Many of Iron Man's core villians are rooted in '60s Cold War era fear of Communism and espionage--Wong Chu , the Mandarin, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, the Red Barbarian, the Unicorn, Radioactive...

Shooter's Beyonder may have been omnipotent. DeFalco and Englehart's clearly was not:

It's a trade-off, I think. Contemporizing him by updating the costume and de-emphasizing the Power Man name keeps him from seeming anachronistic, but it also distances him, somewhat, from his origins...

Really looking forward to getting this:

Got numbers? . . . at any rate, those numbers were just (as I said) intended to be representative of the larger picture. Minis and OGNs are nice, but you can't really run a Big Two- sized business on...

Just because sales outside of North America may not be reflected in the Diamond numbers doesn't mean that these sales are not recorded.



It's easier to get a number on print comics because most...

Café Press has a bunch of GotG shirts, including a bunch with Gamora solo.

In my opinion, Stark is one of the more inconsistently portrayed characters in the Marvel U. Sometimes, he's portrayed sympathetically as embattled futurist (Matt Fraction's Invincible Iron Man, for...

Yeah . . . it's like the rest of pop culture, the interest in exporting (or, from the U.S. perspective, importing) it is tied to the potential to make money from doing so. It's the same in the U.S....

Yeah, it does, but if you look at the Diamond figures for 2013 (http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2013.html), for example, if you add together the total units shipped by Diamond for both...

Right, that sort of work provides a nice little bubble in which creators can have relatively free reign, but the downside of a mini that has little or no connection to the rest of the line, from a...

NC Comicon (http://nccomicon.com/ ) here in North Carolina is still primary focused on comics.

By and large, Western audiences are acclimated to Western comics, and Manga publishers don't have the same sort of production and distribution reach here that Marvel and DC have, so their titles are...

Yes, I think the issue of (not) inventing new characters is actually pretty important, because in the traditional work-for-hire monthly model, there was/is relatively really little motivation for...

Werewolves: Robert Kirkman/Jason Howard's Astounding Wolf-Man, Bill Willingham's Fables, or if you're looking for something vintage, Werewolf By Night.

That's a good point, sure. It's pretty clear that that was the way the market was going, so it's hard to see those books are either entirely creator- or entirely editorially-driven. They really were...

Sure, titles that have been conceived from the start (like Miller's Dark Knight Returns and Millar's Ultimates) as a closed-ended mini-series rather than an open-ended on-going monthly have definite...

It all depends on what you're going to count "sophistication" and "complexity." And do you mean solely in terms of writing or visually as well? Warren Ellis's Planetary and Millar's The Ultimates I &...

Hardly surprising that "white guys," historically the most included group in the comics industry, are on the whole the least interested in including more diversity in comics and comic book films, and...
