Brian reviews Wanted

By Brian • Jul 2nd, 2008

Comic book fans might be split about how much they want to see or even how much they like the latest comic to screen adaptation Wanted starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. But I think most other movie goers won’t have the same questions. I think they’ll just think it’s a great action [...]

Brian reviews The Incredible Hulk

By Brian • Jun 13th, 2008

 
Let me begin with two things that have nothing to do with Marvel’s latest attempt at a Hulk movie. Two trailers for upcoming comic-book movies were featured before the main attraction. The first was for Hellboy 2 and it looks interesting enough and having somewhat enjoyed the first installment I’m sure I’ll donate my 10 [...]

Fund Raiser to Help Robbed and Shot Comics Retailer

By Adam • Apr 29th, 2008

Hey everybody,  I recently received this link through Ben Templesmith’s twitter.  It is a tragic thing that has occurred and I’m really glad the guys over at iFanboy put this together.  I felt the need to share this link to everyone to help get the word out.  I imagine the shop owners that I personally [...]



Review of Walkie Talkie 4

By Adam • Apr 7th, 2008

A few weeks back Richard of Richard’s Comics and Collectables gave me a copy of Walkie Talkie #4 to review. He said it was sent to him and he gave it a read, but it just wasn’t his genre, so he didn’t feel he could give it a fair shot. It [...]

The Dollar Bin Interview with Cliff Chiang

Just like the ads say, MySpace really is a place for friends. To keep in touch with old ones, make new ones and to then bug some of them for interviews. This of course brings us to our new friend and incredibly talented artist Cliff Chiang, [...]



Contraband - An Interview with TJ Behe

By Brian • Mar 1st, 2008

One of the nice things I have learned about the comic book industry since we started The Dollar Bin is that it is very easy in the internet age to have a real sense of community between everyone involved. Sites like ours, MySpace, Comic Space and countless message boards can help us all make and [...]

Not much to review for this one. Some guy at the end of Heroes Con last year started throwing these books at me. It was completely unprovoked. I swear. Anyway, this book is simply a collection of, well, postcards with Adult Swim images on them. [...]
