Sunday Links for January 29th

Den of Geek writer Andrew Blarr proposed an interesting thought:  Is the biggest threat to Doctor Who their fans?  Not sure I agree with all of his points but some are intriguing.

Just like last week's DC announcement, Oni Press reveled their new logo.  What are your thoughts about this?  And who do you think will be next?

Archie Comics is on the verge of destruction with the latest battle in their ongoing court case.  Co-CEO Nancy Silberkleit has been ordered again to stay away from the company and employees while the control of her shares is being decided.  I truly hope that Archie and the gang survive this.

Never thought this would happen, but Polish politicians donned Fawkes' masks to protest the government's actions.  It's definitely an awesome sight to see.

Until next week......

Sunday Links for June 5

The comics world was rocked this week with the news that DC would be updating and restarting all of their superheros in the DCU.  Every site out there went crazed with coverage and opnions, including us.

Because of the DC boat-rocking, The Beat put together a comprehensive list of how DC crisis events have changed the universe and affected us all.  At the very least, it is a great way to catch up before it all changes again.

The gang in Riverdale becomes more and more with the times as they cover gays in the military in a very positive light.  Good for them!

In getting ready for X-Men: First Class (which is totally awesome even though they screwed up the timeline way too much), Mike Romo from iFanboy writes about how he never connected with the X-Men because they were a grown-up comic.  In other movie news, if you are totally behind on the new releases, Action Chick just released her top picks of June.

Sunday Links for April 3

This past week seemed to be an angry one, with news of fights happening all over the web.


At Megacon last weekend, Comic Grifter Rob Granito got "shutdown" by industry staples Mark Waid and Ethan Van Sciver. Apparently, Granito has been copying art and selling it as originals at various cons for years. He finally went too far when he claimed a relationship with recently passed Dwayne McDuffie. Since this incident, many cons have banned him from attending.


High fives to Mark Waid and Ethan Van Sciver for getting rid of this guy!


Over at Twitter, Ron Marz and the official Bluewater Comics account went at it, bashing each other with wild abandon. Marz commented on the new Ayn Rand comic from Bluewater and it went from there. It just bothers me that the company is commenting like this from their official account.


Zynga is taking a beating from fans for their newest Farmville expansion, English Countryside. Players are mad because you can't play both farms at the same time, and F:EC is much harder to get started in. As a former Farmville player, I just have to say that Zynga is a little greedy but the fans can be overly demanding for a free game.


Fans have been going back and forth about the upcoming Wonder Woman show, and specifically the constant costume changes. Our own Wysefyre wrote her opinion about the costume and Geek to Me's Elliott Serrano had a very detailed debate about the show and costume with Meg White of the PrincessCast.


In happier news, Archie Comics finally introduced us to Kevin Keller, the first openly gay character to move to Riverdale. With his arrival, we will see if LGBT characters will appear more frequently in other universes.


Den of Geek writes a very persuasive argument about why Warner Bros. should reboot Batman after Christopher Nolan finishes his trilogy. He has a lot of great points and makes me more comfortable with the idea.


In the absolutely pointless news category, I found an article called "Robert De Niro has a Coke on the set of ‘Another Night’ In Brooklyn." No reaction from Pepsi yet on this devastating turn of events.
