By William Gatevackes Miller, never one to pass up an opportunity to despoil his own legacy (Too harsh? He did give us The Dark Knight Strikes Back, you realize), is writing a comic sequel to his original graphic novel. So says Snyder, making the rounds to promote the Watchmen DVD and the 300 Blu-Ray releases.

By Chad Nevett You know how in those expansive, career-spanning interviews, comics creators tend to, at one point, mention that one comic that changed it all for them?

By J. Caleb Mozzocco After the one, two, three punch of Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns and Maus in 1986, Smith turns to self-publishing his ideal story as a comic book, his experience in strip work and animation giving him a rather uniquely perfect background.

By Sarah Jaffe I consider myself both a film geek and a comic geek, and I will argue ’til the end of days that superhero movies can be as good as any other film (Exhibit A: The Dark Knight).

By Kofi Outlaw Well, last night it was comic book movie-lovers’ turn to get it, as the newest episode of South Park’s thirteenth season, “The Coon,” took aim at the recent trend of “dark” comic book films like Watchmen and The Dark Knight and lampooned away.

By Casey Seijas One of the complaints often heard when it comes to comic book movies is that, just because a film does wonders at the multiplex, it doesn’t necessarily translate into sales of the source material. In other words, “The Dark Knight” has become a billion-dollar box office juggernaut, but whe...
