I was actually sitting here wondering why the hell I’ve not been feeling very connected to the world of graphic novels, and then I realised that my routine look at what’s going on in the world of comics had come to a pretty much a stop. It’s nothing personal, just lots of things going on […]
Just thought I’d point out this excellent interview with Alex Ross regarding the latest Absolute Kingdom Come hardcover from DC Comics. I’ve got incredibly fond memories of that series and I will be reviewing that seminal mini-series at some point in time. I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately with this website however that’s mainly […]
I’m just going to post the covers to the trades that really caught my attention. Hopefully a more meaningful discussion regarding the latest Previews will be forthcoming, however I’m not going to promise anything, enjoy.
I just finished reading the excellent interview on Newsarama with Scott Dunbier, Executive Editor at Wildstorm. Many people growing up remember Spider-man or Superman as their hero of choice. The character they grew up reading and therefore finding a great attachement to.

I was going to put all this information in the about section, but the more I thought about it the more I realised that it’s actually pretty important to flesh these ideas out and present them in a more complete and coherent fashion. Therefore I created a new category which I’ll be peppering with opinions […]
Even though SplashPanel is (will be) a site dedicated to the Graphic Novel, every once in a while, and it’s pretty rare I assure you, I’ll buy a monthly pamphlet as a taster of things to come. Sometimes it’s because I’m pretty excited about the actual story, other times it’s simply because it’s truely […]
