The Question

Good ‘ol Vic Sage, whose death in 52 was one of the most poignant things I’ve ever read in a comic. Hopefully, it won’t look like he’s confused what with all those question marks behind him and whatnot. I would’ve had a longer description of the piece along with a progress animation GIF and all [...]

First “Green Lantern” trailer

First

I was tempted to make a trip to see the new Harry Potter movie (a series a have little interest in) just to catch the above trailer. That’s how much I’m looking forward to this movie and said trailer, released yesterday, is just adding to that excitement. The short glimpses we get of Sinestro, Tomar-Re and [...]

“Green Lantern” concept art looking fantastic.

Warner Bros. released some concept art of Oa from the “Green Lantern” movie and it’s looking pretty awesome. I got all ticklish when I saw the Green Lantern logo in those pillars (tombstones?) above. We’ve seen bits and pieces of the movie so far and I’ve been going back and forth on a lot of [...]

Phantom Lady

Phantom Lady

There were a number of  things I set out to accomplish with this piece: a) I wanted a piece of the more female persuasion, b) I wanted a piece that wasn’t video game related, c) I wanted to practice digital inking and d) I wanted to finish a piece in one day. Check, check, check and check. Mission accomplished! Progress animation [...]

On Wonder Woman’s new costume

On Wonder Woman's new costume

Let’s talk about comic book costumes again. DC has set the internet ablaze once again, this time by drastically altering the look of one of its most iconic characters: Wonder Woman. There’s always going to be opposition against change in comics, even more so with a long standing character such as Diana, so I feel [...]

The Flash

The Flash

It’s not often that I finish a drawing in sketchbook and think: “you know, I really want to color this,” yet here we are. And what better candidate for such an oddity to happen than my favorite character in comics today, Mr. Wally West himself. Or maybe it’s Barry. Or Bart. Ah, legacy characters. Gotta [...]

“Blackest Night” Report #2

Blackest Night wrapped up this week with issue #8 and there are many things to talk about for sure. In my first BN Report, which I did around the time Blackest Night #4 came out, I broke down the three series I was following (Blackest Night, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps) individually but, since [...]

A “The Flash: Rebirth” review.

A

I can’t talk about The Flash: Rebirth without first talking about my tremendous expectations for the title. Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver turned me into a huge Hal Jordan fan (a character I previously had zero interest in) with Green Lantern: Rebirth and that book and its pure comic booky-ness stands as one of [...]

A “Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths” review.

A

DC’s line of direct-to-DVD animated features have been of varying quality so far. I think the biggest issue these movies have is the 70 minute time limit which leaves little room for character exploration and makes a lot of these seem like quick “get in, get out” ordeals. I think Wonder Woman succeeded because it [...]

On Justice League: The New Frontier…

On Justice League: The New Frontier...

As I prepare to write my “Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths” review, I thought it’d be fitting to go back and look at one of the earlier works in DC’s direct-to-DVD line of movies. This isn’t an actual review of Justice League: The New Frontier as it’s a little difficult to dissociate myself from [...]
