There’s plenty of news worth commenting on straight out of Wizard World Chicago as the Summer’s con season truly gets going, including reflections on the unfortunate passing of Mike Turner, Ghost Rider news (seriously), the near-mythical Superman 2000 pitch and Eric Stephenson’s recent promotion.

In something of a quiet week, our attention switches to British football comics, with the sad news of the passing of writer Fred Baker, and the rather more pleasant prospect of a happy nostalgia trip for Roy of the Rovers fans. Elsewhere, we bemoan the fact that it’s… well, a quiet week, really - and [...]

A busy weekend means a slightly smaller-than-usual column, but luckily Seb’s still around to deliver the goods - an examination of the Spanish Language issue of Blue Beetle, and another Batman theory as Morrison’s run speeds towards the finish line.
