Here you'll find general news and discussions relating to the comic book industry. This is also the place to discuss web comics.

With much thanks to Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada, Marvel has ushered in the Platinum Age of comics by hiring the best writers the industry has ever seen — and in the process we've been rewarded with titles such as Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil.

DC isn't just about Superman and Batman anymore. The publisher has a more modern, realistic line in Wildstorm. A mature readers imprint responsible for some of the best comics of all time in Vertigo. And an awesome kids line of comics in Johnny DC. But if you're still interested in the heroes who defined superhero comic books, the DC Universe combines the best writers and artists in the business on some of the world's most iconic characters for your monthly enjoyment.

Image, Dark Horse, Boom!, Dynamite, and so many other smaller publishers might not have the financial power of Marvel and DC, but they produce great comic books nonetheless. Feel free to promote your own comic in here as well.
