WizardWatch: From someone who bought the final issue of Wizard;

I picked up the last issue for nostalgia's sake….to see how they ended it. As I picked it up, you know what fell out? Yep…a SUBSCRIPTION CARD.

What really puts this issue over the top, though, is Emma Ríos's artwork: some of the comics she's drawn in the past have had a much more streamlined look, but her work here is built on the raw, ragged brushstrokes of a Paul Pope or Nathan Fox. The big fight scene here is all coppery chaos and spatters of blood, with pieces of the combatants' bodies speed-blurred or appearing in too many places at once. The story's talking-heads scenes are smartly executed, too: there's one sequence that's 16 consecutive panels of a single character, in close-up, and Ríos makes her hand gestures and facial expressions carry most of its weight

Static Shock to star in his own book this spring

I always had my fingers crossed about Static getting his own book, again.  In fact, I stalked Dan DiDio about the idea.  I'm also a big Dwayne McDuffie fan, and if I could choose my real life little brother, he'd be Static!  I love his relationship with his family, particularly with his sister. It feels very grounded and real to me. I love how much he cares about Dakota and that he's a typical guy in a lot of ways. And nothing's more fun to write than raging hormones, a dedication to doing the right thing for the right reasons, all while still trying to figure out who you are and what you really want.

Tommy Lee Jones On His Cap Role

The character I play is the one you've seen in a thousand movies: the gruff, skeptical officer overseeing a team of talented, slightly sarcastic, specially talented soldiers.

Taipei, Feb. 12 (CNA) A website featuring comics drawn by comic artists from Taiwan, Germany, Japan, South Korea and China will be launched in April to show readers what cities might look like 40 years from now, the Goethe Institute in Taipei said Friday.

The institute, which serves as bridge between Taiwanese artists and German art circles, told CNA that 13 artists have been invited to participate in the "City of the Future" project, in which each will use comics to portray the idea of sustainability, how it might feel to live in 2050, and what might happen in cities of the future.

The artists had gathered in Taipei for the first time over the previous two days to discuss details of the project.

The comics, expected to be published online in English in the middle of April at the earliest, will be part of a website dedicated to issues and aspects of climate change, according to the institute's Vinci Lin.

She said there are quite a few outstanding comic book artists in Taiwan, but many turned down the invitation for fear they would not be able to create comics in English, or simply because they were uninterested in the subject.

The 13 comic artists include Titus Ackermann, Thomas Gronle, and Jonas Greulich from Germany, Peng Han and Zhang Wen from China, Lin Lihchin, Grizzly Monster and Zhang Fang Zhi from Taiwan, Motonobu Hattori, Hiwatashi Hiroyuki and Dai Okazaki from Japan, and Kim Dae Joong and Lee Hyun Joo from South Korea.
