Jerry Robinson

Jerry Robinson, comics rights activist and creator of Batman villain The Joker, passed away in his sleep on Wednesday night at the age of 89 years old.

I hate writing articles like this, not only because it means that a creator whose work mattered to me as a reader and not only because he was a man for whom I have the utmost respect, but also because it’s impossible for me to do this man justice with anything I say about him. I cannot stress enough the importance of the creation of a character like The Joker and what kind of influence that has had on the comic book industry.

Out Of Egypt

Yeah, because there really is no better person to help spearhead an adaptation of an Anne Rice novel than one Christopher Columbus.

Joking aside, Variety is reporting that the director’s shingle 1492 Pictures are backing a take on Rice’s Christ The Lord: Out Of Egypt. The film will be helmed by Cyrus Nowrasteh, with a screenplay he penned alongside Betsy Nowrasteh.

Cover Price: $3.99

I’m sure you’re tired of my always positive reviews of this title. I’m sorry, but they’re gonna keep going. Jack Avarice Is The Courier #5 is probably the best issue of the series! More and more of what is great about this series — action, adventure, laughs, and mystery. This issue is a perfect conclusion to this series.

Chris Madden, who handles writing and art duties, knows exactly where he’s going in this title and it shows. It’s another well written issue, with barely a panel in the whole book that lets you catch your breath before moving on to the next cliffhanging panel. Madden has really got the characters down, and in just five short issues, they’ve all ready got a life of their own. Great, great writing here from Chris Madden.

Abed as Batman

On last Thursday’s episode of the fan favorite NBC series Community showed us what happens when Abed loses himself to The Dark Knight.

Now, this isn’t the first time that Abed embraced his inner Bat, but this was the most elaborate. The show’s premise was that Abed and Troy got a hold of a super rare extended edition of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight that featured commentary and a personalized autograph from the movie’s star Christian Bale. Unfortunately, some things happened that lead the character to believe that the disc had been stolen. And of course that can only mean one thing for a man whose love for The Batman has been compromise, it’s time to dress up like The Caped Crusader. Make it so, Abed. Make. It. So.
