We love a good dragon story.

This fantasy debut from author Erin Swan, Bright

Happy Comic-Con Eve, all! I had a whole “‘Twas the night before Comic Con” bit lined up, but APPARENTLY it’s considered a faux pas to reveal the location of the annual SDCC post-Eisners key party on the internet, so you’ll have to just hang out here for a while as we pick over the list
We’ve got a rule ’round the old Den. It’s a simple one, easy to remember: If Denys Cowan is drawing something, buy it. If Bill Sienkiewicz is inking him, buy an extra copy. It doesn’t matter if it’s Deathstroke. Or a crossover that is ridiculous on its face, like Hong Kong Phooey/Black Lightning. Or even a
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. A Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s breakout hit The Sandman is on the way to the delight of goths and geeks alike. But what is The Sandman, and why is this comic book series such a big deal? If you’re new to the DC Universe’s most miserable cosmic entity,
Sewing is a bit arcane for people, like myself, who aren’t particularly good at it. I can sew badges onto a Girl Scout uniform and hem pants if pressed, but create a whole new article of clothing? It’s beyond me. There are plenty of wizards in my social circle who have this skillset, and it
Call it a match made in hell: legendary horror filmmaker John Carpenter is co-writing a new Joker one-shot with his Big Trouble in Little China comic book collaborator Anthony Burch (Borderlands 2). The 40-page book is titled The Joker: Year of the Villain #1, a tie-in to the big, baddie-centric DC crossover event coming out
The Boys will unleash an unapologetically ultraviolent response to the entertainment industry’s seemingly interminable array of live-action superhero fare with a TV series created by Supernatural and Timeless‘s Eric Kripke, adapting the bleak comic book series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Yet, with news arriving of an addition to the cast of the series,
Earlier this year, prolific comic book writer Brian K. Vaughan struck a deal with Legendary Entertainment to adapt some of his comic IP. Now the first project from that deal has been announced.

This Robotech article contains minor spoilers up to issue 22 of the Robotech Titan Comics’ series.

The epistolary novel—that is, a story told through letters—dates back all the way to the 1400s in the earliest versions of the form, counting Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as famous examples. But what about the first time travel narrative told through correspondence? Could it have begun with
I know we’ve talked about it before, but the best part of the Unity Saga, Brian Michael Bendis and team’s first big Superman story (that really started back in Man of Steel but who’s nitpicking), is how it’s knitting together DC’s big, weird, crazy space stuff. Something I’ve found really surprising since DC Universe hugely
Imagine for a moment that the money to be made from superhero movies and the associated merchandising went not only to the big studios but also to the heroes themselves. Not to actors playing the powered individuals but the actual caped crusaders and costumed crimefighters who lived in real life. Would their vigilante justice take

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers for the comic series. The Walking Dead is over. It seems strange to type that but it’s true all the same.
