It’s always a big deal when an issue #1000 comes out, as we recently celebrated Action Comics and Detective Comics reaching that milestone!
As much as cons are great places to pick up comics and related treasures, I spent a lot of time interacting with people on both sides of the table. And it got me to thinking–maybe the best part of cons is NOT the stuff, but the people.
This past weekend, I attended the 2019 Awesome Con in Washington D.C., really the only comics convention in the U.S. Capitol.
There’s an important celebration taking place this week that you might not know about. April 25 is Hawkgirl Day, and fans are showing their love for the character in many ways—YouTube videos, illustrations and fun facts.
I know I’ve been talking about DC for a few weeks, but IMHO they’ve been putting out the news worth talking about! Brian Michael Bendis must have given the Man of Steel a serious shot in the arm when it comes to sales because two friends of Superman are getting their own books once again… Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, as announced by the Los Angeles Times recently.
This past weekend I was at the Savannah Comic Con in Georgia with friends. I understand this was their second year, and it went pretty well, with media and comic guests aplenty. One of the topics of discussion there that I participated in focused on the condition of one’s comics and other related items. Everyone agreed on one thing: the condition of your stuff is critical!
According to the folks at DC during the recent Wonder Con event, the title is getting a new logo, one that emphasizes its relationship to Batman.
Like many other Bat-fans, I’ve been waiting for this Wednesday to come for a long time! It’s the day that Detective Comics #1000 will hit the stands!
It’s been building for the past month or so, but I consider the 2019 Comic Convention Season to be formally underway!
If you’ve been enjoying the DC 100-Page Giants found at Walmart like I have, you’ve also had some troubles finding every issue!
There are those that want to be “first” to report something, and that doesn’t always mean we’re getting the truth.
I worry when time-locked characters appear in comics because, as they say, “time marches on.” And it doesn’t stop!
Just before the New York Toy Fair happened this past weekend, some news came out that caught my attention, and it focused on Todd McFarlane’s Toys signing a three-year contract with DC.
Once your comic book or OGN has been published, don’t get discouraged if nothing happens with it for a while. If it’s really good, it just might get translated to the big or small screen at some point.
