Recently, DC announced that they are going to be offering what is called “a new pop-up line of horror comics to be curated by Joe Hill.” They’ll be called Hill House Comics.
Now Marvel is bringing back the original Alpha Flight team, and the creative team is from Canada!
One of things I noticed as I checked out the Artist Alley and Exhibitor booths was that most creators had more than one creation available for fans. I was reminded of the old potato chip commercial that said, “no one can eat just one.”
There was a particularly good turnout in the early part of the con, and it got me thinking that bigger isn’t necessarily better, especially when it comes to cons.
Marvel is not a company to rest on their laurels! Now the House of Ideas is again attempting to conquer the audiobook market!
The question is, “Will it be worth their time and effort?”
This past weekend, I attended MegaCon 2019 in Orlando, Florida, and it was something!
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!
