The Young Veins keep it light and nostalgic
What Paul Simon is to Vampire Weekend, The Beatles are to The Young Veins. On their debut Take A Vacation! the band serves as a throwback machine that incessantly pumps out song after song of fun and catchy retro-pop in the same — well — vein of the music that made the Fab Four famous in the 60s.

REVIEW: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Review
Spider-Men of the Multiverse, unite! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about this game. I love my Spider-Man comics and cartoons, and even the first two movies. What excited me, and still excites me, about Shattered Dimensions is that you get to play as four distinct Spider-Men: Amazing, Ultimate (in the black suit), Noir, and 2099. Many players might have never heard of those last two ...

Chaos War #2 Review
Do you like your events big? Do you like them to be Godlike in scale? Then Chaos War is for you. While other events and miniseries have threatened the entire world and the fate of the Marvel Universe as we know it, Chaos War has upped the ante and created a problem that looks impossible for even the strongest gods.

Superman's Debut Comic Book Sells for $1 Million
A 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1, widely considered the Holy Grail of comic books, was sold by a private seller to a private buyer, neither of whom released their names.

Well the announcement came in this week about the new leadership for DC Comics, one of The Big Two in the comic world. With the departure of Paul Levitz as President and Publisher back in September of 2009, there has been speculation as to whom would pick up the slack. These people would be directing the course of the newly formed DC Entertainment, commissioned to not only run DC Comics, but also to bring DC properties to more avenues and media forms, much in the way Marvel has done.

The results have Dan Didio and Jim Lee working as Co-Publishers, and Geoff Johns as Chief Creative Officer. Didio was a fair shoe in as even though some might disagree with his decisions, he has helped shape DC and reclaim some of the ground they lost to Marvel in recent years. Lee was surprising, but totally makes sense given his pioneering work with Image and Wildstorm, and the recent creative directorial role he took with the DC Online game. Johns is perhaps the most surprising, but with is creative work in film, television, and as the chief writer for DC Online, it makes a lot of sense.

I think in the long run, Johns will have the most to prove and it will be interesting to see what he creatively officiates. It will also be interesting to see where DC Entertainment goes, but if this latest rash of DC movies and DVD's are an indication of where things are going, I am very much in favor of DC Entertainment spreading the DC love to as many areas as possible.

New DC Leadership Announced originally appeared on About.com Comic Books on Saturday, February 20th, 2010 at 00:27:47.

image comics vs dc comics?

idk

Really good question K. Being as there are far more DC characters than there are Image characters I think this battle should be narrowed down a bit. Make the sides even. Otherwise Image will be completely overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. Try taking the core, most iconic characters from the Image universe and match them up against an equally numbered group of DC's finest. Even though with Image that can be rather unpredictable given the state of how Image characters are pulled to other publishers by their creators. But, for now, I have to choose DC Comics as the winners.
