In our first issue of Extra Sequential, we had some great pics of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum game for next-gen consoles. Coming this year from Rocksteady Studios and Eidos Intercative, the game set in Gotham’s best (or worst) asylum looks fantastic, and should be a relief for DC fans who are still waiting for [...]
Mike S. Miller Interview
I became familiar with writer Mike S. Miller’s work a couple of years ago through his Deal with the Devil series, as well as The Imaginaries, which is simply a great concept. He’s done work for every major publisher (either as writer or artist) and is most famous for his work on the adaptation of [...]
Mark Waid-O-Rama
I’ll be honest, Mark Waid and Peter David are the two writers that really showed me what comics were capable of. When I dove head long into this lovely medium in the early 90s, these two gentlemen were at the height of their powers and popularity. Not that that’s changed of course! Well, now that [...]

Blue Dream Studios’ Sale
I reviewed Blue Dream’s Hyperactive book yesterday, and noticed that they currently have a huge sale on until the end of January. Of course, I couldn’t help myself and bought something. You might like to as well. Their main book, The Dreamland Chronicles from Scott Christian Sava has an impressive following and you can [...]
Superman/Batman Annual #3 Review
This has been one of my favourite titles since it began with the great creative pairing of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness. Then Supergirl was fantastically (re) introduced into the DC Comics Universe, with late, great penciller Michael Turner. It’s been a while since it’s hit these former heights though. And this Annual doesn’t help. [...]
Australia Day Superheroes
So it’s Australia Day, here in Australia. Obviously. We get the day off work, get to see fireworks and hang out with friends at the BBQ and drink beer. Apparently that’s what we’re supposed to do anyway. I’ll be stuck inside attempting to finish editing two wedding videos. Well, seeing all the Oz flags around [...]
DC Is Cool
Here are my favourite moments from my DC reading this week, in no particular order. From Birds of Prey #126. The artist’s name – Claude St. Aubin. If that’s his real name, that’s even cooler. From Robin #182. The current Robin, Tim Drake, goes to visit his resurrected predecessor, Jason Todd, in Blackgate prison. Todd [...]
Harker #1 Review
This was a surprise. Definitely not one for the kiddies, Harker is a new series from Ariel Press which follows two unlikely English cops as they delve into a gruesome murder on the steps of a church. Take CSI, peel away all the Hollywood veneer, and throw in a dash of that loveable dry British wit and [...]
Unproduced Superman Scripts
For those, like me, who love Superman and believe that apart from the first film with Christopher Reeve he hasn’t been fairly represented on-screen, here’s some interesting news. To cut a long story short, Warner Bros. have been facing legal proceedings for a while now in regards to the copyright of Superman and Superboy. You [...]
Superman/ Batman On Your Mobile
I’m not much for gaming on mobile devices at all. I’d much rather play my Xbox 360 rather than suffer through a tiny screen and inferior graphics. I can’t deny though that I’m amazed that games can now be shrunk to the size of a handheld device that only a few years ago took an [...]
Watchmen Viral Video
The landmark comic maxi-series from the mid 1980s has officially become a film. Despite lawsuits between 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. over actual ownership of the rights, it’s now been legally decided that the film will get a release. Yay for that! I didn’t want to have to pick up a dodgy bootleg of [...]
WAICON Almost Here
When I went to the first Supanova event back in July last year, which was the first time in Perth, Western Australia, I was impressed with the turnout. Lots of kids running around in manga and anime costumes impressed me. So there’ll surely be more where that came from at WAICON. Perth’s major anime festival [...]
Hulk Vs Concept Art
Like Hulk? What about Thor? How do you feel about Wolverine? If you’re fond of those three Marvel superheroes, then the Hulk Vs DVD is for you. Being released on January 27, the animated film is made up of two features, where Bruce Banner’s alter ego battles the norse god Thor and the popular X-Man [...]
