I’ve been interested in the Dark Circle Comics line ever since I first heard about it! After all, I’ve been a fan of the Black Hood, The Shield and The Fox for years now! This week, I get to chat with Alex Segura, editor for those upcoming books, about the characters and the creators who will make these books worth your attention! We discuss what Alex sought out when looking for talent to bring these characters to life, what we might expect and not expect to see when the comics hit the stands, and what the future holds for this ambitious…

With the penultimate issue of Hawkeye on the stands, I’ve started to think about the delays that have had so many readers (myself included) complaining during the second half of the title’s run. Debuting in October of 2012, the first year or so of Hawkeye came out monthly, with slips in the second year of publication, with the last few months of the book essentially appearing every other month or so. It hasn’t affected the quality of the stories a bit, but I have to admit it seems to have affected my opinion of the series as a whole, and…

After a couple of years of doing Zach On Film (at least four months of which were ‘Apocalypse Now’), even a grizzled old media veteran like me has learned a couple of new things, and I’m more aware of the language of filmmaking (than I have been since my college film courses. It can make things difficult for me, as with a recent cable showing of ‘The Black Hole’. It was still fun watching stop-motion robots, green screens and amazing orchestral musical work, but not one you can compare to ‘Citizen Kane’. Some would call it a bad movie, but…

I began reading comics in the 1980s, and not unexpectedly find a lot of my favorite stories come from that decade: The Judas Contract, The Great Darkness Saga, that weird bit where The Defenders ended up fighting in a Doctor Seuss world. Still, I don’t know if I could call it my FAVORITE period for comics, what with the madness of the early Silver Age sixties, the relevant years of the 70s, even the comics renaissance circa the year 2000. There are a great many wonderful periods of comics to be had, likewise with television and movies. I can’t imagine…
I very clearly recall, back in 1982, seeing the cover of the second issue of ‘Who’s Who In The DC Universe’, featuring the Earth-1 and Earth-2 Batmen together, and my friend sarcastically complaining about how Batman should never smile. Of course, at that point in time, it had been at least a decade since the bat had been anything but grim and serious, so there was no real reason for a couple of eleven-year-olds to have any idea that smiling Batman used to be the norm. Nowadays, my kid has access smiling ‘Brave And The Bold’ Batman, 90s gothic-retro Bruce…
