I know the iFanboys are generally down on Philip Tan, but I liked his work here doing some nice double-page…

I’m not someone who thinks Superman is inherently boring, but his attitude in this issue shows why people complain about…

This book didn’t quite live up to my expectations after the excellent Blackest Night: Batman #1, but it set things…

April 24, 2013 2:39 pm I jumped off because the dialogue felt a little light for me, and I dug the denser stuff Hickman was doing, but sounds like Fraction's still doing cool big idea stuff, so may jump back on.
April 16, 2013 3:11 am I work in journalism and had to cover this all day, including seeing a lot of less distributed photos that were even more graphic than some of the more widely spread ones. I'm glad that iFanboy can always be a place of hope and optimism. (Except when it comes to DC editorial.)
April 15, 2013 3:59 am Figure this has already been addressed, but apparently they said Booster would be from Canada at a convention (and also see other people saying, more specifically, Toronto), but I haven't seen it addressed anywhere myself yet.
April 13, 2013 3:37 pm Paul - I figure someone else already pointed this out to you, but you can actually buy those Hawkeye shirts. WeLoveFine sells licensed versions, along with the bootlegs out there. http://www.welovefine.com/4636-i-heart-hawkeye.html

March 20, 2013 1:30 pm NEW IDEA: Art Baltazar and Franco. Superman Adventures was FUN, and who better to create an awesome, accessible mainstream Superman book?
March 20, 2013 1:23 pm Well this is a disappointment. I was starting to get excited about Diggle coming on, especially thinking back on how much I loved his Adam Strange Planet Heist story. After Grant Morrison, it's time for something different; can DC please get Darwyn Cooke to do something following his excellent Before Watchmen stuff?
March 15, 2013 3:58 pm What a gorgeous book. I tend to complain that I don't have enough time to read all the comics I like, but this is one that I wanted to just sit with and look at over and over again. Painful and beautiful. (Way to go, Patrick Gleason.)
March 11, 2013 3:03 pm Sounds great! (I also just realized I've been reading enough of Paul's writing now to recognize his style, especially the last few sentences. #ifanboyaddict)
