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.
There’s something special when comics characters who don’t interact regularly get the chance to work together! That’s particularly true when at least one of them is popular today!
DC recently announced a new campaign to help promote their graphic novels in libraries and schools across the nation called, “Be a Hero, Read a Book.”
Recently some figures came to light that showed Kickstarter hit a new fundraising record in 2018, particularly when it came to comics.
Turns out 2019 is a big anniversary year for at least two comics companies—Marvel and IDW!
I’m a big believer in variety in my reading. Yes, I buy a lot of superhero comics, but I’m also fascinated by mysteries, crime stories and other kinds of storytelling. I wish I could tell you what I’m going to like, but I often don’t know until I see it. One of my favorite comics companies is AfterShock, and they’ve declared 2019 “The Year of Reading Dangerously.”
At midnight tonight, we leave 2018 behind and stand at the precipice of a new year, 2019. Psychics make a living out of predicting the future, but while I’m no psychic, I have some thoughts on what we just might see in the coming months.
I wrote a similar column about three years back, but I thought it was worth an update as we near the end of 2018… sort of a “state of the industry” from my perspective before we move into a new year. First, of course, I need to give my yearly advice to people buying gifts for comics fans, especially late ones (hey, guys, it IS Christmas Eve)! Do NOT try to buy an item you THINK they might want! Chances are, they either have it or don’t want it if they haven’t already bought it. Instead, locate their local comics…
