Unlike most angry internet fanboys, I was one of the few who actually genuinely liked the 2006 swoosh logo of DC Comics, and I’m really genuinely sad to see it go. Apparently, DC is applying for a trademark for their new logo, which shows the new bold direction DC Entertainment is going into.

And that new direction is bland as fuck. Is DC turning into a delivery service or something?

What do you guys think of the new logo?

Oh look, it’s me again, battling a fever so I can write up the blogosphere’s best (even though it’s a few days deleyed) comic book reviews!

Adventure Comics #5

I didn’t like Adventure Comics #4, for some reason. Maybe I was accustomed to Blackest Night tie-ins taking themselves too seriously that I totally got lost in the wacky fourth wall-breaking issue. (continue reading…)

Know what makes everything better? Zombies. Just look at Blackest Night. It’s the best event that DC has ever come up with (and we’re just past issue #1, folks!), and that’s saying a lot, since DC just finished Infinite Crisis, Sinestro Corps War, and Final Crisis (YES I LOVED FINAL CRISIS FUCK YOU HATERS).

You know what other things zombies can turn into something awesome? Jane Austen. I swear, if it wasn’t for Keira Knightley I would’ve dozed off to that Pride and Prejudice movie. What. It was a date.

Anyway, there was this little book called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies that came out a while back. I haven’t read it yet, but Lauren said that it was pretty fucking awesome. The thing is, it’s been ages since I’ve read something without pretty pictures in it (fuck you, comics!) so I haven’t picked up any book in ages.

Guess what: there’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel being developed right now. It’s going to be written by Tony Lee (X-Men, Spider-Man) and drawn by Cliff Richards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). So I really can’t wait for this so I can get my Victorian-era zombie-killing action. Seriously, zombies and ninjas and women in weird puffy dresses. You can’t go wrong with that.

Come on, tell me you’re not excited. Really now.
