Of Schism and new DC figures
by Chris Troy Super-late article this week, as I’m split between a new Bleeding Cool project, prepare to speak to the attendees of AnimeUSA down in DC this weekend, and trying to put as much time into my new video games as possible (Uncharted 3 & Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for the record). Needless [...]
Hurricane Reboot.
By Chris Troy I like Jack Kirby as much as the next guy, but I really don’t feel the need for New York to be experiencing Kamandi: The Last Boy (available in an omnibus) -like conditions. The store will be closing at 2pm on Saturday, and chances are it won’t be open on Sunday because, [...]

THERE, now that’s something [...]

To whit: Justice League of America #58, Brightest Day Aftermath #1 of 3, and Flashpoint: Kid Flash #1 of 3. Superhero comics became the driving genre because they were amazingly ungrounded power [...]
The Weird, Esoteric, and Confusing Wold of Comic Book Collecting
By Unkiedev Did you go see THOR this weekend? Want to start reading the comic? Marvel and Forbidden Planet have you covered, bunky! Here it is: Journey Into Mystery #623! No, Thor’s comic book isn’t called Thor; that would make too much sense. No, Thor isn’t on the cover to his comic book this week…one [...]
