Parting Shot

Arriving in stores this past Wednesday was Black Beetle #1, the highly anticipated new miniseries from Francesco Francavilla, and it has been met with near universal acclaim. We've written substantially about both Francavilla and his new series -- about a pulp mystery hero in the fictional Colt City -- already, and Dark Horse Comics has now provided us with a teaser image for the upcoming issue #2

Sixteen-year-old Bowe Cleveland was critically injured last week when a classmate opened fire at Taft Union High School in central California. Airlifted to a hospital in nearby Bakersfield, Cleveland was put in a medically induced coma following surgery to treat the injuries to his chest and abdomen, but has since been slowly awakened although he remains in critical condition...

Out tomorrow is Batman #16, the penultimate chapter to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's "Death of the Family" storyline, featuring Batman going up against the Joker in what is already guaranteed to go down as one of the more popular Joker stories in recent memory, if not ever...

Just released to the web in support of the Walt Disney Records' soundtrack album, this TRON: Uprising music video sets to music some of the most inspired moments of visual splendor that characterize this audacious animated series. Helmed by visionary director Charlie Bean and featuring the brilliant character designs of Robert Valley, boundary-pushing storyboard work by ComicsAlliance favorite Eri

Added together, Christopher Nolan's entire Batman trilogy totals roughly 457 minutes, or a little over 7.5 hours. That might be seen as a big commitment for the superhero and/or cinema fan on the go.

With Diamond releasing its lists for the top 500 comics and graphic novels of 2012 today, there's no time like the present to examine the equally interesting -- if more archaic -- New York Times best seller rankings from last year. Tim Leong, Director of Digital Design at Wired and longtime friend of/occasional contributor to ComicsAlliance, has made it easy to take in NYT's paperback bestsellers

It's been a while since we've checked out the always excellent work of original animated gif maestro Henry Bonsu, aka Henry the Worst. The cartoonist behind some of my favorite fan art jammed out this homage to/desecration of Tales of Suspense #39, the comic that introduced the world to Iron Man in 1963...
