Hey everyone, I have a special guest writer this week. Steven Meissner of SoloRoboto.com and My main man The Monarch will be giving a tutorial on how to make a totally bitchin’ Monarch Crown!
The Crown was very straightforward, and the simplest of The Monarch’s pieces to make. Notice I did not say easy – it took plenty of time, but was not intensive in any way. Essentially, you will be making a cone, sculpting some shapes on top of it, and painting the whole thing.
NOTE: I have made 3 Crowns (and three cowls). I will...

In the article they discuss how in the movie our heroes will not necessarily get along with one another.Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, puts it best,“Just because they’re super heroes doesn’t mean they’re super friends”. But despite the friction between the characters on the screen, the camaraderie between the cast and crew was apparently very prevalent as the cast and crew constantly were constantly hanging out...

Greeting guys and gals! Welcome to Week 3 of the “New 52″ Podcast from Comic Impact. This time around, Sheldon ate too much salad and couldn’t join the fun, so we have Simon, Rob, and (making her first appearance on any podcast) Susan!
Basically, we love anything by Scott Snyder. The love affair with him continues. Susan and Rob curse a lot about the new Catwoman title (literally). Simon is underwhelmed by a few of his pick ups this week, and everyone’s pull list gets shorter.

The past few days, I have been think about something. I have been seeing on Francis Manapul’s Facebook some amazing promotional work for the upcoming The Flash number one as part of the “New 52″ from DC Comics. But, I can’t stop thinking about a lot of Saul Bass’ work. He was a graphic designer who did a lot of film posters such as, The Cardinal,It’s A Mad,Mad,Mad World, Vertigo,West Side Story and more.
Sure, I know what your thinking: it reminds you of The Flash because of the color red. I...

Today DC confirmed the news that all fifty-two will receive second printings and elaborated on the impressive numbers.

DC Universe, I thought I knew you. We have been together for so long, but after all this time, you can still surprise me. You are the boyfriend that still brings me my favorite flowers after two years together. That flower is now named Supergirl #1. I can’t imagine why DC did this to me, but I’m so glad they did. I have never liked a comic that involved anyone in the Superman family and now I like two. The surprise was a pleasant one, because here’s the thing, DC. I know that you give me Batman pretty consistently, but...

I want this review to only say one thing: Wonder Woman #1 is brilliant. That’s it. Unfortunately for all of you, I am much longer winded than that. I really should have known that Brian Azzarello would knock this one out of the park (because he always does). I can gush and gush about how he seems to just understand these classic characters and how he manages to evolve them while maintaining their origins and purpose. Maybe I will do just that.

Vampires exist in the DC Universe. Andrew Bennett is a vampire who believes they can co-exist with humanity, mainly by staying under the radar. His ex-lover, Mary, Queen of Blood, believes vampires should not try to co-exist with the human… livestock; vampires should rule them. Needless to say, this puts these two lovers at odds with one another. We catch up with them as Mary is making her declaration of war and Andrew is trying to get her to reconsider. Andrew doesn’t doubt his convictions about vampire-human...

I was not expecting this. Something in the “New 52” that exceeded expectations – I never thought that would happen. It has, and that makes me hate life a little less this week. I think the biggest surprise to me was that it was with a book that I was so sure was going to be terrible. Green Lantern #1 made me smile. This is Geoff Johns doing what he does best, and he does do this best. Hal Jordan is Mr. Johns’ soul mate this much is clear. They understand one another and it comes through in every page of this book.

Hey there Comic Impact. It’s time for the latest episode of Pick of the Week.
In terms of great comics, September 14th was a week where comic readers suffered from a spoil of riches. As the episode begins, controversy ensues, as Matt surprises Simon and Sheldon with his “Pick,” Daredevil #3. While Sheldon, Matt, and Simon all have a lot of love Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #1, there’s no love for the never-ending Fear Itself. Matt shares his love for crime fiction with Criminal: The Last of the Innocent...

Ah, Comic Impact. It feels great to be writing for you once again. It’s been almost a year and a few months since I’ve had an active presence on the site, and shamefully almost the same amount of time since I last read a comic book. My first year at University needed my full attention you see. Shoot me, I’m a bad bitch.
But a fresh start can provide a fresh perspective. Because I’ve not read any weekly comics for just over a year, I’ve had no idea what’s been going on with any character under...

Batman & Robin has been one hell of a ride with Grant Morrison. He gave us Dick Grayson as the Dark Knight and Damien as the disrespectful Robin. These two heirs to the Dark Knights throne were playing at being in the big time all by themselves. They handled themselves pretty fair if you ask me. Now with Batman & Robin #1 by writer Peter J. Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason we get a fresh take as Bruce is back in charge and his son Damien is riding shotgun as Robin. Is this book good enough to keep you interested or...

It’s interesting to note the amount of conflict and turmoil “the big two” comic publishers are willing to inflict on their faithful and loyal readers, readers that without whom they wouldn’t exist. Relaunching, rebooting, renumbering, and the killing off of time-tested characters are some of the ways the majors shake beloved, long established universes up. There are two goals that can be achieved by doing this, and they rarely go hand in hand:
1. Drive up sales.
2. Produce good comics.
Whether such books...

Before I start off this review, I just want to say that I am a huge fan of the character of Frankenstein, both in comics and in other formats. Also, Jeff Lemire is one of the most original comic writers of his generation.
Now saying all this, was Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1 going to live up the hype? After all, I did pick Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1 Flashpoint as my pick of the week back in June of thisyear.
When I first opened the book, I was not a fan of the artwork. I told myself, “Ok, they are going...

I feel like I always start these the same way. I’m becoming set in my ways, and that is never a good thing. Don’t worry. I’m not going to pull what the DC Universe did and change your whole lives. However, I am going to do something a little different here at “Horror on the 13th.” I am going to talk a little bit about the horror industry, which I find to be a fascinating one. I think that it has the biggest gap between the good stuff and the bad stuff. Say what you want about horror, but the good stuff is terrifying...

I must admit I have only become a recent convert to the religion that is Jack Kirby. He has been at the forefront of creating some of the biggest icons in comic history. When Jack died, he left behind a legacy of work, some finished and some not. Kirby: Genesis is dedicated to both his memory and his life’s work. People feel that he and his unfinished work are a subject too precious to touch, and I agree that if the material is not handled correctly, it could be a mistake. However, is Kirby: Genesis #3 betraying Jack...

Batwing, the character that originally made his debut in Batman Incorporated, finally gets his own monthly book from the capable minds of Judd Winick and Ben Oliver. When it was first announced as one of the new titles in DC’s relaunch, I was skeptical. I thought, “They are going to give that guy a book?” Now to clarify, that statement is more a reflection on my thoughts on Batman Incorporated than the character of Batwing specifically. Then, at Comic Con, I was fortunate enough to hear writer Judd Winick talk...

I am probably going to make a lot of enemies here, but I never really cared for the original Batgirl. I really enjoyed the Stephanie Brown run that just ended, but my Batgirl was always Cassandra Cain. I understand that Barbara Gordon was always the first and the fan favorite, but she was never really my cup of tea. I, however, am a HUGE fan of Oracle. It’s like the second the Joker’s bullet shattered Barbara’s spine, she became an interesting character. It might have been harsh, but that was how I felt. Needless to say,...

If I am being totally honest with you all (and I hope I can be), I was not excited about the “New 52” from DC. I’m a DC girl and have been my entire life. To have them decide to change my world was not something I was too happy with. Now, I let down my guard a bit when I read that J.T. Krul was still going to be writing Oliver Queen’s adventures. I have to say, I was right to do so, because Green Arrow #1 was a fun ride with my favorite man with a quiver.
Let me first get into the things that I liked about this book....

One of the books I was most anxious to read out of “The New 52″ fromDC Comics was Swamp Thing. Not because I don’t trust Scott Snyder -after all, in my eyes, he is the greatest Batman writer of all time. After talking to him at Comic-Con this past year about Swamp Thing (you can watch my interview here), I was sure Snyder was going to do a great job on the book
Yet I had no idea how disturbing this book was going to be. Without telling you everything that happens in this first issue, here is a bit of a rundown...

I don’t know much about Animal Man. When I read DC, he was never a character that I knew about. Ok, well, that isn’t entirely true. I knew him as the guy in the lame costume with the weird triangle goggles. That was about the extent of my knowledge on the character, but Buddy Baker a.k.a. Animal Man is a cool concept, and if done right he could really be a hit. In one of the first “New 52,” writer Jeff Lemire and artist Travel Forman bring a more grounded, back-to-basics version of a superhero to...

When I first heard about DC Comics announcing their line-wide relaunch, aka the New 52, I was hoping that Grant Morrison was going to be writing one of the new Bat books.
