SDCC Coverage sponsored by Mad Cave On Saturday at San Diego Comics-CON 2025, the “Jim Lee & Friends” panel will discuss Lee’s lack of guests announced on this panel, as he is surprised. Last year, Todd McFarlane and Greg Capro appeared to have announced Batman Spawn, while Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson announced all-in. This year, Lee thanked his fans (DC Comics SVP and General Manager) and public relations officer Kelly Williams. He screams out his daughter and her new husband into the audience, then brings in his first guest, writer Tom King, daughter of Wonder Woman and…
At San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, fans first saw an impressive new cover of Fiona Staples from Saga Book Four, the latest award-winning hardcover version by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples. This much-anticipated collection will arrive at the comic shop on April 15th, 2026, and from Image Comics on April 28th. The cover captures the rebellious energy of teenage protagonist Hazel, and navigates puberty in the middle of a now-ending interplanetary war. “For over a decade, readers have seen Hazel grow in real time,” Vaughn said. “Fiona’s latest cover perfectly reflects our culturally torn adolescent heroine. This volume…
J. Michael Strakinski’s return to Marvel Comics saw him write six one-shots featuring some of the most unique combinations in the Idea House. He organized Ghost Rider against Galactus, Nick Fury with Fin Fang Foom, and even Rocket Raccoon and Doctor Doom. Most of these pairings work not only because they are unexpected, but also how you use Straczynski’s gifts for character work. Along with Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Sixteen, Straczynski takes things to a new level. Peter Parker dates Mary Jane Watson to a respected French restaurant thanks to an unusual stroke of luck (and clever manipulation on his…
The first issue of Fallout’s news was a compelling read due to its unforgettable imagery and unique views on the horrors of the atomic age. It had everything in a great comic series, but one question deep inside me is, can future issues meet the criteria it set? I’m happy to be able to report that the news from Fallout #2 is as good as its predecessor. This time, Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love took a different approach and introduced what happened after their escape from the nuclear monster and then a private fallow land entered the diner. But…
DC X Sonic The Hedgehog was a huge joy to read mainly how Team Sonic and Justice League interact with each other’s worlds (and because the DC-inspired makeover was received by Sonic and his friends), but all the good things have to come to an end. The biggest part of this issue is especially seeing both teams reunite first. Whether Silver and John Stewart are discussing the Green Lantern Corps, and whether Gargardner is at best a taste that they acquired, or whether Batman and Shadow are doing their best to do their best, Ian Flynn writes these meetups in…

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, DC launched a massive celebration of 100 years of publication of the world’s largest superhero, kicking a decade-long tribute to the company’s legacy. This year’s focus was the golden age of comics that illuminated the spotlight between 1935 and 1945, but the DC booth offered more than a walkdown memory lane. Fans were treated to a free copy of the retro style Daily Planet newspaper filled with classic ads from DC’s archives. It doubled as a memorial and autograph book with famous creators such as Jim Lee, Tom King, Matt Fraction, Scott Snyder, Jeff Loeb…
