With Marvel Studios making all of their comic book icons into films after a while, the pool starts to run a little low with choices. We’ve had amazing movies made for Iron Man and the X-Men and some spectacular failures with projects like Elektra. However, there are still some more, obscure, characters that can be [...]

Cover of the Week: Avengers #13
Marvel is doing some X-Men inspired variants this month and getting ready for the release of X-Men: First Class. Even though we will not get to see all of our favorite team members in the film, we are getting to see them in these “through the years” style variant covers. Friends of mine know exactly [...]
Cover of the Week: Daken Dark Wolverine #9
Giuseppe Camuncoli brings his serious skills to our COW column with this great cover for Daken Dark Wolverine #9. It was only a matter of time before Wolverine’s son and clone would meet claw to claw and the outcome did not disappoint. Camuncoli draws a very aggressive portrait for the reader with this piece [...]
Cover of the Week: FF #2
This is an interesting choice for our COW selection because I am not a fan of artist Daniel Acuna. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true. It’s not that I think that he is bad, I’m just not a fan of his style. That said, I really enjoyed this cover for FF #2 [...]
Marvel Vs DC: New Comic Book Movie Images
Some new images and posters have emerged online courtesy of Bleeding Cool, Yahoo and MTV and they are all pretty sweet. From Green Lantern we have Sinestro and Kilowog character posters that would look great on my wall (Julia) and another image from X-Men: First Class and Captain America: The First Avenger. These movies [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern Corps #59
Tyler Kirkham gives us a look into the future of Green Lantern. Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart have new looks in this issue of Green Lantern Corps that will raise some questions for fans. War of the Green Lanterns is the story line that is also continuing in regular Green Lantern [...]
Cover of the Week: Amazing Spider-Man #658
Stefano Caselli brings it hard with this cover for Amazing Spider-Man #658. I think that this new costume of Spider-Man’s could be really tough as a black and white ensemble, but Caselli has made it dynamic. The shadowing paired with that crazy design in the background really work. I’m interested in how future covers can [...]
Cover of the Week: Fear Itself #1
Stuart Immonen delivers us an updated look at a classic grouping of Marvel Comics big three. Iron Man, Thor and Steve Rogers are done well here, yet very simply. Even with Steve Rogers not in his Captain America uniform you know that you’re in for a fight. This really does look like a very [...]
Awesome Flashback Magazine Covers for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
BleedingCool has posted some pretty amazing looking covers for Total Film‘s retro X-Men: First Class series. The three covers are all plays on 60′s style magazines. Charles Xavier is on a Life style cover, Erik Lensher on an Esquire like cover and Emma Frost on a Vogue looking cover. Each one is brilliant and a [...]
Cover of the Week: Deadpool Team-Up #883
Skottie Young has been doing great covers for Marvel for the last few years. Most notably for Marvel’s Oz series. But every now and again he does something with a cover that is playful and fun. This piece really hearkens back to my youth, however, not that it reminds me of Deadpool, but of The [...]
4 Minutes of GREEN LANTERN Footage
Green Lantern Corps assemble! Okay, maybe that’s the wrong battle cry for the Corps, but I still feel like it fits here. Over the past two weeks fans and press alike have been shown up to eight minutes of this summers Green Lantern film and the hype has been great. Finally, those of us who [...]
Justice League and New Batman Films in Mind for 2013 and Beyond?
The LA Times sat down with Warner Bros. executive Jeff Robinov to do a profile piece on the man who decides what films get made for the WB, and what he had to say about their future comic book films will get fan boys salivating. The President of Warner Bros. has his mind set on [...]
Cover of the Week: Batman: The Dark Knight #2
David Finch has become a regular in our COW column and with his cover to Batman: The Dark Knight #2 he just continues to build upon his legacy. To date, this may be one of my favorite of Finch’s pieces. Many of his covers tend to showcase just how awesome dark, shadowy pictures can be. [...]
Cover of the Week: Brightest Day #22
Brightest Day #22 has such a great look to it. If I didn’t know what was going on in the series, I would still be terrified at what I am seeing on the cover. Ivan Reis draws the horrific Deathstorm clutching a White Lantern and with that death smile and the black smoke you know [...]
Cover of the Week: Superboy #5
Eddy Barrows and J.P. Mayer give us an oldie, but goodie re-imagined with this cover for Superboy #5. The classic Superman races the Flash is revisited for the next generation here as Superboy and Kid Flash race for charity like their mentors. This is something that Teen Titans fans have wanted to see for a [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern #63
I have a feeling that with the GREEN LANTERN movie coming up this summer that you all may start seeing more and more GL related covers. Gene Ha pencils this great cover with Krona “The Mad Guardian” sporting a predecessor to the Green Lantern power rings which is a powerful gauntlet of Will. I love [...]
Cover of the Week: Gotham City Sirens #20 Plus What The?
GUILLEM MARCH draws this happy image of what looks to be Harley Quinn in the clutches of her dubious puddin’ the Joker. Harley has been trying to live the cleaner life without ol’ Mr. J. but it looks like she may be having a relapse. Maybe she can hang out with Charlie Sheen in rehab [...]
BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Comics
You know that Batman game I think every one is or should be excited for? Well BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY is getting 6 part mini-series to bridge the gap between the first game, Arkham Asylum, and the second one, Arkham City. Come May, they will be shipping out issues 1 & 2 for $2.99 each. In [...]
Cover of the Week: Let Me In: Crossroads #3
Sean Phillips draws this cover for fans of the film Let Me In with the prequel comic book Let Me In: Crossroads. It looks like Abby and her caretaker are having some good ol’ fashioned fun on the farm on this cover. I love how eerily calm the two of them look, it’s very creepy. [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern Emerald Warriors #7 Plus What The?
RODOLFO MIGLIARI depicts one of Fanboy Jeffs most feared situations and it’s not dinner with the in-laws. “Why did it have to be snakes?” The line made famous by Indiana Jones seems to be the way that our heroic Green Lanterns are feeling right at this moment. Migliari pulls all the stops in creating this [...]
