Jonathan Hickman’s New Image Series
This is a surprise. I thought the days of writer Jonathan Hickman unveiling a new creation were long gone, since his now busy days writing for Marvel.

Superman: The Possibilities
Voices From Krypton has a great, but short, chat with director Bryan Singer about 2006′s Superman Returns.

Both are centred on one place with glimpses of cities around the world and both are also extremely disappointing. Battle Los Angeles stars Aaron Eckhart (Two-Face in The Dark Knight) and Michelle Rodriguez (Lost, Avatar) as its big name [...]
Marvel At Starbucks And DC On TV

Herculian Review
This (mostly) awesome one-shot from Savage Dragon creator Erik Larsen came out at the start of March, but I only just got around to reading it. Herculian is slightly bigger than a regular comic (see photo to the left), in a similar size to 27 and Viking and with it’s thicker paper stock, ’70s-styled Marvel [...]
