one of the better short-run publishers over the years, and they understood comics on the web from the get-go - people forget that about CrossGen. if they just hadn't overshipped those anthology...

Starlin came out of the fanzine world. he had created some characters on his own prior to working for Marvel (one of whom even resembled Drax a little). Have you ever heard of those characters? it's...

Maybe it's my age and how long i've been reading comics, but those examples, to me, are relatively recent. there were decades of Thanos stories being done by Jim Starlin. Thanos stories not by Jim...

why now? maybe because prior to this, almost all use of Thanos has included Starlin's participation, so that he was profiting (at least in wages) from the use of his creation. As far as I know,...

I realize that it's Deadman at the CW, but Supernatural has been pretty blunt in their depiction of an absent God, rebel angels, and the supernatural effects of the fight between heaven and hell. As...

this title was one of the last gasps right before Crossgen died, and I don't remember much about it, except that it had promise. If I remember correctly, it had almost nothing to do with the sigils...

I did not expect to see these two titles brought back, since they were so late in the Crossgen timeline, especially KKBB. Route 666 was pretty much my favorite Crossgen title at the time, and I'm...

just because you have characters acting misogynistic or a misogynistic society doesn't make the work itself misogynistic. those early volumes of Cerebus clearly show the male characters as WRONG in...

I see someone else already pointed out that Chandler was the third (and last in the regular sequence) published in the Fiction Illustrated series. The first was published in January, with Chandler in...

Back when Austen was mainly known for his porn comics (primarily "Strips," which should be reprinted by someone), he did a series called "Hardball" that was a porn comic about baseball players.

The comic publishers will get my digital business when a "digital sale" means that they've actually sold me a file, not just rental on a "cloud file" that they can revoke whenever they wish or that I...

There's an even bigger issue when it comes to trade publishing: they publish seemingly anything and everything, but don't act like a real publisher when something actually takes.

I ignored the new...

I would argue that the Grant Morrison Doom Patrol was an Invasion spinoff - yeah the book was already around, but the metagene bomb gave them the perfect way to write off the characters they didn't...

this is a really big task. As mentioned by an earlier poster, he's got to fit the story around the current songs and big stunts. But then again, that's kind of like the old "Marvel-style" writing...

Boom! still has to work with Disney on their current licenses - they're not going to say anything too negative or controversial. The fact that only the Pixar were pulled would seem to indicate that...

The Big Nate books by Lincoln Peirce are like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books in being a hybrid of comic and traditional prose book. But there's a stronger comics connection. "Big Nate" is an actual...

the CCA was a member-supported oversight organization - the member publishers pay a yearly fee to be a member and then so much per book that gets reviewed. The Board of the CCA was made up of...

This will be something like the fifth time I've bought those first few issues, but I don't care. I liked this series and stuck with it to the end (a satisfying conclusion too). I even bought the Fish...

the article indicates that the scripts were in play before the graphic novel and are "legally connected" to what became the comic. So Rosenberg would be connected to this legally, as he would be the...

Given that Hollywood has taken great comics and made horrible movies from them, maybe they'll do the opposite with what was a horrible, horrible graphic novel. Men In Black was not that good as a...

I have really enjoyed seeing the yin-yang cover image from the Iron Man comic on all of the articles about Marvel and digital comics. Every time I see that image, it reminds me of CrossGen - who had...

My knowledge of manga is mediocre, but weren't most of CMX's titles fairly old - kind of like a publisher reprinting only Bronze Age superheroes to compete with other publishers reprinting more...

The success of this series did not surprise me, as I was a huge fan of Bedard's space epic Negation back in his Crossgen days. In many ways, this series feels like a revival of that series, which...

Remember the 60's band "The Move?" -- "come and take a ride on my omnibus..."

The Fallen Angel (and Desperadoes) Omnibus is an incredibly strong product. It's a brick!! Most omnibi these days are...

I purged something close to 20 longboxes of comics this summer. I went through each box carefully and pulled out the individual books or series that I actually do re-read or intend to re-read. The...
