His name is Everett Watford. He is seventeen years old. He is putting on a comic convention in Chicago. He says; My goal is to showcase independent comic book creators and people trying to break into the business primarily from Chicago. I plan to have artists booths to showcase their wares and a pre-party to have…
Here are a few of the things Marvel has got planned to help promote the Avengers Vs X-Men crossover through the summer. And do you know what? I think it might just work. Avengers Vs X-Men #1 is a new reader jumping on point, for those unfamiliar with the current Marvel universe. Possibly obvious, but…
This is the planned artwork for Archie Comics #635 in July, leaked to Bleeding Cool. As earlier rumoured, it will tell the story of the global protest against massively unequal redistrubution of wealth and power, under the title Occupy Riverdale, echoing the Occupy movements present around the world. This continued the further progressive storylines from…
Grace Randolph, as well as looking at tomorrow’s comics today, takes on Benderspink’s blatantly open plans to use Arcana to publish comic books as a way to get Hollywood interested in their ideas… as well as evangelising for the medium of comics. Get your injection of Grace Randolph’s Stacktastic, half of her Think About The…
Do I have to say “Spoilers!” again. No seriously, stay away if you don’t want spoilers. Don’t come whining to me saying “you spoiled me!” No I didn’t you spoiled yourself by not reading this bit. Right then, off we go.
1. Looks Like Someone’s Been Jiggling With The Chameleon Circuit Again
It’s bigger on the inside and had rather a creamy filling?
2. Rory Seems Rather Au Fair With The TARDIS Doesn’t He?
He knows a little too much. A bit like Amy. Is he a plant? And I don’t mean just the vegetable variety, though he does slightly resemble a potato.
3. Doesn’t Want To Run Into Casanova? I Wonder Why Not.
That’ll be it.
4. “I’ll Explain Later”
I’ve heard that line before, wasn’t it…
Very funny. Moffat reference?
5. Okay, Yes, Yes, The Doctor’s Library Card Was Rather Cool Fanservice.
Totters Lane and everything.
5. JLB Matekoni Punting A Gondola In A Rory’s Stag Night T-shirt Is Funny.
Very very funny. Good juxtaposition, good juxtaposition. You know there’s a funny noise before he does his boom-boom bit. A bit like a TARDIS landing with the stabilisers on? See previous conspiracy – will we see this merchant of Venice again?
6. Remember That Job About The Ideal Mermaid Having The Head Of A Fish And Body Of A Woman?
Yeah, I think it’s time to revise that statement, don’t you?
I dunno, they come over here, they take our women, they convert them and then cause an earthquake/storm/flood thing. Bloody immigrants, eh?
7. So If She Could Remember Her Name, Then Killing 17 Year Old Girls Would Have Been Fine, Would It?
Yeah, Doctor, I’m not sure that’s strongest direction your moral compass has led you to before. It’s not a very strong argument is it? If she’d have known her name there would have been no repercussions? There you go Daleks, find out everyone’s name before exterminating them and you don’t have to worry about the Doctor ever again.
8. Don’t Diss The Monster’s Mum.
Oh no he didn’t! Oh no he didn’t! And look Amy in exactly the right spot with exactly the right prop again. She’s been getting cheat codes I’m sure of it. Possibly from a future travelling Doctor? Any way the moral here is…
9. Hang On, Did Everyone Forget The Incoming Tidal Waves?
Oh the Doctor turned off the storm, but we’d already had the tidal-wave-inducing earthquake. So where did the tsunami go?
10. And Also Aren’t There Still Ten Thousand Male Fishboys Down There?
Oh they may die off without any females to extend the race. But they’re still down there! I wouldn’t want to be a fisherman in Venice right now…
Courtesy of Midtown Comics‘ listings and skipping the trades, here’s a look at the Marvel solicitations for May 2012. One word of warning, the credits on these do get mixed up, especially when there are double shipping issues – and there are a lot of those this month. But those pictures sure are pretty. AGE…
We already showed you what the DC Free Comic Book Day retailer customizable version would look like. Now we have the Marvel version, only available to retailers who order vast quantities. It’s intended to be used in mailshots or attached inside local newspapers, or given away in mass drives, each copy featuring the details of…
FastCoCreate has a new interview with Alan Moore talking about Watchmen – accompanied by the first art from Darwyn Cooke from the Minutemen book. It seems an odd article for DC Comics to have agreed to provide such artwork for, as negative as it is, including such paragraphs as; More recently, Moore says some lawyers…
Neal Adams writes for Bleeding Cool, about Ghost Rider creator Gary Friedrich; Fellow creators, we can help Gary Friedrich without taking any kind of position in his case with Marvel. Gary is sick, and he’s about to lose his house, and though he will tell you he is not destitute, he needs help. If I…
This is the cover to Aquaman #7 by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, the first part of the two part story “The Other League” by Geoff Johns. And from the solicits for issues 7 and 8… Who destroyed Atlantis? In the start of a new storyline, we follow the hunter as he stalks and kills…
