Hey Guys, as we continue to speed through the month of January, (seriously where has the month gone???) the news and announcements continue to come at us fast and furiously. So let’s get right to it in this week’s installment of The Impact.
DC Comics Unveils New Logo, New Brand Identity
After last week’s Impact was published Bleeding Cool broke the news that DC Comics had just trademarked a new logo. On Thursday DC officially unveiled it to the world on their blog The Source.

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...

Okay Guys to quote the Joker, “Heeeere weee go.” This morning Apple officially posted the trailer to The Dark Knight Rises HERE. I was fortunate enough to see it this past weekend with my screening of Mission Imposible: Ghost Protocol. It was great, I’ve never seen that many people applaud a trailer…. outside of Comic Con’s Hall H.

And, we’re back! It’s written form again for Horror on the 13th! I can’t decide what I like better. Really, I just like mixing it up, because to me, talking about horror is talking about horror. In fact, I agree with that statement almost to a fault. I mean, I really do like and appreciate all horror, even the bad stuff. Horror taps into something very primal in all of us. It’s the fear of the unknown or the mysterious or the abnormal. Mostly, it’s trying to understand things that we, as humans, don’t understand or...

The Halloween weekend saw the appearance of the third annual Long Beach Comic Con (or as it is now known the “Long Beach Comic and Horror Con”), and I am extremely happy to report that it was the best year yet. What clearly sets the LBCC shows apart from its Southern California con counterparts is an actual emphasis on comics themselves, the writers and artists who produce them, and the greater illustrative art world that exists comfortably alongside the sequential medium itself.
This is a very welcome and continued...

DC’s “NEW 52″ seems to have been a ringing success on all fronts. I can’t tell you the amount of people who I have talked to who really feel that they have done some great work on this facelift for the DCU. A great example of that is Nightwing. While we have seen Dick take on the mantle of Batman in the not-so-distant past, he now seems to be Nightwing again. However, do writer Kyle Higgins and artist Eddy Barrows make Nightwing# 2 soar above Gotham with pride or plummet to the ground all twitchy? Read...

Justice League Dark is yet another new comic offered by DC this month in the “New 52.” Written by Peter Milligan, with art by Mikel Janin, this book offers the reader something entirely new for a Justice-League-type of team book. The basic idea of this team is that they are all based in some form of magic, which is great because when it comes to magic baddies, Superman isn’t the most qualified to come in and rough them up - nor is The Justice League. Enter Justice League Dark. Does this book cast a spell...

Crowe is a great actor and I am interested to see what he will bring to the role If you look closely you can see the blue Superman suit underneath his armor. I get the feeling that Zod will be wearing something very similar. This not at all what I was expecting. It’s very different from any previous version of Kryptonian garb we have seen before, it’s surprisingly very alien looking. I think its...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. He is my favorite writer in comics history, and Batman is my favorite DC character; and I think his run on Batman and Robin was nothing short of a perfect 10.
Then I found out that Morrison was going to work on Action Comics, and I told myself that because All Star Superman was amazing, I could be sure that Grant would do a great job on this book. This...

If you don’t all ready know, then you are brand new to ComicImpact and this is the first thing you have ever looked at on here - ever. IF that is the case, then watch this video to get a better idea of how awesome I am, and then go back, read all my stuff, and realize how silly you are for not guessing this book in the first place. Even my number two...

Are you like me and you can’t wait for the “New 52″? Then you are going to love this video in which I talk to you about two books that will make an impact in the “New 52″! I am going to talk about the upcoming run with Scott Snyder and Gregory Capullo on my favorite DC character, the one and only Batman. Also, if you know me, you know that I love Grant Morrison. I can’t wait to see what he is going to do with the Man of Steel! Make sure to stay tuned to ComicImpact all week for more of the...

Simon finally found Susan and Sheldon, so they are all back for the August edition of “Did You Catch All That?” It turned into a nice welcoming of the “New 52” this month as we said good bye to some DC books and welcomed others. Simon has issues with Detective Comics #881, while Susan paid tribute to all her DC ladies in “Girl on Girls.” Sheldon stayed true to his Marvel roots, picking Punisher as his issue and giving his two cents about Fear Itself. Meanwhile, Susan showed some love for the Doctor Who Annual,...

All comic fans should take a moment to say Happy Birthday to Jack “The King” Kirby!!! Today would have been his 94th birthday. His influence on medium of comics is immeasurable. From Captain America, the creation of the romance comic, to the Marvel renaissance (Fantastic Four, X-Men, Thor, The Avengers and many more). His DC work which included the New Gods, Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olson, Kamandi, OMAC, and The Demon. His art and creativity seemed to know no bounds. There was and is no one else like him and...

Courtesy of Hero Complex. As we continue to countdown to “DC’s New 52″ Jim Lee and Dan Didio sat down to talk with Geoff Boucher and his blog Hero Complex. In the article they talk quite frankly about the state of the Direct Market and the motivation behind the company wide relaunch. In a stunning bit of news, DC revealed that Justice League #1 pre-orders exceeded 200,000 copies with an additional six titles in the relaunch having pre-orders that exceeded over 100,000 copies. Holy cow!!! While I’m...

As apart of DC’s “New 52″ relaunch, DC Entertainment promised a huge promotional push, including commercials on both TV and in movie theaters. You can check out the TV version here at ComicImpact. The longer theatrical cut can be viewed only at The Los Angeles Times blog Hero Complex. With the relaunch only two weeks away I’m surprised we are only NOW starting to see some of the promotional campaign. I also question DC’s move to not make allowing everyone to embed the longer cut considering this...

I’m Batman! That’s wishful thinking on my part. How awesome would that be?! I am The BatSam though, and that’s on the serious. For now, Dick Grayson is Batman, and the latest run on Detective Comics has been nothing short of incredible. Let me tell you why…
Simon has been going on and on and on about how Scott Snyder is his favorite Batman author ever, and how Snyder is the best detective writer at the moment. While I can’t say I totally feel the same way about the first statement, I definitely agree...

By now I’m sure you’ve heard all about the New 52 over at DC Comics, right? Are you excited for it? Well, guess what!?

The San Diego fun hasn’t stopped yet, my friend! What convention coverage is complete without talking to J.T. Krul?! The man, the myth, the legend. I’m happy to say that after about a billion and one interviews we’ve done with this amazing writer, I finally got a turn to talk to him.

It’s the week of San Diego Comic Con! For comic book fans, it’s like Christmas and Columbus Day combined! But today is only Tuesday, so we’ll have to put our excitement on hold while we enjoy this week’s edition of Trade Tuesday. This week we’re going to take a look at Power Girl: Bomb Squad from Judd Winick and Sami Basri. This book collects issues 13-18 of the most recent Power Girl ongoing series. With taking over a book from the team of Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Amanda Conner; Winick...

Are you going to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. this weekend? I am not, but I would love to see the first teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Guess what? ComicImpact readers, you can now watch it with me on this fine website. Let’s all watch it together.
Starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Morgan Freeman, The Dark Knight Rises is set to hit theatres on July 20, 2012!

You know a comic book is really good when it gets three consecutive issues reviewed by three different people at Comic Impact. As long as they’re positive, anyway. I think that’s what the professionals refer to as a “turkey.” I’m sure by now, you have realized that what I’m getting at is that Batman Beyond #7 is another great issue from writer, Adam Beechen and artist, Ryan Benjamin.
This issue is the end of the current storyline which has brought Blight back into the world of Batman Beyond....

Last week there was a new Previews Magazine from Diamond Comics, so it’s time for Looking Forward September 2011
In case you’re not sure, Previews is the official magazine retailers use to order comics. Now, what you may not know is that the solicitations in Previews will come out two months before the release date. This time, we are going to look at the comics coming out in September, 2011. That is why this article is called,”Looking Forward, September 2011.” Please note, this not the full magazine.This only what...

Holy gee whiz! Have you fine people been reading the big Marvel and DC events going on right now? Those things are epic with a capitol, “Holy crap!”
In case you’re unaware, Marvel’s big summer event is called Fear Itself, in which a mysterious Asgardian who has been imprisoned for centuries breaks free and uses fear as a weapon against the heroes of the Marvel Universe. FlashPoint, DC’s big event, shows Barry Allen (The Flash) waking up in an alternate universe where not only are things drastically...

Ok, I am at a loss for what to say here, so let me start by recapping what I know from Xombi #4. All over the world, there are floating cities – strongholds, specifically – that contain immortal people who know everything. Nuns have super powers and loose change can talk. Uh, what? This issue talked and talked at me, while I reread and even referenced past issues in order to make sense of it. What’s getting me through is the awesome idea the regenerating nano-bots exist and that we could use them to never die. It’s just...

Hey everybody, how’s it going? Sorry, due to some technical difficulties we’re a little late with this week’s poll, but it’s here now! So, everybody’s been real interested in the DC relaunch, right? We’re getting little bits here and there and this last week we got our first look at the new Justice League. The new costumes were designed by Jim Lee and a lot of people have been talking about them. So the question we at Comic Impact have is, what do you guys think? Check out the picture.

Now, I’m going to warn you all right off the bat, this is kind of a gushing love letter to the creative team of Zatanna #14. I’m not saying that because one of my favorite writers in comics, Adam Beechen, was on this issue. I’m also not saying it because the cover was done by Adam Hughes (you’d have to be new to Comic Impact to not know how much I love him). I’m saying it, because this team, artists and all, were able to get me to LIKE the character of Zatanna! I know. When does that happen to me? Never is the answer...

Are you ready for your first look at the new Justice League when DC’s revamp/relaunch titles come out in September? This image was first shown on Toon Tumbler’s Facebook page, and it looks like this is going to be the San Diego Comic-Con 2011 exclusive glass. The redesigns of the costumes were done by Jim Lee, and this not the first time he has redesigned classic comic book characters. Back in the 1990’s he redesigned the X-Men.
Personally, I think the costumes are not as horrible as people make them out to...

I’m not entirely sure why, but there’s just something especially awesome about a guy shooting people with a bow and arrow. That’s why every month, I get excited to pick up the latest issue of Green Arrow. Sadly, J.T. Krul, who’s been writing the series for the last year is busy with all the Flashpoint stuff going on, so for this 13th issue we have a guest writer, James Patrick. After reading this issue, I’ll admit that having a guest writer once in a while isn’t such a bad thing.

I hope you all had a good Father’s Day, but today is not Father’s Day, it’s Tuesday and at this point I’m sure you all know what that means.

Gray and Palmiotti have been writing Jonah Hex since 2006 and DeZuniga was the original artist and co-creator of the character.
This story was published specifically as an original graphic novel and initially...

I enjoyed the time when Gail Simone wrote her, but I usually pass up on the reading of a Wonder Woman comic. I don’t know that there’s any real reason for it. She’s not my favorite of the DC women, which I know is blasphemy, but it’s true. It’s not like she’s a boring character or her stories suck or anything, I just never took to her the way I took to other women. Another thing that I tend to dislike (and have expressed that dislike several times here on Comic Impact) is the event. Is Flashpoint even necessary? Whatever....

FLASHPOINT has descended upon DC like a child being told it is time for bed or, even worse it is time to clean up your room.Neither of which I used to be a big fan of. As many of you are aware, I have been labeled ”the Marvel Fan Boy” and while I will accept that moniker you must be fully aware the whole, unnerving truth. I DO READ MORE THAN JUST MARVEL. Yes, let’s get the gasps and guffaws out of the way right now. I actually LOVE the idea of the DC reboot/restart. I would even go a step further and say...

The Flash is my favorite superhero ever. And as lame as it sounds, Gorilla Grodd is my favorite of his rogues gallery. Having said that, I’m gonna be honest about Flashpoint: Grodd of War. I thought it was gonna be mediocre to entertaining at best. I was definitely shocked by how wrong I was.
From the get-go, there is no mistaking Grodd’s state of mind. He’s a bored, egotistic, megalomaniac. The entire continent of Africa has just been conquered, and Grodd couldn’t care any less. “What’s that?...

The time has come, friends. This weekend marks the theatrical release of Green Lantern and we at Comic Impact are definitely excited.
To get some insight on Green Lantern, Ian braved the untamed wastelands of Van Nuys, CA to go to Galaxy of Comics and ask some comic fans what they know about the emerald warrior. What gives a Green Lantern his power? What’s Hal Jordan’s space sector? Are those nude pics of Blake Lively for real? All will be answered!

Here at Comic Impact, we want to know just how excited you are about this movie.

So, we’re leaving it up to you fine people! Let us know exactly how...

I think I’m the only person on the site–nay, the world–who cares at all about Aquaman. Don’t ask me why. I hate the beach. Perhaps it’s my wonder about the ocean. That’s where sea otters live, ya know? Love me some sea otters. Sadly they’re not found in issue #1 of Flashpoint: Emperor Aquaman, but there’s other good stuff!
So far in the main Flashpoint book, all that’s known to the audience is that Aquaman and Wonder Woman and their respective armies are fighting a humongous...

It upsets me greatly that Gail Simone won’t be writing my favorite girls after the DC reboot. Birds of Prey is easily my favorite book on the shelves right now, and I just know it won’t be the same without the talent of Ms. Simone. Luckily, she is going to be saving the Batgirl reboot, because I’m fairly certain without her it would be the worst of all the new number ones. I’ve gotten off topic.
Birds of Prey #13 kept me on the edge of my seat. I love my horror, and Junior is an amazing horror villain. She hates to be...

Warner Bros has yet to announce the beginning of principal photography on “Man of Steel,” the first photo from director Zack Snyder’s Superman franchise reboot has emerged online.
Written by David S. Goyer from a story by Goyer and producer Christopher Nolan, “Man of Steel” also stars (so far) Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent and Michael Shannon as General Zod. It opens in December 2012.

When I was a little kid, one of my all time favorite cartoons was Batman The Animated Series. The best part about that show was Kevin Conroy doing the voice of Batman and Mark Hamill as The Joker. To this day, those are the voices I hear in my head when I read a Batman comic book. Paul Dini was a producer and writer for the show, so really the credit should go to him because this guy is a fantastic writer. If you don’t believe me, just check out the video game, Batman: Arkham Asylum or the brand new comic book sequel to...

We‘ll see what kind of impact these books make in the restarting of the DC Universe after the conclusion of Flashpoint number five releases on August 31 (the only book being released by DC that week).
DC Comics has said that there are going to be 52 new number one issues and now it looks like there may be more....

Nope nothing of any interest in comic books I can think of. OH WAIT! I forgot that DC Comics is relaunching 52 of their books!

I’m going to start with a confession. I was never a huge fan of the Batman Beyond cartoon. It just didn’t quench my thirst for Batman the way other cartoons had done in the past. I mean, I still enjoyed it and watched every single episode. However, it was not my favorite. I always felt that it was one of those things that I should like in theory, but didn’t in practice. Then, I heard there was going to be a new series of comics with the Terry McGinnis character and decided to give it another shot. Boy, do I love new creative...

After Flashpoint #5 releases on August 31 (the only book being released by DC that week) DC has announced that they’ll be relaunching 52 of their titles at issue #1. DC has been quick to say that this is not a “reboot,” just a new direction for the...

I love Batman, but in recent months, Batman hasn’t been that great of a read. Thank the comic book Gods for Detective Comics! It’s been such a great book since Scott Snyder has been writing it and Jock’s art is so freaking good. I’m probably in the minority, but I think Dick Grayson as Batman has been pretty interesting. At least in this book he is. Everything about this book is awesome, except for one thing. There’s one thing in this particular issue that really bothered me. I’ll get to...

If there is one thing that I absolutely love it’s a historical mystery. If there is one person who really knows how to make comics out of them, it’s Scott Snyder. Batman: Gates of Gotham brings a bunch of elements that we know and love about Batman and makes history out of them. Weird. I feel like that might be what Return of Bruce Wayne attempted to do, but failed. This book does it better. I love seeing how Gotham came together as a city, and I’m even more interested in knowing about the Four Families of Gotham. Really,...
