It’s the New York Post so I think we can believe it. Possibly.

Geoff Johns gives the paper the official line, “We changed his name for a lot of reasons. One […]
From George Lucas: “Ralph McQuarrie was the first person I hired to help me envision Star Wars. His genial contribution, in the form of unequaled production paintings, propelled and inspired all of the cast and crew of the original Star Wars trilogy.

Dear DC Comics, A couple of years ago, you very kindly sent my daughters a box full of DC merchandise for kids. My very picky five year old daughter Eve looked through most of the merchandise and was dismissive of it, deciding only to keep the Wonder Woman colouring in books and the Raven costume. […]

Dave Wallace writes for Bleeding Cool; Welcome to back to Jack of All Trades. This week, I’m choosing to run an entire column of reviews spotlighting a publisher that might not be as familiar to US readers as it is to those of us in the UK: Titan books. As well as publishing material in […]
A couple of interesting mysteries emerged on the net today: one having to do with the New 52 character Pandora, the other having to do with Marvel Entertainment COO Joe Quesada. Based on nothing more than a hunch, I wonder if Joe’s infinite mystery (I see he’s said he’ll have a new twitter icon on […]

Congrats Billee, you gave us all a lot of fun! The DC Message boards are being deleted to make way for a new snazzy […]
That’s all she wrote folks. Once you got passed the web forwarding system embedded on the emails that sent out – that crashed pretty much immediately – this was a relatively fair system. And it worked. If you got in within the first minute, then you probably got to buy all the tickets you wanted. […]

A number of people are reporting problems getting into the San Diego Badge Sales. It’s not, however, a problem with the server. But a malformed link. The e-mail send out to those with Member IDs gave people a link to click on. The link however, does not work when you click on it. Instead, copy […]
