Batman Inc. to Return in 2012!
Phew. Thank goodness! It is a shame that we’ll only be getting a 12-issue maxi-series by Morrison and Chris Burnham to wrap things up. However, we will be getting a 12-issue maxi-series by Morrison and Burnham, so, well, you know, yay!!! Here is Morrison on the news: Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 [...]
Dick Grayson Back As Nightwing!
As per DC’s The Source. I would think that Grant Morrison would be able to write around this, but perhaps not. I really don’t like the idea of this possibly interfering with Morrison’s work. Let’s hope that is not the case! Kyle Higgins is the co-writer of the nifty Gates of Gotham mini-series out right [...]
DC Screws With Readers’ Heads With New Batgirl #1
On the one hand, it sure appears to be Barbara Gordon as Batgirl for Batgirl #1… On the other hand, it’s written by Gail Simone, with art by Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes (good creative team). If you would trust any one writer with the proper handling of Barbara Gordon, wouldn’t it be Gail Simone? [...]
She Has No Head! – Again, She Has No Head…
So there will be no 3 Chicks Review Comics this week, and I thought that the She Has No Head! post that I put up in lieu of it, should try to explain why. Flashpoint/Post-Flashpoint has kinda killed us. Already. Maybe. It’s possible we will rise up again, phoenix-like from the ashes, but we’re taking [...]
Leaked DC Relaunch Covers Reveal Six Titles, Including Detective Comics #1!
Over at DC Women Kicking Ass, Sue has some covers from upcoming DC Comics #1s. Apparently, from what I gathered from reading CBR’s message boards, some fans figured out that if you changed the name in the web address for previous covers that DC officially released earlier in the week that you could find other [...]
When We First Met #7
Each day in June you’ll get an entry showing you the first appearance of seemingly minor characters, phrases, objects or events that later became notable parts of comic book lore. Not major stuff like “the first appearance of Superman,” but rather, “the first time someone said, ‘Avengers Assemble!’” or “the first appearance of Batman’s giant [...]
A Month of Comic Book Sites – The Comics Cube
All throughout June, I’ll spotlight a different web site about comic books.. Like with the month of independent comics, the month of LGBT comics and last month’s month of webcomics, I figure I will let you comic book site/blog owners out there suggest your comic book web site (or blog) for spotlight during this month. [...]

Ten Goofiest Moments in the First Ten Issues of the X-Men
With the release this weekend of X-Men First Class, I figured I’d devote two days to goofy moments related to the film’s release. Today, let’s look at the ACTUAL “first class” of X-Men, with the very first ten issues of X-Men! All ten issues were written by Stan Lee and penciled by Jack Kirby. The [...]

Ten Goofiest Moments in Uncanny X-Men #426-435

So in honor of Azazel’s appearance in the film, let’s take a look at the ten goofiest moments from Uncanny X-Men #426-435, which includes the six-part (seven including the prologue) storyline “The [...]

The Green Lantern movie is going to be just liked Buried, that Ryan-Reynolds-in-a-box film, except this time the box was green and someone has digitally replaced it with a galaxy.
