DC Comics
NYCC: Robot Chicken
Many moons ago I came across a funny little stop-motion series called “Sweet J Presents”. A funny little spot of stop-motion animated toys involved in skits that rode the edges of pop-culture, random acts of violence, and kindergarten level fart jokes. Well, Sweet J grew up (sort of) and built a robot. Then that robot was attached to a chicken. Then it went back to business as usual, albeit with a bigger budget with which to buy more toys. Robot Chicken is now a phenomena unto itself with massive DVD sales of their Star Wars specials, the upcoming release of the new DC Comics special they did, and the newly announced resurrection of the show for a seventh season!!

Dave’s Time at NY Comic Con 2012
Where to begin? As soon as you step into the NY Comic Con, you are assaulted by the experiential overstimulation. Fortunately, I had a loose plan from the start. Continue reading

Comic Book Covers 10/10/2012
This week there was a large number of great covers released. I realized I would have a really hard time narrowing it down to my 3 favorite. Then I realized this is my article and I can do what I want. Besides, far be it for me to deprive you of some great comic book art.
Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan #2
Cover by Adam Hughes
Adam Hughes is mostly known for drawing pretty ladies, and doing it very well. His runs on books like Catwoman and Wonder Woman led to some really fantastic covers. Many of them are collected in the book “Cover Run: The DC Comics art of Adam Hughes”, which is well worth a purchase. It’s nice to see him work on a book focused on a male character, although he has been managing to sneak the ladies into the covers. I really like the classic feel of this cover, along with Silk Spectre’s perfectly positioned head.
Red She-Hulk #58
Variant Cover by Skottie Young
I should probably state that any week where there is a cover by Skottie Young, it has about a 95% chance of making this list. I absolutely love his work, especially when he’s drawing the baby version of characters. On top of that, this cover features Aaron Stack, also known as Machine Man. If you don’t know who he is, he’s a surly robot who likes beer. Check out Next Wave: Agents of H.A.T.E. by Warren Ellis in which he features prominently. You won’t be disappointed.
Uncanny Avengers #1
Variant Cover by Skottie Young
Variant Cover by Mark Brooks
I chose two different covers for Uncanny Avengers #1 because I liked them so much. As I previously mentioned Skottie Young baby characters get the thumbs up from me. The Deadpool cover I like because, well it’s Deadpool, and the stuff written on the board behind him makes me laugh.
Batman #13
Cover by Greg Capullo
Variant Cover by Greg Capullo
I also chose two covers for Batman 13, and I don’t think you can blame me. This month starts the story arc “Death of the Family”, and guess who’s back? Scott Snyder’s Batman is pretty easily one of the best books DC puts out, and one of the best on the shelves every month. Night of the Owls, the previous story arc, was a great read, and I’m really looking forward to this. If you’re a Batman fan you should really check it out.
