Oldest Superman Cover Design snags a cool $280,000+ at auction
Action Comics #15 cover design? Mad money! By God there’s gold in them there comic book boxes! Provided, you know. That you’re a ding-dong of the highest order and you’re keeping comic books from 1939 in a regular old comic box. Right?
GEOFF JOHNS + JOHN ROMITA JR. = next ‘SUPERMAN’ creative team
It’s been rumored! Announced! Confirmed. John Romita Jr. and Geoff Johns will be the creative team on Superman. This does absolutely nothing for me, and in fact the presence of Johns’ means I’m actively disinterested. Does this mean I’ll skip their debut issue? Of course not. Well played, DC. You clever fuckers.
IDRIS ELBA. DRESSED AS SUPERMAN. DJING.
Here is your moment of life-affirming zen. Just Idris Elba, ostensibly the coolest dude in the world, hanging out as Superman. Spinning some vinyl. Shitting on all of our lives. Shout out to The Mary Sue for the find.
DC wins the FINAL APPEAL in the case of SUPERMAN RIGHTS
It appears that DC is inching closer (if they haven’t closed the case already) towards completely subsuming the Superman rights into their bulging corpus. Latest in a long line of appeals and whatever stuff has ruled in favor of The Man.
‘THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN LIVES’ Trailer: Documenting Burton’s Barf?
How the fuck did I miss (or forget?) that there was a documentary being made about Tim Burton’s failed Superman project? Too much to contain within the rotting mush between my ears. Anyhoo — the trailer for the documentary has arrived (from Krypton? LOLIHATEMYSELF), and it looks pretty fucking awesome.
PLAY: ‘MASS MURDERER OF STEEL’ is amusing web browser critique of new Supes movie.
Whether you enjoyed Man of Steel or not, one thing is evident. Zod and Kal-El beat the living shit out of Metropolis. Obviously though, right? I mean how else to evoke 9/11 Imagery without some uttered destruction? Kyler Baker has issued a browser game turned film critique that allows you to bash in the Super City yourself.
It’s dope.
‘MAN OF STEEL’ SEQUEL getting SUPER (LOL) FAST TRACKED. Snyder and Goyer writing.
This has to be good news regarding the initial buzz surrounding Man of Steel. Despite not dropping for a few more days, the son of a bitch is already in line for a sequel.
SUPERMAN’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO is A LOGO.
DC has got itself a logo for Super-guy’s 75th anniversary. The logo itself isn’t really wonderful, but hey. At least it isn’t so garish that it makes my eyes bleed.
COPY OF ‘ACTION COMICS’ #1 found in the F**KING WALL OF OLD HOUSE. Worth more than said house.
This is a hell of a tale. A copy of Action Comics #1 was found in an old as fuck house, is worth more than the house, and was partially destroyed by in-laws. This one has it all folks.
