Posted on by

DC Comics recently announced a new Supergirl statue that’s part of a new line of 10-11″ statues called “Bombshells”.

DC COMICS BOMBSHELLS

DC Collectibles is proud to announce the launch of a brand new line of statues inspired by the pin-ups of the 1940s and 1950s. Who better to blast off this newest line than two of DC’s most powerful heroines? Featuring fashion from the 40’s and 50’s, DC Collectibles has captured the “can do” attitude of the era!

Superman Adventures, Batman Adventures and Justice League Unlimited in Digital Comics

Posted on by
Superman Adventures #21 Superman Adventures #39 Superman Adventures #52

Did you know? The out of print Superman Adventures, Justice League Unlimited, and various Batman Adventures books based on the animated TV series are available digitally through Comixology/DC Digital Comics. Sweet!

Here is the list of issues featuring Supergirl. I’ve picked up a few of these over the years and they really are quite fun. At 99 cents this is a great way to pick up some comics from the more friendly and iconic side of the DCU. I’m so glad that these series are now available to share with another generation.

Maid of Might Comics Updates

Posted on by

The Supergirl Project site recently expanded to include comics scans from the ’60s-80s. I’m loving how great the old Silver and Bronze Age issues look on my Nexus 7 tablet. I understand now the enthusiasm about reading comics on tablets – even a 7-inch is a better experience than on PC. Here’s hoping DC gets more of their back catalog on Comixology soon.

The Maid of Might Comics pages have received some major updates recently. The Silver Age Supergirl page finally has a complete listing (it’s huge!) of all Supergirl appearances by publication date, and new pages have been opened for Superman Family Adventures and the Ame-Comi Girls (Digital)

I’m working on adding issue data for New 52 Supergirl and Power Girl. The only New 52 I’ve read is the first trade of Supergirl. I’m not interested in the new universe and will likely not read other New 52 books until it’s reached the point of being “historical”, in the same way I can read the more lousy Post-Crisis stuff with the distance of time.

Lastly, the “About”, “Supergirl” and “Power Girl” pages have been merged into “About Supergirl” and “Comics”. No content was removed, just a bit of restructuring to simplify navigation. Reducing the number of top-level menu items also fixed an issue on some mobile devices where the last few links in the menu wouldn’t load.

Final “Superman Family Adventures” issue ships April 2013

This wonderful series is coming to a close with SFA #12 on April 24, 2013. Covers for upcoming issues and bonus images from the DC Comics blog have been posted to the gallery.

What’s next for creators Art Baltazar and Franco? A Kickstarter project called Ah Yeah Comics! – which has already doubled its goal as of writing –

AW YEAH COMICS! will be a new all-reader friendly comic book featuring characters created by Eisner and Harvey award winning cartoonists Art Baltazar and Franco. Though centered around Action Cat and Adventure Bug, AW YEAH COMICS! will have a whole cast of characters created just for this title.

We’ve a long list of talented contributors on board and plan to mix stories by established creators with those of up and comers. Accessible to adults and children alike, our hope is to present a comic book that has just as much to offer a little girl as it does a little boy, and leave absolutely no one out of the fun.

Because fun is important. Fun is a good thing for a comic book to have, and we want to add a little bit more of it to what’s out there now.

“Superman: Unbound” Trailer Screencaps

Posted on by

I’ve screencapped the trailer and you can now view all 131 caps in the gallery. I was delighted to see some shots that you miss while viewing the video. (I used aTube Catcher to download the MP4 from YouTube and VLC for screencapping.)

The more I watch this, the more excited I’m becoming. Kara’s look is growing on me – I like it better than in the Superman: Brainiac comic, and I’ve even gotten used to Superman’s look. Maybe they were modelling him a bit after the V.A.? I found Matt Bomer’s voice to be a distraction at first, as I couldn’t help picturing Neal Caffrey every time Superman spoke, but it’s growing on me.

A release date of May 7, 2013 has now been announced. I think I’ll be getting the blu-ray just for all the behind the scenes goodness. Here’s hoping for a good audio commentary (I may have been spoiled by the fantastic commentaries on Justice League: The New Frontier). Can’t wait!
