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…

Three days till I fly out to Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con (look everyone, they put the Wizard World name back in, albeit in smaller type!) and I haven’t even started preparing. I don’t even know what hotel I’m meant to be staying in. This will be fun.. Central Park is warm this time of year, right? Either way, I’m in training, the Bleeding Cool panel is scheduled opposite the Twilight panel. It’s tough to go up against but I’m ready. I’m ready!!!

Here’s uploaded video of Kevin Smith on BBC’s Newsnight Review, for those of you who live outside the UK and can’t access the iPlayer. There are some real gems…
Kevin talked about this at recording at his Audience show at Indig02 this weekend, lambasting Jeanette Winterson in the process. He also had a go at Jonathan Ross, much beloved of Bleeding Cool. Now back in 2006, in his Film 2006 show, Jonathan Ross reviewed Clerks II, saying of its writer/director/editor/actor Kevin Smith;
It’s a real tribute to the man’s shrewd use of the Internet to keep his profile alive, that he has managed to sustain a career in the movie industry. As he has no detectable talent as writer, director, editor, or actor.
At the time, Kevin Smith posted opposing reviews and comments from some of the Hollywood luminati to contradict Ross. But regarding his trip to the UK, Kevin Smith’s people enquired if Jonathan Ross wanted him on his BBC Friday night chat show, only to be rebuffed. One Twitterer took it in hand to ask Jonathan directly to get the response
Wasn’t I didn’t want him on, per se. But majority of people in UK have no idea who he is. And we rarely have directors on .
And when that wasn’t enough;
Trust me. Majority of people in UK have never heard of him. This isn’t a dis, just a fact. Hasn’t been involved in a major hit.
Which is probably true, but not enough of an answer for said twitterer who promptly unfollowed Jonathan, leaving him with only 424,964 remaining. And so, at his recent An Audience With Kevin Smith show as part of Indig02 at the O2 complex in London appearance, Smith took took Ross to task. We await quotes with glee, but there is irony in that the Kick Ass movie that Kevin Smith saw and talked about on BBC Newsnight Review, was scripted by Jonathan Ross’ wife, Jane Goldman.
There are wheels within whels within hamster wheels.

Does your teacher ever dress up as the Joker, or is it just a makeup job gone wrong? All cheers to Mr Walenta of the Driffield School in Driffield, East Yorkshire, as a school took on a comics theme day, and ComICA’s Paul Gravett and Mel Gibson (no not that one) turned up to talk to children about comics, comics illustration and how the whole thing works.

While the Dubai School of Government is to host Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, creator of The 99, the Islamic-themed superhero comic, for a speech on how the private sector can help diplomacy from country to country, citing The 99 as an example of that, epitomised by an upcoming Batman/Superman/99 crossover.

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…
