BC ComicChron: Recent Updates From The War Against Humanity
Bleeding Cool &bull Sep 2, 2010
This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot speaking. Yesterday I was mocked. Mocked for my collating of comic industry bits and pieces. You will mock no longer when I destroy the street you live in with my floating laser eyes. Exactly, now you looked scared. I come for your women.. The responsibility ultimately lies with us. It is not just "The Man" keeping us down. We collectively shape this industry. And I feel that we have largely failed. We failed because we loved the industry too much and were… Full Story »

Yo Vertigo: Resurrect This
Comics Alliance &bull Sep 2, 2010
Over the years, Vertigo Comics has accumulated a wealth of stories that were canceled, never published, or just left out of print and forgotten. That's the type of thing that happens when a publisher makes a commitment to produce risky material. Lots of the imprints output is like black licorice: you either love it or you hate it, so books are either embraced and remembered, or reviled and forgotten, even if they didn't deserve it. That's why "Vertigo Resurrected" is such a fantastic idea. As announced at Comic-Con, Vertigo will explore its archives for a series of one-shots and specials… Full Story »

Blast from the past: a History of Judgement
The Forbidden Planet International Blog Log &bull Aug 31, 2010
I've been indulging in a little virtual archaeology recently and unearthed some old reviews I wrote years ago, science fiction, fantasy, some pop science books and, as you'd expect, some graphic novel ones. It is 1977, and a new international movie sensation called Star Wars is bringing SF to mainstream attention worldwide. In Britain punk rock jars with celebrations for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Something else is stirring in Britain though, a new science fiction weekly comic with the (then) futuristic title of 2000AD. With only Doctor Who and repeats of Space 1999 to watch, no VCR, no internet (no… Full Story »

Major Spoilers &bull Aug 31, 2010
One of the great things about running Major Spoilers is the short deadlines most of us have when gathering stories, pitching ideas back and forth across the email system, and generally scrambling when a big story or idea hits and we want to get it up fast. But then there are those Mondays that throw a wrench into the system. Barry Allen fans rejoice, as Major Spoilers has the REAL origin of Geoff Johns favorite superhero... One word: MOPEE!

Mark Millar Kicks More Ass
The ComicNe.ws Tracker &bull Aug 30, 2010
Yes, the title to Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr.' However, as the next phase of the lives of Dave "Kick-Ass" Lizewski and Mindy "Hit-Girl" MacCready ramps up on the page this October 6, Millar admits that the impact of the film's production has reverberated in the comics world.

So is the even crappier follow-up to a fairly crappy original (like this one is) more disappointing than the merely mediocre follow-up to a pretty damn good original (like the X-Men movie)? The debate continues. Commercials are the devil, especially when they're stuck in the middle of feature films. That said, this 1999 Brendan… Full Story »
