John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…

The Guardian newspaper asks… is Neil Gaiman a hack? I know I am… in the same paper, Dave Gibbons talks about using computers in his work and his hatred for the typeface he helped inspire, Comic Sans and his joy at seeing his own digital lettering font used in The Dandy.
At WizardWorld Chicago Comic Con this year, comics creator and female wrestling fan George Perez hosted an afterhours Speed Dating session. Not surprisingly, the male and female camps were hesitant to inter-mingle until Perez stepped in as a social ‘icebreaker’ to get the male and female sides together.

I look forward to the “We’re starying together for the George Perez sketch” announcement.

I’ve commented before about the fan-hating of Russell T Davies for killing off (oh come on, it’s aired everywhere now, it’s not a spoiler) Ianto in the recent Torchwood: Children Of Earth series. There was a big campaign to send the Torchwood production office bags of coffee (ianto is referred to as the coffee boy in the show) – but the office only received eight bags. Anyway. Actor Gareth David Lloyd will be signing copies of the new Torchwood audio book The Sin Eaters at Borders in Cardiff at 1pm. Expect lots of young ladies queued saying “but whhhyyyyy did they kill you off, wwwhhhhhhyyyyy…”
Sexually explicit comics used to harass police officer. I bet it was copies of Batman Confidential.
Feel happy Americans. Sony is buying cartoonist Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus for US distribution. Thought odds are we’ll get it here first. Serves you right for not letting us have Up for another two months. I bet Kick Ass will be complicated internationally too…

When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
