Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: 1958 – A Year in Review Pt. 1

Here’s a look at what [...]

Zack Snyder to Direct Superman?
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting (funny that) that Christopher Nolan has decided on Zack Snyder as the director of the next Superman film. The 300 and Watchmen director has not actually signed on to do the film yet, but negotiations apparently have begun. What do you folks think of the possibility of a Snyder-directed film [...]

She Has No Head! – Ladies Comics Project, Part 1
Did any of you read a hilarious post by Laura Hudson on her Myriad Issues blog like three years ago where she had her mom read comics? If not, head over and read it now, because it’s fantastic, and half of the inspiration for this column as it’s a post I’ve never forgotten (how can [...]

Sunday Brunch: 10/3/10
Finally, it returns…! Beneath the fold, I discuss recent episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and survey this wretched hive of scum and villainy we call the comics internet. QUESTION OF THE WEEK(S): What would EC Comics look like, feel like, read like today, if the company never closed its doors?

- by Brian Cronin
- in Comic Reviews
By Rich Chapell Most of the books you can buy in Artists’ Alley suck. That’s just a fact of life.

The sheer number [...]
