An area DC Comics has been pushing hard is animated adaptions of the company’s comic book properties, including last year’s Justice League: The New Frontier, which earned an Emmy nomination. At a Comic-Con panel, DC publisher Paul Levitz and others discussed upcoming animated projects, including Wonder Woman. Newsarama has a wrap up: Noveck says “Wonder…
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. Yes, the series is still so much better than [[[Countdown]]] that it’s useless comparing the…
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…
This issue is titled "A third symbol now…" but a more accurate one would be "OK, so here’s exactly what’s going on." For six issues, Trinity was a fairly opaque book, with several seemingly disparate storylines and a completely mysterious large threat — the one screaming "Let me out!" in issue one. What do we…
Writing in the Scotsman (which has become one heck of a paper for comics coverage, if only for regular appearances of Mark Millar’s nonsense), Stephen McGinty reflects on more than 20 years of buying comics in Glasgow, and he looks forward to the medium’s potential oversaturation. Flicking through this month’s edition of Vogue (the American…
If you’re interested in comics creators, it’s been a good couple months for biographies. First, we had Mark Evanier’s Kirby: King Of Comics (Abrams, $40.00); now we’ve got Blake Bell’s Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko(Fantagraphics, $39.99). We’ve covered Mark’s book extensively, and our very own Rick Marshall did a swell interview last March….
Things started to coalesce in last week’s Trinity #5, and issue six keeps moving in the right direction with DC’s big three coming to realize there’s a big problem building, and they’re at the center of it. This issue has dueling narratives, one part featuring Tarot now hiding out from Morgaine Le Fey’s wolf monsters….
Hellboy II: The Golden Army begins screenings in just a few days, and in our exclusive talk with director Guillermo Del Toro we reveal just one of the big “easter eggs” everyone will be talking about. You get it here first, plus: Wonder Woman is on the way to DVD The Goon is on the…
At Wizard World Chicago last week, I was struck by how many girls came dressed as Supergirl. Grown up girls wearing the new version of the costume, showing off their toned abs, to be sure, but also lots of girls younger than 12 wearing the classic outfit. Supergirl was my first favorite super-heroine. Wonder Woman…
First things first: I actually, gasp, liked this issue. For the first time ever, Kurt Busiek pulled the storylines together and gave a sense of the big things ahead. Not perfect, but much better than the past few. What happened? The fight against Konvikt finally reached an end, as Batman’s smarts helped the big three…
We’re up to week five of DC’s big weekly event, and I regret to inform you that I’ve already caught myself thinking "same old, same old." What happened? The fight with Konvikt continued, with all the heroes getting knocked around, including your Big Three. At least they took the fight away from civilians, but still,…
Back from a long break, crazy deadlines, and other fun stuff… and, man, it didn’t take long for my windows to stay open again, particularly with the new version of Firefox. So, what’s keeping my browser from running well? Harry Bliss got picked on for lifting a Kirby image for a New Yorker cartoon contest,…
