SDCC 2013: Warner Brothers to Announce Superman/Batman, Flash and Justice League Movies at Comic-Con

Warner Brothers’ massive Comic-Con announcement is starting to leak, and I for one, can’t be more excited. Multiple sources related to the Man of Steel sequel are reporting that it will actually be a Superman/Batman flick. Along with the leak is news that Warner Brothers is about to announce a Flash movie for release in 2016 and a Justice League movie […]

SDCC 2013: Bendis and Bagley return to the Ultimate Universe

You would think that after a massive flood and a civil war that broke the United States in half, the Ultimate Marvel universe would get a break.  That’s not the case.  What more could the creators throw at these characters?  How about Galactus (and we ain’t talking about the weird Ultimate “Cloud” version we saw […]

‘Man of Steel’ Review From a Superman and Comic Book Fan

I have been waiting for DC Comics and Warner Brother’s kick off to their own cinematic universe and that day is finally here.  Finally, Superman is back in Man of Steel from director Zack Snyder.  The film takes a completely different approach to the superhero film.  The movie focuses more on the “man” rather than the “super”.  It’s […]

Comic Review: The Adventures of Superman #1 with Stories by Jeff Parker, Chris Samnee, Jeff Lemire, Justin Jordan, Riley Rossmo

With this being the week of Superman, it seemed only natural that I give a little review of the newest DC Digital series Adventure of Superman.  The newest series in DC’s digital first series (Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman Beyond, and Smallville: Season 11 are a few of the others).  That means there are three […]

The Long Box: Who is YOUR Superman artist?

With Man of Steel set for release in the next two weeks, I was thinking back to all of the different variations or concepts that Superman has gone through over the years.  From the original “circus performer” costume to the electric blue version to the current New 52 suit. Over the years, the artists that have taken […]

Fourth ‘Man of Steel’ Trailer focuses on General Zod (Video)

The fourth trailer for DC and Warner Brothers, Man of Steel, not only gives us a better look at the scope of the movie. It also gives us an better look at General Zod (played by Michael Shannon) and his army.  This is definitely the “action” trailer compared to the “drama” trailer we saw a month […]

C2E2 – A Weekend Review of Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo 2013

I am sitting on a train heading home from Chicago, and I thought I would take the opportunity to give you my thoughts and news coming out of C2E2 2013.  What a great convention. Where most cons nowadays have changed their focus to include both comics and other comic related things (movies, games, and other “geek” […]
