Hm -- apparently Chris Sims has written a Dracula comic which he's pitched as a tongue-in-cheek all-ages adventure that contrasts Dracula's depiction as the ultimate badass in such media as Castlevania with his rather pathetic portrayal in the original novel and indicates that the latter was sort of a low point in his career. Should be fun, the art by Steve Downer looks like a good fit, and they're selling it DRM-free for a buck.

This looks like a riot, thanks.

Uuuuugh

Goddamn it, stop giving everybody armour.

COLLARED armor.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1623 on:** November 14, 2011, 05:53:08 PM »

Wasn't Darkseid the one guy who already had collared armour though?

Büge · « **Reply #1624 on:** November 14, 2011, 07:51:03 PM »

Not really. He had sort of a helmet-dome and tunic ensemble going on.

Thad · « **Reply #1625 on:** November 14, 2011, 07:55:46 PM »

And skirt! Don't forget the skirt!

Mongrel · « **Reply #1626 on:** November 14, 2011, 10:11:08 PM »

Well, maybe. I guess the important thing is that either way, he's never had a neck.

This editorial makes some good points regarding Marvel's treatment of women. DC may be treating some of its female characters poorly, but at least they've got female characters headlining books. Marvel is canceling (or has cancelled) just about every book they're printing starring a woman in the lead role.

Bleedingcool: photos teasing impending Valiant relaunch.

I had just finished joking that I hope they bring back my favorite 1990's Valiant/Acclaim book when I noticed that the word "Quantum" is in fact sitting smack-dab in the middle of the second photo.

Still a pretty huge longshot, but goddammit, I am officially starting this rumor. Make it happen, Valiant.

Bleedingcool has lots more sales listed.

You know, I was planning on donating $50 to CBLDF anyway; if I can get a copy of Paying For It, then so much the better. (Am ambivalent about whether I want a personalized copy of Chester Brown's book about going to prostitutes, but what the hell.)

And on the subject of charitable donations, Stan Lee wants you to donate to the Hero Initiative for his birthday.

Alan Moore interview.

It's about what you should expect from an Alan Moore interview at this point: alternately brilliant and myopic, insightful and curmudgeonly. The damn thing appears to stop just shy of getting into the "What's with all the rape?" question, but still, a worthwhile read.

He also recently did an interview where he discusses the impact of the Guy Fawkes mask in regards to protests.

Also, I can't help but hear his slow, sonorous voice whenever I read any interviews of his.

Preview of Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan's Conan the Barbarian #1

Such gorgeous art.

Name them all:

This is one of those no-win scenarios they teach you about in Starfleet, isn't it.

...the one with the big red bat on her chest is Batwoman, Dooly.

And there was a female Robin in Dark Knight Returns. (Also Stephanie Brown but I don't think she counts.)
