A lot has been speculated this week after Rich Johnston reported in Lying in the Gutters that the real reason 20th-Century Fox sued Warner Bros. over Watchmen was so they could settle and gain the rights once and for all to release the Batman television series on DVD. Many casual readers nodded their heads and…
Comic book fan Charlie Meyerson, currently a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, helped assemble a photo gallery of infamously recalled comic books. We direct your attention to their website. Not every title included here was recalled nor is this list in any way complete. But in the wake of last week’s recall and reprinting of…
Anime fans can look forward to the October 7 release of Strait Jacket on DVD. The film, created by Ichiro Sakaki (Scrapped Princess), was a major success in Japan and comes to America with high anticipation.Sakaki wrote the screenplay for the feature, based on his original light novels, which to date have sold more than…
We are incredibly sad to have to report that Robbie Greenberger, son of DC and Marvel alumni and ComicMix contributor Robert Greenberger, passed away on Thursday evening after a months-long struggle with leukemia. He was 20. He is survived by his father, mother Deb, sister Kate, and everyone who knew him, all of whom are…
Well, duh. That was my first reaction when I read USA Today’s story regarding Manga’s loosening grip on readers in Japan. After all, we lived through it in America starting some 30 years ago, where three things happened around mid-decade: Cable television was introduced and began snaking through the country, suddenly captivating television watchers and…
There’s this great scene at the very beginning of The Simpsons Movie where Homer is at the movie theater watching Itchy and Scratchy – The Movie and then asks why anybody would want to pay for something they’re used to seeing for free. Then they cut to the opening titles. The Sci Fi Channel is…
Over here on ComicMix, we’ve been talking about The Shadow a lot recently – prompted by Denny O’Neil’s fine columns and Robert Greenberger’s first-rate interview with Shadow pulp reprint editor / publisher Anthony Tollin. Without belaboring a point, I’d like to refer you to another remarkable effort concerning comics’ most influential icon. There’s this really…
Well, maybe not the NJ Turnpike, but it seemed like every car in the world was in the Garden State Parkway heading southward both yesterday and today. Kinda fun if one’s travelling northward, but not at all amusing when one is among the plastic and metal hordes. It’s nice to come home to one’s own…
It must come as quite a shock to you. We’re talking about a profound cultural shift for the betterment of mankind, People want this, Richard. They need the superhumans of the world to be responsible, properly trained, qualified…and ultimately held accountable. That’s what the initiative is all about. We’re trying to move out of the…
The trailer. A long seen but woefully underappreciated art form. Now, they’re not only getting the recognition they deserve, but they’re becoming the movies they deserve. First, we have the Golden Trailer awards, being held Thursday in New York (at NYU, no less, indicating what a lot of the Tisch Film School graduates are actually…
I like continuity. Always have, always will. It enriches serialized fiction as found in pulp magazines, comic books, movies and television. In an ideal world, things would be consistent from the beginning of any new creation, but it rarely is. Johnston McCulley altered his own reality after one Zorro novel because he decided more people…
Johnny Hart passed away the other day and in one of the obituaries I read, it stated Creators Syndicate intended to keep his strips, B.C. and Wizard of Id, still going. It seems Hart had been receiving help from family for some time now and much of his work exists as digital files for repurposing….
