The Bodhisattva

Earlier todayover at BookSpotCentral I put up my review of G.I. Joe#0, an early look at at an issue that contains three stories that each offer a teaser for the three titles IDW will be publishing in 2009.
GO CHECK OUT MY REVIEW!
The three titles will be G.I. Joe (Chuck Dixon and Robert Atkins), G.I. Joe: Origins [...]

In a previous post I commented on a recent pick-up and my appreciation for Silver Age DC Grey/Wash tone covers and I just got another of my favorites today.

This Green Lantern#8 (1961) It’s also the first 5700 A.D. cover/story! Nowhere near the highest graded but a solid mid-grade with white pages that has a sweet [...]

Today I was able to grab  a comic  that’s on my constant want list:

Now you can do a search for this book and there are a couple of copies on ebay in various conditions and a couple at Metropolis Comics as well and you’ll notice none of them are really in high grade. Some of [...]

I bought this some time ago but I finally got it in the post today. Some people may know I’m a huge fan of Dave Lapham and a huge fan of VALIANT in general and this is the original art from a page in Harbinger#1 (penciled by Lapham). You know how Super Hero teams - [...]

If you gravitate to comic communities I participate in this is where the broken record starts - I loved Final Crisis#1 and one of the main reasons I’m glad Heidi MacDonald is reporting that Dan Didio is getting an extension (after a really silly internet-spawned attempt at a Shellian neighborhood watch meeting with people a [...]

Some may know I’m a bit of a comic art enthusiast, I both read these things and like purchasing the original art. I ran across some color-guides recently (which aren’t strictly OA, but in books of this era and older they are at times what are colored upon in the process of making the pages). [...]
