I don't think it negates Kings Watch since Lothar became The Phantom there and he's going to be the new series' Phantom.

More bronze age than modern, but that one little bonus scene in GOTG = keep an eye on Adventure into Fear # 19.... Wow, those are going crazy already ... some dinged up copies are going for close to $100. I don't know if Blood remembers this or not, but last year in San Diego I was looking for a go...

2) Is this wise? Dynamite doesn't exactly have the best track record for keeping titles going, and this feels a bit "Oooooh, shiny penny!!!" and taking their eyes off the just launched Gold Key titles. Not that I'm reading them. In a way it might be; the vast majority of characters they'r...

I'd say it's the story of Flash Gordon if he returned to Earth and lived a normal life for 30 years. The back page calls it "Buzz Lightyear meets Unforgiven ". I could see that. Originally he called it "Flash Gordon meets Unforgiven" in the early interviews, and the promo images...

His Watchmen contract said once it was out of print the rights reverted back to him. At the time that was understood to be a couple of years at most. I'm not saying I agree with him on many things, but I think he has a right to complain in this instance. I'm quite sure only he and DC lawyers know w...

I can't say that I'm surprised since that Disney did with their comics that Boom! Studios were publishing and IMHO Boom was doing some great work and showing that the long-running Disney comics still had a lot of life in them and showing that some Disney properties like The Muppets could work in co...

They have it in the US, Barnes and Nobles around my area stock it in the magazine section, in the comics area. I rarely buy it since it's pretty pricey.

I do wonder if they're going to censor or change the comic strips Miracleman read as a kid (Captain Marvel). Marvel Comics would likely have to pay royalty fees to DC/Time Warner if they keep that in there, however brief the "appearance" is. Hard to say. Marvel has a trademark on the name...

Wait... it ended on Tuesday night. Actually it ended earlier. The problem was that when they offered the deal it really screwed things up and the site crashed because too many people were trying to take advantage of the deal at the same time. They say they plan on doing the promotion again down the...

I was able to score 2 of the batman inc. #8 at my LCS today. They have a few more left if anyone wants me to check back tomorrow - all on the ones on the shelf had the same little spine ding so I passed on picking up more. Also the new Black Beatle books have been selling very well at the two shops...

I am actually looking even more forward to Jupiter's Legacy by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely coming in April. That book sounds like it's gonna be good. I have not heard of this book. Who is publishing it?. I cant find it on DCBS. Are you sure it is an April solict? It's by the Marvel imprint ICON c...

I just found a detailed spoiler on this issue. I'm surprised in for several reason. One reason I'm surprised is retailers seem to be indicatiing on eBay the new Spider-Man is someone, and they appear to be wrong who they're saying it is. In any event, this is going to be a strange, shocking issue, ...

That is UN-sane.

I'm pretty sure there were other comics that had more variants.

Zarda is the Wonder Woman analogue on the Supreme Power/Squadron Supreme world. She ended up in the Ultimate universe due to the Ultimate Power crossover.

I thought her 1st app, was that one shot Batman: Mad Love? I'm pretty sure you are correct. Her appearance in Batman Adventures #12 was the first time she ever actually appeared in a comic book, counting Animated and Main DCU. Mad Love (which was out a couple months after Batman Adventures #12) is ...

Although there's no completed auctions for just this book, it seems like some eBay sellers are putting buy it nows for Mad Archives vol 2 for more than $200. Same thing is happening with Amazon's used booksellers, too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/250983258513" onclick="window.open(this.href);r...

Hearing about this today inspired me to re-read Watchmen...not my old beat-up, dirty TPB, but I went out and purchased a new printing w/ the "Absolute" coloring...to experience it again all-new :) Just read the first issue and hot-damn...when you're in the mood to read this, it is like th...

Anyone know exactly when Bill Jemas' non-overprint policy ran at Marvel? Thanks. I'm trying to narrow this down as close to specifically as possible. I know it was around 2001-2002. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it there was an uproar about it with Ultimate Spider-Man #1 in 2000. An...

I think the interviews indicated that this Prophet doesn't have any connection to the original.

What are the rules for Public Domain? I mean I was browsing through the site and came across this character that first appeared in 1998 and last appeared in 2004? :? http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Cabala I think that's a character created with the intent of putting in the public domain (or at least par...

Doorman wrote:what's the allure with Detective 871?

Scott Snyder's (who's now writing the main Batman title) first issue of Detective Comics. It's also the first part of the Black Mirror, a story that I've seen placed on a lot of "Best Of" lists for this year.
