Looking back this was a week to remember in the world of comics. We lost the great Joe Simon, a man that everyone who has read, whether they know it or not. We also lost Ed Barreto, at a young age of 57 and last week Jerry Robinson died. A somber week, indeed.

Comics must go on though and when it comes to DC Comics, there is no sign of stopping. Two major announcements this week with Absolute Batman and Robin by Grant Morrison and Absolute Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War. The latter of which I have a few issues with – or should I say, the lack of issues!

I also talk more recent comic books with X-Men. That’s right, I read X-Men for the first time in several years. I get down to business with the Schism hardcover and just where Wolverine, Cyclops and the rest of the mutants may be heading with Regenesis, X-Sanction and Avengers Vs X-Men.

All this and Bob and Doug McKenzie.
Merry Christmas, hoser.

Thanks to Amazon.com we now have an unofficial solicitation to the long awaited All-Star Superman. I’ve only read the first issue to the 12 issue series and I’m looking forward to getting the whole story in my hands. It should be out in October and have a cover price of $99.99. That’s a bit expensive for a 320 page book. I’m guessing that Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly will add in a few extra pages of good bonus material and not just the regular amount of pencil sketches and a cover gallery. Many say that this is a land mark series. I hope the brass at DC will allow a well thought out commentary as to why this is. Now on to a few links:
