There are very few series I look forward to each month. This is one of the fortunate to make the cut. Along with Geoff Johns’ Action Comics, Paul Dini’s Detective Comics and select titles from Jeph Loeb and Brian Michael Bendis, I know with City of Dust I’m guaranteed a good read. Steve Niles (30 [...]
Paul Dini Signing
At Meltdown Comics, a very cool comic shop, you can catch a peek at writer Paul Dini.

Mighty Avengers #21 Cover

I think there’s also a Cinnamon. Written by Dan Slott and pencilled by Khoi Pham, this January 14 releasing special ish shows the new line-up, post [...]
Official Wolverine Trailer
This trailer was supposed to go live on-line (after being released with prints of sci-fi re-make The Day The Earth Stood Still) yesterday. However, I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it, until now. (Then I realised that due to the time difference between the U.S and Oz, I was too eager) So, here’s the latest [...]
B.P.M Signing
Paul Sizer is what you could possibly call a Renaissance Man. Artist, writer, D.J, entrepeneur. Now you can see him face to face. If you live in Michigan that is. Paul will be signing copies of his latest OGN (Original Graphic Novel), B.P.M. on Wednesday. I wasn’t that familiar with the artist until I checked [...]
The Darkness: Lodbrok’s Hand Review
This is a good stand-alone issue, to be sure. It’s a simple one-shot, but it won’t reveal anything about The Darkness. It’s a very loose tie-in. Apart from one of the main characters being a medieval Darkness bearer, it could be just a generic sword and sorcery adventure. Written by Phil Hester with art by [...]
The Remnant #1 Review
When an actor’s name appears on the cover of a comic, us fanboys become skeptical. Heroes hottie Milo Ventimiglia’s name is stamped on Rest from Devil’s Due and more familiar names like Nicolas Cage have had their input on comics, thanks to Virgin (who also had something in the works with Hugh Jackman. I guess [...]
Farscape Preview
BOOM! Studios has wisely chosen a good, familiar franchise with Farscape and they’re not the only one. Dark Horse has Buffy, IDW has Angel and Doctor Who and Star Trek. TV franchises work, because they have a built in audience. They work even more when they’re faithful adaptations, in-continuity and carry on what the TV [...]
Dark Reign Trailer
Now that Marvel’s most recent epic, Secret Invasion is over, the next phase begins. All that we know so far is that the Avengers will be re-made yet again. Those guys have more roster changes than the Guns N Roses line-up. Anyway, to begin putting the pieces together early, here’s a look at two covers [...]
Dinobots Debut From IDW

Now, IDW, the current publisher of original Transformers comics, including tie-ins to the next live-action movie, are giving them the attention they deserve. The first issue of Maximum Dinobots is a new-reader friendly [...]
