Batman was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939). Originally referred to as “the Bat-Man” and still referred to at times as “the Batman,” the character is additionally known as “the Caped Crusader”, “the Dark Knight,” and “the World’s Greatest Detective,” among other titles. He has been around for 75 years and we want to celebrate the Batman of one of the most well know of American Icons. In early 1939, the success of Superman in Action Comics prompted…

The original Doom Patrol first appeared in My Greatest Adventure #80 (June 1963) just about the same time Marvel introduced the original X-Men. Writers Arnold Drake (who was the feature’s regular scripter) and Bob Haney, artist Bruno Premiani, and editor Murray Boltinoff are generally credited as the team’s creators. The first Doom Patrol consisted of super-powered misfits, whose “gifts” caused them alienation and trauma. The series was canceled in 1968, and Drake killed the team off in the final issue, Doom Patrol #121. In the years after this story several…

This issue picks up right where the last issue left off and deals with Peter Parker’s relationship with Anna Maria Marconi. In fact I have to admit the first few pages of this comic had me legitimately surprised. I wasn’t expecting Peter to problem the way he did. SPOILER I was rather shocked when Peter not only openly admitted he was Spider-Man, but explained the entire situation regarding the body-swap with Doc. Ock. I’ll have to admit Anna’s open acceptance of the situation stuck me as a bit strange, but…

Media Release: More bad news for Marvel Comics fans as new rumors suggest that the two Fantastic Four comics will be put on hiatus because of the new Fox Studios Josh Trank movie.

It’s said the members of the FF will still appear in the comics, but…

Despite early and repeated rumblings following the release of The Avengers that Marvel was developing a new Hulk film, actor Mark Ruffalo insisted last spring that a solo outing was “not in the works right now.” He did, however, try comfort fans whose hopes he smashed by adding, “One never knows what the future will bring.” Is it possible that future is now? Latino Review draws attention to comments made Thursday on a Minnesota radio show by Incredible Hulk TV star Lou Ferrigno, who said Ruffalo’s Green Goliath emerged as…

Lightning can strike twice — and so, apparently, can radioactive spiders. Marvel Comics is introducing a brand new character, a mysterious female super powered figure named Silk, in this Wednesday’s Amazing Spider-Man #1. And though she’s brand new, her origin is familiar to comic book fans. That’s because her spider-based powers come from the same irradiated arachnid as the one that changed the course of Peter Parker’s life. “The spider lived long enough to bite one more person,” explains writer Dan Slott. “When I pitched that idea at one of…

On March 26 Dan Slott had a book signing at the Forbidden Planet Comic Shop in New York City and I am sure he was questioned about the direction he was going in the new series Silver Surfer. It reminded me of the movie I saw as a child called Forbidden Planet. It stared Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen and of course Robbie the Robot. It was years ahead of it’s time in 1956 and was a landmark classic in science fiction. It had interstellar travel ray guns and…

It has the climax and emotional twist that make a story interesting but mostly it finalizes what we all knew, that from Amazing Spider-Man 700 to Superior Spider-Man #30 Peter Parker is and should be the true hero…
