The release date of Batman: Arkham City has been announced for October 18th and I am still geeking out over the trailer. There are several dozen to check out, but this is my personal favorite. Who doesn't love a creepy clown?
Vertigo comics just released a collection of issues #1-5 of American Vampire, written by . . . drum roll please . . . STEPHEN KING and SCOTT SNYDER. Get excited. These aren't the pansy wansy vampires of Twilight "lore", these are the cunning, conniving, and downright frightening monsters that made Bram Stoker turn on his nightlight.
I found an interesting article on the art and design of creating a cover on the dccomics.com site. To anyone interested in seeing some of the design behind the cover, check out this link.
Comic book of the Week: My personal, all-time-favorite-graphic-novel-ever would have to be "Kingdom Come" written by Mark Waid and watercolor artwork by Alex Ross. Batman in an exoskeleton, Superman living like a hermit with grey hairs, and the world gone completely nuts with supergoodies who are acting like superbaddies. Oh, and Kansas gets blown up. I highly recommend this, if just for the art because it is exquisite.
You're kind of all over the place with this post Nan, making it hard to follow. It would have been better to focus only on the new Batman game and talk about it. I do like your writing style.
