Crowdfunding is a pretty powerful thing. It allows an audience’s direct influence in the creation of a certain piece of media, whether it be an old favorite or a brand new idea. This is just as true with comic books as with anything else. Comics that would otherwise never see the light of day can […]
It would seem that there’s never been a better time for superheroes. There are superhero movies a plenty, and some of them are very good. And yet it’s still rather difficult to sell big numbers of comic books about superheroes. Marvel sells the most comic books but even they are looking to increase sales and […]
Arrow seems to have made enough money that everyone wants a DC Comics TV Show. CW is getting Flash, FOX is blaspheming with Gotham, someone I can’t remember is developing iZombie, and NBC is getting Constantine. Constantine, of course, refers to John Constantine a smart mouthed, hard living British mage who fought all the evils […]
Even though the finale of the Kick-Ass saga has been delayed yet again, now set for a June 11th shelf date, this is still going to be the retrospective that I had planned to do in anticipation of the series finally ending. The good, the bad, and the ugly, as it were. So this is […]
Check out Kat’s feature video where she talks about if she thinks we will see Agent 13 on Agents of Shield. We have seen plenty of other cameos on the show that range from Sif to Nick Fury. Would it be that much of a stretch if Emily Van Camp were to guest star on […]
Humble Bundles? Wha? Huh?! Calm yourself old people and the uninitiated, I’ll explain. There is a website which humbly offers collections — or bundles — of things that you can buy at whatever price you want. That’s right. Pay a penny or a grand, just name your price and it’s yours. Not only that, but […]
This is shaping up as a big week for Spider-Man. On Wednesday, Marvel released The Amazing Spider-Man #1, which marks the return of Peter Parker as the famous wall-crawler after the character had been controlled by Otto Octavius for a while. The timing of the relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man is no accident since two days […]
The process of adapting comics into films has become standardized. Passe, expected, and formulaic. It’s no longer a steep gamble or left to chance. All it takes, it appears to be rapidly seeming, is to create one’s very own 20-24 page pitch. A small prep, a log line with panels as it were. Nothing more […]
Man. Did you hear? Marvel is killing off Wolverine in the comics. One of their most profitable characters — one the most popular superheroes in the genre — is going away (for like a year or so maybe). This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has even a cursory knowledge of comics. They kill off popular characters […]
A couple of months ago, Joseph Gordon-Levitt made an announcement that shocked the comic book world: that he is involved in a film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s 75-issue comic book series, The Sandman. In what way he’s involved is uncertain, but reports say that he might not only be starring in the movie, he may […]
