DC loses Batwoman creative team
DC’s ongoing Batwoman has, since the launch of the new 52, been a series worth following. The art of J.H. Williams III is a visual punch (the splash page has never looked so good) and the writing from W. Haden Blackman has kept the excitement of the unknown that Greg Rucka brought to the character […]

Trisha’s Take: When feminism and male webcomics artists collide

Neil Gaiman, Sandman have “one tale still untold”
Neil Gaiman’s Sandman is widely considered one of the best graphic stories ever told. Chronicling the saga of the Endless, it follows Morpheus, the incarnation of Dream, as he returns to his realm after a long absence, and the events that unfold because of that absence.

Saga, Brian K. Vaughn’s return to comics coming next month; Star Wars artist misses the point
Brian K. Vaughn’s Y: The Last Man is a modern classic. A high point in recent comics history, it told a beautiful, difficult and touching story. Since it ended, there hasn’t been much going on with him. But finally, we’ve gotten a look at his return to the medium (illustrated by Fiona Staples!) and it […]
Geekly Speaking About Presents… The Womanthology Panel at NYCC 2011
Due to having gotten hired full-time by the place I’d been temping for all summer, I was only able to go to the New York Comic Con for two days instead of four this year. As a result, I had to carefully pick and choose which panels I attended, making sure that nothing overlapped too […]

Go-Go-Gaijin: ComiPo! Vocaloid For Comics!?
Maybe this software should be called “Comicoid”, because after five minutes of tinkering with it I realized right away who this software was for. Vocaloid, the hit music software that allows musicians and composers to create vocals for a singer-less song, took Japan by storm and has been a huge inspiration to up-and-coming songwriters. I […]

Adam McKay shopping big names for The Boys
If you haven’t read Garth Ennis’ excellent The Boys, you should turn off your computer and go pick up the first volume. You will laugh, be sickened, and have a blast doing so.
