Brian Schirmer on Comics, Economics and Bringing Black Jack Ketchum to Life at Image

October 15, 2015

By David Harper

In today’s era of seemingly infinite comics, with new number ones arriving on a perpetual basis, it’s hard to stand out.

September 22, 2015

By David Harper

It’s been a hell of a time if you’re a DC Comics fan, especially for those fond of their DC YOU initiative. Last week, the publisher canceled 8 books, and while one – Omega Men – was uncanceled, it’s still been a pretty topsy turvy time for the publisher. What we do know is many … Continued

September 17, 2015

By David Harper

One of the types of comics that are underrepresented – at least in the mainstream part of comics – are ones for younger readers.

By David Harper

A little over a month ago, retailers from around the United States shared their thoughts on the All New, All Different line announcement at Marvel, and for the most part things were looking good.
