Is it just me or does that interface look real nasty. I am not opposed to the idea of digital comics but someone needs to work on their UI that looks cluttered confusing, overly flashy and a bit tacky. Hasn't won my vote at this stage but time will tell, this is only a beta.

I have used  Celtx  at work for scripting short films and have started my first comic script on it, it is pretty good, easy to use and intuitive. (I have only tried it on Mac Os).

Admittedly I haven't read this yet, and I have faith that if anyone is capable of pulling this off then it is Geoff Johns, but as an editorial decision for me personally the whole bringing back Barry thing sucks. For me, and many others (check out the current Newsarma poll) Wally West IS the flash, it is a shame to see him sidelined. But more than that the ...

Really great choices Sonia. I had DC 596 at the time and have since read the other two in collections. For me one of them is  Detective Comics 614 by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, it was one of those great one off issues that worked really well as a good self contained 22 page story and really stayed with me. I lost it years ago until I picked up a copy in a £1 grab bag ...

I think people are taking Grant Morrison's work personally because it is so challenging and he has dared to do it in major titles in what is considered the primary DCU continuity. Perhaps in an indie book, or a creator owned side project people are happy to be challenged, and expect less conventional story telling, but in mainstream superhero comics the stories ar...

Interesting thought provoking article. Even as a non-America I do feel Superman (and other iconic super heroes) shouldn't feel ashamed about representing the "American way". However I can't help but think that  Willingham's idea of the American way might be a little different than that of Siegal and Shulster's when they originally created superman. The American way of ...

Fun article, however I do have an exception to "3. Thou shalt not employ an American to write British dialogue." Greg Rucka's Queen and Country is a fantastic, british set comic, and as a life long native of Britain I have not found any of the dialogue wrong. But you are right, when it is done badly, it is terrible (like a comic book equivalent Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins). My...

I saw a copy of GREEN ARROW LONGBOW HUNTERS trade paperback at a LCS a few months ago, I thought about it, didn't buy, changed my mind a week later but it had gone, DOH! KIcked myself.

@TheNextChampion - I couldn't agree more. If movies like The Dark Knight can draw massive crowds with serious adult drama seamlessly blended with the spectacle and excitement of fantastical characters then surely the comics can manage this. I used to think that 'superhero' movies would never catch up with the brilliance of comic books, the last 12 ...

This is pretty cool, fan-made or not. I loved the 89 Batman at the time, but I am really excited about Dark Knight, I loved Batman Begins (My favorite DC based movie so far, by a country mile!)
