Last weekend at San Diego Comic Con 2010 we got a chance to talk to Multiple Eisner Award winners Fábio Moon and Gabriel Ba. You’ll know their work from such books as ‘Casanova’ and ‘Umbrella Academy’, also their latest comic Daytripper, which has been talked about on a lot of the our POW podcasts and has even been our pick of the week. We got the chance to talk to Fábio Moon and Gabriel Ba about the future of Casanova and Umbrella Academy, and to ask how Daytripper will end. So join us as we...

Alone, broken and out for justice no matter how big or small the crime is…that is how Scarlet, written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Alex Maleev starts and it promises big, BIG things! I first heard about Scarlet when every one else did around C2E2. The idea as I remember it was promised to start out small and very personal and then get VERY BIG fast, kicking off a new American Revolutionary War ofsorts.Before I get to far into the review please know that this is not a statement on my political views but more of...

We love Matt Fraction’s ‘Casanova‘ series here at Comic Impact. We picked the first collected volume titled ‘Luxuria’ as one of our Book Of The Month’s a while back (if you do not know what the story is, just download the podcast in the link), and recommended that those of you who had not read it should make it a top priority to check out. Well, if you never got the chance to read it first time around, then this is your second chance! No excuses this time folks! ICON publishings are re-releasing...

This is becoming less  unordinary these days by simply  going to your local comic shop you can find one of these handy dandy stamps on the cover of your favorite book and more then likely the next hit movie. You know the stamp I mean. The one that reads now a major motion picture. As of the last few years we have seen some unlikely titles like Wanted,Hellboy,Kick Ass,Watchmen,300,and now the recently announced Incognito. I am sure before I’ve even finished writing this article they will announce another new title coming!...

This weekend brought lots of fun news from Marvel,DC,Image and Boom Studios out of C2E2 or as I like to call it “The Con that I wasn’t able to attend.”. But I am not bitter about it no, no I will continue on like Greg House limping along and taking my Vicodin that is the Internet to get me through my days so that I can bring you ungrateful readers all the news. The things I do for you people.Honestly. So why are you still here? Oh right the news!This could be a long one so you might want to clear your schedule...

This past weekend I was in Las Vegas for a wedding. I was walking around the Planet Hollywood Casino and I saw something that caught my eye, a Kick-Ass sweater.   I told my self ” wow that’s kind of cool. If is under $50.00 I will buy it since I love the book  and I am a  Mark Millar and John Romita Jr fan and I know that film is going to kick ass since I saw a screener back in August of last year. ” Yeah that’s how my brain works sometime . I look at the tag and I saw $98.99 or something like that....

Now that 2010 is in full swing I’d like to wish all of our Comic Impact readers all the best in the new year and charge right back into my Best of 2009 list. Up, up and away we go…. Criminal The Deluxe Edition by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips and Val Staples (Marvel/Icon) It comes as no surprise that Ed Brubaker can write a great crime comic. What does come as a surprise is that any wirier, even one as talented as Brubaker, can take the crime/noir genre and make it feel so fresh and invigorating that it’s almost...

I was lucky enough to see a screening of this film with Comic Impact staff members, Rich and Dana and we all agreed that this movie lived up to the amazing book that it is base on. Don’t ask me when the next issue of Kick Ass is coming out. But I can tell you from the screening we saw you will fall in love with Hit-Girl I know we all did. She is the star of the film. The story of Kick-Ass goes something like this: comic book fanboy Dave Lizewski decides to become a hero to save New York city from the real bad guys- street...
