I must say, I’m pretty keen for this series to kick off in December. Matt Fraction is one of my fave Marvel scribes and I’ll pick up anything that Terry Dodson creates. Defenders is one of those lesser known superteams, but Fraction has been giving some intriguing tidbits to CBR about this series all week such [...]

Arkham City Gets Better
I’ve only played a few minutes of Batman: Arkham City and in short, it’s awesome. It’s about to get awesomer though on November 1 when the Nightwing (the grown up original Robin) DLC gets released. His inclusion has been teased for a while, but this is the first in-game video to be shown. XworkZ Studios [...]
Paulo Siqueira’s JLA
Without Superman, but that’s cool. When the rest of the Justice League look this good, who needs him? The always worth visting Project Rooftop has a post featuring artist Paulo Siqueira’s (Amazing Spider-Man) take on a few of the classic JLA members. His redesigns are superb and include Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Batman, Aquaman and [...]

The Andy Warhol Museum’s Alex Ross Exhibition

Known for Marvels, Kingdom Come and a whole lot of gorgeous covers over the years, (mainly for Dynamite these days) Ross is a wonderful talent. The Andy Warhol Museum is in Pittsburgh and here’s all [...]
The Unexpected #1 Review
The Unexpected #1 is a one-shot from DC Comics/ Vertigo. Under that irresistible cover from Rafael Grampa (look at it! a woman in bloody stilettos, with dead birds strapped to her about to go psycho on some ’50s lovers at a skull screening drive-in!) are some great stories, in the vein of Twilight Zone. As [...]
Chronicle Trailer
Using the same found footage concept of Cloverfield and Quarantine, although this film doesn’t really look like it, is Chroncile. Written by Max Landis, it opens in February 2012 and follows 3 mates as they use their new super powers and not heroically. Effectively creepy trailer below. “I’m worried about Andrew.” Indeed.
