Here we are. The final moments of calm before the storm of Rebirth is actually upon us in full force. Next week is Wondercon, and DC’s scheduled press event to unveil the Rebirth creative teams and details. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been making yourself sick with anxiety over the whole affair so having…
DC Daily Planet: Can You Kill the Killing Joke?
This week’s DCDP is gonna be a little different. Let’s talk about the Killing Joke. I doubt I need to do much of an introduction for it. It’s arguably one of the most famous Batman stories of all time (for a lot of shitty reasons and some pretty valid ones too.) But just in case…
DC Daily Planet: Go on tour with Black Canary
Welcome to the end of a blissfully slow news week here in our little corner of the DCU. Things have settled down in a major way but this calm is likely only going to last another two weeks or so before major events like the Wondercon Rebirth announcements, the solicits for June, and the release…
An Epiphany: DC Comics’ “Martian Manhunter”
Martian Manhunter Vol. 1 (Issues #1-6) Rob Williams (Script), Eddy Barrows, Diogenes Neves (Pencilers), Eber Ferreira, Marc Deering (Inks), Gabe Eltaeb (Colors), Tom Napolitano (Letters) DC Comics June 2015 – Present I’ll be totally honest with you, when I picked up the newly launched Martian Manhunter book, I had no idea what to expect. I knew nothing about it….
DC Daily Planet: Woo! Woo! Etta Candy, Super Hero Girls, and Ben Affleck
This week’s DCDP is going to be all about catching up on the news from corners of the DCU that got pushed to the side in the frenzy of keeping up to date with Rebirth. Can you believe it? We’re finally living in a (sort of) post-Rebirth Panic world. We made it, you guys. There’s…
DC Daily Planet: Rebirth: The Good, The Bad, and The Unknown
So, here we are. It’s finally happening. We’re finally getting information about Rebirth straight from the horse’s mouth. In an exclusive interview with CBR and video presentation at ComicsPRO yesterday, Geoff Johns confirmed that Rebith is not a reboot, or even really a mass retcon, but an event focusing on “bringing legacy” back into DC…
DC Daily Planet: #Rebirth Watch, Starfire, and flying to Gotham City
So here we are, wrapping up week three of DC’s Rebirth news/buzz/rumors fiasco, and honestly? We don’t have a ton to show for it. I wish I could say I’m surprised by this. Here are some things that have been pinned down and confirmed since the last time we took a look: Scott Snyder is definitely…
DC Daily Planet: Trades, Cross Overs, and Even More Rebirth
I’m sure this comes as a surprise to no one, but the Rebirth rumor mill continues to churn, as rumor mills are wont to do. And we’ll get to that, I promise. But before we go back to the anxiety-filled world of reboots and retcons, let’s take a nice detour to some pleasant things that are…
DC Daily Planet: Rumors, retcons, and #Rebirth
I thought last week was pretty crazy for DC with #DCWeek in full effect but it turns out that was just the tip of the ice burg. On Friday, the DCU got flipped upside down by a series of rumors followed by a mysterious promotional image posted by Dan Didio and Jim Lee. Let’s break…
DC Daily Planet: #DCWeek
This has been a pretty intense news week for all corners of the DCU so in an effort to not be completely overwhelming, I’m going to take a more categorical approach to this week. Let’s give it a shot, shall we? First up, film: As part of their “#DCWeek” campaign, the CW launched a special…
20/20: A Look at Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s “Vision”
Vision #1-3 Tom King (Script), Gabriel Hernandez Walta (Penciler), Jordie Bellaire (Colors), VC’S Crayon Cowles (Letters), Mike Del Mundo (Covers) Marvel Comics Nov. 2015 – Present Hi my name is Meg and I don’t read Marvel comics.
DC Daily Planet: How Bizarre, How Bizarro
Happy Friday everyone! News on all fronts has slowed down for all corners of the DCU this week, which is a little unexpected as DC usually grabs the week of the 15th to public their new solicits. This is especially anxiety inducing for me given the last round of solicits teased big issue 50 “back…
