This is a pretty interesting thing DC is doing, making Flashpoint #5 the only comic they ship in the last week of August And it'll be even more interesting to see Marvel's reaction, and then see how action in the shops plays out that day Maybe Marvel will load up on that week[...]

Yeah, yeah, I know you're all up in the air about the final page spoiler to Flashpoint But I'm not going there right this second I'm more concerned about the revelation that Wonder Woman and her nation of Amazons killed all the British men, all thirty-two million of them in a massive misandrist holocaust, possibly[...]

I'd been giving some thought as to what this headline was going to be ever since I saw all the retailer talk about Flashpoint #1 on twitter #comicmarket this evening — and in the meantime DC made a headline up for me with a new promo image and a short Geoff Johns quote: "Today, the[...]

However, in order to get the last 2 issues out before Flashpoint they had to be done in an impossible time frame that there was no way I could do it without the work suffering Talking to my editors we felt it wasn't the right situation for me, and that we[...]

Asking them how they've been ordering the first issues of both Marvel and DC's big summer crossover titles, Fear Itself and Flashpoint. It's not pretending to be a comprehensive study It's probably not that representative But the gap in figures looks beyond any reasonable error of margin. Fear Itself is ahead of Flashpoint by a significant degree. Indeed,[...]

All those other Flashpoint series and one shots with creative teams that I didn't cut and paste yesterday And look, Canterbury Cricket and Reverse Flash as Bleeding Cooled previously… no Britannia though, I wonder what that would have been? Also note ex-editors Mike Carlin and Pornsak Pichetshote get writing gigs Is that what you call  payment[...]
