Reader David K. sent me a great photo taken at the Barnes and Noble in Roseville, Minnesota (click to enlarge). There’s my book (which you can, of course, order here) right between Grant Morrison and Bob Dylan. Hilarious. Thanks to David for thinking of me with the photo, and thanks to Lewis of the Roseville, [...]

Starting today, each weekday on the Comics Should Be Good twitter page (http://twitter.com/csbg), I’ll have at least one comic book review (twitter-sized, of course, but still). I figure I have the account, so I might as well use it. I might have more stuff than just reviews, but you’ll at least get one review a [...]
Oh, Okay, So That’s the Cap News

I dunno, Marvel, it is a little bit like the boy who cried wolf here, no? Edited to add: To be clearer here, I’m not criticizing the news itself. I’m fine with the news. It works for me. It also seems to clearly flow organically from Ed Brubaker’s years long Captain America storyline. I mean, [...]

Every day this month I’m going to feature the work of a great artist, only instead of me picking the artist to feature, they will be picked by their peers, fellow professional comic book artists who are picking out artists (from the past and present) who they think deserve special attention.

Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Gestalt vol 1
Yun Kouga’s Gestalt imitates the format of a role-playing fantasy quest narrative, where characters are rated by power level and spell casting ability, but somewhere itching to get out is a narrative about the fall of an angel.

Marvel is announcing SOME sort of major Captain America news tomorrow, news that will presumably tie in with Captain America #600 (which retailers are allowed to sell tomorrow rather than Wednesday) and Reborn #1. So, what do you think the news will be?
The Reread Reviews — 52 Vol. 2
Since June is the off month between DC’s weekly series, Trinity and Wednesday Comics, I figured it’s the right time to do my first multi-part series reading 52. Each week, a different trade collecting 13 issues. Expect spoilers.

This week, on Batman: The Bold and the Beautiful– no, that can’t be right– Jonah Hex, Mongul, and all sorts of goodness, badness, and ugliness!
There Appears to be an Error in DC’s Advance Solicitations
- by Brian Cronin

- 42 Comments
I see in the advance solicitations for DC Comics’ September titles over at Newsarama that Angela Robinson AND Felicia D. Henderson are writing ongoing titles for DC. TWO black women writing ongoing superhero titles for DC Comics? My computer screen must be smudged, right? That has to be some sort of a mistake. Seriously, good [...]
