But what about her artist Ed Benes? He was absent from DC's April solicitations. A few days ago he posted on Facebook; Oi pessoal, hoje eu estou usando esse espaço para, para avisar que estou me afastando dos quadrinhos por um tempo, talvez um ano ou dois eu não sei, o fato é que isso ja era[...]

UPDATE: The Marshal Law hardcover is doing is it as well again A 500 page hardcover for under a tenner… The price of the 100 Bullets Deluxe Book 4 on Amazon.co.uk has glitched again, down from the cover price of £37.99 to £9.59. If past experience is anything to go by, it won't last long[...]

One familiar name who I was surprised to see in DC's editorial credits for the most recent issue of Earth Two was Mike Cotton As editor of the book. Ex-editor of Wizard Magazine who was there until almost its dying days, he is also the publisher of Champion! as a comics magazine app, though that has[...]

DC Comics and stuff Here's what I've been hearing. Conflict between creative and editorial is on a bit of a high right now This does vary from editor to editor it seems, but the common thread is that plots and scripts are accepted from writers to an editorial brief… only for that editorial brief to change,[...]

This is DC's offering for Free Comic Book Day, on 4th May this year Superman:  The Last Son Of Krypton #1, the first chapter of the now-collected comic by director Richard Donner and Geoff Johns and drawn by Andy Kubert, with Superman fighting General Zod and the villains of the Phantom Zone. But it will also contain[...]

Although Andy Diggle and Tony S Daniel are lined up to start their Action Comics run with issue 18, I understand that Grant Morrison and Rags Morales will

In April, all the DC new 52 comics will have a surprise, secret, cover reveal, giving away something happening in that month's comic Indeed it was such a surprise that sometimes not even the writer knew when they were writing the comic. But that does give us the opportunity to come up with our own ideas. Consider[...]

You remember the scene from Seven. "What's in the box?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1giVzxyoclE Yeah, that one. Though I preferred this one;

The 60th birthday for MAD Magazine in April. And cartoonists Sergio Aragonés, Al Jaffee, Peter Kuper, Tom Richmond and more will be will be drawing variant tiered covers for certain DC titles. So the availability of Justice League Of America #3, Justice League #3 and Batman #19 Mad variant covers will depend upon the lowest DC New[...]

I understand there are more retro-firings off DC comics to come I also need to write a big article concerning the current state of DC Comics and apparent editorial/creative issues, but that will take considerable research, question and fact-checking While for now, I can just cut and paste from blogs and Twitter So guess what[...]

Aw man… I was told that when Paul Cornell left DC Comics for Marvel, he'd still be doing Saucer Country Clearly DC Comics disagreed. Issue 14 of the intelligent political alien conspiracy that drew parallels with alien conspiracy and US immigration strategy with greater success than anything I've ever seen, will be its last, shipping in April. Also[...]

Detective Comics #19 would have been the 900th issue of the comic if they hadn't have done that New 52 relaunch thing. So, in April, they'll be doing an

Jim Starlin is the new writer of Stormwatch from April, replacing Peter Milligan. But can you guess the artist from these examples below? UPDATE: Yvel

We told you a week ago that DC was going to have to start announcing that a number of people had been taken off books, even before they started – with the unfortunate problem that solicitations had run and PR had been issued. In a PR-arranged conversation with CBR, Bobbie Chase and Bob Harras announced that[...]

but still. Secondly, expect a lot those  creative changes we were talking about to be announced at DC today for April. Thirdly, I have confirmed that, yes, in April, DC are publishing gatefold covers for their New 52 books And that all these are the first half of said cover Fourthly, yes so that means Nightwing is[...]

On Friday, DC Comics let IO9 report that Charles Soule was taking over writing Swamp Thing, and then did the same for Newsarama letting people know that James Tynion IV was on Red Hood And The Outlaws. For both,  we informed you of these events at a previous juncture a few weeks ago. Well, no one else[...]

Mattel and its infamous Matty Collector Club has a new line... He-Man has its Club Eternia collector club. Well this is Club Black Freighter. I am sure

From an interview between Tom Spurgeon and Mark Waid, talking about working as an editor at DC Comics  under executive editor Dick Giordano; I was actually offered this job about four or five years ago at DC Dan for a while wanted to move on to a different part of the company He invited me to[...]

Louis Falcetti writes; I like the quiet epics. The stories that explode and dazzle but remain under the radar, even when bearing the greasy fingerprints

Thanks to Gotham Spoilers who have done some fine URL farming, here are a number of covers for DC Comics in April. Except each looks like the first half of an image. Could they be the first half of gatefold covers for all of April's DC New 52 comics? And could these be the "Holy Shit" covers[...]

Here's a look at the charts for 2012 for toys and games sold in comic stores and distrubuted in North America by Diamond Comic Distributors and Alliance Games.

With Justice League Of America #1 soon to launch, DC Comics are keen to try and capture a little of that lightning and inject it into other titles. Such as the comics Green Arrow , Katana, Justice League of America's Vibe, all featuring characters now part of Justice League Of America If you hadn't guessed that[...]

Is it me or is it a familiar beard? Maybe there will be some clues in the kind of things he says. Well, he didn't like the film did he? Certainly he seems as belligerant towards DC icons, especially ones he co-created, as ever. But that's okay, as we know with Before Watchmen, DC always wins.. Comics courtesy[...]
