Agent 47 makes his way to the printed page again in Hitman: Damnation
I’ve always thought that the Hitman series of video games would lend themselves well to novelization. The aspects of patience, detail, and attention in Hitman would make for great suspense on the page. Apparently I wasn’t alone in this thought, since 2007 saw the release of a Hitman novel, Hitman: Enemy Within. Enemy Within took place between the events of the Hitman video game series...[Read More]
Marvel announces Ultimate Spider-Man Adventures and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Adventures
One of the things I was happy about when hearing that Disney bought Marvel was the massive media empire that some of my favorite superheroes were now part of. And since DC has a monopoly on Cartoon Network (due to being owned by the same company, Warner Bros.), I was waiting for some new blood to appear on Disney’s major channel Disney XD. With this new press release, Marvel is planning to e...[Read More]
DC Universe Reboots This September
You know, they say that “one” is the loneliest number. What if it’s surround by a plethora of “one”s? (Do you even know what a plethora is?) DC Comics must think that “one” can be…de-lonelyized…so instead of launching one new series, they’ve decided to reboot their entire Universe, starting over 50 titles at issue #1.

Assassin’s Creed: The Fall
As a fan of Assassin’s Creed, I can’t believe that I had no idea that a comic was coming out. I guess it’s partially due to the fact that I’m waiting impatiently for AC: Brotherhood to come out on November 16th. However, 6 days before that on the 10th, fans of the games can sink their teeth into the first of a new three issue series that takes place in in Russia.
Superman Starts Over On Earth One
In this new series of graphic novels, the Earth One line is going to “Ultimatize” the DC universe like Marvel did in their Ultimate line with a new and modern take on their characters. First up: Superman as written by J. Michael Straczynski and as drawn by Shane Davis.
Am I Dreaming? A Sandman Series Is In The Works?

Democrat Senator Says Comic Books Are For Stupid People
In a move to help make sure teachers in Maryland keep their jobs (and of course scare up some votes for her reelection campaign), Senator Nancy King is running an ad showing what would happen if kids were left teacherless.
