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…

Oh please make this happen. Bleeding Cool writer Alex DeCampi (and animation director) suggested on Twitter that this manner of animation would suit a Neil Gaiman story very well indeed.
Alex De Campi: Amazing book animation this would be fun to do for a @neilhimself short story…
Thing is on Twitter, you’re playing with live bullets.
Neil Gaiman: do I need to record one specially?
Alex De Campi: it would have to be Quite Short Indeed, or only the initial page of a long story, due to animation taking a bloody long time
Alex De Campi: it also might work rather well for a poem. If you have suggestions, let me know. It would take me ages, though. I am slow.
Neil Gaiman: maybe a short short like Nicholas Was.
Alex De Campi: not sure I’ve read Nicholas Was, though my brain is in comic-launch/music video edit shutdown. Will truffle it out and ponder.
The text is below, Alex, obviously copyright Neil Gaiman. Or you can listen to it here…
Let;s see if we can make it happen for next Christmas, hey?
Nicholas Was…
Older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.
The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.
Once very year they forced him, sobbing & protesting, into Endless Night. During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves’ invisible gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time.
He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.
Ho.
Ho.
Ho.

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…
