It’s just under 100 days away but it’s never to soon to get excited about the only comic book based holiday of the year. To serve that end, Diamond, the main distributor of our comic books, has teamed up with Free Comic Book Day and released some sneak peeks at a few of the upcoming books that are part of the First Saturday In May event! These books,...

I will apologize right now, as this was going to be Nicole’s article but due to an unprecedented trip up to Vancouver to see the sights and sounds while seeing the sets of Falling Skies, I had to fill in. Granted, you won’t have to worry about me writing too much about what I saw at the Red Carpet premiere for Vengeance, mostly because this is...

They seem to be sentimental at heart over at Bioware, as the demo for Mass Effect 3 embraces PC, XBox and PS3 on February 14. Let’s be honest – the ComicBooked team had to engage in a lover’s quarrel to snag the rights to review and preview this game. It was messy, folks. There were tears (Sorry, Jorgie!). Someone’s gaming heritage came...

In a move that I’m certain will shock absolutely no one in the gaming world, EA has announced that Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will be shipped with an online pass that unlocks the “House of Valor” faction quest line, which is comprised of seven in-game quests.   Destructoid caught wind of this when their review copy showed up with...

       If you live anywhere near or in Texas and you love Science Fiction then you do not want to miss the Sci-Fi expo because it’s chock full of starpower.         Fans of Dollhouse, Firefly, Angel, Stargate and Battlestar Galactica can meet some of their favorite stars from those and other shows during the upcoming Sci-Fi Expo on Feb. 11...

Nick Roche is brilliant. So is writer James Roberts, but more Nick. Okay, 50/50 – an even split! Not an objective opinion, I know – but warranted. It’s a shame ‘Robots In Disguise’ was released after this #1 issue, because reading *this* may give you high hopes for what the overall story can offer until you actually read *that*. Andrew...

Proving that Absolutely Anything is possible, the legendary Monty Python troupe is set to reunite for their first feature film together since 1983′s The Meaning of Life. Variety is reporting that surviving Python members John Cleese, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam will join Terry Jones for his sci-fi farce Absolutely Anything,  which is based on a...

Nintendo has announced that they are finally adopting a traditional web-based network they have so cleverly dubbed  The Nintendo Network.  The service is said to offer DLC, personal accounts for Wii U systems, and “communities” for Mario Kart 7. Let’s take a look at this.  Microsoft, with its XBOX Live service, has been serving over 40...

Darkseid is here and we start this issue with what looks like a full scale invasion. Darkseid and his forces devastate the area of arrival. Local law enforcement quickly over powered and most of the Justice League are already down for the count. The first to get back into the fight, the Flash and Superman. “Written by GEOFF JOHNS; Art and cover by JIM LEE...

  This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Chris Houghton, Co-creator of the bear-riding cowboy comic known as Reed Gunther. We shot the breeze and talked about working with family, the process behind making the comic, tips for Indie comic creators  and so much more! So saddle up cowpokes, you are in for a ride!   For those new to your work, tell...

The purpose of this editorial is not to pass judgement on the DCnU. I haven’t read enough of the new books to do that yet. I’ve only read Justice League and Superman so far and stopped reading them at issue three of each. I’ll get the hardcover editions when they come out. Through the collected editions is how I read my comics these days. I...

Good news, everyone!  It is my personal guarantee that this reboot of Spider-Man will be no worse than the Spider-Man movie involving the Sandman and the BP oil spill.  I can guarantee this because of the following:  there is no Topher Grace or Tobey Maguire (I have more respect for him off-screen because allegedly he has a pretty cool gambling circle that...

In the eighties when everything in the Marvel universe was new to me, I jumped around trying different titles. At the age of thirteen, I purchased as many new books as I could during my first shopping extravaganza. After placing a hefty stack on the counter at my first LCS, the books totaled $36 (not an exact amount) and I still had so much more money to spend....

How big are digital comics? Well, get this…comiXology, the number one retailer for digital comics on the iPhone, iPad, and Android OS has recently been selected to be one of the pre-loaded apps on Amazon’s Kindle Fire, right there next to Facebook and Twitter. Yes, folks. Digital comic books are as popular as the two most used social media platforms....

Every year, the South By Southwest Festival (SXSW) takes Texas by storm as most of the world’s premier technology companies converge on Austin to talk about an unveil the latest trends in the industry. This year, however, these technology companies will be joined by a giant in the comics industry. Marvel Entertainment will be joining the SXSW Interactive...

Here on our Comic Booked Throwback Thursday features, we normally go back and take a look at a single older or retro video game.  Since I don’t always like to play by the rules, I thought this week we would go way back and take a look at the Atari 2600 and some of the best games for that system.  To be honest, there wasn’t really much to most of...
