Well, the news is starting to trickle out about the third season of AMC’s smash hit The Walking Dead. Though the first two season have seen some significant deviations from the ongoing comic by Robert Kirkman, this doesn’t seem to have blunted fans’ enthusiasm for the show, as the producers continue to weave new stories in a familiar framework. This...
I’ll just get this out of the way up front. Since its debut over a year ago, Uncanny X-Force has on the whole been a consistently excellent book. From the chilling climax of its opening arc to the conclusion of writer Rick Remender’s epic Dark Angel Saga, the series has without a doubt proven itself a worthy successor to Kyle and Yost’s superlative run on...

DC made a splash at Chicago’s C2E2 with it’s All Access panel. With a lineup of speakers that included the likes of Bob Harras, Geoff Johns, J. Michael Straczynski and Scott Snyder, the stage was set for exactly the sort of impressive affair we’ve come to expect from these panels. Johns began by teasing DC’s Free Comic Book Day offering, describing it as...
Welcome to the final portion of Comic Booked’s interview with Dan Slott! Continuing from where we left off in the first part of the interview, Dan and I turn the focus of the discussion from his career to his solo work on Amazing Spider-Man… One of the first things you did when you took over the book full time was to kill off Roderick...
Well, it’s certainly been a big week for Felicia Day and the rest of the gang at Geek & Sundry! For those of you who somehow missed it (Shame on you!), April 2nd marked the debut of the hotly anticipated YouTube channel.

Blood and Chrome. Fans of SyFy’s seminal Battlestar Galactica revamp will surely be excited to see those words. First announced during the brief run of the Caprica prequel, Blood and Chrome has variously been described as everything from a TV movie to a web series. Despite the commencement of principle photography over a year ago, the project has...
It’s official, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is dead! Following a wave of online protests on Wednesday, including the unprecedented blackouts of websites ranging from Wikipedia to Imgur, Congress has wasted no time in backing away from a bill that was once being fast tracked. Yesterday, in the aftermath of the protests, SOPA’s support was already visibly...
“Everything,” if you prefer the flippant answer. And sadly, that’s not as far from the truth as we might like to believe. If you’re unfamiliar with SOPA (that’s the Stop Online Piracy Act), it’s a piece of anti-piracy legislation currently being debated in the House. You may have also heard it referred to by critics as the “American Censorship...
While at New York Comic Con last weekend, I was lucky enough to sit down with a number of creators to discuss their work both past and present.

On Friday afternoon, I met up...
