Dylan Dog
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night

Based on the comic series by Tiziano Sclavi

Freestyle Releasing
Originally Released: April 29, 2011


Kevin Monroe's take on the comic series Dylan Dog, first created by Italian talent Tiziano Slavi, only bears some resemblance to its origins, but is at moments a film based in fun with a wide variety of homages.

Added to Netflix's streaming selection quite literally just before Thanksgiving, Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night is the category of flick to watch if you enjoy movies in the vein of Indiana Jones or detective mysteries [...]

Pilot Season: Anonymous #1
Created by Matt Hawkins, Alan McElroy
Written by Alan McElroy
Art by Michael Montenant
Colors by Phil Smith
Letters by Troy Peteri
Cover by Eric Jones
Top Cow Productions
Release Date: November 9th, 2011
Cover Price: $3.99


Pilot Season: Anonymous #1 is a very interesting read that could have been a great one, if not for a few things. The thing that I don't care for in the current Top Cow studios is that there's really no Top Cow "style" anymore. It used to be, when you picked up a Top Cow book, you knew EXACTLY what you were getting. A certain art style, a familiar method of story telling, it felt like a cohesive universe. Unfortunately, that luxury is gone now [...]

Posted: 25 Nov 2011 12:00 PM PST

Blackest Friday

DC Comics and ComiXology are apparently starting a Black Friday tradition with Blackest Friday.

Blackest Friday is the publishing company's 99 cent sale that features the comic books from the 2009-2010 crossover event comic. All of the tie-ins and crossovers from R.E.B.E.L.S. to the special mini-series comics like Blackest Night: Titans are included in this mega-sale. In fact, this sale moves beyond the hit series into the bi-weekly follow up comic Brightest Day, however the Brightest Day tie-ins are not included [...]

Funko Adds A Second Dimension To Their Vinyl Toy Line

Bat Blox

Funko released images and preorder information for the upcoming Blox line of unique vinyl toys.

I'm a big fun of all of Funko's line of vinyl figures including the bobble heads and more specifically the rounded, larger Pop! Vinyl figures that add a certain level of "adorable" that Funko has seemed to perfect on pop culture icons such as The Joker and Batman [...]

Cover by Jose Luis, Sandro Riberiro, and David Ocampo
Top Cow Productions
Release Date: November 16th, 2011
Cover Price: $3.99


In the interest of fairness, I should warn you all ahead of time that I am a life long, die-hard Green Bay Packers fan. With that being said, I can guarantee you that that will have NO bearing on my review and opinions of Seraph #1. I've read and reviewed three of the Top Cow Pilot Season titles today and I can honestly say, that this is the one that I liked the most. It's by far the most original, with a very interesting concept created by Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs and fleshed out by writer Phil Hester. It's a great blend of super heroics/the supernatural and, unfortunately, reality for some unfortunate people [...]

The Mondo set of posters and prints are some of the most dynamic art pieces that are available commercially, and the newly announced line of DC Comics Mondo posters starts on Friday with this awesome Fortress of Solitude piece.

Starting at a random time on Friday, Mondo will be releasing this limited edition poster prints to the masses for a cool price tag of $50. The piece by J.C. Richard is 12x32 and showcases arguably the most iconic of DC characters, Superman. And while it does showcase Superman, the piece focuses not only on the character but also his Fortress of Solitude [...]
