Tax Day is April 18th this year (instead of the traditionally dreaded April 15th). As Americans everywhere fill out the interminable, seemingly endless IRS forms to keep the United States government awash in ill-gotten gains it is cathartic to see even DC’s Greatest Super-Heroes brought to their ...

With his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1939, Superman launched the comic book superhero. During his 72 year history, the Man of Steel’s adventures have been illustrated by many of the greatest artists in the comic book industry. These men are not only great illustrators and storytellers but during ... Comment - Like

Every superhero has a collection of multi-colored long-johns and capes hanging in the closet waiting for the moment when the Bat-Signal lights up or Jimmy Olsen pushes the button on his signal watch, but Tony Stark takes the prize for “Best Dressed Superhero” (or would if there were such a prize...

We all have them. The comic books that we chanced upon that changed us from kid to dreamer. The comic that dug it’s claws into our imaginations and, later our wallets, and forever gave us the “I remember the comic that started it for me” moment.

With the release of Marvel Zombies: Supreme in March, it seems timely to share Wizard Magazine’s Marvel Zombies parody of the Hostess Fruit Pie ads that were ubiquitous in Marvel and DC comic books in the 1970s.

Vigilante #1
What do you get when you cross The Punisher, Daredevil, GI-Joe and Batman? “DC’s desperate attempt to lure readers from Marvel in a half-assed introduction of a half-assed character – Vigilante!”
Specifically, what you get is the 1983 re-launch title Vigilante. The original,... Comment - Like

Frank Miller revisited the shadows of his "Dark Knight Returns" Universe in "All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder"
I must admit that I avoided reading All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder when it began in 2005. I loved Frank Miller’s work on Daredevil in the 1970s. He almost single-hand... Comment - Like

Has it really been five years since Robert Kirkman zombified the Marvel Universe? As an aspiring zombie-pocolypse survivor and rabid fan of Kirkman’s The Walking Dead I snapped up every issue of Marvel Zombies. I was a bit disappointed by some of the missed opportunities in the story (e.g. Heroes ... Comment - Like

What do you get when you cross The Punisher, Daredevil, GI-Joe and Batman? Forget it. Take Batman off the list. Replace him with “DC’s desperate attempt to lure readers from Marvel in a half-assed introduction of a half-assed character”.

Here, for your enjoyment and inspiration, is another of Tom Whalen’s art deco styled monster movie posters, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. When I was a child this was the Universal monster movie that most creeped me out. The sight of the slimy, scary Gillman rising from the muck of the Black ... Comment - Like
