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.

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.

AnniversayWatch: This is the printed cover for today’s Amazing Spider-Ham.
Now, Bleeding Cool may be well known for typos, but still Marvel, that’s one hell of a front page misprint.
How ModernJournalismWorksWatch: This is a remarkable article. The headline is that Matt Smith has been losing viewers for Doctor Who compared with David Tennant in the role, with the headline “New Doctor Matt Smith is turn-off for Tennant fans” following up with “die-hard fans of Doctor Who appear to have deserted the BBC series in droves” and then “The latest series… has lost 1.2 million viewers” saying “Tennant’s last full series, in 2008, drew an average audience of 7.2 million.”
Of course by the end of the article, including timeshifted viewing, the BBC is quoted as saying “Consolidated figures show both series have so far averaged an extremely strong 7.8 million.”
Which means there’s no story. If anything it’s that some viewers have switched from live broadcast to timeshifted viewing. Which isn’t exactly a headline.

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.
