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…

CapWatch: Hayley Atwell confirms that Tommy Lee Jones will be in the Captain America movie. Thanks Hayley!
CubicleWatch: Pajiba report that Ken Kwapis will be directing a live-action movie based on the Dilbert comic strip.
The Jonah Hex trailer seems to be in response to poor reaction to the first, by upping the supernatural elements that execs may have believed might have otherwise put people off. The Wylde Wylde West indeed…
ErroWatch: The Icelandic press catch up with the Erro/Brian Bolland story – and in doing so basically swipe and transpose the Bleeding Cool story. Which is terribly ironic given the nature of the story.. (UPDATE: The article now mentions and credits Bleeding Cool. Which is nice)
TechWatch: Could this be the new comic book “floppy” format?
WorkWatch: Bob Greenberger sets down the problems with being a freelancer writer as he suddenly finds himself without work. This on a day when I’m about to go into an advertising office to work for Si Spurrier’s brother-in-law (he’s in radio, he knows me from my other work, I’ve been writing for home for him of late, yes its a hell of a coincidence). So, yes, I’m taking Bob’s words to heart.
CharityWatch: No sooner did Brighton’s Hero Run recapture the greatest gathering of superheroes for the Guinness Book Of World Records, it looks like Melbourne is giving it a go this Saturday, and looking to break the record, standing at just over a thousand, by three times!
SpideyWatch: MTV report that the casting for Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the new movie is down to a final five – Jamie Bell, Alden Ehrenreich, Frank Dillane, Andrew Garfield and Josh Hutcherson.
BoyWatch: Garth Ennis sees The Boys in movie terms as a much easier sell than Preacher.

Is that the sound of certain people at DC Comics kicking themselves?
CoverWatch: More DC 75th Anniversary variant covers… which mean of course you now have no need to buy them. Hmm.
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…
Welcome to the Justice League Of Hanna Barbera, by Brazilian artist Daniel HDR. Can’t Boom just buy the rights and make this happen?
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…
