Spoilers suck. I find it consistently amazing how important spoiler-free integrity can be to popular art.
Take TV for example. I don’t watch Game of Thrones in the moment. No HBO subscription, and honestly I haven’t found a show that makes for a quicker, better, binge-watch DVD bull rush. Dexter comes close. But Game of Thrones is an easy first. [Read more…] about The Death of Odin – OR How Thor Becomes the Lord of Asgard

There are certain things that really shouldn’t happen. Elephants shouldn’t fly. Baseball players shouldn’t cry. Humans shouldn’t eat mushrooms willingly (it’s a fungus y’all, come on).
Perhaps more importantly than any of the above, Thor should NOT beat Thanos in a standalone knockdown dragout brouhaha. And of course that’s exactly what happens in Dan Jurgens and John Romita Jr’s early 2000’s Thor #21-#25. [Read more…] about That Time Thor Beat Up Thanos and Everyone Wept – Thor #21-#25 Review

I’m sitting in a library reading comic books. I have only recently graduated college, and I have found myself a job in marketing, and I don’t hate the job yet, but that will come just be patient.
Not you. You don’t need to be patient. I mean, it’s not terrible advice, depending on the context I suppose. For example, if you’re reading this instead of catching the last train out to your office, or instead of picking up your child from daycare, maybe be less patient? A little haste could improve things? I don’t want to be bossy though. The choice is yours. But you don’t need to be patient in regards to my disillusionment with my first job. That isn’t even a part of this story.
This story? Yes. This is the story of why I started Comic Book Herald, the blog you are reading now. It starts in the library, after work, as a grown adult. With comics. [Read more…] about Why I Created Comic Book Herald (Or: The CBH Story (Or: I Just Like the Comics Library Lady, I Swear))

It’s pretty easy to poke fun at DC Comics these days. The Big 2 comics publisher has really made some pretty public messes in 2013, and my personal DC pull-list has never been sparser (Batman, Wonder Woman & Animal Man, with Wonder Woman solidly on the chopping block).
Nontheless, the more I think about it, the better I feel about DC’s “Digital First” comic book strategy. I don’t usually attribute digital savvy to DC, but their experiments with a digital schedule might mean more for comics than anyone is letting on. [Read more…] about DC’s Doing Digital Right!
