There’s apparently a hell of a quote that the panel reports for Final Crisis Management missed, that you can find if you look at the recordings on dccomics.com. In the interest of public education, I’ve transcribed it for you all:
Um, I love what you do with your storylines, I found out this year that I […]
I’ve got to go drown my Con-less sorrows at the Astoria Beer Garden and wish my friends well in their impending move to Providence. People will have to find their own SDCC news tonight! I’m already late! But first, here’s some stuff:
If you’re anything like us, you’re tired of confusing, incoherent panel reports - especially […]
I guess everyone is out drinking tonight, so not a lot of news trickling out of San Diego. Here’s what we have, though. Eisner results and grousing coming soon!
Yes, I know that it’s practically quitting time here on the East Coast. But out in San Diego, our decadent western cousins are barely done with lunch right now. To keep the lists from becoming leviathan-like, here’s a rundown of what people have said this morning.
All the cool kids are out in San Diego, but that doesn’t mean we can’t link blog with easily digestible San Diego news!
CHECKMATE #31 Written by Bruce Jones. Art and cover by Manuel Garcia. All the pieces on the Checkmate board have converged on China. Is it the end of the world as we know it in this series finale issue? Or will Chimera save the day? On sale October 29. 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US FINAL […]
I think most fans of nerd-based movies have been sitting and watching as the fresh tomatoes come in on The Dark Knight. And, you know, it’s pretty fantastic news - it’s close to universally agreed that this is a goddamn good, if not truly great, movie. I’m hearing “better than Batman Begins“, and since that’s […]
CBR just put up a (quite sweet-looking) preview of some new Dodson pages from Uncanny 500, and in the process also put up the final Greg Land cover (original here). Besides compressing a lot of the figures to make it fit on two pages (I gues it’s not a gatefold anymore), there was just one […]
You know the drill. Let’s roll. Massive spoilers ahead.
Note: I’m going to be largely talking about the book without Countdown; sections that relate to events in Countdown or Countdown-related series or really anything outside of the Johns/Morrison/Rucka axis will be discussed separately, since anything “learned” in Countdown is suspect.
Okay, double note: Note the text on […]
Wow, I haven’t written anything in a while. I need to adopt Dave’s work ethic, but work is all consuming at the moment. Since I missed the recording of the podcast this week (a compelling discussion of the Bill Jemas era at Marvel), I decided to put some thoughts together in a typically […]
And we’re gonna go yet another round in the “What the fuck is going on at DC” sweepstakes, thanks to Warren Ellis’s latest Bad Signal (stolen from Schwapp!!!):
People like talking shit about Dan Didio online. The truth is that he’s actually a smart guy who, on entering the company, had to make some tough decisions […]
There has been - to understate - a bit of a storm around Morrison’s recent Newsarama interview regarding the lack of connection between the 51-issue weekly Countdown and the series it was leading to, his 7-issue (plus tie-ins!) opus Final Crisis. For those who didn’t read it, it essentially goes like this: Grant Morrison writes […]
Anyone who follows Morrison’s career likely remembers his announcement of numerous new Vertigo projects at the New York Comic Con. Well, by numerous I mean three (maybe technically four): Seaguy 2 and 3, Atomika & Me (which was apparently a surprise to even the panelists - I’m afraid this was the one panel I missed […]
Today saw the end of the DCU-villains-are-mysteriously missing plot line that has been running since around the quarter mark of Countdown. Both of these stories were promised as major status quo modifications for the cadre of villains that DC has, of late, become increasingly enamored with. Both of these stories were, supposedly, born out of […]
Supergirl #30 - Will Pfeifer & Ron Randall
DC, I know you’re not all about this “informing readers” thing, what with Dark Side Club crossover banners appearing out of nowhere without a checklist and your love of last-minute artist changes. But when you straight-up change the whole story, usually you have the courtesy of letting us […]
