Shmobots is a pretty stupid book on its face. And it’s pretty stupid inside too. Government negligence leads to a city full of worthless robots (termed [[[Shmobots]]]), and three of the laziest ones hang out with a guy and do pretty much nothing with their lives. The humore here — from writer Adam Rifkin —…
The sequence of numbers 73304-23-4153-6-96-8 sit at the top of each page of the superlative new horror graphic novel The Number by Swedish artist Thomas Ott.. Those repeated numbers create a cadence to the book, a dark rhythm drummed into readers’ heads that’s further instilled through Ott’s consistent use of four panels per page. The…
We’re back from Comic Con and ready to hit the comic shop in search of so much we saw previewed on the floor in San Diego, plus: Kal (Kumar) Penn shows us how he landed on Fox’s House Keith Giffen prepares us for this week’s visit to the DC Version Of Hell ComicMix‘s Denny O’Neil…
As many know, Comic Con International has become more about showing off secret footage of upcoming TV and Film projects than about actual comic books, and for those unable to attend this year, or the attendees who weren’t fortunate enough (or patient enough) to make it into the major halls for the presentations, we’ve put…
We at ComicMix didn’t get to too much manga news coming out of San Diego, if only because of the explosion of happenings and announcements coming out of the convention center. The folks at ComiPress come through in spades, compiling a thorough listing of manga news. Read up to your heart’s content right here.
The hit BBC series Doctor Who is now in its fourth season on the Sci-Fi Channel, and since we’re all big fans here at ComicMix, we’ve decided to kick off an episode-by-episode analysis of the reinvigorated science-fiction classic. Every week, I’ll do my best to go through the most recent episode with a fine-tooth comb…
Despite the graphic to the right, this week’s column isn’t another screed against “everything you know is wrong and will be wrong again” superhero plotting. We’ve pretty well strip-mined that topic, and unless I get inspired by original thought I’ll wait for DC and/or Marvel to make the next move. This column is in the…
As Comic-Con starts to lull into submission (begin your hype for ’09!), I finally get a chance to sit down with the latest issue of DC’s weekly [[[Trinity]]] and ask myself again why I ever agreed to do weekly reviews. Yes, the series is still so much better than [[[Countdown]]] that it’s useless comparing the…
The San Diego Comic-Con Masquerade is in full swing right now, but people are still letting their personal masks down at the most interesting times… On the dealer’s floor: Let’s face it, comics aren’t for kids anymore. So get ’em out of here and let me enjoy the last ten years of the industry. In…
