http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/22002.html Great Interview talking about Valiant Comics. It seems that they are giving a sincere push to make this a long term company.
Back in the early 1990s Valiant Comics had a great comic book called Solar Man of the Atom. It’s star character could manipulate and control energy in a variety of forms. And the first twenty issues made for fabulous stories. I was recently looking through a box of issues I had and realized...
Dynamite Comics plans to make a hardcover book featuring the art of Alex Ross. It’s slated for a November, 2011 release. It looks great and is a must buy for fans of his art.
IDW Comics plans to kill Optimus Prime in their comic books. But this will only effect the comics and not movies or television shows. Honestly this is not new territory, Marvel Comics when they had the book rights, did the same thing. Plus since they are robots, it’s easy story wise to bring...
The 1980s iconic property Voltron returns to comic books in December 2011. This time the publisher will be Dynamite Comics. And superstar artist Alex Ross will be handling various covers. As you can tell on this post, Alex Ross is in fine form making fantastic covers. Even though it would be great to...
http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/autopsy-report-lgs-conan-the-barbarian/ A total failure as a movie. It surprised the executives how low it was. I guess there are no chances of a sequel.
http://www.deadline.com/2011/07/first-box-office-cowboys-aliens-40m-smurfs-29m-crazy-stupid-love-18m/ Great article discussing movies this week. Cowboys & Aliens took 14 years to develop! That’s the movie development hell you used to hear about. Looks like it still goes on, but thankfully is less prominent nowadays. Imagine that, having an idea for a movie and it takes over a decade to get...
Not many people may know this but the movie Cowboys & Aliens is actually based on a graphic novel. Which is just a fancy way of saying comic book! So yes, as if the Summer was not already filled with comic book movies, here is another one to boot. I find it funny...
TMNT cover with my caption TMNT Property Sold What a year for comic books! It seems like the big thing this year is either lawsuits, or buyouts! It appears that the TMNT property has been sold to Nickelodeon for a price of $60 million. I say congrats to creators Eastman and to Laird. The...
Silver Star cover with my caption It seems that Dynamite Entertainment comic book publisher Nick Barrucci is wasting his money. He recently tried to get the rights to publish Fighting American comic books. Fighting American Controversy You can read the article above. It seems he never had the rights from Joe Simon to publish...
I was thinking about comic books and while the G.I. Joe Universe really expanded as a comic book property. In truth, I really see the G.I. Joe Universe and characters as not comic book characters per say, but rather as the original idea of it being an action figure line and property. The fact...
I’m watching the TV series: Deadliest Warrior. It airs on channel Spike TV. The show basically compares different warriors from different eras and time periods. They then look at their fighting styles, their weapons used and analyze the date. All to compare in the end, who would win on a one to one fight....
From the Free Comic Book Day event, I was able to get my hands on the Savage Dragon issue which features the original Public Domain Daredevil. Erik Larsen provided a nice stand alone issue which has the Dragon and Daredevil team up. At the end was a nice two page text piece that Erik...
With Barack Obama in the Amazing Spider-Man #583 as well as future Image books. It made me thing of political figures and their uses in other works. Such as books, comic books, their image of posters and shirts. All this happens without a politicians permission, and they don’t get a cut of the profit...
The Dark Dominion title published by Defiant Comics in the 90s (and now in the bargin bin) only lasted 11 issues. 1 to 10 were comic published. But issue 0 was a card set that formed a comic if you got all the cards. It follows the adventures of Michael Alexander and his battles...
Published by Defiant Comics (and now in comic fodder bins) Charlemagne standing for Charles the Great. If you see the first issue in a bin, PICK THIS UP! It is one of the best origins and first issues I’ve read in a long time. It is that good! I thought a book like this...
It seems Erik Larsen, who recently used a lot of Golden Age Public Domain Superheroes in a Savage Dragon storyline, is planning to keep a few around. As he recently stated in an interview, he plans to use the Golden Age Daredevil to be a regular in the Savage Dragon series. I heard others...
In case you didn’t read it by now, the Free Comic Book Day story of Dynamite and the Daredevil character was good. I’m glad to know the Claw is public domain in look and style and can be used. And better yet his name and image are both in the public domain, not like...
It was Free Comic Book Day, the day where the comic shop gives back! I hope you picked up the Dynamite Entertainment issue with a stunning Alex Ross cover of the Golden Age Daredevil and the Claw. It sure seems like Alex Ross is getting a lot of work this past year. For the...
Hi All, I hope you hit your local comic book shop because it was Free Comic Book Day! The day where comic book shops “give back” to the public. The store was packed, but I got many great issues and I hope you did to. The one I went to first read and really...
I just want to ask a question, if you are a comic book maker, or hopefully plan to be one day. Are you going to use any Public Domain Superheroes as part of your project? I plan to, and was a reason I started this website. Because until Project Superpowers came out, I didn’t...
I got my hands on the Image Comic called: Fantastic Comics #24, don’t worry there is no #23 by Image. Basically they picked up the title name and numbering sequence off of the original Fantastic Comics comic book which ended at #23 during the Golden Age of comics. This is a compilation comic with...
Public Domain Superheroes have at last come back in comic books in full force. Thanks to Dynamite Entertainment and Image Comics, these Golden Age greats are returning. This blog is about these characters. What I like and plan to one day use, and you can use them to, is these Public Domain characters that...
I’ve read Dynamite Entertainment’s Project Superpowers issues # 0, 1, 2 and without trying to spoil it, I will admit I like the series so far. Issue 0 was a stand alone issue set in World War II, and stars the Fighting Yank. Overall the issue was great, and the only fault I found...
