Aww hell, that is one of my favorite titles.  What are they THINKING???

NEWSARAMA.COM: WONDER CON ‘07 - DC NATION PANEL

Green Arrow
will end with #75, Winick said, adding that the very last page of the
issue features Oliver Queen offering an engagement ring to Black
Canary. With that issue, Winick said, he’ll be off the series and
character.

Didio said that the repercussions of the engagement will be felt throughout Countdown and the DCU, and when prodded, Wayne said that there will most likely be a miniseries spin out of the end of the series.

Winick said that “repercussions” seen will involve other heroes throughout the DCU weighing in on the engagement.

The Quick and The Read #1: Fast comic reviews for the blogger on the go

OK, I have been really trying to put some “content” on this blog, but usually a few of things keep me from doing that.

  1. I’m pretty damn lazy
  2. When I write, I am “long winded” and write something that is close to a novel.

Now writing for WindowsSecrets.com has certainly helped with that, since I have deadlines to meet and I am forced to write something or I don’t get paid, plus what I write has to be brief.

With that in mind, here is my first attempt to do regular comic reviews on this blog by writing something about every comic I have read. These will be short and to the point, saving the more lengthy reviews for the extremely exceptional/craptastic stuff.

That’s it, enough lead in. On to the reviews.

Ion #10: Huh??

Ion #11: Seriously Marz, I have really been enjoying this series, but you are all over the place. I feel like I have walked in the middle of a season of “Lost”. This had all better make sense in the last issue or I am going to be pissed.

Astro City: The Dark Age - Book Two: Busiek, you are a genius, really you are. I love Astro City, it is really great stuff. Those people that think comics are stupid should be forced to read every Astro City comic. I just wish AC came out more often. Hint, hint ;-)

Invincible #37: We all know how much I love this comic, and this one was no exception. However, was it just me or was there a kind of underlining “ewwwww” factor in this issue? If you know what I am talking about, let us know in the comments.

Invincible #38: This issue was great too, a lot of stuff was covered that needed to be resolved. Mark and Eve kiss and its ABOUT FRAKING TIME. I hate that “unrequited love” crap. Mostly because my high school years were full of it. (Those chicks know who they are.)

OK, that is it for the first installment. Until next time!!

Atomic Avenue now live!!

Here is the scoop from Peter Bickford.

Hi everyone, 

A little earlier tonight, we just pushed out what may be the most important update in ComicBase history.

If you’re running ComicBase 10 or 11 and use your “Check for Updates” command, you’ll see that there’s a new version of the program available. It’s got a fairly humble name, (either “ComicBase 10.1” or “ComicBase 11.1” depending on your version of ComicBase), but what it does is nothing short of incredible. 

Thanks to ComicBase’s new “Sell” command, and a brand new web site we’re launching today, known as Atomic Avenue, every ComicBase user now has the ability to instantly create his or her own online store. With just a couple of clicks you can now post any number of comics for sale—even thousands of comics at once— at the prices you’ve specified, to a vast marketplace accessible by millions of people. There are no listing fees, and you only pay a small commission when an item is sold. 

In addition, whether you’re a ComicBase customer or not, Atomic Avenue offers you the chance to finally locate those hard-to-find issues you’ve been searching for. Whether it’s that elusive copy of 52 #1, Crisis on Infinite Earths #9, or even The A-Team #1 you’ll be able to find what you’ve been looking for from one of the world’s largest collections of comics (with thousands added every day!). Best of all, you can just order your comics and have them arrive a few days later. There’s none of drama and uncertainty so often found with online auction sites. 

Atomic Avenue lets you get the comics you want, at the prices you want, without any hassle.

To read more about Atomic Avenue, check out our full introduction to the system—or just head on over to www.atomicavenue.com and have a look around. We’ll also be demonstrating Atomic Avenue live all weekend long at Wondercon in San Francisco’s Moscone Center. 

We think Atomic Avenue is going to revolutionize the way comics are bought and sold, and we’re proud to invite you to be the first to see it in action. 

All the best,

-Pete
