You may have missed the Grauniad interview this week with Mark Millar promoting the release of Matthew Vaughan’s Kick-Ass. Now comic fans are used to the Glaswegian’s heady mixture of self-promotion and hyperbole, but I wonder if the journo involved was a little overwhelmed. I’ve quoted some choice passages below, including a claim that Millar [...]]]></description>

The debut novel of Austin Grossman is a strange beast. It&#8217;s a novel that at its heart is a love letter to comic books, the bastard cousin of the more refined print-based artform, criticised in the past as a childish interest suitable only for illiterates. Grossman himself is feted as a newcomer to genre fiction, [...]]]></description>

This is an unusually long clip to post I realize, however Cast a Deadly Spell mixes the detective novels of Raymond Chandler with the weird excesses of H. P.

		<description><![CDATA[Empire Online Review here.
It&#8217;s a troubling thought this. Troubling because I will admit to rampant, bigoted fanboyism when it comes to Alan Moore&#8217;s Watchmen. Some consider it the best comic book ever. I would add the caveat that it&#8217;s the best superhero comic book ever, which is something quite different.
So mea culpa. Criticism of Watchmen is [...]]]></description>

Namely an upsurge in comic book violence and a failure to properly uphold American values.

So many versions of the character abound, from the 60&#8217;s television show, to Jack Nicholson&#8217;s piece of self-parody in Tim Burton&#8217;s Batman and of course there are the many different takes on the villain essayed by writers like [...]]]></description>
