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…

About ten years ago, there was a person who posted on comic boards going by the names of Andrew Calo or Andrew Callow amongst others, who was considered a bit of a troll.
And he hasn’t been heard from forquite a long time. Well this time he’s back. And, according to a bunch of retailers, his behaviour is even more offensive these days.
One American retailer reports that a man going by that name tried to set up a mail order account using stolen credit cards.
He said he was unable to sign my credit authorization form because he did not have access to a printer. He refused to have anything shipped via a method which required a signature. He asked to have packages shipped first to a youth hostel in Washington state and then to a ski lodge in Whistler, BC. Oh and he said he was currently staying in Bangkok but had credit cards issued from a bank in Wales.
When challenged he demanded the retailer reimburse him for the money the man claimed to have spent calling his bank, and to send him free comics as recompense. Then threatened the retailer with legal action.
An Australian retailer reports a similar with a man of the same name.
We went through a similar experience, where we sent out the books and he claimed that he never received them, then demanded a refund… He said he was from the UK and was on holidays. He became very abusive over the phone, threatened to sic his legal team onto us if we didn’t send him the refund. Which my Online manager would have done if I didn’t stop them then do a ring around of other store on the East coast of Australia and found he had tried the same scam with them… I’m still waiting for him to sue me.
Whether this is the same man or a group using the same name, I don’t know. Still, it may be worth double checking if the name comes up.

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…
