Memoir #1 Review
Ben McCool and Nikki Cook deliver an impressively evocative first issue in this Image Comic (with an awesome John Cassaday cover) about a small town that had the memory of each inhabitant completely erased three years ago. Now that the initial media frenzy has died down, an arrogant journalist has come to the town to [...]
The Death Knell of the Comics Code?
So, DC Comics announced today that they are going the way of Marvel Comics and just doing their own rating system (by the way, DC, I like E for Everyone better than Marvel’s A for All, well done). Is this it for the Comics Code Authority? It was pretty much just DC Comics and Archie [...]

So, Bane and Catwoman in the Next Batman Movie?
Anne Hathaway will play Catwoman and Tom Hardy will play Bane. I am sure that Christopher Nolan will have his own particular twist on these two characters, and both Hathaway and Hardy are strong actors. But of all the Batman villains to pick from, choosing Bane seems fairly odd. I guess Nolan is just going [...]

With all of the luxury, hard cover reprints of comic books, why is it so rare to see any involvement by the original authors? And why isn’t this more of a selling point, as it would be with movies when directors, writers and actors assemble to create a the “special features” on DVDs? As I [...]
