Yesterday Comixology announced the most recent update to their much praised comic reading app on the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. However, the press release on their site does not mention the update to 3.0 for Android devices so at this time I believe the update is only for iOS devices. The features in this update are pretty cool to say the least, one of which is increased load speed which is always a good thing. Read more…
DC reported yesterday that Jim Lee and Geoff Johns were on Sirius XM’s “Geek Time” show talking about the DC relaunch and how it felt working with each other for the first time on a comic book. During that interview they let slip who the first villain of the new Justice League series will be.

Recently the Harvey Award winners were announced at the Baltimore Comic-Con and iFanboy has the details. It looks like Marvel and DC made out pretty well with their awards. It is also pretty good to be a god as two Thor books made out with two awards each. I have to give iFanboy big credit for putting this list together. Here is a sample quote from the iFanboy post with the Harvey Award winners: iFanboy: Read more…
It looks as though DC’s “New 52” will initially be a financial success for the company. Comic Book Resources is reporting that with pre-orders alone, Justice League #1 is already over 200,000 copies sold. They are also reporting that another six titles from DC’s relaunch are also surpassing 100,000 pre-orders each. Whether this large increase in sales is going to drop off and is only sustained by speculation, or if the new relaunch has legs and will Read more…

Today I stumbled across an excellent post over on Major Spoilers and I thought I just had to do a write-up of it over here. I have been listening to the Major Spoilers Podcast for quite a while now and I have been reading their blog and have heard several times about Matthew Peterson’s excellent theory on why time works the way it does in the Marvel Universe. Well the post I stumbled upon over Read more…
Join us this week on Comics Coast To Coast as Brian Dunaway (briandunaway.com) talks to Mike Norton of BattlePug about his comic and career. Thanks to all! Battlepug: The Web Comic was born out of desperate scramble to appease iFanboy. They contacted Mike to create a signature t-shirt for a new line of merch. However, Mike had been working exclusively with DC Comics for 4 years and had no original properties that he could reveal to the world Read more…
It looks like DC Comics is on a roll in revealing their previously unreleased covers for the “New 52”. Today DC comics released the cover to Stormwatch #1 and now they are revealing the cover to Green Lantern: New Guardians #1 and I have to say that this cover blew me away. I am not a huge Green Lantern reader and I don’t know to much about these other color corps but I think I Read more…

I have been reading The Mighty Thor since it first hit shelves and I Read more…
Well, it seems that Action Comics #1 wasn’t the only series that DC revealed with a teaser cover image. On their blog DC just released the cover image to Stormwatch #1. DC states that they released a teaser cover with the rest of the “New 52” covers to maintain the secrecy of the Stormwatch team’s members. This new cover reveal definitely has me interested in seeing what the pages of Stormwatch #1 holds. Source – DC’s The Source Blog
