Stories about old people who are happy and content being old, who stoutly resist fantastic temptations otherwise, are I think always the products of much younger people. Actual old people are much less sanguine about looming death, I find, less likely to smile indulgently at mantlepiece pictures of themselves in their younger days, sigh contentedly, and turn their faces away from mysterious elixirs and fabulous potions.
Neil Gaiman was barely thirty when he wrote the short story “Chivalry” in the early 1990s. It’s a light, mostly humorous story. But it’s very much the humor of someone quite young looking at someone else who is quite old, at a light, humorous distance.
Chivalry was turned into a graphic novel recently – just about a year ago – by Colleen Doran, who apparently scripted this version as well as doing all of the art in a variety of styles. (Lettering is by Todd Klein.

Hey! Shit actually happens in this book! And those things largely validate my “get off the pot and actually say XYZ” grumblings from the previous books, which also makes me happy. [1] Once again, I’m not claiming any great powers of reasoning or insight: this is a pastiche superhero comic, and the plot beats are thuddingly obvious. They were just massively delayed for reasons that I tend to believe owed more to “I want to tell some only vaguely related stories first” than “this Other Stuff is actually important.”
This book follows the first two Black Hammer books (one and two ) and the very much sidebar (and baroquely-titled) books about Sherlock Frankenstein and Doctor Star Doctor Andromeda (my post will go live in three days as I type this; let’s see if I remember to add the link!).

Jordan Peele’s “The Twilight Zone” is one of the most-anticipated shows of 2019: a bold take on a beloved classic, from an A-list risk-taker. CBS scored a coup by landing it — but CBS won’t air it.
Instead, it will debut on CBS’s streaming service, CBS All Access. Welcome to the Streaming Zone, a time and place in which streaming is so dominant that even the biggest TV network is going all in.
The irresistible allure of the Streaming Zone has pulled some of the most talented people in television to Netflix, Amazon and Apple. Peele joins Shonda Rhimes, Ryan Murphy, Oprah Winfrey and many others in a new reality where content seems to go on forever.

When Disney finally closes its deal to acquire 21st Century Fox’s film and TV assets early next year, the company will gain — among many things — ownership of Hulu, which has never before had just one company hold a controlling stake.
But with Disney also readying the launch of its own Disney-branded streaming service next year, it will now have ownership of two competing streaming services, which begs the question: How will Disney be able to launch Disney+ while allowing Hulu to continue to grow?
Analysts and experts who spoke to TheWrap believe that it will be possible for Disney to capably maintain Hulu while getting Disney+ off the ground, but acknowledge there could be some choppy waters ahead if all companies involved — namely Disney and Comcast — don’t play nice with each other. WarnerMedia and Comcast, which collectively own 40 percent of Hulu, declined to comment for this story.

Despite Disney gaining approval from the Department of Justice for its $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV entertainment assets, Comcast is not out of the running yet. But the clock is ticking.
“This puts them under more time pressure to stop the freight train that is Disney’s current bid,” Laura Martin, an analyst for Needham & Company, told TheWrap on Wednesday. “They had to know a counter bid was coming from Disney — what’s taking so long?”
Earlier Wednesday, the Justice Department signed off on the revised Disney deal in which Disney agreed to divest Fox’s 22 regional sports networks within 90 days of the closing as a condition of antitrust approval.
With the feds signed off, all that’s left is a vote by each company’s shareholders to make the deal official.

Batman #404-407
Written by Frank Miller
Art by David Mazzucchelli
Colored by Richmond Lewis
Lettered by Todd Klein
Batman Year One was the first Batman (and DC) comic I read back in 2010. The things that stood out to me were the poetic nature of Frank Miller’s writing (mainly the caption boxes), the parts that Batman Begins homaged, and how Jim Gordon seemed to have more page time than Batman. After rereading this story a few times over the year, I realized that Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli could have named this story “Jim Gordon Year One” and his ups and downs as he goes from a do-gooder cop from Chicago to an overworked Gotham policeman who has an affair with one of his co-workers to an ally of Batman. His character arc is just as compelling and more down to earth than Batman’s. Letterer Todd Klein shows this...

Detective Comics #854-860
Written by Greg Rucka
Art by J.H. Williams III
Colored by Dave Stewart
For a few months, Batwoman, who had been recently revamped as a lesbian and former Us Army cadet, headlined DC Comics’ flagship book Detective Comics. Kate Kane made her debut as Batwoman in 52 #7 and played a big part in the weekly series helping her ex-girlfriend Renee Montoya and the Question track down the followers of the Crime Bible. Batwoman held her own in this series that was stuffed with many DC Comics characters with some great moments, including surviving a stab wound to the heart, provoking seasoned Gcpd cop Renee Montoya to exclaim, “That’s a Batwoman”, and warding off Nightwing’s romantic advances. (Sorry, Dick, this redhead plays for a different team.)

Comic-Con International has unveiled the cover art for their 2014 souvenir book created by comic artist Jim Lee. I love Lee's style, and this is the perfect cover for this year's Comic-Con as 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the caped crusader. Comic-Con also points out three other separate notable anniversaries for Batman:
It’s the 100th birthday of writer Bill Finger who wrote many of the character’s adventures, from the earliest stories through the 1960s, and is responsible for such additions to the Bat-legend as Commissioner Gordon, the Batcave, the Batmobile, Gotham City, and Alfred, plus some of the Dark Knight’s most infamous villains. Finger is the namesake of the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing, given each year at Comic-Con since 2005;It’s the 50th anniversary of the “New Look” Batman, which started in 1964 under editor Julius Schwartz and including artist Carmine Infantino’s interpretation of the Caped Crusader,...

Colored by Ben Dimagmaliw

Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill have no time for a preamble or set up in Nemo: The Roses Of Berlin, the latest offshoot of their League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series. Within the first couple of pages, they dive right into the story of Janni Dakkar, the daughter of Nemo, and her husband Broad Arrow Jack invading 1940s Berlin to rescue their daughter. When their son-in-law’s airship is shot down over Germany with their daughter inside, Janni and Jack storm Berlin, finding a city that they didn’t expect. It’s not a Nazi driven Berlin (even though Nazis are there.) It’s the Berlin straight out of Metropolis and the imagination of Fritz Lang. Swiftly realizing that it’s all a...

George Harrison once said to Eric Idle, “If we’d known we were going to be the Beatles, we’d have tried harder.”
That’s the phrase that comes to mind when I look back on that fall day when the pages first came into the darkroom at DC Comics. I’d been working there no more than a month or two.
Back in the day, pages of art that had bleeds were drawn on 12×18″ boards, which were too big to photocopy. To make copies for the colorist, every page had to be shot on a stat camera. Hundreds of pages a week. With photochemicals. It was a mind-numbing job, and I know one person who simply left one day for lunch and never came back.
And so one day, this book came in to be shot. Great, an oversized book, and it looked double-sized– 40 pages. There goes my break.

The Sandman: Overture #1
Writer: Neil Gaiman
Artist: J.H. Williams III
Colorist: Dave Stewart
Letterer: Todd Klein
The art on The Sandman was always one of its biggest strengths and potentially greatest weaknesses. As an early book that treated artists as interchangeable parts, the book succeeded on how well the artist for an issue or an arc was able to bring to life the sheer magic of Neil Gaiman’s stories. Thanks to the carefully curated eye of editor Karen Berger and Gaiman, most of the artists measured up to the story, turning the tale of a mopey god of dreams into a personally movingl story about family and responsibility. Charles Vess, Jill Thompson, Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg, Kelly Jones, Marc Hempel and countless other artists brought to life the fantastic concepts that Gaiman created almost out of nothing. The Sandman was great. It was special. And then it ended.

Batwoman is a character loved by almost every DC geek on the planet. The newest incarnation of Batwoman is known as Kate Cane. She's tough, she's smart, she's witty, and she can throw a right hook that'll knock your socks off. Kane first appeared in 52 #7, during the spring of 2006. Around that time DC also announced her sexual orientation, and for those of you who don't know, Ms. Kane is a lesbian.
Batwoman's creators, Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III, announced that they would end their run on Batwoman once they finish issue #26, and released this joint statement Wednesday, September 4th on their individual blogs:
"Dear Batwoman readers - From the moment DC asked us to write Batwoman — a dream project for both of us — we were committed to the unofficial tagline “No Status Quo.” We felt that the series and characters should always be moving forward, to keep changing and evolving.

There's always one day during the Sdcc when you just shake your head, laugh, and say, "This schedule is ridiculous." Saturday, July 20th, is shaping up to be that day this year.
Horror fans will have a lot of choices to make as the "Bates Motel" panel battles the one-two punch of Godzilla and Seventh Son. Later in the day you'll be faced with choosing to learn more about "True Blood," Telltale's The Walking Dead video game, or "Being Human." Right now 20th Century Fox's presentation that runs at the same time remains "To Be Announced," but once details are revealed, we'll provide an update.

But it goes beyond the printed page. There will be trophies for best web-based comic and comics website, while a further accolade will honour the best comics-related TV show or movie.
All the nominations are listed in full below.
It's apparent that the TV/film nominations do not necessarily have to be adapted from a comic. The contenders in this category are: The Big Bang Theory, The Walking Dead, X-Men; First Class, Captain America and Misfits.
The Big Bang Theory isn't derived from a comic but features four characters who are keen fans of comics and sci-fi culture.
