My first Free Comic Book Day was in 2011. I went to a comic shop and immediately shot to the graphic novel section of the store, picked up a Spawn book I’d had my eye on for a while, and took it to the register to inform the owner of my selection. He saw what I was doing, laughed in disgust, and told me to pay for it or put it back. The free comics, he said, were a few select titles that carried the FCBD mark on them, and were only available, in my store’s case, for those who spent $10 or more during the day. I spent my…

“You think that you are the cleverest person in the room, and that makes you dangerous,” a colleague tells Dr. Adam Kay, the British obstetrician at the center of the UK limited series This Is Going to Hurt. Ordinarily, this is the kind of sentiment hurled at the protagonist of a modern antihero drama, or at least the main character of a slightly complex network procedural. (If that exact sentence was never said to Dr. Gregory House, the general sentiment surely was, many times over.) Adam is, indeed, guilty of a…

Image via Lucasfilm Now knowing what Ben Kenobi got up to in his exile years, thanks to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus, we can’t help but wonder if Yoda also had any adventures of his own in the 20 years between Revenge of the Sith and The Empire Strikes Back. Marvel Comics has just announced a new Star Wars series that will attempt to answer that very question, though not in the way you’d imagine. Star Wars: Yoda will be a 10-issue comic story centering around Yoda and his time reflecting on past mistakes before…

The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is one of the most prestigious events for artists in Canada, and it’s also one of the largest festivals in the world dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of comics — and only comics. But TCAF is at the center of a firestorm of controversy after announcing that NFT artist Pink Cat, also known as Saba Moeel, would be one of the festival’s featured guests. On Tuesday, TCAF announced that they are uninviting Moeel, and clarified the original intentions behind her invitation. Pink…

via 20th Century Fox Alan Moore famously hates seeing his work butchered and bastardized by Hollywood, but surely the director of game-changing comic book adaptation Blade tackling The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Sean Connery in the lead role was too big to fail? It might have been, at least if the two didn’t hate each other’s guts, and production wasn’t cursed at every turn. Not only did Connery have such a joyless experience that he immediately retired from acting, Norrington still hasn’t directed…

Though "Obi-Wan Kenobi" is very much about the title character, Darth Vader is just as important to the overall story. As a powerful Sith, feared Imperial figurehead, and Kenobi's former padawan, this only makes sense. If you'd like to know more about where he is in all facets of his life by the time of "Obi-Wan Kenobi," then the "Darth Vader" comic line by Charles Soule is just the thing for you. Released from 2017 to 2018, the run covers Vader's exploits from 19 to 12BBY, and suffice to say, things get…

| Bryan Brandenburg is well known to Bleeding Cool readers as the co-founder of FanX, formerly known as Salt Lake Comic Con, who went up against the San Diego Comic-Con over the "Comic Con" trademark, ended up losing to the tune of $4 million, which led him to apologise and to change the name of his convention to FanX.
