Well, this sucks

Catwoman has been cancelled. Oh well. Less money that I have to spend! At least the goddamned Titans keep getting revived with shitty writers and shitty artists. So there’s some good news.
Sorry, I’m bitter. But that’s how we’re supposed to be on the Internet, right?

Best of 2007 - YOU Pick the Categories!

I figured that this year, rather than do the typical “Best Writer,” “Best Artist,” etc. that we usually do (which usually ends up with the same names repeated for the winners - a certain Mr. Morrison’s name is mentioned quite a few times, typically), I thought it would be nice to have this year’s “Best […]

Aw, man, Wayne Howard died.

  • by MarkAndrew

Passed away of a heart attack at age 58.
According to Wikipedia and this thread on the Soap Operus forums, started by a man who knew him.
Howard avoided publicity and didn’t do interviews, so I can’t give you much detail on his life. Wayne Howard started in the industry working for Will Eisner(!) and spent […]

Comics Should Be Good’s Top 100 Marvel and DC Characters!

  • by Brian Cronin

My pal, Ryan Kirk, is doing a Top 50 Cartoonists thing at CBR, and it reminded me that it has been about a year since I last did the Top 100 Writers and Artists thing, so I figured it was high time to do a new one! This time, though, I am opening up responses […]

Sad news

Mike Wieringo has died.  Wow.  I don’t have much to say.  That’s just really sad.  There’s a lot more about Ringo at the link, if for some reason you’ve been living in a hole and don’t know much about his work.  My sympathies to his family, obviously.  It’s a big loss to comics.

We Want YOU!

As you may know, the San Diego Comic Con is coming up this month on July 26-28. Like last year, none of the contributors here at Comics Should Be Good will be attending, so I figured it would be neat if one of YOU folks out there would represent Comics Should Be Good at this […]

More Comic Links, Please!

MarkAndrew just complained to me a little bit earlier that the Super Duper Links pages was neither Super nor Duper, as it was stalled at E. That is corrected. It now has all the blog links that we had up when we lost the blogroll a couple of months ago. So check the Super Duper […]

What’s the deal with this?

  • by Greg Burgas
  • Thursday, May 31st, 2007 at 12:41 PM EST

Has DC finally gotten its head out of its butt?
Amazon.com certainly seems to think so.
I can’t stress it enough that if you haven’t read this, you must buy this.  Get to it!  NOW!
(Of course, I can’t find it on DC’s own web site, so maybe it’s a cruel, cruel joke.  They wouldn’t do that, would they?)

Oops…a Year Already!

It just occurred to me that we’ve been hosted by Comic Book Resources for over a year now (it was a year Friday, and it just occurred to me as I was typing this that we missed starting on Bob Dylan’s birthday by a single freakin’ day! That would have been awesome!). Well, that’s neat, […]
