If you watched NBC’s Fringe season finale on Friday, you may have spotted these bizarre DC comics covers. Don’t worry, you didn’t imagine them. They were all reminiscent of famous DC covers, but with some alterations. The Fringe episode dipped into an alternate universe where even the smallest details were somewhat off. Geoff Johns, DC […]

Here is something to ruin your day. DC Comics announced that Judd Winick has been promoted to Editor-in-Chief. You may recall that back in February Dan DiDio was promoted to Co-Publisher of DC Comics. Well, this left an opening in the Editor-in-Chief position. Here is the announcement from the DC Universe: The Source blog: FOR […]

For those of you following DC Comics and Blackest Night, you may be aware that our first glimpse of a Red Lantern was in 2007. But did you know it could have been a lot sooner? A lot sooner as in … 1940? Given slightly different circumstances, Alan Scott the original Green Lantern may have […]

Simultaneously, DC had the propaganda machine turned up to 11 as they had other media lined up to cover each project.

** SPOILERS FOR FLASH: REBIRTH #5. Consider yourself warned. ** I’ve been ranting and raving about Barry Allen coming back as the Flash for over a year now. That’s not why I owe them an apology. I’m still pissed about that. I owe Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver an apology for doubting them in […]

I didn’t realize until very recently that Alan Moore inspired much of the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night stories. I had no idea! Turns out that Moore wrote a short story entitled “Tygers” in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2 back in 1986. This 12-page story featured the creation of many of […]

Just a heads-up, I appeared on a recent podcast of THE UNIQUE GEEK. This time out the crew was reviewing the zombie book World War Z by Max Brooks. On the podcast was Jon (The Unique Geek), Cary, Widge (NeedCoffee.com), Ron, and myself. I’m not normally a fan of zombie stories (unless we’re talking George […]
