Defying less than stellar reviews, DC Comics and Warner Brothers should have a strong weekend performer with Green Lantern. Kicking off the weekend with $21.6 million (that includes the $3.4 million it made for Thursday midnights), the superhero film starring Ryan Reynolds should see a weekend total between $50-60 million. How do those numbers stack [...]

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: 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: 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 [...]
Cover of the Week: Batman Streets of Gotham #19
A delightfully simple representation of the Joker makes it into our COW section this week with style. This is the only DC Comics cover for this month with the white back ground and character logo that I feel has worked. Sure, we have featured a few others, but I have commented on disliking this style [...]
Cover of the Week: Birds of Prey #8
The “Artgerm” has created another piece that I am wild about. I really fell in love with Stanley Lau’s art on his BATGIRL run and I have featured some of that work in the past. His females are done so well, but I don’t think that I have ever seen him draw a male? I [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Arrow #7
MAURO CASCIOLI is back in our COW column with another great cover for Green Arrow. His attention to detail is a huge high point for me. I love the “Lady of the Lake” feel to this cover. I would have liked it if the woman’s hair was not in her face as much because it [...]
Cover of the Week: Batman #705
It looks like Batman has seen better days on this cover for issue #705. Tony Daniel is a rare bird in the industry because he both writes and pencils this series. It’s one thing to tell a good story, but to then put the extreme detail that he does onto the page is very impressive. [...]
Cover of the Week: Birds of Prey #4
Girls kick ass! It’s just a cold… hard… fact. In this ass kicking cover for Birds of Prey #4, it looks like Black Canary has her hands full. Alina Urusov gives us not only a beautiful fight scene, but a great perspective to see it from. I get bored of fights that are the same [...]
Cover of the Week: Superman: The Last Family of Krypton
I love finding new artists for a our COW column. I know that I have my favorite people and I can be a little bias, but it looks like Felipe Massafera has just landed in my radar zone. The cover for Superman: The Last Family of Krypton caught my eye immediately. At first I thought [...]
Comic-Con: Green Lantern’s Light at Waner Brothers Panel
Hall H was ablaze today with more comic book rich film panels. First on the docket was the highly anticipated Warner Brosthers panel. Headlining this was DC Comics movie adaptation of the Green Lantern. With Entertainment Weekly’s debut of Ryan Reynolds, playing Hal Jordan, in the GL costume last week, I was a little skeptical. [...]
Comic-Con: Summit Entertainment Presents RED; Debuts New Trailer!
The entertainment in Hall H continued on Thursday with the cast of the upcoming comic book adaptation Red. Based on the DC graphic novel about retired CIA operatives, Red stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, and Mary Louise-Parker. All but Freeman and Malkovich were at the panel where they debuted [...]
Movie Review: THE LOSERS
THE LOSERS is a film adaption of a Vertigo comic book. The story centers around a squad of a CIA black ops team of the same name. While on a mission The Losers find themselves in a situation that they can not walk way from and the consequences are dire. Thought to have been killed [...]
New Clip From THE LOSERS
Some new footage from the Warner Bros. movie adaptation of Vertigo comics THE LOSERS has popped up online just days before the films April 23 release. The comics a lot of fun, but I don’t think people are buying into the movie’s idea as much as Warner Bros. would like. It seems a bit like [...]
Comic Book Series Review: BLACKEST NIGHT
“A face of metal and flesh shall speak of the secrets of the 52. Fear will rise. Willpower will gather. And a wave of light will unleash the truth behind the power of the ring.” The Book of OA Possibly the worst night in the history of the DC Universe has come to an end [...]
Check Out these Books: Week of March 24th
Comic book fans have known for years that Wednesday is a sacred day. The day that our favorite titles break loose from the gates of heaven and rain down upon us. Every week there are ups and downs, highs and lows. It would be nice to get some direction in a sea of series that [...]
