For Spawn 220, the twentieth anniversary edition of Spawn, Todd McFarlane is doing variant covers aping his fellow Image artists. We've seen his Savage

The variant covers have done a fine job of selling Avengers Versus X-Men to stores of late. This is our first look at the black-and-whiteing of Ms Marvel

Saga #1 from Image Comics debuted at number forty on the Diamond charts in March, beating out the higher profile fantasy title Fairest #1 from Vertigo I understand that The Walking Dead from Image may well be joining it in the top fifty for April. But the comic that should really be busting the charts for[...]

A few years ago, before they got into publishing comics properly as Dynamite Entertainment, Dynamic Forces would occasionally publish an original comic, shorter than a usual comic, for about twice the price, using name talent and a name franchise, and marketing it as a collectible. One such comic was Witchblade: Demon by Mark Millar and Jae[...]

Rick Olney, the man who hired a bunch of comic creators to work on an anthology that he never paid, then threatened legal action against when they told people (although no one has ever heard from his non-existent lawyer) and eventually became one of the most pilloried names in the comics industry… is working on[...]

I pored over each panel, I swiped from a few, and Flex Mentallo seemed to be the perfect encapsulation of his work. It was matched by these colours that seemed to pop out, in the comic about comics, this fiction about fictions, everything seemed to be hyper-exaggerated, it just worked. I still have my back issues –[...]

The Gary Friedrich situation caused much furor amongst comic book artists, wondering if they were at risk of any future action by any publisher for

Here is a panel from one of the final pages of Avengers Vs X-Men #1 from Marvel Comics The print edition. And here it is again, in the digital edition. Note that the digital edition very kindly points out that this is a Shield Helicarrier, and where it is positioned but not in the print edition. Please also[...]

As well as grabbing the fifth spot with Avengers Assemble. Of late, DC has increasingly improved its grip on the top sales in comics, with even Aquaman outselling every Marvel title It's worth noting that while Marvel now have three books in the top five, Aquaman – and now Batman And Robin too, are still outselling[...]

It cannot have escaped your notice that I am writing four comics being published this month, for Boom! Studios Parodies of the Marvel Studios movies, they are Iron Muslim, Captain American Idol, ScienTHORlogy and The Avengefuls. Well, it seems, every time I mention them, there is a sales bump And another And another And now, with[...]

The cover to Worlds Finest #3 there. Man, that's got to smart.

Image Comics put out a new edition, and Humphries began receiving offers from everywhere I stopped by his table on Sunday to find out about that book, Higher Earth, and the new stuff he has coming out I left with a copy of Fanboys vs Zombies, and it was even better than I hoped it[...]

Micah Baldwin has just made rather a big announcement concerning the future of their digital distribution and publication of comics And, it seems, other things too They are pulling out of the App business and going nuts deep into the eBook system of publication instead. Micah Baldwin of Graphic.Ly writes; As you may have heard, today we[...]

Yet its writer, Brandon Graham, has a knack of turning the strangest of concepts into comics gold Always swimming against the stream, he actively avoids traditional storytelling conventions and channels influences from weirdly wonderful foreign creators who often go overlooked in America Not only does this set his work apart from most other titles on[...]

This is the Frank Quitely variant cover for issue 3 of Channel Evil from Renegade Arts Entertainment. Available digitally (only issue 1 was printed),

Earlier last week we saw some images of Dave Elliott's future plans for comics, from both Heavy Metal and a new Monster Massacre volume For a man known for working for a number of prominent comics publishers, some wondered if it could be a blast from the past, of the days of A1… When asked on[...]

In the new issue of Mudman (out today folks), Paul Grist states that due to low sales, his Jack Staff series is no more. At least for now. That if it

He spoke to everyone! Chrissie Zullo is something of a triple-threat in mainstream comics: young, talented and female She's exactly the type of creator that readers are demanding, but Marvel and DC don't seem to be able to deliver, or claim don't exist I wanted to find out how she managed to break into to the[...]

Its booth is huge and its merchandise is at its finest with every corner hosting a bounty of comics from every title in its own exclusive area You get a very nice taste of this company and you leave with a "got to see it again before I leave attitude." The one think about Avatar[...]

(UPDATE: Yes, coming out in  December 2010 rather than 2011 might explain why.) Despite Image rising, publishing the kind of comics that one would once have expected from Vertigo, it is still Vertigo that gets the lion's share of those nominations. But for superhero comics, Marvel dominated, DC's nominations mostly taken up with Vertigo, the new 52[...]

Apparently this was announced at ECCC, but no one picked up on it. Until now. Supurbia, the superhero Boom! series from Grace Randolph and Russell
