The new team of Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens will take over with issue 7. Personally I think it stinks, as I do not think Keith Giffen can write a good Superman story. Dan Jurgens is a good artist, but he...
http://icv2.com/articles/article_image.php?ig=18904 Amazon is launching a color kindle later this year called Kindle Fire. Priced at $199.00 It’s a competitor to the ipad market. But much more affordable. This color kindle will be able to read digital comics. Watchmen will be offered for $9.99. This could launch a price war with other online digital...
http://icv2.com/articles/news/21122.html DC Comics has announced that all 52 first issues of its New 52 titles have sold out and gone back to press, an unprecedented phenomenon for a full month’s comics. It seems that all of DC Comics first issues of their New 52 have sold out! With second printings being made. It...
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/09/24/anne-hathaway-dark-knight-rises-set-with-christian-bale/ I would like to thank the Just Jared website for their amazing work finding news scoops like this The Dark Knight Rises one. People wondered if Anne Hathaway would wear a Catwoman costume? We got our answer and it looks great! Plus a very clear shot of the Batman costume. It looks...
Batman Year One Batman Year One on Blu-Ray and on DVD. This animated movie looks great. It deals with the early years of Batman, and is based on a great comic series.
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/agent-of-style-superboy-110919.html Great article about the various costumes DC Comics Superboy has had over the years. I still like the 1990s version with the jacket best.
http://www.newsarama.com/games/dc-universe-online-free-to-play-110919.html The DC Universe Online game gets a FREE version to play starting in October. This is great news and it looks like I will finally get to be able to play this game. In today’s economy paying a monthly fee for a game seems frivolous to me. I’m glad this free option...
I have the new Justice League first issue, part of DC Comics ReLaunch and the art is great! But it was only a setup story. This comic like most comics now is written for the 5 to 8 part trade paperback format. It is not written to enjoy individual story issues. This shows...
Check out what the costume of the new Superman The Man of Steel movie will look like. Darker colors. No red pants. His wrists have a cuff design. Some style designs on the suit. This is not the classic costume you know. I wonder if the mainstream public will like the changes?
October 14th it is available on DVD and Blu–ray the Green Lantern movie. Warner Bros. has detailed the release of the their 2011 summer superhero flick Green Lantern. The film, which stars Ryan Reynolds, will be available in both 3D and standard Blu-ray combo packs which have been priced at $40.99 and $35.99...
Superman: Man of Steel on the set photo above Looks like Superman will lose his classic red underpants in the new Superman movie. Not sure I like the idea. It’s a classic costume and they have messed with it for the movie. At least we now know what the movie costume will look...
http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com Both Jim Lee and Geoff Johns will be at the New York Comic Con 2011. They are to be the top Guests of Honor. The Convention is on October 13 – 16, 2011
Looks like Batman has a costume that looks very similar to the Dark Knight costume. Bane is wearing a weird mask. Catwoman does not really have a cat outfit. Plus why is she stealing the Batpod?
SUPERMAN freaking awesome picture! That is an official released photo of the Superman The Man of Steel DC Comics movie. Henry Cavill looks great in the costume. And thankfully it’s not a computer graphic generated costume like Green Lantern had. Did DC learn their lesson? Computer graphic costumes suck! Already it looks so...
Superman issue 714 has hit the stands. It’s worth picking up because this is the last issue! Next month in September the DC ReLaunch happens with a new number 1 issue. In fact all the books this month of August are last issues at DC Comics. So be sure to pick up your...
Flashpoint #5 Cover It looks like Professor Zoom AKA Reverse Flash is finally getting some respect. I really like that cover and notice the defeated Batman. I think as a villain, this guy has A LOT of potential to be an A List villain. Except he’s not. I mean of The Flash is...
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=33553 Good interview about the DC ReLaunch and the costume redesigns by artists Jim Lee and Cully Hamner. Grifter was quickly shown, and Lee mused, "You know what? I didn’t do a lot of the designs on Wildstorm." Of course, Lee created and helped design the vast majority of the now-defunct Wildstorm characters...
Looking at the DC Comics Superman costume that he’s going to wear after the ReLaunch. I’m still not sure what to think. I don’t think anything can replace the original classic look. Even though it’s out of date with more modern looks, that classic costume has been around so long it’s iconic. This...
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu-bob-wayne-sells-the-reboot-1100719.html I liked the above article because it had a lot of content and honest details. It seems like fans and retailers either like the ReLaunch idea or they have no interest in it. I’ve been in rooms now where I had one retailer take the point of view that "none of my...
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=33380 Interesting article about the DC ReLaunch. It looks like a case of change just for the sake of it. I still think there were much better ways to go then what they have planned. Here’s just an example of the good stuff you will read about in the link above. Lee: I...
The JLA reboot will have Superman and Batman fighting judging from the issue 2 cover. This is an old Frank Miller idea and has been done already too much, stop it! Please get new ideas DC. And I’ll predict the outcome already. Batman somehow outsmarts Superman and wins. Or Batman acts like a...
Dark Knight Rises is getting such leaks, we will probably know the whole plot before the end of the year, for those who want to know. I don’t and will wait. ANYWAY, Batman is DC Comics ONLY movie character that can compete with Marvel movies it seems. DC utterly FAILED with Green Lantern....
