The comics industry has been shifting from the monthly title to more mini-series and such recently.

In Episode 415, we’re kicking off 2020 with a fun conversation with Richard Rivera, the creator of Stabbity Bunny, and artist Chris Hamer!
It’s only hours now until we leave 2019 behind and meet 2020. I always like to spend the last day or two of a year looking back at what happened, then taking a peek forward to consider what might take place.
It’s time for another special week at the Wayne’s Comics Podcast! We wrap up 2019 with a fun interview with creator Travis Gibb.
It’s always great when something different really catches your attention. That’s what Klaus and the Life & Times of Joe Christmas #1 from BOOM! Studios is – touching and unique! Here is your chance to read our thoughts on the comic in this Major Spoilers review.
I think it’s always good to look back at a year just about over… what went well, what didn’t. I wrote a similar column last year, so I thought it was time to reflect as we turn the last few pages of 2019.
Happy Holidays! It’s time for another special week at the Wayne’s Comics Podcast, with a great interview and my yearly holiday tradition!
Sidekicks used to be all the rage. Originally, they were supposed to be someone younger readers could identify with. Robin was for the kids, they said. He also gave Batman someone to talk with when laying down plot points and all.
Does every masked character/vigilante who selects a sidekick do that child a favor? Or is he doing something to that kid they both would later regret?
That’s part of the story in Skull Digger and Skeleton Boy #1 from Dark Horse.
The biggest news of the week seems to have been the revelation of Superman’s secret identity.
The bad part of this kind of thing is that what appears to be a permanent change will really last for what in comics is really a very short time.
This week in Episode 412, it’s the return of writer Michael Heitkemper.
Hawkwoman returns in Hawkman #19 from DC Comics, and we have a review of the issue from writer Robert Venditti, and artist Pat Oliffe.
As I’m writing this, I’ve just completed watching the first episode of The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths event as well as the initial Aftermath show. Being a DC fan, I loved a lot of what I saw, and am grieving for the loss at the end of that first hour. This made me reflect on how DC handled things pre-event, and what they might have done better. And I dreamed a little bit about what could be.
This week, in Episode 411, I have a great conversation with creator Frank Gogol from Grief and Dead End Kids, both from Source Point Press.
Lois Lane is not a superhero. But she may as well be, given her ability to navigate through tremendous difficulties in a superheroic world. Take the jump for our review of Lois Lane #6 from DC Comics.
