As we enter mid-January and 2011 becomes more and more of a memory, I’d like to close out my look at the most notable releases of the past year so that those who may have missed the following can seek them out, or those who have read these be reminded that they are very worthy of a second (or third) read. So, without further ado let’s begin with… Mark Schultz: Various Drawings Volume 5 / Flesk Publications Finding inspiration from the great illustrators and comic artists of the past like Dean Cornwell, Franklin...

Hey Guys, I hope everyone is having a great week. This was a very busy week in the comic world as the announcements were coming in left and right. Six books fall from the “New 52″ as six books rise.

DC Comics Announces the Second Wave On Thursday DC announced that this April six of their titles launched during September’s...

Happy Friday the 13th!!! I’m super excited, because not only is it a Friday AND the 13th, BUT it’s also HORROR on the 13th! Woo hoo! Yay me!

I, of course, am Susan, your “Horror Girl” (which we all learned is very different from being the “Whore Girl”). The topic of this month’s article is one that is very near and...

Hello and welcome to the first Pick of the Week Podcast of 2012! Susan had the pick, and the boys weren’t too happy with her selection. They accused her of being charmed by the debonaire stylings of Brian Buccellato. The first pick of 2012 was Foster #1. Let’s face it. It’s independent and horror, so Susan’s kryptonite. Not to mention, Mr. Buccellato’s smile (perhaps she’ll leave Scott Snyder alone for a few weeks). Anyway, beyond that, Sheldon geeked out over the latest from his favorite,...

As 2011 comes to a close, I can say with a bit of relief that the amount of quality content being published within the world of comics continues to increase steadily. The interest in recent years in high-end, lavish, oversized archival editions and spiffy comic related art books signifies that people are not just reading comics for their obvious entertainment value, but also seeing the medium more and more as the valid literary and artistic arena it’s been since day one. As such I’ve assembled a list of 2011’s...

But Batman has other ideas! Plus: Don’t miss the origin of NoBody! BLACK PANTHER THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ALIVE! #526 -  Cover...
