EVERY comic book is a horror comic book from the perspective of a tree. Imagine if a plant handed you a book, with brightly colored versions of super-powered plants. Not so creepy… but what if the book was printed on MULCHED UP HUMAN SKIN?! […]
FIRST OFF, Galacta: Daughter of Galactus one shot is out this week by Empowered creator Adam Warren. I expect you all to buy a copy. Two copies if you can. Adam is one of the brightest talents in the biz. […]
Good ole’ Free Comic Book Day has come and gone. What do we have to fill up the void in our hearts that it has left behind? How about this upcoming Wednesday, a day so […]
IDW Has surpassed Dark Horse and Image last week to take up the mantle of the industries third largest publisher. How things change. How did they do it? There’s no magical secret, they did the […]
TWO important bits of information before we move on to unimportant information, i.e. my column; First of all, March 14th is Daylight Savings time.

Apart from the summer of 2008 when Iron-Man was (briefly and strangely) the king of cool, Batman is the A-#1 comic-book bad boy that every living creature on Earth wants to be. Even actual bats! FUN FACT: do you know why the Dinosaurs went extinct? They all committed suicide when they found out it would be another few 100-million years before they could read “The Dark Knight Returns.” […]
We’re big memorabilia people here at The Daily Planet, even bigger at the store. All I can say is that if I ever get the chance, I am so buying that full size Thor helmet. […]
