If you’re a faithful reader of ComicMix (and we hope you are), you may have noticed that we didn’t post the new episode of Simone & Ajax: The Case of the Maltese Duck. It’s not because anything bad happened to our favorite dinosaur and his cute friend Simone. We’re giving Andrew and Jason a bit…
After skipping town last week, I’m back with an all-new spate of reviews for this week’s comics issues. Lots of super hero fare this week, with a few studs and a whole lot of "meh." Book of the Week: Captain America #36 — I know, I know. Not a very out-there choice. But, c’mon, this…
King of the Hill, the Emmy award-winning animated television series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, gave a sly wink to comic books on their Sunday, March 16 episode "Behind Closed Doors." The soft-satirical parody of Texas middle America found housewife Peggy Hill questioning her family’s unity. When entering son Bobby’s room, she finds him…
I don’t know much about economics. It’s all voodoo to me. Unfortunately, the same appears to be true of the corporate bosses of Bear Stearns, the “hallowed” investment bank that was sold over the weekend for pennies on the dollar to JPMorgan Chase.

The long delay ’til the next season of NBC’s Chuck gets a bit of a reprieve this summer when DC Comics — via the Wildstorm imprint — releases a six-issue Chuck comic book miniseries. From DC’s solicit, it sounds like the series will be trying to expand the scope of the TV series, which has a…
Artist Jacen Burrows has already had an impressive career in a relatively short amount of time. His talent, bold visual style and penchant for the darker, more sinister aspects of life have already earned him a place collaborating with some of the most popular and successful writers working in comics today. Some of these writers…
One of the surprise hits in comics last year was I Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets, a collection of stories from Fletcher Hanks, a largely unknown comics creator in the Golden Age who is best described as "the Ed Wood of comics." The bizarre tales – most featured "space wizard" Stardust, who came up…
ComicMix previously reported that Smallville will be returning for an eighth season on The CW Network, but how many members of the principle cast will stay on board? Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) has already stated he won’t be returning for any future seasons and now Kristen Kreuk is scaling back her involvement with the show….
You might not have realized it, but this is the time of year when more Americans engage in more illegal activity than just about any other. Nope; it’s not drunk driving or tax cheating, it’s March Madness… and the crime is called gambling. Studies suggest March Madness is the high school student’s portal to gambling….
So there I was, sitting around LunaCon today, wondering when Jameson’s Irish Whiskey became the universal drink of science-fiction fans. When ComicMix VP Glenn Hauman informed me that Saint Patrick’s Day had been officially moved to today’s date for 2008 instead of March 17, I’ll admit that I was a bit skeptical. "Sure," I told…
It was the job everyone admired, but no one wanted to try: following in the footsteps of Will Eisner on The Spirit. For over a year, Darwyn Cooke stepped up to take on the task and in an exclusive ComicMix Radio interview, he talks about the good — and bad — moments, plus: — DC…
The grind of weekly comics is tough on fans, so imagine the guy who has just finished off TWO weekly series! Fresh over Countdown (and still reeling from 52), Keith Giffen vents and talk about returning to fun stories again in this clip from an interview that will be on the site in full next…
