It’s the year time! Every year, comics take time and usually end up putting together things that don’t fit the entire arc. Sometimes it’s a “filler,” and sometimes it’s intended to accumulate in something that’s coming, and sometimes to close out previous stories. Here, Dan Watters and Francesco Francavila reunite and offer insight into the mysterious Zanni. Zanni has haunted Dick Grayson for his life at first glance. But thanks to this story, Watters and Francavilla offer insight into Zanni’s motivations and past. The question most people ask when they know that a series has an annual is, is this…
“Who is Donna Troy?” appears to be asked every ten years by DC Comics. First created in 1965, Donna Troy spent a series of stories of origin, depending on what she read. Her history appears to change based on what her story is intended to be useful, rather than honoring the character’s longstanding history. As a result, this question appears to have arisen again, this time addressed by Phil Zimenez, one of the most influential writers and artists in Wonder Woman’s history. Phil Zimenez has long documented her love for Donna Troy, particularly, but is usually considered one of the…
Time fractured after Gorilla Grod and the Legion of Destiny took Omega Energy in Justice League Unlimited’s “We Are Yesterday.” The Justice League managed to get the counterparts who had evacuated most of their time back to their legitimate locations in time, but the other heroes were not so lucky. These unfortunate heroes include Huntress (Helena Wayne), Batman Beyond, Plastic Man, Gold Beetle, Air Wave, The Amazing Man, Marilyn Moonlight and Jonahex. Time fractures made these time-varying heroes vulnerable to legions of Omega Demons who continue to hunt time travelers from the vanishing point. The latter group is essentially guardians…
Batman: Long Halloween – Three months have passed since the last Halloween #7, but finally, the next issue is here this week. It was worth the wait thanks to Becky Kroon’s beautiful art and the progression of the important plot. The main conflict, the appearance of the classic villain, and deeper lore that connects Wayne to Falcone is explored. Batman: Long Halloween – The final Halloween #8 opens, with Commissioner Gordon and Batman entering Arkham Asylum. Robin is on another mission. This allows writers Jeff Loeb and Cronan to focus on Gordon and Batman, revealing new clues and conflicts. Initially…
Whenever one of Big Two decides to put out a weekly series, it’s not just an a) giving the regular creative team time to catch up, b) an upcoming media project starring the characters, or an adventure that could have been designed to tie them together with all of the above. Usually it is not a series designed to have many permanent complications with major complications and rarely deserves the price of all issues. But for this kind of publishing project that is not suitable for Gotham City’s Siren: Orbit, it is an incredibly refreshing change of pace, showing you…
At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, AIPT praised her marginalization by sitting with Taki Soma, creator of the Comixology series. During the enthusiastic chat, Soma revealed the inspiration behind the moving themes of the science fiction miniseries, sharing some fun behind the scenes stories. It is a snapshot of why alienated people are out of this world. Courtesy of Comixology. About the complexity of adolescence AIPT: First of all, I really enjoyed reading the latest issue of Alienation. For readers who are not familiar with the series, please tell us a little about the story. Takisama: Certainly, one day…
Matt Fraction certainly loves Batman. When I sat down to talk to him on Sunday (July 27th) at San Diego Comic-Con, the minutes didn’t hold back his love for the Dark Knight. His list of favorite Batman stories grows from classics like The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year 1 to modern writers like Grant Morrison, and lesser-known stories like Batman opposed the death of a doctor. It makes sense that he will become the next Batman writer. Even if he had no intention of taking over one of DC’s biggest books. “The stupid luck and timing that are the…
SDCC Coverage sponsored by Mad Cave Justice League International, Kraven’s Last Hunt, Moonshadow, Spider-Man: The Clone Saga, Dr. Fate, all classics are on the craft master’s resume. This year’s San Diego Comic Con 2025 was well won with seeing a spotlight panel dedicated to DeMatteis’ life and work. These types of panels often go down a crucial bit of little-known anecdotes, and industry knowledge, telling the location of figures on the overall trajectory of the medium’s history. Dematteis ticked all these boxes, but what really stood out from the hour-long panel was the notes he gave to the…
It’s disappointing to look outside and see what’s manifesting in every corner of America. But, if there is, um, to keep me in mind, it’s a comic. More specifically, in just a handful of recent interviews with writers, each discussed how reliable they can be in the media literacy of the average reader. And despite solid evidence to the contrary, sufficient creators believe their audiences to tackle these big, hefty stories that demand the most robust engagement. But Ee Zann and Godfarr trust only two people to trust their audience. The comic rookie rocked for the proverb fence along with…
The nature of Gehenna’s Grindhouse B-Movie: Naked Aggression #1 is palpable, and in this week’s issue #2, the race continues to stop the well-meaning temptation. While that may sound like a contradiction, Gaena has no choice and the blonde crime boss enforcer is hot in the tail. Prepare for bad shootouts and quick thinking detective jobs. Gehenna: Naked Aggression #2 begins with a hilarious and fun ISA checking out security cameras in your neighborhood. She uses them to track down Gaena who took out dozens of security guards who were meant to protect the son of a crime boss who…
