Decypher DC's White Board Of Doom

It appeared at last month's New York Comic-Con, and then again in last week's DC superhero comics. Later, an easy-to-read version showed up as part of an interview with DC Comics head honcho Dan DiDio over the weekend. I'm talking about the whiteboard of doom. This is DC's latest attempt to tease fans with hints of what's to come in the next year or so. Having trouble telling your JSA from your JLA on the whiteboard, and wondering what it all means? We'll try and make some sense of it all, under the jump. More »

Titans Take Us Past Puberty -- And Defeat The Justice League

Could a Teen Titans movie be more successful than Justice League: Mortal? Both films deal with a motley group of DC Universe superheroes, with aliens rubbing shoulders with pulp detectives and Amazons. But the sidekicks-on-their-own franchise Titans could have one major strength that Justice League lacks: a single identifiable main character, who has a story arc that audiences can relate to. Screenwriter Mark Verheiden (Battlestar Galactica) spilled some story details in a new interview. More »

Monsters, Hotpants and Horrors Dominate January's Second Week in Comics

Welcome back to New Comics We Crave, a weekly column about what comics to buy on Wednesday, written by our resident Comics Czar, Graeme McMillan. Way to go, Marvel. Not even a week after I go and say that January is a graveyard for interesting comic releases, and you put out two big-name books in the same week. I'll dig into the Marvel titles, some horror, and the one book every SF fan should absolutely be buying this week, after the jump. More »

A Drinking Game for New Issue of "Ultimate Human"

Welcome to New Comics We Crave, a weekly column from io9's comics czar Graeme McMillan, a rather shy young Scottish lad whom you may know from Newsarama or Fanboy Rampage. Ordinarily published on Tuesdays (in time for you to prepare for Wednesday, the Sacred Day of New Comics), this week it's coming at you late since new comics arrive on Friday for the holidays.

If the first week of the year means things like "New beginnings" and "Turning over a new leaf" for, well, almost everyone in the world who follows the Judeo-Christian calendar, then it's refreshing to see that comic publishers continue to buck that particular trend by releasing very little of interest while we're all doing more important things like recovering from parties. Nonetheless, if you find yourself wandering into a comic book store in a still-drunken haze this Friday with some cash in your pocket, I thought it may be a nice thing to suggest some ways for you to spend it.
