As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite films is a fine Irish delight called Waking Ned Devine. The closing theme is a lovely version of the Irish tune Parting Glass, an appropriate song to come to mind for many different reasons on this, my final column at ComicMix. The refrain of it reads like…
Prepping this roundup a bit early this weekend, as I may be in transit from Los Angeles back to New York as it posts. Seasonal decorations just don’t look the same in L.A. Give me actual russets in nature, not just in store windows! On the other hand, I’ve had a nice few days’ break…
The first sentient race of the DC Universe eventually became nearly-immortal beings of celestial energy, beings now known as the Old Gods.

The world of comic book super-heroes and costumed villains is a dangerous one. And sometimes, you don’t make it out alive. We all remember the tragic loss of Bucky Barnes when he was blown up while trying to disarm a bomb (although he turned up alive again as a cyborg a few years ago). We…
There have been some sad attempts at live-action super-hero shows over the years. On the other hand, Smallville has done pretty well for itself, going strong for eight seasons now. Heroes on NBC has made many TV fans question what may have been a dismissive attitude towards super-hero stories. And shows such as Buffy, Angel and…
As we bid goodbye to August and so much more, we mark endings and new beginnings. Our production head and cofounder Glenn Hauman returns with not one but two installments of his way-too-occasional column, our news editor Bob Greenberger’s been posting up a storm, and it’s rumored that ComicMix has some interesting things coming down…
There’s an upcoming story in the Superman/Batman title that will involve our long-eared Dark Knight getting superhuman abilities (albeit, temporarily). Writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson have been doing great work on the title, so this promises to be an entertaining tale. But did you know that this won’t be the first time Batman has…
The traditional summer vacation week has begun, with most family-types heading to familiar retreats and time shares before the kids return to school, while politicos gear up for their quadrennial conventions with pundits in tow. Gonna be a weird week, I’m thinking. But we’ll still be here, bringing you our regular columns and features. Here’s…
