Periodically, we'll do a more extensive interview with people in the comic book industry. This isn't about spoilers, or getting to the bottom of important issues. This is finding out what makes this tick. You know, really getting into their psyches or whatever. This time, I'm chatting with Marv Wol

Ra's All Good!
Ra's al Ghul is back! After being stabbed by his daughter, and his cremation overseen by Batman, Ra's is back because this is a comic book, and no one is really dead forever, especially someone who has a Lazarus Pit and is over 500 years old. A pencil stage advertisement for this December's eight-p

Sinister "Star Trek"
Edward Gorey, the macabre author known for his dark picture books, was an inspiration to everyone from Tim Burton to Charles Addams. A self-proclaimed pop culture junkie, Gorey loved "Star Trek," and in honor of the gloomy illustrator, Shaenon K. Garrity has taken it upon himself to re-imagi

"Spider-Man: Friend or Foe" Preview
Marvel has posted a news story on the upcoming Spider-Man video game, which actually looks pretty sweet. For those that haven't been keeping up with the Activision-produced Spider-Man games of the past few years, they are a cut above the usual comic-video game quality and get better with every rel

Marvel Suuuuuperheroes vs. Street Fighter
Say that title in a very, very nasal voice, and you now can imagine what I heard almost every single lunch-time during college. Walking by that arcade area next to the cafeteria was like hearing a Siren calling me. "Quarters..." she would say. "Feed... Me... Your... Quarters..." Anywho, I really

Don’t leave crazy people alone
I read Walking Dead #41 and I liked the issue, spoiler. I was upset with leaving a zombie on the inside. Especially when it is left alone with a crazy lady. I have enjoyed Walking dead and because things have been crazy, I have sometimes enjoyed the down time or the slow stuff when characters ar

JLA Rumors Get Crazy
In an age where it is finally attractive for established big-name talent in Hollywood to play superhero roles in movies, it's getting harder and harder to tell the genuinely possible casting rumors from the blatantly made up casting rumors. In point of fact I did not actually know where to land on

The Fantastic 4 to 6?
So I just read the Last Fantastic 4 story. Spoiler it is not the last Fantastic 4 story. Hopefully it is the last one Stan Lee does. That was the whole point of it, but you know comic books if it sells it won’t be the last. So, don’t buy it. There is no continuity Captain America is alive. A

Ex Machina worth the extra cash
Halloween has come early. This issue starts a little slow, but it is a great issue nonetheless. Obviously the drawing and art is fantastic! The writing is tight, but sometimes preachy. That being said, I feel that the comic is saying a lot of cool stuff. I really liked the last page, tastefully
