  2. Marvel vs. DC: Inside dope from the kings of comics

    Around this time last year during C2E2 — the busy, sprawling Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo held each spring at McCormick Place — we spoke with the heads of DC Comics and Marvel Entertainment. We told them that, because we're curious, we would soon be bringing up an age-old question, a schoolyard tussle without a satisfactory answer.

  6. Day 2 of C2E2: Too much

    A few notes from the second day of C2E2 -&nbsp; a.k.a., the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo - which runs though Sunday at McCormick Place, and in its fourth year, shows signs of not only getting bigger (attendance wise), but becoming comfortingly archetypal (programming wise): Lots of con legends (Burt Ward, Ron Perlman) but not too many, lots of insider chatter (but nothing off-putting), and lots and lots of people in handmade costumes. On the other hand, Adam West canceled at the last minute (back injury) and, surprisingly, DC Comics, which has a full slate of artists, writers, editors and programming (the publisher even designed the official, Superman-centric C2E2 poster), decided against maintaining a booth at the last minute (and would not explain why when asked, though convention costs have been mumbled about).

  10. Comics buff Israel Idonije unveils his superhero tale at C2E2

    Israel Idonije doesn't wear a helmet or absorb punishing blocks while performing his side job as a comic book creator. Yet the former Bears defensive lineman insists that developing his superhero title &quot;The Protectors" has been more difficult than tackling an NFL quarterback.

  11. Between the Darkness and the Light: Brian Azzarello on writing for DC Comics

    If you only went by the type of comic-books he wrote, you would think that <strong>Brian Azzarello</strong> was a brooding soul, a tortured artist who was tormented by a traumatic past. But when you speak with the writer of dark titles like <strong>&ldquo;100 Bullets&rdquo;</strong> and<strong> &ldquo;Hellblazer&rdquo;,</strong> he sure doesn&rsquo;t come across that way. Ask him about the challenges of writing characters like <strong>The Watchmen</strong>&rsquo;s <strong>Rorshach</strong> or <strong>Wonder Woman</strong>, and Azzarello is thoughtful and easy to crack wise. It&rsquo;s not until you bring up the topic of his favorite baseball team - the <strong>Chicago Cubs</strong> - that the conversation gets gloomy. Well&hellip;not really.

  12. It's a nerd world

    Once a month, at Third Coast Comics in the Edgewater neighborhood, the store closes for the evening and the knitting comes out. Followed by the drinks. Drink &amp; Draw &amp; Knitting Night is the second Thursday of each month, as it has been since Terry Gant opened Third Coast nearly five years ago. When I asked who actually comes to this, he replied: &ldquo;Nerds, artists, fiber-arts folks, nerds &mdash; by and large, super-nerdy people show up for knitting nights at comic book shops.&rdquo;
