DC Comics announced nearly a year ago that they would be creating a series of stand alone graphic novels about the major heroes in the DCU, and appropriately enough they started it off with Superman Earth One.

A killer app for comics?
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHRmDtBcDXI I had an opportunity to get my hands on an iPad today when Mark at work brought his in for some Info-Tech show and tell. Steve Jobs has declared it a “Magical Device”. Arthur C Clarke once said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Well in that respect, the iPad is magic. [...]
The Most Valuable Comics I Own
Last week I got an email from a prospective new customer for All New Comics asking what condition our comics come in. My business partner Peter prides himself on the way he ships stuff, he puts each comic in a bag and board, wraps a bunch of them together in a bag, puts that bag [...]
Best Comics of 2009
2009 was a pretty good year for comics sales. At All New Comics we saw our month-to-month sales rise by about 80% year over year, with a lot of that coming from new customers. Our existing customers aren’t demonstrating any of the so-called “event fatigue” which retailers like Brian Hibbs are complaining about, and instead [...]

See you at the Fan Expo!
Work is done, and I’m heading home. Tomorrow morning I’m going to set the framing guys up with what we want them to do…and then I’m off to Toronto for 3 fun filled days and nights at Fan Expo Canada, hanging with my nerdly brothers and sisters. Check out the All New Comics Twitter account [...]
Comic Review: Blackest Night #1
In news there’s a saying that goes “Don’t bury the lead”, so the rest of this pre-amble is flavour, here’s the meat of this review: Despite DC Comics telling us otherwise, Blackest Night is not JUST a Green Lantern event. It is a DC Universe event that spans Identity Crisis, Infinite Crisis, and Final Crisis, [...]
