The collected edition of ZED - A Cosmic Tale will be coming out next week.  It may be under your radar, and that's understandable.  It certainly looks like something other than what it actually is.  It's...

In case you missed yesterday's blockbuster news, the irrepressible Rob Liefeld took three days out of his schedule to write a screenplay called ICONS about the early days of Image.

Vaughn and Fiona Staples were definitely the Team of the Year, with a significant number of votes.

2013 rolls in like a Swiss person being pushed down a hill, which means it's time for some more reviews! And some photos of Benedict Cumberbatch, because I refuse to bow to reader demands. He's...
