Not to be confused with Ursher, Richard Corben’s adaptation of the classic short story The Fall Of The House Of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe is, thus far, the bee’s knees. Another gem minted out by Dark Horse Comics, this book delivers dread, mystery and more than a few corpses littered about the decaying Usher [...]
Tiny reviews of massive comics, put them in your face. (Also, you may notice that Mr Driscoll does a little showing off and hits us with some 1 Tweet poetry, check out his Twitter, every single one of his Tweets is like this, maybe) Supergirl #20 – Power Girl Guest stars.The boob window returning, [...]
Written and Drawn by: Erik Evensen, Letters by Matt Talbot, and Colors by Jeff Fugelsang Erik created a serene little town. An out-of-the-way, woodsy town, that you can find all over America. It reminds me a lot of Upper Peninsula Michigan or other seaside towns along the Great Lakes. Hart College is the focal point [...]
“Some believe there may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive…” I was excited to see that Dynamite was bringing back the original Battlestar Galactica universe. As cheesy and silly as the original series was, it was after all a groundbreaking series in many areas, mainly special effects. With kids [...]
Marc Guggenheim, producer of the CW series Arrow, confirmed to TV Guide that a Ferris Air jet, complete with the logo from the 2011 Green Lantern film, would appear in the season finale. As most DC fans will tell you, Ferris Air is the employer of Hal Jordan, long time member of the Green Lantern [...]
Wednesday afternoon is usually a busy time for Astrokitty Comics & More located in the midst of downtown Lawrence, KS. However, this Wednesday, also known as New Comic Book Day for a significant portion of the Earth’s population, was especially hopping (and radical) because of the addition of a signing event held by the creative [...]
IDW, otherwise known as Idea and Design Works, is growing again. As I reported on April 30th, in an article entitled IDW Joins The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Team, IDW is trying to make 2013 a banner year for the company. Just weeks after joining the CBLDF, the reported #4 U.S. comic book publisher, [...]
Have you ever had a dream so vivid you had a hard time distinguishing reality from the dream? How would you know? Where do we draw the line between the waking world and the dream world? Are we even awake? And what if your dreams were more than a mish-mashed construction of your subconscious? What [...]
Two women who share a face either stand together or die together, the final chapter starts of a fan-favorite amateur, a world changing decision is made, another world changing decision is made, and almost assuredly no decision is made. No, this isn’t the breakdown of what’s going on next season on American Idol; we’ve gone through this week’s comic releases [...]
In our increasingly mass media world, everything needs a tie-in. Having seen Iron Man 3 this past weekend, I can’t begin to explain the vast amount of corporate tie-ins that appeared in that one movie, let alone in just one scene. I have in the past may have ranted a bit about how corporate owners [...]
She’s baaaack. The irreverent, obnoxious, ultimate contemporary female comic book anti-hero and cultural icon, Tank Girl has returned. And she’s brought her favorite friends along for the fun, Jet Girl, Booga, and Barney in Tank Girl: Solid State. If you aren’t familiar with Tank Girl, or only know her from that love it or hate it [...]
In recent interviews Kevin Feige, President of Production at Marvel Studios, has been talking about Doctor Strange, The Master of the Mystic Arts.

Nerd Byte: J.J. Abrams recently announced that John Williams, who composed the music for all six previous Star Wars Movies will do the same for Episode VII. Williams also composed the music for such classics as Superman, Jaws, the Indiana Jones films, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln, and the first three Harry Potter films. As you can tell from this list, Williams is [...]
In a first issue of a new ongoing comic series, you would assume that the main aim would be to introduce the titular character to the readers. This could be further from the truth in X #1. The violent vigilante himself is hardly featured in this first issue and the story is all the better [...]
The underlying theme of Supurbia has always been that the book is more about the battles going on within the lives of the superheroes and their families than it is about the actual battles they fight. Granted, there are a lot of amazing fight sequences in this book, the opening sequence of Batu and Aso’s [...]
After the events of Death of the Family, the dynamic duo of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo brings us a simple story involving one of Batman’s most persistent enemies, Clayface. While nothing really new has been brought to the table as far as the villain is concerned, it’s actually the fallout of Bruce’s recent loss [...]
Arrow, the television series based on the Green Arrow character from DC Comics is nearing the end of its first season and is officially the network’s #1 show! Not surprising, the show is actually pretty good. Creators Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg have woven a tale about an every-man hero in a dark and dangerous [...]
About two months ago at PaleyFest, Arrow executive producer Andrew Kreisberg was asked which characters from DC Comics’ roster of heroes he’d like to see on the show. Almost immediately, Kreisberg answered: “Dick Grayson and Nightwing were always my favorite. I doubt we’ll ever get to that point. The bat-universe will never coincide with ours, but Nightwing [...]
Earth 2 will be getting a new Batman, but who will don the cape and cowl and carry the mantle of the Dark Knight? Everyone is being very hush-hush, of course, but that is not going to stop Bat-Fans or Earth 2 fans from speculating. James Robinson has been slow-playing the readers for months. [...]
Last Wednesday, Iron Man got a gender swapped 1920′s makeover here at Word of the Nerd. It was quickly decided that Black Widow would be next in line for a makeover. Her black motif with red accents took on a life of their own, as it became apparent that this would be a punk rock [...]
