Hmmm - Unlike covers, this segment is going to have spoilers, isn't it? I will try and refrain from clicking next time. Do not click the shiney, candy-like iFanboy link button!

Great Moments in Comics History: Batman #159

On Mar 18, 2010 9:00 AM

@conor Actually, statutory rape laws vary a great deal from state to state. As a rule, they generally contain a "Romeo and Juliet" clause that would either make it not illegal or the penalities not severe if the age difference of the two are small enough. However, some states have laws that say it is illegal to have sex with someone of a certain age, say 15, and they don't care if you...

Tuesday Showdown: Zatanna vs. Scarlet Witch

On Mar 16, 2010 4:00 PM

Try as I might I could not come up with a sequence of events that did not turn into at least a Showtime-level softcore porn. So I think we all know who wins when these two get together. Everyone.

Top 5: Transformations

On Mar 16, 2010 8:45 AM

The frog Thor was actually among some of the best comics of all time (The whole Walt Simonson run, really). I think most of the rest of these might end up in a bin with exactly the opposite label.

Christopher Nolan Talks Superman and Batman Films

On Mar 10, 2010 1:00 PM

They must realize that a Superman/Batman film is a license to print money, right? It doesn't have to be a shared Universe in the sense that they would go back and forth between each others films and have to constantly acknowledge the existence of other heroes. You can do solo films and hero group films. Nothing wrong with introducing a character in a solo film (where only that hero exists) and...

I'd also take Rucka getting another round. He writes some very good WW.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 03/05/2010

On Mar 5, 2010 1:07 PM

Ebay can be particularly bad for buying ridiculous quantities of comics. If you start and say hey what about this run and that run, and oh what about this character -- I have always loved him, and might as well just buy the rest of these to fill out the collection.... If you are just flitting about and looking for large lots you will find a ton of stuff for a very low per book price so each pur...

Your Next New Avenger is... The Thing

On Mar 5, 2010 12:52 PM

Does it really matter whether they are blasters, fliers,  or brawlers when they are all sitting around a table eating breakfast? Because, based on past issues of New Avengers, that will probably be something like 95% of every issue.

Great Moments in Comics History: Detective Comics #397

On Mar 5, 2010 9:00 AM

I wonder what proceeds the "...and then take care of my wound!" "I love prankcalls. I'll call the local constables, taunt them, hide in the shadows, abduct a straggling officer, then stab him in the stomach just watch him scream, but before he dies I will get out my handy-dandy bat-medical kit... ...and then take care of my wound!" Ha ha! Good times.

Great Moments in Comics History: Justice League of America #128

On Feb 19, 2010 9:00 AM

Superman is actually referring to the University of Houston Hawkman, not stuttering. There was a brief fad of all the superheroes going back to school to get the education they missed out on because of their crime fighting. Things got very confusing when Hawboy went to Pepperdine and starting putting on airs and insisting on being called Hawkman. Long story short, UH Hawkman is leaving and Pepp...
