Guess the Real Spoiler! (July 7, 2010) Updated with Answer
It’s another week where comics in the United States are delayed a day thanks to a holiday while not being the case in Canada, so it’s time for Guess the Real Spoiler, the game where I give you a spoiler for all of the comics I’ve read this week, but only one of which is [...]

Committed: Exquisite Corpse
At times it seems as if writing a comic about an established character is some sort of twisted game. Writers are asked to not only write compelling storylines, but also honor the existing character of the heroes depicted, have them speak with their own voice and language, and behave as people expect them to. While [...]
Flash #1-3 Review
The first few issues of Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul’s Flash have come out, and I’m having a hard time coming up with a word to describe the series. While it sounds a bit weird, I have settled on “delightful.” I was looking at some synonyms of “delightful” and they included pleasant, enjoyable and charming [...]

As I’ve done twice before in 2007 and 2009, this year, I’m doing another blogathon for charity. For those who don’t know (or remember), a blogathon is where you post on your blog every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. It’s a geeky, fun sort of way to raise a little bit of money for [...]
I Love Ya But You’re Strange #3
This is the third in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of pieces looking at instances in comic book history where somewhat strange occurrences took place. The slightly odd stuff like, say, Luke Cage telling Doctor Doom “Where’s my money, honey” after Doctor Doom stiffs him on a gig. Stuff that is not BAD, [...]
Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: DC’s Two-Shots
I’ve always loved One-Shots, but they are usually designed as such and are plentiful. There are tons of short-lived series, whose fates were sealed once sales figures began to roll in. A series lasting a mere two issues, however, is a rare thing and a real mystery as they are clearly not one-shots, but were [...]

According to reader Michael (who read it in the recent Adam Hughes art book DC released), Adam Hughes’ neat pin-up in the 600th issue of Wonder Woman (you can click on it to enlarge)… featured children who were based on the cast of Friends, because that was on in the background when Hughes began working [...]
