This morning, I sent a note to legendary comic book creator Keith Giffen congratulating him on the news about Lovecraft. He asked what I was talking about.

Harley Quinn #71 has an interesting premise, as revealed in DC’s full March solicitations. The book sees Harley and Booster Gold team up to try to solve a murder mystery.

Hi folks, Jude Terror here. Rich asked me to take over his in-progress DC solicitations article because he got an urgent phone call he had to take. I’m not going to say who it was from, but the caller’s name rhymes with Horace Ronson, and I’m told he wanted to discuss policies “to the left […]
