At least for me personally, it’s been a huge surprise that The CW has managed to take on the realm of DC Comics so well. We’ve seen comic representations fail hard on the small screen and big screen and on networks with hefty budgets, so we know that bringing well-loved action characters to life isn’t…
It came earlier than I had imagined it would: the execrable DC-wide tie-in issue. Grayson #3 is yet to be; this is the Grayson: Futures End one-shot. Staring at its cover, with Futures End emblazoned on the very top, and the big, white “#1” in the place of a “#3,” I found myself grimacing. Why couldn’t…
Retconning, a term often encountered by even the most casual of fans, is one of the most significant, game-changing ideas in the world of entertainment (comics, television, etc.), and yet most people don’t know it from the kind of clubs Tiger Woods uses on the golf course.

Dylan here. So listen, while we’re still celebrating the Veek of Blood here on SFB, we promised to keep some normal sci-fi pieces running. So yeah, don’t be alarmed by this review. Count Spatula is still at large and you can still submit your artwork to us. Enjoy. –The Editor It’s terrible of me, but I admit I…

Once more, I found myself mourning the fact that Spider-Man (Sony)…
If you’re already on the edge of your seat about Diana’s appearance in the upcoming Superman/Batman film, calm down. It’ll be okay. Probably. In the meantime, go grab your favorite snack and (re)watch the 2009 Wonder Woman by Warner Bros. Animation. It’s yet another origin story of Diana of Themyscira, but it’s refreshingly likable. It’s…
Spring is here and Summer is on its way—according to the calendar anyway. And that means only one thing: get ready for con season! Falling at the end of March, Emerald City Comicon may not be the very first convention of the year, but it seems to be the one to really kick off con…
