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…

Nikke Finke finds a great angle on the Misney story. As well as looking at the negotiations that went on at the top level of both companies, as well as each individual’s rationale (Disney had lots of money to spare, Ike Perlmutter wanted to keep on working) she points out that Disney’s Rober Iger has a very strong family connection to comics, which the article implies he’s keenly aware of – his grandfather’s brother was Jerry Iger — who was Will Eisner’s partner in the Eisner/Iger studios, one of the very important building blocks of the birth of the industry. Jack Kirby, Bob Kane and the like worked for them before heading onto Marvel and DC. Which means there’s a potentially different bit of spin on Disney’s stewardship of Marvel. Marvel can potentially cast Iger as “a comic book guy” to attempt to assuage any industry concerns about their new corporate masters…
And for those fearful of Disney interference in Marvel titles, I was reminded of the Touchmark line of comics intended to be published by Disney, headed by Art Young. they included the radical-even-now gay superhero mature readers series Enigma by Pete Milligan and Duncan Fegredo and terribly debauched Sebastian O comic by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell. While the books didn’t see print from Disney, down to financial reasons (the Disney Implosion) not artistic or cultural ones, decisions that DC Vertigo were a beneficiary of when they picked them up.
But the Marvel Disney story wouldn’t be a big one if someone hadn’t created a Hitler downfall video, now would it?

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.
