GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGEND OF THE GREEN FLAME
by Jason Henderson (Wed 11-22-2000)
The genius of Neil Gaiman lies in his freshness of vision, in the beauty and cleverness he coaxes out of everyday comics subjects. In Green Lantern/Superman: Legend of the Green Flame, Gaiman shows us what it would be like to tag along with the titular he... JLA #115
by Kurt Amacker (Wed 06-15-2005)
I really must recant the cynical estimation I made last year. In my review of the final issue of IDENTITY CRISIS, I surmised that Sue Dibney's murder, Batman's mind-wipe, and the obvious effort to humanize the DC Universe wouldn't resonate much and that ...

John Stewart's career as a Green Lantern ended with the death of Oa, but his career as a hero ended when Grayven crushed his spine. Now that Kyle Raynor has the almost godlike power of Ion, however, such an injury is a minor thing to fix?and yet John stil... Comicscape - October 13, 2004

I Talked with a Zombie: Mark Kidwell on ‘68
by Kurt Amacker (Wed 01-10-2007)
Everyone loves zombies. They scare the hell out of you. They serve as a perfect metaphor for, well, “us.” And, best of all, they eat people. With those sterling qualities, I see very little not to like about our lumb... Comicscape - September 8, 2004

Greetings, Maniacs, and welcome to another calamitous edition of Comicscape! San Diego Comic Con wrapped on Sunday night after hosting over 125,000 attendees and selling out the Convention Center. I stayed home this year, rather than brave the c... Comicscape - December 1, 2004

Tony's out this week, so I'm doing Comicscape in addition to my usual review. Obviously, I'm not going to answer Tony's letters and deal with the question he posed in the last two columns on the wisdom of making heroes into villains, respect (or lack the... Comicscape - January 25, 2006

Last week's admittedly meandering column about sex and women in popular comics didn't garner much mail, but it lit the comment section on fire. I thought that a column about everybody's favorite subject (or at least mine and Al's) would at least get me a ... THE FLASH #214

Comicscape: The Kirkman vs. Bendis Steel Cage Match
by Kurt Amacker (Wed 10-01-2008)

The summer doldrums appear to have gotten an extension this year, if this September's offering of titles is anything to go by. Not only do we have the usual mutant madness at Marvel, there's an "event" in which Bill Jemas reimagines the DC Universe (thoug... Comicscape - June 25, 2003

While Marvel has just begun to do major updates of its lesser characters through its Ultimates and MAX lines, DC has been at it for a little longer, bringing back characters like the Sandman and the Elongated Man in their Vertigo line and making those cha... Comicscape - October 15, 2003

OPINIONWhatever else you might say about the experience, reading CAPTAIN MARVEL for the past thirteen months has never been boring. Ever since the relaunch of the book last September as part of Marvel's lameduck "U Decide!" promotion, Peter David has take... Comicscape - May 4, 2005

First, an apology: whereas I intended to run a reader response column to last week's COMICSCAPE about comics in the classroom, I've decided to run an original column instead. I only received a handful of letters and while all were original and several lea... DC Goes to the Movies (or Doesn’t)

Last week's mixed-bag review of X-MEN: THE LAST STAND generated a small truckload of mail. The reactions ranged from complete agreement with my review, to total disagreement from fans that thought the film met or exceeded the previous two. Regardless, t... JSA #32

Don't let that Norman Rockwell-based cover or the blurb from WIZARD MAGAZINE bombastically declaring this "Best Comic, 2001" put you off?JSA #32 is exactly where you need to start if you want to test those Golden Age waters. If you're already a fan, then ... Monsters Unleashed!
