Guest Column Written by J. Andrew World
Ed Brubaker has no need to apologize. In fact, Joe Quesada should have defended him. However, I understand the need for Marvel to take the stance they did. I mean their parent company, Disney, always shies away from controversy, plus it makes good business sense. Like they say, shit [...]

First off, I know it has been way too long since my last post. For that, I apologize. This past semester at university was the busiest both academically and socially I’ve ever had. That being said, my readers don’t come to this site to hear about my personal life. They come here to read about [...]

I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated. With all of the major news in the comic industry (Disney’s impending acquisition of Marvel, DC Entertainment, Marvel’s Siege event, and the announcements from the Baltimore Retailer’s Summit) you’d think I have something to say. You’re right. I do have things to say, but to be [...]

Okay, so this 50/50 variant cover for Invincible Iron Man #20 by Patrick Zircher is awesome on multiple levels. Not only is it a good-looking cover on its own, it happens to be a modified tribute cover. The original artwork, by industry superstar Alex Maleev, is from the one-shot Civil War: The Confession.
It’s a really [...]

Video game journalist and comic book writer Kieron Gillen has been selected to write at least six issues of Marvel’s Thor. He will be following the critically acclaimed run on the title by J. Michael Straczynski, and as he states on his website, “JMS’ sudden departure from the book leaves a pair of Galactus-sized shoes to [...]

Tuesday night, I was at Comics, Cards, & Collectibles in Reisterstown, MD for a Marvel 70th Anniversary party. In attendance was Frank Cho, who was gracious enough to stop by the store for a signing even after the busy Chicago Comic Convention. I got him to sign my copy of Mighty Avengers #1 and a [...]

Okay, so while I’ve seen mostly negative reviews for Ultimatum #5, the comic stores I’ve visited in the past week couldn’t restock the shelves with the book quickly enough. I got the gatefold cover because I think it makes for a cool poster for my wall (as if I needed yet another comic-related poster in [...]

I could have spent the last few days writing articles about the various announcements at Comic Con International, but that would have been a bit redundant and a waste of my time. Dozens of sites exist that are already devoted to bringing the fans up-to-the-date announcements. What I will do, however, is point out some [...]

Ryan Reynolds was cast as Hal Jordan in DC Comics’s Green Lantern film. The news spread from Variety.com across the social media outlets. Both “Green Lantern’ and ‘Ryan Reynolds’ reached the trending topics on Twitter. I was surprised to see mostly positive response to the news, as the internet is usually the center of hate [...]

When Marvel announced today that they were going to have foilogram covers (foil + hologram = foilogram), they just had to know that a certain segment of fans would start screaming, jumping up and down, and flinging their poo against their cages. I’d be flinging right alongside them…if I didn’t know how to read.
“Retailers and [...]
