By Comic Culture Warrior 1. I think it’s fairly obvious who I think has done a better job between Marvel and DC. Hint: It’s not Marvel. I really felt like DC have definitely delivered the quality this year. From Batman: Reborn to Blackest Night to Wednesday Comics to R.E.B.E.L.S. to The Unwritten to the Blackest Night Ring pro...

By David Pepose DC announced that they would be bringing Milestone into the DCU proper in 2008, where Icon, Hardware, and the Shadow Cabinet guest-starred with the Justice League. Since then, Static has — perhaps not surprisingly — gotten the most time in the mainstream DCU, having joined the Teen Titan...

By Brian Cronin JoeMac and Adam: I like the captions on the Action Comics cover. The way it's phrased, it almost seems that Superman is more surprised ... Homages aren't the end-all be-all here, I don't think. (Watchmen #2, for example, had a lot more homages than ...

By Brian Cronin Okay, so this is what we're going to do for the month of November. When I was doing the Top 70 Most Iconic Panels in Marvel Comics History, someone noted that this could easily be termed DC Comics' 75th Anniversary, what with National Allied Publications starting up in 1934 and all. I think tha...

By Travis Justice Society of America 32 � The team starts to understand that the All-American Kid may just be innocent, but only to fall for the idea that King Chimera may be the culprit.

By Russ Burlingame The Warner Brothers Home Video weekly e-mail newsletter just hit, too, which offers fans a shot at up to 40% off all DC Comics products at the Warner Brothers website.

By Travis An issue so bad, it can have no other issue reviewed beside it. Wonder Woman 37 by Gail Simone and Aaron Lopresti I tend to cover a lot of the week's issues in one post, but every once in a while, a comic comes out that is so bad, it deserves study. This is a case study on how NOT to do a comic book.

By J. Caleb Mozzocco He reappeared later in the run and ultimately joined the Justice League, but has had few appearances in the last decade or so.

By Travis The final two pages are static again, with a spread of the JLA. Hawkman is included, and that’s a big mistake. The recent reunion of Atom and Hawkman in Blackest Night was simply amazing, and it was supposed to be their first contact after a while. To have both characters here in a pre-Blackest N...

By Dirk Deppey “The new [DC Comics] publisher should be a) someone from outside comics and b) should own a Kindle and an iPhone.” - Tom DeFalco   Literary Comics Pop Comics Above: panel from Star-Spangled Comics #26, ©1943 DC Comics.) Manga Comic Strips Digital Comics Comics Culture Today:

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) Paul Levitz to Segue from President & Publisher of DC Comics Current DC properties in development and/or production at Warner Bros. Entertainment include: – Warner Premiere’s direct-to-platform DVD animated release of “Green Lantern: First Flight” debuted July 28.

By Travis The move might be wonderful for Levitz himself. He has had a wonderfully lengthy career in his position as CEO and Publisher of DC Comics. Originally in the DC writing stable, he handled the big characters, but was most beloved for his excellent abilities on the Legion of Super-Heroes. As mos...

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) Superman first appeared in Action Comics No. 1, which was published in 1938, and sold to DC Comics by Siegel and co-creator Joel Schuster.

By Graeme McMillan With the second issue of DC Comics' Batman and Robin released today, we asked writer Grant Morrison why we need a new Batman, how sane Bruce Wayne really was, and whether Batman is actually sci-fi or not after all. Batman and Robin #2 is in comic stores now.

Nightwing falls for the electrified cowl and cape trick, which also is bad, because Dick used that trick on someone else in another comic recently. They use some unmentioned dark horror that Jason endured as a youngster on the street, brought up by ...

By brucecastle 1. Detective Comics #853 Pretty even between Marvel, DC, and Indies, but DC did snag the top two. Then again, DC was also responsible for the worst book of the month. Overall, I’d say that April was a pretty good month for comics. All five of these books were a hell of a read.

By Henry Chamberlain If there is anything I would fault the Mysterius series for it is that I am left with a desire for more. As it is, I think Parker and Fowler have packed in as much wit and style as one can hope for in a comic book, especially with such detailed art work to compliment such sharp writing. The strengths...

By Cousin Dick The Golden Age Flash gets some deserved attention in Brave and Bold #13 when he teams up with Batman.  Jay Garrick is one of the few people who can put Bruce Wayne in his place, which he does several times in this story.  I love this panel with Garrick running alongside the Batboat, after reject...

By Greg Hatcher I even enjoyed the followup-sequel-conclusion in Action Comics Weekly twenty-some years later by Martin Pasko and Dan Spiegle. You can find the Superman and Batman ones relatively easily from a number of secondhand dealers… but boy, the Captain Marvel one’s hard to come by.

Notes: While this is technically set in a mutual DC Movieverse that shares characters, characterizations, and backgrounds from both Batman Begins and Superman Returns, the actual story takes place long before either movie occurs. Written on request for likeadeuce. Much gratitude is e...
