Plush Justice League and Toyfair
Toyfair, the giant show for toys and games, has just finished. There were lots of announcements and photos, the Mattel JLU line is still running (great Lobo figure) and their DC Universe line is growing (Tyr WTF?), DC Direct are producing great stuff, and there are more Morrison era JLA figures. However, it’s the above [...]
Comics in Madrid
It’s been a horrendously busy week for me, but an enjoyable one nevertheless. I’ve been in Madrid, Spain all week for a couple of workshops. I’ve been ther once before, about this time last year in fact, and I think I’m developing an appreciation for the city. Which is surprising as I normally hate [...]
Blackest Night #1-4: The Earth Bound catch-up
I needed to write a brief Blackest Night catch up for my review of JLA #39, but there was so much stuff to cover that I’ve decided to move it to a post all of its own. The following concentrates on the Justice League and on the Earth-bound heroes, I’ll leave the majority of the [...]
Absolute Justice, Smallville style
I’d gotten rather use to the lite versions of DC heroes on Smallville, the “before they were famous” versions, but it looks like they are about to do some serious DC history.

Superman: The Man of Steel Platinum Series (1994)
Some some reason I’ve got a couple of boxes of old trading cards. I was never excited enough with the concept to ever collect or swap them in anger, but I’d invariably end up picking up a couple of packets of the latest range just to see what they were like. I’d also rummage through [...]
Phrase of the Day: Alien Space Bats
It started off with Warren Ellis citing a Jonbar Hinge in Do Anything 012 (his Bleeding Cool column). I was interested in where the phrase had come from so there was only one recourse: Wikipedia – the fountain and end point of all pointless knowledge. Well the Jonbar Hinge (a small seemingly random event that [...]
JLA: Cry for Justice #2 pages
Go see DC’s Source for all seven preview pages. CRY FOR JUSTICE #2 should hit stores this Wednesday (US) or Thursday (UK).
XKCD reads my mind
No sooner do I post that I’ve just received a delivery of Batman themed LEGO than I see XKCD’s entry for today:
I laughed, but the synchronicity of the Batman/Lego references was rather disquieting.If any body needs me I’ll be out and about practising how to be a responsible adult.
Hints on the next JLA rollcall
DC released a set of preview pictures ahead of the Editorial panel at SDCC. Among the pictures was a preview picture with the now traditional blacked out characters…
Newsarama live blogged the panel itself with comments from James Robinson
On Justice League of America, Robinson says he doesn’t think the team is currently “what it could be,” [...]
