A while back when there was talk of a Wonder Woman adapted movie, Cobie Smulders came up as a candidate for the lead role of the warrior princess from the Amazons.

The same network that brought you “Hung” has a new show with one word in its name entitled “Girls” making its debut on April 15, 2012.

I always like when there is an original concept to an anime series. Anime like, Eureka 7, or Gurren Lagann have always been the type of anime I like. The types that like to take chances on something different then the status quo. That is why I wanted to check out Soul Eater. While some [...]

I have seen very few live action movies that emulate anime well. Goemon is the exception. I loved everything about this movie; from the plot, to the character designs, to the acting. Everything is top notch. The way the characters move during the action sequences is very fluid. The wirework is almost inconceivable. The framing [...]

We’ve been so busy over here at Comi Girl, not so much with work, but this seems to be the year of family. Not such a bad thing of course, because strengthening family bonds and getting re-acquainted with family you hardly get to see is very important in the grand scheme of things. So [...]

DC has been really cryptic with FlashPoint.

Jerry Robinson, creator of the Joker passed away last night in his sleep. He was 89 years old.
Greg and I had the opportunity to meet Jerry in 2008. I remember how kind and unassuming he was. He talked about his past working in comics, creating the Joker, and told a lot of stories about how rough the comic book industry was in the early days.
He was a huge advocate for artist’s rights. He spoke about Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster’s struggles and his battle to get them proper credit and payment for creating Superman.
He was an amazing man, and Greg and I are honored to have heard him speak and to have gotten the chance to meet him. Some photos we took that night are below.
