DC Making More Weekly Comics, 3D Covers
Several months ago, I discussed the debut of Batman Eternal, which will begin next month, in April. Now comes word that DC will also have two other weeklies hitting the stores by October. Not only that, September will be anothe...
Comics Portal: More Number Ones!
If a comics company wants to get the attention of comics readers and collectors, there’s one sure way to do it … issue a number one! For example, Marvel has announced that at least two number one issues are on the way soo...
Lex Luthor, Hero?
Recently, news came out that Lex Luthor, Superman’s opposite number, will be joining the Justice League, at least for a while. That’s certainly going to cause friction in that team!
Johns and JRJR Take on The Man of Steel
Remember last week’s column when I said that change is a constant in the Doctor Who universe? Well, fortunately for us, change is also taking place in the Superman universe! As reported here at MajorSpoilers.com, two big talent...
Making a Titan out of Doctor Who?
Change is a constant in the universe of Doctor Who. Every few years, the main character regenerates into a different person. For example, Matt Smith recently handed over the role to Peter Capaldi, a decidedly different actor, s...
Don’t Fall in Love with a Superhero
Just visit your local grocery store and you’ll discover that Valentine’s Day is coming soon. I’m always happy when that holiday goes by because it means February is half over, that month bringing the worst weather of the year w...
The Dynamic Duo on DVD … Finally!
Late last week via Conan O’Brien’s tweet, Bat-fans found out that the original Adam West/Burt Ward Batman series from the 1960s was heading to DVD! The show aired from 1966 to 1968, and while the motion picture based on the sho...
It’s Amazing! Peter Parker Returns!
When you’ve read comics as long as I have – a really long time now – there are certain patterns I’ve noticed in how both Marvel and DC do certain things. One of those, which I honestly despise, is to rep...
COMICS PORTAL: Star Wars Returns to Marvel Comics
“In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe,” said a press release from Disney recently. It’s bee...
COMICS PORTAL: The Best of 2013!
The year 2013 may go down as one of the best years in comics in recent years. Every company was “upping their game,” and the quality of storytelling went up as well, in my opinion. To wrap up this year, I want to share what I c...
COMICS PORTAL: Comics as Christmas Gifts
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day, so the gifts will be given, unwrapped and enjoyed. But as a comics reader, I’ve often found this holiday to be somewhat disappointing. And I’ve often spoken with other comics fans, and many of yo...
COMICS PORTAL: The End?
Something interesting is happening in comics these days – stories that actually end!
COMICS PORTAL: Spider-Man’s Eyes and Batman’s Ears
I read a lot of “whodunit” stories, and watch a lot of mystery shows on the tube. I have to know who is responsible for what happened, and why. My TiVo is chock full of detective shows. The puzzle I’m trying to solve these day...
COMICS PORTAL: From Comics to TV
To this day, I still can’t believe that Arrow is a show on The CW! Normally, programs on that channel are much more focused on relationships among teens and post-teens. Arrow, on the other hand, has its share of dialogue, but t...
COMICS PORTAL: There Are No Bad Characters!
There are no bad characters. Only bad writers. Or at least, writers who don’t know what to do with the characters.
COMICS PORTAL: Comics and Collectibles
Don’t get me wrong. I read a lot of comics every week. But as hard as it is to believe, sometimes comics just aren’t enough.
COMICS PORTAL: “The Avengers Effect”
This Veterans’ Day holiday weekend has been a great way to remember those who served in the military to protect our freedoms. It also was a chance to catch Thor: The Dark World for the first time in theaters. It did well, the b...
COMICS PORTAL: Show “Business”
During September, DC Comics released their “Villains’ Month” titles with a regular cover and one that was in 3D. If you want to see just how popular the latter actually were, take a few minutes to look out on eBay. You’ll find ...
COMICS PORTAL: Why Beware the Batman May Be Done
Recently, site head honcho Stephen Schleicher reported that Cartoon Network’s Beware the Batman was no longer on the air. He noted that some rumors have been circulating that the animated show might return in January. Sound fam...
