Swallow Me Whole By Nate Powell Top Shelf, September 2008, $19.95 Ruth and Perry are stepsiblings, somewhere in the South – people say “shoore” for “sure,” biology teachers can’t even say the word “evolution,” and the kids’ slowly-dying, live-in grandmother is called “Memaw.” It also seems to be sometime in the late ‘80s, from the…
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…
It’s a wrap for us and Comic Con ’08 , but things go out in style with record crowds and some great people hanging out at the booth like Comic Buyer’s Guide’s Maggie Thompson on what she found to be Cool At The Con Adam De le Pena recalls the fun he and Jimmy Kimmel…
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.

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…
[EDITOR’S NOTE: Our original link to this interview didn’t play nice with the formatting of the film’s title, so I’ve fixed the link and reposted the article here on ComicMix. -RM] Writer Justin Marks has come a long way as a Hollywood screenwriter in a relatively short span of time. After working as a producer’s…
 Saturday at Comic Con ’08 has set a number of records and not just for the bodies walking the floor. A few news “bombs” were dropped about new characters and comics, like Impact and Milestone returning to the DC Universe ComicMix’er Mike Grell returns to the character that started it all Some insight into…
Wait a second, reviews of actual comic book? Isn’t Comic-Con going on? Yes and yes. I made it to the comics shop a bit belated this week on account of the San Diego craziness, but apparently real comics came to real comic book stores this week, although it was an understandably small batch. That being…
Being the conscientious sort, I thought about writing my column early in the week so it would be finished before I had to leave for San Diego. That way, I’d have one less thing to worry about what with the packing, the schlepping, the hob-nobbing, the drinking. At the same time, because I feel a…
Continuing our shameless eavesdropping, ComicMix presents the stuff that you missed while you were trying to get into the party last night… "Alfred is the new Batman." —overheard at the DC Nation panel "Steven Moffat and Neil Gaiman are ‘going on a date’." —from somewhere around Hall H, further speculation that Neil may write an…
Creators have been struggling with how to bring comics into the digital age: CD-ROMs, subscription based services like Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, or for free on the web like ComicMix.
