A little late, but we wanted to note the passing of comic legend Gene “The Dean” Colan.
If you’re a fan of Smallville (or even if you’re not) and have a Twitter account (or even if you don’t), have we got Friday night plans for you!
Join esteemed comic critic Josh Sands (@JoshCritic) as he livetweets both hours of tonight’s momentous series finale!
For good or ill (mostly ill, let’s face it), this dopey little show that was once considered “Dawson’s Creek with super powers” has lasted for TEN YEARS and carved out a place for itself in the history of Superman. It’s not a place you may care to visit, but it’s there, and it’s rent-controlled. It practically has tenure. And for all the moments of pain and the few moments of pleasure it’s brought our illustrious reviewer over the past decade, he’s not going to just let it slip into the sunset quietly.
Starts tonight at 8:00pm, PST. You will believe a man can bitch!

As anyone who’s been paying attention can see, we’ve got a slew of comic book movies this year. From the obvious (X-Men: First Class, Captain America, Green Lantern) to the less obvious (Dylan Dog, Priest), to the debatable (Green Hornet, Conan the Barbarian). And we can’t tackle everything worth saying about them in the comic, so we turn to our often forgotten blog section! More thoughts (but no spoilers) behind the jump.
Well WonderCon 2011 has come and gone, and I still have a smile on my face. I had a great time tabling with Sean (who came all the way up from LA), seeing the sights, buying new books, and meeting people.
Thanks to all the people who came by our table, said hi and/or got a Review sketch. Since I switched to drawing my comics digitally back in 2006, I was a little out of practice using pen and ink. But I think most of the sketches came out well.
If WC11 was your first exposure to Comic Critics, let us know if you have any questions or comments. Now back to drawing funny things about the medium we all love.
