A huge, Flash-centric crossover by Geoff Johns?

A huge, Flash-centric crossover by Geoff Johns?

Sign me up! DC has released a couple of teasers for Flashpoint, their big crossover for 2011 , but, to be honest, there’s not much to go by yet. The above image is one such teaser and, much like the other five, it pertains to a specific member of the big seven in the Justice [...]

Canabalt

I got this game for my iPhone when it went on sale for a buck not too long ago and I just loved the aesthetic of it. I had played it before but I didn’t pay much mind to it and, because so much horizontal space is lost in the iPhone port compared to the [...]

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 [...]

Entertainment Highs and Lows of 2009

Entertainment Highs and Lows of 2009

I think its appropriate to start the new year with a quick look back at the things I liked and disliked in 2009. I had trouble remembering last year’s disappointments and I could go on and on about the highlights which can only mean one thing: I’ve become quite the discerning fellow and that’s a [...]

On Wally West’s “new” costume

On Wally West's

Above is the cover to The Flash: Rebirth #5 (click on it for full version). It deserves special mention because it’s a fantastic homage to Carmine Infantino’s classic “Flash of Two Worlds” cover from The Flash (vol. 1) #123. That is, however, not why I’ve decided to write about this particular issue. Earlier this year, [...]

“Blackest Night” Report #1

We’ve reached the halfway mark in Blackest Night with issue #4 this week and I feel compelled to write about my general thoughts on the series thus far. I’ve only been actively following Blackest Night itself, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps so I can’t comment on the tie-ins though I hear they are rather [...]

The Flash is the greatest.

The Flash is the greatest.

So I’ve been reading The Flash Companion, which is a book that details the history of the various Flashes and their creators. I’m still in the Golden Age section of the book reading about Jay Garrick and it’s all well written and very informative but it was when I read the foreword by Keith Dallas [...]

Looking back on Wednesday Comics – Part 2

Looking back on Wednesday Comics - Part 2

DISCLAIMER: It’s very possible that, as Wednesday Comics settles in my head, the order in which I’ve placed all of these strips may shift around. They already have, as a matter of fact, been moved back and forth every so often during the process of this writing. I will say that, at the very least, [...]

A brief history of the Flash and I.

The Flash is my favorite superhero. He’s visually striking (a red blur with lightning all over), is ridiculously overpowered and has a great rogues gallery so it should come as no surprise that he’s a character that gets repeated every few months in my sketchbooks.  Below is my latest rendition of him and after the [...]
