Some of you may have heard of the Mockingbird controversy and harassment of Chelsea Cain. Less of you probably heard about Tokyo Comic Con banning men from cosplaying as female characters. While the two events are unrelated, they both involve intolerance in the comics industry… and they both have a happy ending. Well, happier than it could have been, I guess.
Back in March, the character of Mockingbird was given her first solo series at Marvel Comics. The character of Bobbi Morse, Mockingbird’s alter ego, debuted at Marvel back in 1971 with her becoming Mockingbird in 1980. Though she was created by Len Wein and Neal Adams, her first published story was written by Gerry Conway and drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith. Mockingbird has appeared on and off in Marvel Comics as part of S.H.I.E.L.D. and different Avengers teams ever since with varying success. Once Mockingbird appeared on network TV’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on October 21st,...

While we wait of the conclusion of “The Dark Knight III” by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello let us indulge in Brian’s new title under Image Comics “Moonshine”. I was drawn to this book immediately because first of all moonshine is great but most importantly it takes place in the late twenties during the prohibition here in the United States. Whether historically accurate or not I am always a sucker for stories that take place in our countries controversial past. This book takes place on the East Coast where as we know the sale of illegal hooch was really big and the government was doing all it can to stop it and that is where our story begins.
A group of agents close in on an illegal distillery in the hills of West Virginia. Unfortunately for them, the group of men running the place were ready for them and...

When it comes to Image and Aftershock titles (for me at least), I tend to pick up the titles written by familiar writers that I have enjoyed in the past. Brian Buccellato is one of those writers for me. With as many zombie movies, shows and stories out in the world Jennifer and Brian gives us a new twist on the genre, because all though they crave flesh and blood, they are still “normal” people. The book takes place in the southeast region of the U.S. where in 1994 a category five hurricane devastated the area. It also awoke ancient disease-carrying mosquitos that had been hibernating underground, unleashing a very old strain of yellow fever. The Global Medicine Management (Gmm) rushed out a medicine called “Y-pak” to fight the disease. Like most untested vaccines it had a terrible side effect. It caused whoever took it to crave human flesh. The...

Issue 8 of Superman beings the “Escape From Dinosaur Island” arc. This book continues to closely follow Clark and Jonathan’s father son relationship. As a matter of fact the whole accidental trip to Dinosaur Island starts because of a hiccup in John’s school science project that transports him, Clark and Krypto to this mysterious island. Upon arriving it seems that the military had once had a presence there but had been decimated. As they are trying to locate John’s science project to try and get back home we see our group of heroes attacked by various prehistoric animals like something that seemed like a giant piranha to pterodactyl like dinosaurs. As they discover more human remains they find a cave where written on the wall is “This Is The Story Of The Losers”.
This title so far has been very distinct from what we saw from Superman in...

Back at StocktonCon my buddy Dylan who is a marketing wizard for Top Cow and Chris Northrop, the colorist for Eclipse and all around cool guy shared their excitement for the upcoming title “Eclipse”. When the first issue was released the idea of a kind of post-apocalyptic world where humanities biggest threat was the sun got a very positive reaction from readers. So well in fact that Zack Kaplan and Top Cow announced last week that this title has been upgraded to an on-going title. Congratulations to the creative team on what so far has been a great book. With that let’s review issue #2 a bit.
The last image we saw in the previous issue was that of a man that was resistant to the sun. Now David and a team are sent out back into the treacherous daylight to hunt down this mysterious man. During which time we...

The Luke Cage show on Netflix was my first real exposure to Luke Cage (not counting his appearance on Jessica Jones), so all I know about the character is what I saw on the show. I picked up this book not only because of the Luke Cage hype but also the resume of the writer/artist Genndy Tartakovsky who has worked on some of my favorite childhood shows like Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory. Overall this book is a lot of fun. My favorite panels of this book are right at the beginning and it’s the spread of the Bank Rollers making their getaway from another heist as they try to “stick it to the man”. The artwork style is so fitting for this book especially when you throw in the fact that this takes place in the late 70’s. As far as the Luke Cage’s character,...

It’s time for me to review this brand new book for the second time.
Before we get into that paradox, the bottom line is that Thomas Yeates’ recently published Tarzan The Beckoning is a gorgeous book. But there’s a little bit more to this column than that simple appraisal.
Back in the early 90s, a new publisher called Malibu Comics was creating innovative and fun comics. Malibu had just published Tarzan The Warrior by Mark Wheatley and Neil Vokes. As you probably know, Tarzan, perhaps more than any other character, has been rendered by some of the industry’s all time greatest artists – Hal Foster, Burne Hogarth, Russ Manning, Neal Adams, Joe Kubert, John Buscema, Joe Jusko…the list goes on and on.
So when Malibu was promoting this new Tarzan The Warrior comic mini-series in the 90s, they signaled that they were going to try something very different.

Back when I was a waddling comic book fan, I loved all those little spy cameras that Doctor Doom had floating around the planet. I figured that was the source of his obvious wealth – he sold them to other evil-doers such as, say, Haliburton. It titillated my sense of wonder, which always is a wonderful experience.
Technology has progressed exponentially in the ensuing half-century, and today we have so many spy cameras that last week’s unsuccessful bombings in Manhattan were so well-monitored the authorities were able to see the bomber, identify him with speed and efficiency that would have been impressed Felicity Smoak, and bust his ass within hours. Not only that, but other “security” cameras found the other bomb he placed four blocks uptown – below Neal Adams’ studio, no less – and they saw the thieves who stole the luggage the bomb was placed in, leaving the bomb in...

This past weekend, Mike and I had the opportunity to attend the Wizard-World Comic-Con in Richmond Virginia. The event was held in The Greater Richmond Convention Center from Friday, September 9th-Sunday, September 11th. Below you can read all the great takeaways from the event.
Atmosphere:
Wizard-World had a family-friendly feel to it. Not that other Cons do not cater to families, but the layout of the booths, activities, and Cosplayers all seemed to reflect that feel. There were a good number of families there, many who came in Cosplay together, which was awesome to see the love of the genre passed down from generation to generation.
Continuing with the family-friendly tone, everything associated with the convention was on one floor, much like Hero's-Con, but in a smaller area. The set-up of the booths were sectioned into categories for the most part (comics, merchandise, clothing, gaming, celebrities, etc.), which were easy to navigate.

So there’s some kind of election going on? Well, not in comicbookland there isn’t and maybe that’s just as well.
Last week, we blathered about the lack of ethnic diversity in mass entertainment, particularly regarding names, and suggested that the purveyors of such entertainment didn’t want to alienate potential customers by giving their heroes traits that some might find offensive. And it doesn’t stop with names.
You may have noticed, the more astute among you, that we as a nation are embroiled in what is surely the daffiest presidential contest in our history, and by “daffiest” I don’t necessarily mean most entertaining. On the contrary: I’m disgusted with it. But we’re stuck with it until November and then, if the results are not to my liking, I may consider some serious depression.
Politics generally plays no part in the procedurals that glut television,...

I had a close friend and brother-in-arms named Larry Schlam, an attorney who specialized in juvenile rights. He later became a law professor and a lecturer on that same issue. He had been a doo-wop singer in Brooklyn, but that has no relevance to this topic. As it comes to us all, Larry died last year.
Back in 1971 or 1972, I was with Larry at his office in downtown Chicago. We were working late – to the extent that we were actually working – and I left around 10 Pm. As I walked towards the elevators, I saw one about to close and, like many late-evening neurotics, I was convinced that was the last elevator for the night. I shouted “Please hold the elevator!” and a giant mitt popped out to hold the door open. I trotted into the booth, turned to thank my benefactor, and found myself face-to-face with Muhammad Ali.

Maybe it’s the fact my son Bennett has finally mastered the art of pooping, or that my second son is due in less than three weeks, but I’m getting soft, my friends. To be clear, I still get migraines whenever I pull my attention towards the pending nominations of candidates from both parties. To be clear, I still shake my fist aggressively when Chicago drivers cut me off. To be clear, I still snark at things and get bent out of shape over tons of crazy Internet news. With that being said, a few of my friends on my social media feeds are seemingly raging hardcore over a litany of geek-related issues that just plain baffle me. Actually, strike that. It doesn’t baffle me so much as enrage me. I get the irony of it all, mind you. But I just can’t keep my snark in...

I’ve seen the film several times and absolutely love it. It’s a candid and endearing portrait of Dennis Hopper’s maniacal creative process. Lawrence Schiller, the film’s [co-] director and acclaimed photojournalist, sent a collection of photographs he’d taken during production back in 1971.

I’ve been reading Gerry Conway’s new Amazing Spider-Man mini-series (or whatever; contemporary comic book numbering would even baffle the ancient Romans who had no concept of “zero.”) and I’m enjoying it… but not in the way I expected. I expected Classic Conway, which is fine. What we got was a solid Spidey story written in a very contemporary style.
But that’s not this old dog’s only new trick.
Gerry’s been very busy standing up for creators’ rights; obviously, including his own. His efforts have earned praise from Neal Adams, the medium’s worthy and long-time leader in the ongoing battle for creators’ rights. Most recently, he’s been commenting on DC’s latest talent-relations habit where they would bonus comics talent for extra-media use of characters they created.

Way back before your daddy was born – yes, it’s you I’m talking to – I wrote some superhero comic books that were based on real-life events and I guess they were successful. They got artist Neal Adams and me noticed and they’ve been reprinted and reissued in various formats and I still find myself autographing them at conventions. So yeah – successful. But I have two regrets about them.
The first is that the most of the problems they dramatized are still with us some 45 years later – the world has changed enormously but we still have racism and poverty and addiction and judicial malfeasance and especially climate disruption. I was worried about this stuff back in the day and I’m more worried now.
My other regret concerns my frame of mind when I was writing the stories. To me, it was obvious that what I was portraying was...
