With this being the week of Superman, it seemed only natural that I give a little review of the newest DC Digital series Adventure of Superman.  The newest series in DC’s digital first series (Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman Beyond, and Smallville: Season 11 are a few of the others).  That means there are three […]

The Long Box: Who is YOUR Superman artist?

Posted: May 29, 2013 at 7:26 am   /   Comic Books, Local

Fourth ‘Man of Steel’ Trailer focuses on General Zod (Video)

Posted: May 24, 2013 at 2:23 pm   /   Comic Books, Film, Local

As I write this, I’m still in a euphoric state.  Not because I was finally able to get my hands on a few key issues and fill some major holes in my collection.  Not because I was able to get an amazing custom sketch from Chris Samnee.  Not because I was able to see a Q […]

Two New Superman Comics Set to Debut From DC Comics

Posted: March 13, 2013 at 9:44 am   /   Comic Books, Local

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a Superman fan through and through.  Action Comics Annual #1 was the first comic I ever bought, and I became a fan immediately.
