The latest trailer for "Deadpool & Wolverine" suggests the movie might be even more of a cameo-fest than we'd previously predicted.
Hugh Jackman is back as Logan, of course, and he's bringing leftover characters from the erstwhile 20th Century Fox's Marvel Universe. We already knew Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Pyro (Aaron Stanford), and Toad would be back. So will Wolverine's archenemy Sabretooth, perhaps finally giving Logan a chance at closure.
Around the 1:50 minute mark of the new trailer, you were probably focused on the decapitated head of a Giant Man variant (his rotting skull concealed within his ant-styled helmet). I'm much more curious about the characters standing beneath this makeshift base, who look to be familiar (mutant) faces from previous "X-Men" films: Yuriko Oyama/Lady Deathstrike from "X2" and Azazel from "X-Men: First Class."
Both are seen at too far a distance to determine if their previous actors...

"Daredevil" issue #1 was published in 1964, credited to Stan Lee and Bill Everett. However, for many, "Daredevil" didn't truly begin until Frank Miller took over the book in 1980. His run is where the Kingpin became Daredevil's nemesis and where Elektra was introduced. These are such foundational characters to subsequent "Daredevil" comics/adaptations that the first two decades without them feel like an anomaly.
Influenced by noir movies, Miller brought the grit to Hell's Kitchen. His narration captions were straight out of a detective dime novel. His art broke from the Bronze Age Marvel Comics house style with darker shading (inked mostly by Klaus Janson), hatch marks, and blood-splattered violence, further adding to the dark atmosphere of the writing.
Miller's run also began the edict "Matt Murdock must suffer." His love story with Elektra is a tragedy, and in Miller's ending arc "Born Again," Matt loses everything. Not coincidentally, Miller was the...

Welcome to the latest instalment of a brand-new feature here on Nerdly, where one of our comic gurus, Ian Wells, delves into comics history and dissects Comics Interview, the long-running journal of interviews and criticism from David Anthony Kraft.
Up Front & Credits
Joining the ranks this issue we have Klaus Janson, Lou Mougin, Bob Saland, Charlie Santino and Barry Kleggerman. A very short Up Front from Dak this month as he uses the space to outline one of two new features debuting in Comics Interview this issue. The first is ‘Out of Context’ which is to ask several interview subjects the same question to get a varied response. The question for the first instalment is “People are very concerned about the recent spate of deaths of superheroes – Why do you suppose that is?” This time round the responses come from Steve Oliff, Steve Gerber and Terry Austin.

Up Front With Dak
From this point forward I will be referring to David Anthony Kraft as Dak. He kicks things up this month by saying how well-received the first issue was. So well received in fact that starting with this very issue Comics Interview will be going monthly! The new monthly schedule will result in some fine-tuning issue by issue for what articles appear. One idea he has already is to have colourists and letters rotate month to month. In this issue the Mark Evanier interview doubles up as writer and editor feature, also an inker interview is absent.

There’s something charmingly accessible about Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. Talking to them, you never get the feeling that you’re talking to a multimedia titan of geek culture or one of the most beloved Batman artists of all time, respectively. It feels more like running into two guys tailgating outside an Ozzy Osborne show, inviting you to geek out with them about their comic art collection, shooting the breeze about the car they’re working on together, and periodically dropping preternatural draftsmanship wisdom sprinkled with comic art history. And then McFarlane will say something like, “I’m in the business of cool. Period,” and you suddenly remember that you’re talking to two of the biggest names to ever create comics and that they’re teaming up for a fresh Batman Spawn crossover that is likely to be one of the biggest books of the decade.

Coming soon from DC with images unleashed today, two of the biggest characters in comic book history will face off in mashup Batman Spawn from Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. After staying out of each other’s way for almost 20 years, the Court of Owls steps in to try to use Spawn to beat Batman in the not to be missed comic available on December 13.
“Look, this is really simple. I get to play with one of the greatest comic characters ever (Batman), get to reunite with amazing artist Greg Capullo, And am able to mix in my own creation (Spawn) into the storyline. These are the types of projects many of us creators in the comic industry only get to be a part of a few times in our careers,” said Writer Todd McFarlane.

This comic obviously doesn’t really exist. There is no Amazing Fantasy #1000, it exists only in the heads of the Marvel marketing department. Spider-Man’s 60th anniversary, however, does exist, and he’s one of a handful of characters that forced his way into mainstream pop culture many years before Marvel became the pop culture juggernaut it now is. Peter Parker is, of course, all of us when we were teenage kids. Socially awkward, tough home life, constantly short of money…take your pick, there’s something in there that everyone could relate to. The fact he gained his powers also made every kid reading think, hey, if it happened to him, it could happen to me.
Peter Parker has also had a massive influence on a lot of professionals now working in the industry, as this anniversary issue shows.

While the last few weeks have seen several DC shows canceled at The CW — including Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Naomi — at least one new superhero series will hit the network next year: Gotham Knights. The new show follows the next generation of heroes to rise up in Gotham City after the death of Batman. Chief among these new vigilantes is Bruce Wayne’s adopted son, Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan), who must take up his father’s mantle in order to keep his city safe from whoever is trying to frame him and a whole cavalcade of characters from the comics for Batman’s murder.
If the chance to see several characters from the Bat mythos in live-action for the first time isn’t exciting enough to get you excited, The CW has just dropped the show’s very first trailer, which promises lots of crime-fighting, a bit of Riverdale-style teen angst,...

It’s almost impossible to remember a time when Batman wasn’t cool. When I was little, Batman was primarily known as the straight-laced crimefighter in endless reruns of the 1960s Batman TV series starring Adam West, Burt Ward and a seemingly endless, brightly colored array of “special guest villains.” Kids loved Batman, and not grasping the fact that the show itself was a subversive comedy, we often felt we outgrew him after a certain point. Batman certainly wasn’t the inescapable pop culture juggernaut and guaranteed box office draw that we know today. But then along came comics like Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley’s The Dark Knight Returns, which paved the way for the seismic impact of 1989’s Batman movie directed by Tim Burton and starring Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton.

Sin City is turning 30, and the black-and-white crime comic from Frank Miller is getting a new edition to celebrate.
The softcover editions include new wrap-around cover art and pinup gallery art from Joyce Chin, Amanda Conner, Klaus Janson, Paul Pope, Philip Tan and Gerardo Zaffino.
Sin City is considered one of Miller’s masterworks, alongside properties such as The Dark Knight Returns and 300. Miller gives credit to Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson for jumping at his idea.

At the end of last week we received the news that another highly influential artist pulled up a seat at the great drawing desk in the sky. On the 2nd December Richard Corben passed away at the age of 80. Another talent gone too soon. I had to take a bit of time to put this one together as the bulk of his career is out of my wheelhouse. Upon doing my research I found a large quantity of work for the big two, so I thought by talking about this portion of his career with be a gateway for the readers to discover his larger body of work. Being a big fan of the Cartoonist Kayfabe Youtube channel, not a week geos by when Ed Piskor and Jim Rugg don’t talk about Corben’s art. I don’t think I would be able to write this one without their education.

I know every comic book publisher loves a ‘special’ issue, an ‘anniversary’ issue, or a ‘reached a big number’ issue, but at first glance a 144 page monster book for issue 1027 of Detective Comics seems a bit of a stretch. Longevity, sure, but we just had a whole raft of anniversary specials did we not? Then you realise. Detective Comics #27, back in 1939, was not only the very first appearance of Batman, but became the title that led to National Periodicals eventually becoming DC Comics.

Brian Michael Bendis, the legendary comics writer and one of the sharpest eyes for talent in the entire comics industry, is wrapping up his long run on the Superman comics in December.
Bendis made the jump to DC in 2018, after a 17 year run at Marvel, and immediately landed on DC’s biggest character. Man of Steel launched his run which, when combined with his follow ups on Action Comics and Superman, will have stretched to almost 75 issues after December’s Action Comics #1028 and Superman #28 hit. And that doesn’t include the books that are all tying together when he wraps.
According to the solicitation text, these two issues will pull in pieces of everything Bendis has had a hand in creating since joining DC. That includes Greg Rucka and Mike Perkins’ Lois Lane; Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber’s superlative Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen; the monster, Scott Snyder-helmed...

Klaus Janson is a legend in comics. He’s so big that he’s best known for seven different things - he’s the guy who co-created Micro in The Punisher; or the one who drew “Gothic,” one of Grant Morrison’s first and moodiest Batman stories; or the comics storytelling professor at Sva; or the guy who finished Frank Miller’s pencils on Daredevil and The Dark Knight Returns. But on everything he does, his art is immediately distinct: it’s moody and heavy in a way very few new comic artists can successfully accomplish.

Back in shape and ready to fight, Batman returns to Gotham with Catwoman on a mission to take back the city from Bane.
Almost all of the best Batman stories are about his relationship with the crimefighting family he's assembled over decades. Think about it: so many of the great Silver and Bronze Age stories are about love interests. “Tower of Babel” is about how he and the League manage their relationships. The Dark Knight Returns is as much about reassembling a family as it is about Bruce being An Old. Morrison’s whole run was explicitly about the power of friendship in the Batman mythos.

The Titans season finale explores what happens when Dick Grayson returns to Gotham City to confront a Batman who crossed the line.
This Titans review contains spoilers.
Titans Episode 11
As good as Titans has been during its first season, and I do believe that the balance of these episodes have been very good, with moments that approach greatness, it really hasn’t done itself any favors. Unfortunately, the Titans finale is a particularly egregious example of the show playing into the outside perceptions of the show.
From the first trailer, Titans has been a little...confusing. That early footage made it seem like the series was going to lean into the worst instincts of the early Dceu, or that the show was trying far too hard to distinguish itself as a piece of “adult” television, along the lines of the Marvel Netflix shows.

Despite every bonkers thing that Frank Miller has said over the last decade or so, despite the iffy sequels and despite realizing that it’s essentially a fascist power fantasy, The Dark Knight Returns is still a damn good comic (and was decently adapted by DC Animation a few years ago). The 1986 miniseries by Miller and Klaus Janson almost immediately redefined what Batman was, and its influences can still be seen all over contemporary portrayals of the hero, most notably in Ben Affleck’s aged and paranoid take in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The comic itself has spawned two sequels, with The Dark Knight Strikes Again being slightly unfairly maligned and 2017’s The Dark Knight III: The Master Race considered a bizarre but enjoyable read. But all that might not’ve happened if Miller had gone with his original instincts when it came to the ending. Those familiar...

Black clothes. White skull. Smoking guns. These are the gloriously simple ingredients behind the Punisher, the no-holds-barred antihero who'll soon be starring in one of the fall's most anticipated series. As played by The Walking Dead's Jon Bernthal during the second season of Netflix's Daredevil, the gun-toting vigilante stole every scene he was in, making the network's relentless campaign of teases and trailers damn near irresistible. But like every major superhero, he's taken a long strange trip from his comic-book origins to his modern-day multimedia superstardom. Below, you'll find...

If you’re reading this, there’s a very strong chance that you have some level of familiarity with Frank Miller’s immortal classic, The Dark Knight Returns (Dkr). Since its original publication in the mid-1980’s, it’s managed to change the way mainstream outlets view the comic book industry, been adapted to an animated feature, and has influenced countless other Batman comics – along with several of the live action films.
So, when the acclaimed author rolled out the sequel that was The Dark Knight Strikes Again! (DK2) back in 2001, expectations were understandably high. Unfortunately, it didn’t reach the bar that its predecessor did, but we’re happy to say that the threequel – Dark Knight III: The Master Race – has lived up to the legacy of the original, with the collected edition undergoing a slight re-titling of Batman: The Dark Knight: Master Race.

Although Dark Knight III: The Master Race hit a bit of a speed bump with its penultimate issue, I certainly hope that most readers will agree with me in saying that the limited series been great for the most part and has redeemed the legacy started with Frank Miller’s immortal classic, The Dark Knight Returns, after the ill-received followup, The Dark Knight Strikes Again!, left a bad taste in the mouths of many.
As it turns out, a slight title change has been made in advance of the collected edition’s release. You see, gone will be the Roman numeral “III,” as Batman: The Dark Knight: The Master Race will, in fact, be the name of the hardcover adorning shelves in major bookstores across the land this September.

The man who brought us Dark Knight Returns has some smart thoughts on what Batman movies should be like.
Frank Miller's status as a legendary comic creator was locked in stone 30 years ago, with character-defining work on Daredevil and his industry changing The Dark Knight Returns (with Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley). So much so that the mixed reactions to his more recent work on Batman, such as the possibly unnecessary sequels to The Dark Knight Returns or the unintentionally hilarious All-Star Batman and Robin (not to mention the tone deaf Holy Terror, which was bizarrely intended to be a post-9/11 Batman story before thankfully becoming something else) will never be able to tarnish that.
But make no mistake, Miller still knows his Batman, and he recently revealed where he thinks the Batman franchise should go in order to evolve and set itself apart from the pack.

With the Joker back on the big screen in Suicide Squad, we celebrate the craziest plans of the Clown Prince of Crime...
He's the greatest villain of them all. He's the evil that tests Batman and makes the hero better. He's an uncontrollable force of chaos, more akin to a hurricane than a criminal, who strikes without warning. He believes that life is a chaotic farce and everything exists as part of a twisted game between him and Batman. He is the star of comics, television, cartoons, and film. He's the Joker, one of the most enduring symbols of evil in the last century.
The Joker is no match for Batman physically, so when he puts one over on the Dark Knight, when he 'gets' him, it has to be a masterpiece of chaos and violence. These are just some of the greatest moments where the Joker...

Yet another title to be plagued by delays. So by the time I got around to picking it up this past week, I had really lost all momentum toward the story. With Quar and the rest of the Master Race hovering above Gotham waiting for Batman to be delivered to him, the remaining heroes put Batman’s plan into action. With Barry Allen having his legs badly broken in battle Batman has put him into an “Oracle” role manipulating the weather. Meanwhile Carrie and Aquaman have traveled deep into the ocean to retrieve Superman’s frozen body. When they bring him back up Carrie uses a special needle to allow Superman to break free. Back in Gotham time has run out for the city to give up the Dark Knight, but as the Quar and his followers attack the Bat Signal is dramatically shined above and a synthetic kryptonite rain...

I am not sure what to make of this title anymore. We had a one month delay for the fourth issue and the next issue won’t be out until the end of June! What about the final issue? Well that one has been cancelled all together to be resolicit at a later date. So why should I support a title so unorganized? With it only being six issues long, they should have Finished it altogether and then released it. Would have made more sense right? By the time the next issue comes out I am going to be deep into Rebirth and my interest in this is going to be at an all-time low. Well for now let’s talk about the issue we actually have in front of us.

Review:
This is it, the end of Scott Snyder and Greg Cappulo’s run on Batman. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the series since its early days at the birth of “New 52”. I remember being amazed Capullo was going to be illustrating Batman, and how excited I was to see it. Scott Snyder writing? That sounded awesome too. Then we got Court of Owls and it was pretty epic. From there it was the hit or miss Death of the Family storyline.

And my friend, comic writer Paul Kupperberg, is exactly that kind of person.
As a kid back in 1976, Paul was buying comics at My Friend’s Bookstore in Flatbush, Brooklyn. “My ideal book store,” Kupperberg explained. “Carts out front, loaded with cheap books. The counter on the right had all the Golden Age issues. Superman #1 was $100. They used the Howard Rogofsky price list. Behind the counter there were boxes on the shelves. A magical place – we’d go on weekends. We would even work there.”

Frank Miller is not a man who's hung up on his own achievements. Talking to The Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming release of Dark Knight III: The Master Race (which he co-writes with 100 Bullets and Wonder Woman's Brian Azzarello), Miller is in fine form, laughing and joking with inker Klaus Janson — who works with Andy Kubert on art for the main series, in addition to working with Miller on a 16-page mini-comic insert for the first issue — but refusing to be seen as the iconic creator the industry sees him as.

Dive deep into the mouth of madness with these three great Batman Halloween specials from the '90s!
In 1993, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale, now famous for Batman: The Long Halloween, performed a mad experiment to remind us that the Dark Knight's worst fears were gravely domestic and close to home. And how else to achieve this, but in Batman's own tales of horror and madness.
The creative team produced three Batman Halloween specials from 1993-95 for the Legends of the Dark Knight anthology series. The original Legends ran from 1989-2007 and featured a rotating team of artists and writers, including Grant Morrison, Klaus Janson, Mark Millar, Dennis O'Neil, Mike W. Barr, Warren Ellis, Mike Mignola, and many, many more all-star creators. The stories in Legends were meant to be self-contained arcs, set in the early days of the Dark Knight, before Robin but after Batman: Year One,...

Ted Brandt and Rosy Higgins are an artistic team from Bristol, England. They are currently working on Princeless: Raven Pirate Princess with writer Jeremy Whitley. (Secret Wars: Secret Love.) It is an all ages comic from Action Lab and a sequel to the Princeless: Pirate Princess and is about Raven Xingtao, an Asian lesbian teen pirate, who must wrest back the title of Black Arrow (Think Pirate King in Pirates of Caribbean.) But, first she must assemble a crew for her ship, and that is what she has been doing over the past three issues with the help of shifty Half-Elf thief Sunshine and Katie, who is a dead ringer for Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones and inspires her to assemble an all female crew. Higgins pencils and colors the comic while Brandt handles the layouts, inks, and letters on Raven Pirate Princess.

At a panel at New York Comic Con over the weekend, Frank Miller snuck in a little announcement that took us by surprise - he is working on a new Sin City comic.
With the recent revelation that he was returning to Batman for The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, we probably should have seen it coming.
"I'm in the studio drawing every day now," Miller said (via ComicBook.com), talking about getting back to comics work.
"Oh yeah," he added. "My next book is set, I'm working on it now, in fact. It's a Sin City, a love story set against the backdrop of World War II."
Miller ostensibly brought his work on the Dark Horse Comics noir series to an end in 2000 with Hell and Back.
Written and illustrated by Miller, Sin City spawned the popular 2005 film - which he directed with Robert Rodriguez - and the...

The first panel at New York Comic Con’s main stage on Friday, October 9 marked the triumphant return of an old favorite as DC Comics editors and creators gathered to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Dark Knight Returns. They also previewed the upcoming The Dark Knight 3: The Master Race.

All of these creators were present at the panel with Miller making a surprise entrance in his trademark fedora to thunderous applause. They were joined by DC editor and moderator Brian Cunningham and publisher Jim Lee, who worked with Miller on the controversial All-Star Batman and Robin.
