'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' exhibition invades Eurpe
downthetubes.net news &bull Dec 6, 2011
An exclusive "selling exhibition" of art from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen saga opens later this month in various continental locations. In close collaboration with Alan Moore, acclaimed writer of Watchmen, From Hell and V for Vendetta, Kevin O'Neill visualises an alternative history in which a team of famous fictional characters live real lives and tackle terrifying threats to humanity. Rich with literary and artistic allusions, O'Neill's meticulous pages conjure up a fantastical parallel London from fog-shrouded Victorian mysteries to 1960s psychedelia and 70s punk. This exclusive selling exhibition at Galerie Champaka, Brussels and Galerie 9eme… Full Story »

The last week or so:
Random Happenstance &bull Nov 29, 2011
Over the long weekend, I was offline for most of it. I managed to catch a bit of reading, after hitting up The Book Exchange in Missoula, MT. (For quite a while when I was in college, I bought most of my comics there.) First, Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis. It's a fun, fast-moving, hilarious read, that's inappropriate for just about anybody. A private eye with a knack for stumbling… Full Story »

DC & Amazon Deal In Digital And Print
Comic Book Resources &bull Nov 22, 2011
As far as sales partnerships go, it's fair to say that the deal between DC Comics and online retail giant Amazon received a rockier reception than either side expected. But with the launch of a new Amazon storefront for the publisher's digital and print offerings today, both players are banking on an influx of interest from readers. Last month, DC announced that it would offer up 100 trade paperbacks and graphic novels as digital downloads exclusively on Amazon's new Kindle Fire tablet. Their hopes at a forward-looking PR bump were soon dashed as brick and mortar book chain Barnes &… Full Story »

CBR Review: iZombie, issue 19
CBR Reader Reviews &bull Nov 22, 2011
One of the (many) things I like about "iZombie" is that it's completely and utterly dependable. I feel like Chris Roberson and Michael Allred have gotten the title to the point where, month in and month out, I know what sort of tone and enjoyment I'm going to get out of the book. It's the comic book version of a warm blanket and a mug of… Full Story »

CBR Review: Red Hood and the Outlaws, issue 3
CBR Reader Reviews &bull Nov 22, 2011
Red Hood and the Outlaws" #3 is a more interesting comic conceptually than it is in execution. When I think about the issue, I find myself liking it; when I flip back through it, that enjoyment disappears. Conceptually, it's a straight up action book with a flashback for each of the main characters that helps shed some light on their personalities and adds… Full Story »
