As you might be able to tell from the year in the post title, I’ve gotten more than a little lackadaisical about keeping up with this annual series of the best in comics created by North Americans. (I reviewed 2006 at the beginning of 2007, 2007 later in 2007, 2008 in 2008, 2009 in 2009, 2010 in 2011 after the next book was published, 2011 in 2012, 2012 in 2013, 2014 in 2014, and have so far missed 2015, 2016, and 2017. If it were still my job to keep up with things being published, I would probably be deeply ashamed of myself — but it hasn’t been for a decade now, so I’m not.)
But I’m still interested in good comics, as always. So here I finally am with the Jeff Smith-edited The Best American Comics 2013 , only four and a half years after it was published and six-and-a-half to seven-and-a-half years after the work in it originally appeared.
This is the point where one is...

There’s much more to this story at Bleeding Cool.
On January 21st of this year, the Washington Post broke the story of the return of Milestone. Missing from the Post and every article since about the new Milestone 2.0 was any mention of me. I’m a founder and co-creator of the original Milestone’s best-known property, Static Shock.
There was to be a statement from Milestone explaining my absence, but in the three weeks since the story broke, Milestone 2.0 has not issued any statement.
Because there was no statement, comic book fans, Milestone fans, and my fan (I had two, one died) took to social media speculating as to why I was missing. Missing from news stories and missing from interviews, which was curious. I was no longer a part of the new venture, but in all the interviews, I was missing from the history of Milestone 2.0.

Comics, comics, comics. I love comics. Just one look at what’s on the upcoming rack from a single publisher and I find more stories I’d be into than if I combed a whole video store. (And yes, I just aged myself by using a VHS metaphor. Ace!)
First up, the beauty that is Dark Horse, which will soon be bringing us the futuristic (but realistically violent) Concrete Park, the bizarre media-study Pop, and a crossover that only your pulp-loving uncle could love: Grendel Vs. The Shadow. The color palates are making my eyes go bonkers over here.
Concrete Park #1
From the press release: “A troubled young outcast from Earth awakens on a distant desert planet that’s gripped by gang war. Will the exiles of Scare City destroy each other or create something surprising, beautiful, and new?” This one first ran in the pages of Dark Horse Presents,...

When she's not creating new graphic novels with her husband Tony Puryear, or co-starring in Ernest Dickerson-directed new dramas for AMC, actress Erika Alexander is busy penning scripts for episodes of AMC's hit series Mad Men that will likely never be made... well actually, it's just one script, and, who knows, maybe it'll get some attention. Before last night's 2-hour season premiere of Mad Men, a show that's been on the receiving end of criticism for its rather, shall we say, vanilla casting, Ms Alexander shared the below post on her blog, titled Why I Wrote a Mad Men Episode With Negroes. I think the title sums it up, but read her full post below, and at the end of it, you'll...

How many of you already know that the co-story/spec/screenwriter for the Arnold Schwazenegger thriller Eraser (co-starring Vanessa Williams) was African American? Or that he has since penned scripts for Mel Gibson (the remake of Fahrenheit 451), and worked on projects with Oliver Stone, Jerry Bruckheimer and Will Smith? Or that he's also a graphic artist, married to Living Single actress Erika Alexander? Or that he and Alexander (and her brother Robert Alexander) have created a new graphic novel titled Concrete Park, which made a bit of a splash at Comic-Con last week? His name is Tony Puryear by the way. Curious? Sure you are. Read on from the press release summary: ...
