Grant Morrison and Frank Quitelyâ s All-Star Superman is described as the finest salute to Silver Age ever to be written, embracing all the silliness and heart found in the Mort Weisinger-edited run of the Superman family of titles. Distilled down into a feature animated film, the story remains the same, just tighter. The 2011…
BURBANK, CA (February 15, 2023) â One of the Man of Steelâs most personal tales in DC history â from the mind of comics icon Grant Morrison, and produced under the expert oversight of animation legends Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie â All-Star Superman will be available to own on 4K Ultra HD for the…
More time has passed since these stories per published than had passed for the whole history of the Doom Patrol to that point. As with so many things in corporate comics, in 2018 we’re now deep in second- or third-order nostalgia, memories of particular revised versions of things that have been around, and generating income for…
What do you do with the quirky minor failures of a major creator? Well, you can ignore them, and that’s what happens most of the time. You can also try to spiff them up a bit, and get them walking two by two, in hopes that they’ll look more impressive in company. If the creator…
As Iâm writing this column on Monday the 27th, itâs my grandpaâs birthday. Heâs turning 80 and a lot of the family is flying down to Florida later this week to see him. In the mean, Iâve been working closely with some of the ComicMix team to get Mine! out the door which is in…
Way back in September, it was announced that Marvel was bringing back Jean Grey for the first time in thirteen years. No, not time displaced Jean Grey. No, not the reanimated Jean Grey from Phoenix – Endsong; the real fictional character. IâÂÂve been thinking about this ever since the announcement. IâÂÂve wanted to say something…
Before I jump into this week’s column, I wanted to touch on Iceman #1 since I’ve mentioned it so many times prior to its release last Wednesday. It was a solid first issue and I really love how Sina Grace handled the dynamic between Bobby Drake and his parents. Give it a shot if you…
ÃÂàOver the past few weeks, I’ve been highlighting some of the newer publishers, including Vault Comics, AfterShock Comics, and ItÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs Alive! Press. This week IÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂm covering Scout Comics and Ben Kahn. Ben had self-published a comic titled Heavenly Blues which I had picked up a while back at Carmine Street Comics here in Manhattan….
To Marvel Entertainment, Last week I read X-Men Gold #1 and, controversy aside which I won’t be getting into as you have gone above and beyond to address the issue properly and professionally, it really invoked a lot of strong feelings in me. Because of that, I’d like to talk about the X-Men and what…
A few weeks back I made mention of my newfound love of my local comic shop. And in rekindling a relationship with them, I was torn with what to do with my old comic shop. You see, the manager of the establishment is a longtime friend and colleague whose opinion on good quality pulp and…
Over the past year I have been working on raising awareness of Rachel Pollack’s run on Doom Patrol. She’s not only one of two trans women to ever write at DC Comics, she’s also the only woman to write Doom Patrol. When I was given a slot here at ComicMix to be a weekly columnist,…
Recently I’ve been reading through the Sailor Moon manga that my friend David has generously been lending me. I used to watch the anime when I was kid and had been curious about tackling these books for a while. Reading through these books made me reflect on the greater world of comics and an aspect…
