Death Rides On The Wind - Ginny’s Song From Pretty Deadly
Dec 1st
Fans of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios’ new image series, Pretty Deadly, already are likely familiar with a certain song that when sung “if you done been wronged” will bring Death’s daughter to your aid. It is the song of Ginny, the haunting protagonist of Pretty Deadly, and has been sung by several characters over the first two issues. But an unfortunate limit with stories done in sequential art is that we can hear music or tone when songs are sung in word bubbles and captions. Thankfully some incredible fans have put together music for Ginny’s song and uploaded More >
From Harley Quinn To Stormwatch; DC Contest Winner: Jeremy P. Roberts
Nov 20th
Up until Tuesday there was still some question as to who won DC’s Harley Quinn #0 talent contest, which DC used to find a new artist to draw a single page for this week’s Harley Quinn #0. As many of you likely remember, the contest stirred up quite a controversy, but did get a large number of very decent (and often eerily similar) submissions. The winner ended up being a man by the name of Jeremy Roberts, which is a name some might have seen before in the comic book industry. It wasn’t until today however that we were able More >

Oct 9th
It has been 10 years since Robert Kirkman began his on-going horror comic series, The Walking Dead, and that series has gone on to reach critical acclaim over multiple mediums, with two TV series, several video games, and, of course, an on-going independent comic series that has spanned over 115-issues so far. But early yesterday morning we talked about Kirkman beginning work on a new horror series with the talented comic artist, Paul Azaceta.

Tomorrow sees the release of The Walking Dead #115, the long awaited start of All Out War, the series’ newest storyline. This also marks the series’ 10th anniversary. Both events lead to a need to party, and stores across North America are making that happen with midnight release parties for The Walking Dead.
Aptly timed with the premiere of The Walking Dead season 4, this Sunday, it is sure to be a big week for Walking Dead fans. The AMC television show had its premiere party in Hollywood last week, and now the comic fans can let loose and celebrate a More >

With the recent tidal wave of love for George RR Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire book series, brought on by HBO’s popular Game of Thrones TV series based on the books, many people are reading the books, watching the show, and wishing for more. But there is more that likely many of you are unaware of in the form of several prequel novellas written by Martin. These stories are called the Tales of Dunk and Egg, with their individual titles being The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight. They take place 90 years before Game of More >
Unexpected Losses; Recent Creator Dismissals and Walk Offs In Comics
Sep 5th
It is a depressing thing when a great writer or artist leaves or is booted off an amazing comic. It is a disappointing day for fans, for those creators, for the company, and for comics in general, as that often means the comics we so love are not being done to the best that they could be. Recently we’ve seen DC Comics issue a fair amount of dismissals like this while also seeing a fair share of walk offs. Much of this has been blamed on the company’s editorial and publishing decisions after the New 52 came into creation. But More >
Phantoms & Ghosts: A Rare Form Of Comics Variants
Feb 9th
Late last year 2 groups sprung almost out of thin air, producing rare and beautifully designed comic variants of indie Image titles for select comic shops around the US. Both groups had rather ghoulish names, the first being called Ghost Variants, with the other being referred to as Phantom Variants. Some discussion arouse about the two groups as winter of 2012 set in, but it mainly stayed in circles of hardcore variant collectors. Artist Skottie Young, however, has recently drawn many casual comic fans into collecting variants with his cute Marvel Now baby variants that are beloved by many and drawing More >
