Blackest-night | Only Skin Comix

Guy Gardner, Arisia, and Kilowog team up for a secret mission, but there's a few stops they have to make first.

In 2006, I remember picking up my first action figure which made me grimace. The figure, pictured right, was Green Arrow from the Identity Crisis storyline . I can best describe the figure as "gross looking." However, I really wanted a Green Arrow figure, and this was all I could find, so I picked it up, and now, it sits in a box with other action figures I wasted my money on.

DC's The Source recently revealed the newest series of action figures from DC Direct, and this time, it's based off of the current hit book Brightest Day by Geoff Johns. The first two series include 6 of the 12 brought back during Blackest Night and one character who wasn't resurrected:

For better or for worse, the publishing method of the big two companies in the American market is defined and shaped by their large sprawling events that take months to come out, and are usually a huge drain in reader’s wallets. Like any other reader, I have bought some of these, though in my mind there is something that makes or breaks an event story line: the passage of time inside that particular universe as the event goes on

Did you guys see the preview for the first issue of Ultimate Comic Avengers 3 ? It's by Mark Millar and Steve Dillon , and you will notice that in every page there's a black bar with a notice "Too Violent To Show" in red, like the one you see above. We don't know if the preview just had to hide some juicy bits, if the script called for this, if artist Steve Dillon was running late, or if this is some kind of protest on Millar's side for some reason.

Friday means it's time for the Moments of the Week .

Kyle Rayner arrives just in time to save John Stewart from a lobotomy at the hands of the Cyborg Superman , whose co-opting of the Alpha Lanterns has much more tragic origins than at first appearance.

Got a couple of reviews up. The first is the hardcover graphic novel Blackest Night , collecting Blackest Night #0-8 and Blackest Night Director's Cut #1

A little shocking piece of news came out yesterday courtesy of DC's The Source . Death is coming to Action Comics . Not just any "death" but we're talking about the one from Neil Gaiman 's Sandman .
