Top Ten Most Read Posts Of The Week
1. Brian Bolland Takes On Erro… And Wins
Who thought when I wrote about Erro's work a few weeks ago that Brian Bolland would take it to heart so, make a visit and then challenge the perpetrator and his agent? And looks like a lot of you liked it too.

A lot of sites seemed to simultaneously put up posts showing the Fring alternate DC covers and their real-life counterparts. And judging from the hits, I can tell why.
3. VIDEO: Batman XXX A Porn Parody – The Official Trailer…
This is unprecedented. For its third week in the top ten, the three-week-old post and hosting of the trailer for the Batman XXX Porn Parody Trailer make is into the list. At this rate, it'll top Middle Earth In Matches, Muppet WickerMan or Watchmen 2 in popularity.
4. DC Make A Move On $3.99 Titles
The first move of the week it seemed, putting up the prices in line with Marvel, on standard length comic books.
5. Those Alternative Universe DC Comics From Fringe
The first scans online from the TV show, showing the low res pixelly comics that would soon get officially confirmed by DC. Shame the Jonah Hex image wasn't as visible in the original.

Yes, this was ironic as all hell. It was the pot calling the kettle black. But it was also quite funny, especially when Robert Kirkman got involved – and offered up a few exclusive pages from the long awaited Image United #3.
7. Swipe File: Uncuddy X-Men
From House to X-Factor, here comes Lisa Edelstein…

The other shoe dropping on $3.99 titles. DC changing the price on already-solicited books.
10. How To Make Your Very Own Avengers Gatefold Variant
It seems I may have destroyed the market on these things by pointing out the massive flaws. Sorry…
Bubbling Under
So what else is news? Well, the cancellation for the CMX line, the Vertigo series Air, Uncanny Soldier and the resultant fallout. Swipe files for Power Girl, Ctrl-Alt-Del and New Krypton, Wizard World blinking on Big Apple and other convenyion dates and locations. looking at the Avengers Finales, the new Doctor Who, Paul Cornell's new TV series, a Torchwood comic and an increased schedule for Kick Ass 2.
