DMP Licenses Itazura Na Kiss Manga
In a very unexpected move, DMP has announced it has licensed an unfinished shojo classic Itazura Na Kiss according to Anime News Network. (“Classic” in this case means the manga ran in the 1990′s). They plan to release the title in omnibus format (i.e. two volumes combined) with two planned for release so far (1st [...]
The only “best-of” list you need!
Is mine, of course! Oh, and I apologize for the length. You do know how I like to go on, right?
Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: Matt Baker Covers
With Barack Obama in the White House and Black History Month just around the corner, I thought that it would be a great time to take a quick look at some of the fine covers by comicdom’s first African-American artist of note: Matt Baker.
A Month of Writing Stars – Raina Telgemeier
Every day this month I’m going to feature a current comic book writing “star,” someone who I think is a very good writer. I’m mostly going to try to keep from the biggest names as much as possible, because, really, do I need to talk more about the awesomeness of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and [...]

Discussion of the Moment

I started going to conventions and the difference between webcomic money and small press money was so obscene it made me feel bad. Seriously. I was making more money by giving away my comic online than everyone I ever saw who self-published their comics or who went through smaller independent publishers and Diamond. It’s a [...]
What Final Crisis #6 Was Missing…
I think the following would have made some folks happier if DC and Editor Eddie Berganza had had the foresight to include it in Final Crisis #6…

Found via the Absorbascon, Mark Aaron James’ “Aquaman’s Lament” is a song about the king of the seas being a hopeless romantic and getting soused on gin. Hence, it was written just for me. Enjoy.

Interesting Kevin Huizenga News
Reader Owen sent me a link to where Kevin Huizenga announced that he is done with Or Else (Less than a month ago, in an interview with Brian Heater, Huizenga mentioned that Or Else #6 was half-done and soon to be released, but instead, the issue will not be released). I’d say this was sad [...]
Dark Avengers #1 Review
While this comic certainly does make you wonder if this is seriously intended as an ongoing title (and since it is likely going to be a high-selling comic for Marvel, I’d imagine that it will be, somehow), it is also a strong beginning for one of the first big issues spinning out of Dark Reign.
Superman Beyond #2 Review
Doug Mahnke gives us all a good sign of what we can look forward to next week in the final issue of Final Crisis with some outstanding artwork of what is one of the more straightforward issues of Final Crisis by Grant Morrison (outside, of course, of that ultra straightforward one-shot about Black Lightning and [...]
