At Kapow in London, during the Avengers Vs X-Men panel with Kieron Gillen, CB Cebulski and Joe Quesada, they showed off some upcoming Avengers Vs X-Men pages… one of which seems to show a certain Professor X returning for issue 6… We also got a teaser that Illyana and Black Widow will star in an…
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…

Warren Ellis has been talking plenty at Kapow, in London today. Lots of questions, lots of answers, lots of laughs, an unlit cigarette and a can or three of Red Bull.

British comic book stores may have stood up admirably to threats of looting last week. But this week they faced a far greater threat.
Water.
Inclement weather in some parts of the country have led to severe water damage across much of Diamond UK’s stock. As a result there have been major allocations on a number of comic books shipping this week, listed below. And even on books that have shipped to UK stores today, there is serious damage. And the weather clearly has a DC bias.
Arrangements for replacements are underway but basically, if you live in Britain and want your comics tomorrow, get to your shop early. Maybe bring an umbrella.
You know, I knew Diamond UK should never have moved to Cheshire…

What would you do if you met a visitor from another time? Michael Moran finds out when he sees a movie sequel that’s at least a decade overdue. Has time been kind to Earth’s shadowy guardians?
“One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June” That’s the comment DC’s Senior VP Publicity Courtney Simmons gave to ABC News from Burbank when asked for comment on the story we ran yesterday, that DC were to reintroduce a preexisting character into the New DCU,…
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. No, and I was there. Dan DiDio, DC Comics co-publisher said that a…
It seems an age since C2E2. But an interview conducted by CBR with Dan Slott at the show has only just gone online. In which Slott stated that Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso has been contacting other creators on other Marvel books to ensure they reflect… whatever change is coming with Amazing Spider-Man #700 towards the…
