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…

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…

Looking at King City, the Tokyo Pop title being published by Image Comics, Don McPherson mentions other Tokyo Pop books in legal limbo, East Coast Rising by Becky Cloonan, The Abandoned by Ross Campbell, and My Dead Girlfriend by Eric Wight, just waiting for a publisher to do a deal with Tokyo Pop. He quotes Campbell as saying “No word on The Abandoned. I haven’t talked to Tokyo Pop in a long time. I think everybody I once knew there has been fired, heh.” Eric Wight adds “I’m not positive about the specifics of Brandon’s deal, but my impression was that they were for books already finished, which Tokyopop is allowing Image to publish”. Becky states “I still really love the series, but when TP cancelled the book, I moved on to other things”. Certainly for Tokyo Pop, if the work is completed, this is free money for them. And if additional work can be created, there’s a revenue stream without some of the publishing risks, taking advantage of Image’s brokered publisher stakes and no having to worry about the Diamond distribution minimums that haunt the dreams of other non-brokered publishers.

The Birmingham comic book convention BICS begins its local media onslaught with the Birmingham Mail boasting of a four thousand strong attendance… while publishers of The Grudge game for the Wii are planning to use the London MCM Expo to launch the title and the show retains its videogame cosplay Guinness World Record despite a challenge from the rather larger Gamescom in Cologne. The comics section of MCM has been growing of late (just as San Diego’s section has been shrinking) and I’m told Avatar are attending this year. Hell, I’ve been asked if I can buy some comics display racks for Avatar so they don’t have to ship a bunch over…
