Sunday marked the debut of the NY Times Bestseller list for “graphic books”. We here in the real world know them as “graphic novels”. Superman: Braniac comes in just behind Watchmen.

In the world of comics, and especially Superman fanatics like me, this is the freaking holy grail.
A rare copy of the first comic book featuring Superman has sold for $317,200 in an Internet auction. The previous owner of Action Comics No. 1 bought it for less than a buck.
It’s one of the highest prices ever [...]
Watchmen Movie Review
March 8th, 2009
23 Comments
Watchmen completely succeeds as a loving adaptation of a classic comic, but it comes up short as a movie.
Up until the current mini-renaissance in comic book films, the result of a comic adaptation was hit or miss. For every Superman or Superman 2, there were quite a few films like Supergirl, Ghost Rider, etc. [...]

Now of course Fathom is better known for the late Michael Turner’s “good girl” art than anything else, but it could be interesting…
Fox would play Aspen Matthews, who was found abandoned on a ship and is adopted by a military man. She becomes a champion swimmer and marine biologist who comes of age realizing she [...]

Seriously. Youngblood?
Reliance inked a development deal with Ratner’s shingle Rat Entertainment, as well as Julia Roberts’ Red Om Films, during the Berlin film fest.
The company paid mid six figures for the rights to ‘Youngblood,’ about a superhero team sanctioned and overseen by the U.S. government.
I concede I was part of the problem in the ’90s. [...]

Hopefully they’ll have Geoff Johns as some sort of creative consultant. He’s got me reading GL for the first time.
Warner Bros. is negotiating with Martin Campbell to direct ‘Green Lantern,’ the live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.
Campbell last directed ‘Casino Royale’ and recently wrapped the Mel Gibson starrer ‘Edge of Darkness,’ based on [...]

I’ve been reading and collecting comic books for maybe 25 years now. I’m almost exclusively a DC reader and especially since I’m a Superman fanatic, I have been a devotee of their big Crisis-style crossovers. Final Crisis is the first one of them I’ve ever quit reading before it ends because I frankly [...]

Savefarris first noted this awesome yesterday.
The president-elect is featured on an upcoming issue of Spiderman, which will be released January 14. While it’s not the first time a President has been featured in a Marvel comic, it’s the first time a president-elect has graced the cover. Marvel Comics is giving a tribute to the future [...]

I haven’t purchased the New Krypton story in Superman yet (I’ll probably just buy the trade if DC gets it out in a timely manner) but apparently they’re showing that Krypton wasn’t just for white guys.
For the character’s first 30 years, Superman’s homeworld of Krypton was all-white. It was only in 1971 —33 years after [...]

Mostly stupid but I like that Jerry O’Connell indulges in the same kind of stupidity I would if I were married to Rebecca Romijn. I understand that Teri Hatcher and Erica Durance are still open to playing Lois… (Kate Bosworth? Eh…)
