This is nearly everything, but not quite everything. Mudman ran for six issues from Image in 2011-2013, and the first five of those issues were collected in Mudman, Vol. 1 . It’s clearly a teen superhero comic, another one in the long line spawned by Spider-Man, and slightly more conventional than creator Paul Grist’s previous superhero comic…
The comic book industry shares a great deal with the adult industry: The less talent knows, the better.
This is not a comic. It’s an art book by a cartoonist, featuring covers (from his own books and guest covers for others’ comics), sketchbook pages, odd single-page comics from in-house Image newsletters, convention posters, a T-shirt design or two, some logos for porn companies and stars, a little bit of movie concept art, and other…
I didn’t think I was going to write about Howard Chaykin, Image Comics, and The Divided States of Hysteria. When the first controversy sparked up the beginning of last month I had already committed to an interview with a team working on a Kickstarter project for my column that followed said controversy. While people still…
In the past IâÃÂÃÂve mentioned some of what AfterShock Comics has been up to in my column here, but I havenâÃÂÃÂt talked about them as much as I should. I really havenâÃÂÃÂt been talking about the good work theyâÃÂÃÂve been doing. Having recently read World Reader #1, I decided I need to change that. AfterShock…
Last week I wrote an open letter to Marvel about what the X-Men mean to me, primarily as a reaction to X-Men Gold #1. If you missed it, you can read it here. Since then, X-Men Blue #1 has come out. I read it, so now you get to read me talking about it. Although…

Now, with the help of Reverend Anderson (Philip Glenister), a country preacher with personal demons of his own, Kyle embarks on a…
Rey Mysterio has flown high above the squared circle for both WCW and WWE and now he is bringing his brand of wrestling to LUCIA UNDERGROUND on the El Rey Network. Rey talks about the superstars of the past who have influenced him, his worry about getting injured and his connection to comics. Then music…
Last week was the ComicsPRO Members Meeting. In case you don’t know, this is a gathering of the comic industry, creators, and retailers to discuss the future of comics. A lot of interesting bits of news comes out of these meetings but one thing in particular really grabbed lot of attention. Image Comics head Eric…
Something good this way comes! Not the first but perhaps the best black superhero, Brotherman is returning in 2016. After more than 20 years the Brothers Sims will publish what has passed cult status to become full on legend. All over the comics world people are rejoicing as this beloved Black Universe of characters gives…
Print sales for the debut issue of Paper Girls were 75,000. That’s impressive. This accomplishment is even more impressive when you realize this story includes no capes, superheroes or zombies and was not published by Marvel or DC. But the more you understand the discerning appetite of Geek Culture; the more it makes sense. Although…
