One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio’s interview with The Advocate. Specifically over the decision not to change any character’s sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe. At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch…

Marvel have issued a list of hardcover and trade paperbacks they are expecting to go out of print shortly. This gives retailers a chance to stock up for a final time (for now) and, of course, allows speculators load up on books that will suddenly be a whole lot rarer, with an increased price to match.
Basically, if you want one, get one now. The Walt Simonson and Millar/Hitch Fantastic Four, Claremont and Alan Davis Excalibur, Peter David X-Factor, Joss Whedon and Brian K Vaughan’s Runaways and Jonathan Lethem’s Omega The Unknown must be favourites.

Yesterday, Fox News decided to suggest that because DC have plans to reintroduce one of their iconic characters to the New 52 as a gay man, that meant that Superman might be gay. Today, the closest (and I originally mispelt that as “closet”) thing the UK has to Fox News, the Daily Mail does the…

Thanks to Fox for this one. Honchos at Superman’s comic book home, DC Comics, said this weekend that one of their most identifiable (but as of yet unnamed) straight characters will soon be coming out of the closet, according to a report.
