During my years working at the comic shop I endured quite a bit of good-natured teasing over my Nightwing crush. I've got a wall in my office completely devoted to sketches of the character. My former boss still pulls Nightwing comics for me and knows that if there's a sexy variant cover, I'm probably buying it. When Dick rescues a puppy in the current "Nightwing" run from Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo I felt like I was reading erotica created just for me -- if you've not read it, do so immediately! I know I'm not alone. Nightwing fans are legion.

This week is one monumental week for Wonder Woman. After 75 years, the Amazonian princess is finally about to star in her own movie – which it turns out is critically acclaimed. To mark the occasion, DC has given us Wonder Woman Annual #1, the first annual to star the character in the Rebirth era. It’s an anthology collection containing several short stories which each demonstrate just how amazing Diana is.
The highlight for many fans will be the annual’s opening tale, ‘And Then There Were Three,’ courtesy of current Wonder Woman writer Greg Rucka. It’s a retelling of the first meeting between the Trinity – Superman, Batman and Diana. It’s a great little piece, with Rucka nailing in broad strokes the differences between these three heroes. Superman is sunny and hopeful, Batman is reticent and slow to trust while Diana is noble and pure of spirit. Rucka’s work...

Saying that this is a big week for Wonder Woman is certainly an understatement. Not only is there much buzz surrounding her first solo outing on the silver screen (you can read our review here), but her first annual yielded by the Rebirth era is also set to hit shelves.
Although said annual is slated to be an anthology of sorts, many readers are likely looking forward to the contribution made by Greg Rucka, who has served as writer on the flagship title for the past year, and artist Nicola Scott, who was paired with him for the Wonder Woman: Year One story arc.
In the latest episode of DC All Access, co-host Whitney Moore chats with Rucka about his 10-page tale that actually takes place within the same time frame as Year One, effectively showing how Diana first met Batman and Superman in current continuity. Sure, we’ve all...

With just over two weeks left until fans get the first live-action, big screen adaptation of Wonder Woman, a new, and very unusual poster has surfaced from the Chinese market.
The poster, which was shared by DC Comics artist, Nicola Scott, who has been drawing Wonder Woman for DC since 2016, is very much in the style of anime, and displays Diana Prince with her famous sword and shield, along with Steve Trevor and Wonder Woman’s mother, Hippolyta.
Wonder Woman is the first big hitter of the year for DC, and after the middle of the road reactions to last year’s Batman v Superman, they are in desperate need of a critically acclaimed hit.

While it is possible, and even likely that the films of the Dceu have received more flack than they deserve, they haven’t really wowed anyone either.

This review is based off a volume that collects Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1 and Wonder Woman #1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
Call me crazy, but no in continuity Wonder Woman story has really resonated with me since Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang concluded what I would call a definitive run. Believe it or not, I did think Meredith and David Finch’s material had some bright spots and, when it comes to Greg Rucka’s current take, I think it’s good but it doesn’t “wow” me.
Maybe that had to do in part with how this title was structured when it came to publishing. You see, all odd numbered issues – in this case, the ones that comprised The Lies – take place in the present, whereas even numbered ones are set in the past and make up the Year One arc. It was a clever way of balancing the respective workloads of artists Liam Sharp and Nicola Scott,...

It’s getting to be about that time of the month when publishers start rolling out solicits for books they’ll be shipping three months from now. As such, DC has given us all some juicy hints pertaining to what the future has in store for the likes of The Flash, Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman.
First, let’s talk about the Scarlet Speedster, who will be fresh off what’s sure to be a game changing crossover with Batman once issue #23 arrives in comic shops. And from what we can tell, he won’t be done with team-ups anytime soon because Green Lantern Hal Jordan is set to drop by for a little Brave and the Bold style action. Not only that, but Eobard Thawne threatens to cause more trouble as well.

Each year, comic book retailers celebrate their equivalent of Black Friday on the first Saturday in May. Dubbed “Free Comic Book Day,” it delivers on its namesake as every top publisher puts out a free floppyback or two with the intention of hooking new readers. Plus, the stores themselves often have some wicked deals for those who stick around to actually purchase something.
As it turns out, DC will shine the spotlight on some of its most prominent female superheroes this spring when two titles featuring the iconic Wonder Woman arrive just in time for her silver screen outing.
First, let’s talk about Wonder Woman Fcbd 2017 Special Edition, which will serve as somewhat of a sampler for Wonder Woman Vol. 2: Year One, a collected edition that will see release on May 3.

Wonder Woman #14 drops us right into the action. Diana’s in the middle of a battle with Ares, who’s interrogating her to try and discover the location of Themyscira. The storytelling is big, grandiose and fast-paced, but it doesn’t sacrifice the much needed character interactions between Diana, Steve and Dr. Minerva. There’s an appreciated sense of, well, wonder to everything going on in this issue. Unlike most versions of the character’s early days that we’ve seen, these people really take the time to deal with the fact that they’re seeing actual mythological gods for the first time.
Diana’s revelation that she no longer knows the location of Themyscira is an interesting one. She didn’t understand the importance of this and didn’t really care about it before. While leaving the island with Steve, going into the outside world and revealing herself, she...

Now that Christmas is done and gone, and no doubt our debt and weight gone up we begin to look toward the New Year. 2016 was a great year for comic books in general, with the rise of a lot of great independent books from publishers like Image and Aftershock. DC Comics in a sense apologized for the New 52 and DC You with their sensational “Rebirth” line that was launched by Geoff Johns. Marvel continued to do what they do best, put out number ones. With titles like “Champions”, “Death of X”, “Civil War II” and their recent event “Ivx” putting the X-Men vs. the Inhumans.

On Friday, October 21, 2016, something remarkable happened.
Princess Diana of Themiscrya was appointed an Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls everywhere around the globe by the United Nations in a ceremony led by Under-Secretary General for Communications and Public Information Christina Gallach. It was attended by the actors Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot. Remarkably, the Princess herself did not appear.
Why is this remarkable?
Princess Diana of Themiscrya is a fictional comic book character co-created 75 years ago by writers William Moulton Marston, his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston, and artist H.G. Peter. She first appeared to the public in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941) and then was given the cover to Sensation Comics #1 (January, 1942). The very first issue of her eponymous book showed up on the newsstands in the summer of that same year.

Greg Rucka and the Wonder Woman creative team are taking an interesting approach to her twice a month title. They will be telling two stories, the first called “The Lies”, which we were treated to two weeks ago featuring the artwork of Liam Sharp. The second is “Year One” featuring the artwork of Nicola Scott and that is the book we are going to cover here today.
The first issue of “Year One” is a true origin story for both Diana Prince and Steve Trevor. Throughout the book we are shown the point of view of both of them, Diana on the island of Themyscira and Steve serving in the army somewhere. As they go by living their lives day by day it’s very obvious that something is missing in each of them and they seem to struggle to figure out how to fill the void.

DC’s Rebirth is now in full swing. Last week I wrote a response to one aspect of DC Rebirth #1. Later that week, I picked up Batman, Superman, and Green Arrow Rebirth (sorry Green Lanterns Rebirth). I read them. They ranged from awkward to interesting with Green Arrow, to me, being the most solid of those three. There was something not sitting right with me as I read these issues though, and it wasn’t in regards to the story or the art in the comics but in the credits and advertising.
Every one of those comics, including Green Lanterns Rebirth which I haven’t picked up yet, features exclusively male creators. Every. Single. One. In the middle of the books themselves they all advertise four more upcoming comics for Rebirth: Action Comics, New Super-Man, Superwoman, and Supergirl. All of which are exclusively male creator teams. Finally, in the back...

Wonder Woman is the next big movie to land across the UK next week, and we hope it's as fun as early responses suggest. Patty Jenkins (Monster) has seemingly done good work on the film, at least as far as we can tell from its trailers; Gal Gadot is unstoppable, and is it really possible to hate anything Chris Pine is in?

DC Comics has announced that they will be canceling six titles from the ‘New 52′ lineup but will be adding six additional titles to keep the magic 52 number alive. The six titles that have landed on the chopping block include Men of War, Mister Terrific, O.M.A.C., Hawk and Dove, Blackhawks, and Static Shock, all of which have struggled terms of sales and quality when compared to the other titles in DC’s ‘New 52′.
Each of these series will wrap up their runs with the release of issue #8 and will then make room for the following six new titles to take their place.
Batman Incorporated – Writer: Grant Morrison. Artist: Chris Burnham. The acclaimed ongoing writer of Action Comics, Grant Morrison, presents a fresh take on Batman Incorporated, in which the Batman brand is franchised globally in preparation for a major international threat.

We hold in our hands the covers for DC Comics this March. As a child of four can plainly see, these comics have been hermetically sealed in a Cgc 9.8 slab, and they’ve been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under a giant pile of Christmas tinsel since noon today.
What do we have worth noting? The first fill-in artist on Justice League, although Gene Ha is certainly no slouch in that department. We also have new writers on Firestorm and Green Arrow, new backups in Justice League and Action Comics, and the DC 52 hits lucky number 7.
Shall we see who is the fariest of them all? Oh indeedy, let’s do!
As usual, spoilers may lurk beyond this point.

If you read the previous two months of Superman then you’re already aware of what happens in this book. It’s a shame to see Clark Kent depicted so well over in Action Comics at the start of the month and then be given these formulaic stories at the end. Once again, Superman battles a foe linked with the classical elements (First issue: fire, second issue: air – an invisible monster.) who is dispatched without providing any real answers.
Many people think Superman is a boring character because he’s too powerful to ever face a considerable threat, but Superman was never about the power itself, but what he uses the power he has for. Most of his battles devolve into fist fights,...

DC have announced via their blog The Source that Nicola Scott will be joining the creative team on Superman for issue #3, #5 and #6. Check out the press release below. Fan-favorite artist Nicola Scott will be joining the Superman creative team, providing art for issues 3, 5 and 6. Jesus Merino remains the series’ ongoing artist, illustrating issue 4 and returning for the issue 7 debut of new writers Dan Jurgens and Keith Giffen.

Most recently, she was announced as the penciller who (with writer James Robinson) would be bringing Justice Society Of America to DC Comics-The New 52, and nothing’s changed there; she is still going to be illustrating those Earth 2 adventures when the Jsa is ready to make their debut.

In October 2006-2010, five annual Wonder Woman Day events raised over $110,000 for Domestic Violence programs in Portland, Oregon and Flemington, NJ. The five-year combination of auctions of over 1,100 original art pieces, plus collectibles, autograph signings, and photo opportunities garnered spectacular turnouts and four Portland Mayoral Proclamations.
This year, the event will take on a new name and an expanded mission! On October 30, 2011, the new Women of Wonder Day — again as a part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month — will take place, returning to Excalibur Books in Portland, Oregon, and Comic Fusion in Flemington, New Jersey, as well as at Heroes and Fantasies in San Antonio, Texas.
This year’s contributions for auction include not only artwork featuring heroines from the world of comics — Wonder Woman, She-Hulk, Storm, Michonne from The Walking Dead, Leetah from ElfQuest — but also from the world of media as well, including Lisbeth Salander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer,...

Attending the panel were Dan Didio, Brian Azzarello, Tony Daniel, Jeff Lemire, Shane Davis, Francis Manapul, James Robinson, and Eddie Berganza. First the most notable information coming from the panel was the confirmation of the Justice Society of America in the new Dcu. This book will be written by James Robinson and drawn by artist Nicola Scott. Dan Didio had this to say about the characters... "We don't want them to just be cameos and then forgotten. We've waited on Jsa because we really wanted to get the details right. We were hammering out the characters as late as yesterday." Justice League which debuts this coming Tuesday at midnight (along with Flashpoint issue 5), will take place five years before most of the other new 52 titles. This one will cover the emergence of super-heroes to our world. We also learn that Cyborg will have a...

DC Comics co-publisher Dan Didio has teased the return of the Justice Society of America. The legacy series was notably absent from the solicitations for DC's company-wide relaunch next month, after the company claimed they were 'resting' the concept at present. However, during this weekend's Fan Expo Canada, Didio confirmed that a new Justice Society project is in the works. "Should we tease?" Didio asked during the 'New 52' panel, before confirming that former Justice League of America writer James Robinson and artist Nicola Scott are involved with the (more)...

I've included a few of the most interesting points, but be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site in order to read much, much more about the companies plans. While there's plenty of interesting tidbits here, the first paragraph should make fans of the Jsa very happy indeed... "Should we tease?" asked O.M.A.C. co-writer and DC co-publisher Didio. The rest agreed, and James Robinson confirmed that he is working on a new Justice Society project with artist Nicola Scott, and that the parallel world Earth-2 will make a return. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause. "We don't want them to just be cameos and then forgotten," Didio said. "We've waited on Jsa because we really wanted to get the details right. We...

Welcome back to ComicMix’s resident snark machine. So far, I’d taken a nice big steaming load all over Barry Allen, Hal Jordon, and the X-Men. Last week, for those counting, I shilled for my own book. Based on the lack of comments, I realized ya’ll don’t care bout that. I figured I needed your love back, so I should turn my attention back to being a mean so-and-so.
I wanted to folks, I really did. But wouldn’t you know it, I’m still all fuzzy inside from last week. Since it’s rare I’m not completely bitter about something, it’s high time I send up some praise for something I’m reading. Simply put, of all the books I’ve read in the past four to five years, none have been more consistently good as Secret Six. Now that’s it’s over,...

Per Bleeding Cool, the following rumor has surfaced about a mysterious DCnU title that Nicola Scott and James Robinson were working on: Dan Didio told retailers a month ago that Nicola Scott had an upcoming project at DC Comics. But word from late night San Diego bar gossip is that the project is with James Robinson (no longer writing the Hawkman relaunch) and it’s the much puzzled over Justice Society Of America. DC has made it clear that Superman and the Jla are the new Dcu’s first superheroes, leaving no room for a World War II team transposed to the present day. It appeared they had been written out of continuity. But there are plans, it seems, not to abandon it entirely. And they’re coming back. I don’t know how, I don’t know who, I don’t know when. All I’ve been told is Scott and Robinson on Jsa…...

If, like me, you grew up in the 90s and were weaned on Public Television, then you’ve seen shows just like Upstairs, Downstairs, if not the show itself. At the very least you know the type: low budget British dramas from the seventies, with one set, a large ensemble cast, simple camera work but a high minded conceit, clichéd characters going through powerful storylines. If you’re like me, you find this kind of television show very comforting, like an old blanket. If not, you’ll probably find it in turns charmingly naïve, embarrassingly old-fashioned and powerfully insightful.
Upstairs, Downstairs follows the lives of the wealthy Bellamy family, owners and residents of 165 Eaton Place, and their live-in servants and cooks (who, as in the British townhouse style, work in the servants quarters downstairs, hence the title). The series entire takes the family and its employees from 1903 to 1936, but season...

In chronological order: Head (1968) star the Monkees, the manufactured (by Rafelson, et al), American answer to the Beatles who, like it or not, did make an impact on popular culture, particularly in this utterly surreal piece of cinematic anarchy (co-written by Jack Nicholson, who has a cameo), which was largely dismissed upon its initial release, but is now regarded as a counterculture classic.

As black rings zoomed towards the Flash and Green Lantern, their friends and allies who had suddenly switched sides surrounded them. Superman. Wonder Woman. Green Arrow. And so on. With the universe slipping precariously into a never-ending pool of black, a new group of Lanterns have risen to the cause, and you won’t believe your eyes when you see who they are.
