Next Marvel Knights Motion Comic Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth

Following Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk, the next Marvel Knights animated (motion comic) DVD release will feature another Wolverine battle. Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth is due out January 14, 2014 from Shout! Factory. I don’t even remember hearing about this comic, but it seems that it’s written by Jeph Loeb (now out in Hollywood working on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and drawn by Simone Bianchi (Astonishing X-Men). It was published as Wolverine: Evolution, collecting Wolverine #50-55 from 2007. There’s a major spoiler […]

Young Romance: The Best of Simon & Kirby’s Romance Comics

Young Romance: The Best of Simon & Kirby’s Romance Comics by the masterful team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby is a hoot to read, a real time capsule. Most of the stories reprinted here first appeared in Young Romance, the book that created the romance comic, during the period 1947 to 1959. Also included are a couple of Western love stories (a genre that had its own, multiple titles) and three from Young Love. All have a dynamism to […]

Are Comics Detrimental to Creators?

Tom Spurgeon posted today this thought-provoking quote: there’s a bunch of stuff out there right now on creative teams fighting and/or dissolving. It’s not something I care to link to, but you can find it pretty easily if you look around. The thing that I wanted to note is that this kind of public griping always seems to happen when comics is in a real emotionally stressful period; I think the mini-era we’re in qualifies, for sure. I think we’re […]

Comic Book Comics #6

This self-referential series, a history of comics in comic form, ends with this issue. It’s a mixed bag, looking both forward and backward. The first chapter tackles the question of identifying the first graphic novel. As someone interested in comic history — that’s why I’m reading this comic — I’d already heard most of this information, so I found myself skimming. Various titles, including Gil Kane’s Blackmark and It Rhymes With Lust, are mentioned in a panel or two each. […]

Joe Simon: My Life in Comics

Review by KC Carlson Normally, guys Joe Simon’s age should be retired. Kicking back. Taking life easy. Here’s a couple of things you should know about Joe. He’s 97 years old. He and his long-time partner Jack Kirby created a lot of comic book characters — including Captain America. He was Timely Comics’ (now Marvel Comics) first editor. He trained Stan Lee. (Let that one sink in a little.) He and Kirby created the romance genre and were instrumental in […]

Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. Motion Comic DVD Due June 14

Shout! Factory continues its line of Marvel Animation DVDs with the upcoming Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. This story, by Brian Michael Bendis (writer) and Alex Maleev (artist), started as a motion comic before being published, which is a reversal of the usual order. That suggests (one hopes) that this product should work well animated. Spider-Woman is reintroduced through a plot that involves her joining a mysterious espionage organization to gain vengeance on the Skrulls, who had previously kidnapped and replaced […]
