Well, there's Batman.

Yeah, but he's undiagnosed.

Welp, Dial H is canceled.

I think within a few months the only DC books I'll be reading will be Astro City and The Unwritten. Oh, and I guess Lemire's new Vertigo book, too, once it starts up.

I guess I MIGHT stick with Detective as long as Layman's on it. It's no Chew, though.

AND Demon Knights. That was a long time coming, though.

ComicsAlliance may be coming back. This morning they posted ';)' with a heartbeat sequence form the Dark Knight Returns

God Dial H I love you SOFA KING MUCH.

You know what I hope is that this doesn't put Mieville off comics but makes him decide to do some creator-owned stuff.

Hell, I think he should file the serial numbers off Scrap Iron Man and do THAT as a creator-owned series.

(It would also make a great concept for a Hardware relaunch. If he wanted to do a book that was guaranteed to be really awesome and then get abruptly cancelled. Which, in fairness, he's already done once.)

Zaratustra · « **Reply #2309 on:** May 22, 2013, 10:01:57 AM »

That looks a bit too close to Enginehead to be pulled off.

I picked up a copy of Comic Book Creator #1; it features a big story on Kirby and interviews with Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross, and Derf Backderf, among others.

You can get a free bonus PDF that has extended versions of some of the interviews and such. If you don't mind signing up for a free account. Which, okay, I mind a little, but John Morrow is good people.

And had a pleasant chat with Valiant CEO Dinesh Shamdasani who gave me all the information I was looking for vis-a-vis Trinity Angels. I am now cool with them.

That's a relief.

Still no word from Priest and Bright on the new Quantum and Woody, but I would say this is a good sign that Valiant is acting in good faith and trying to do right by the Acclaim-era creators.

Johnston talks to Bright, who says

Quote

As far as I know Priest hasn’t spoken to anyone about anything concerning Quantum and Woody other than myself and that happened only within the last month or so… Our position with Valiant isn’t adversarial. The people at Valiant have been more than willing to talk about what is happening at the company and with Quantum and Woody and with Priest and me. What happens from here is yet to be seen, but everything thus far has been amicable.

Johnston adds:

Quote

And I’m told that even though they are not legally obliged to, Valiant are offering to pay royalties to creators on the publication of older work.

That's...something, at least. I still think it's a messed-up situation, but it's better than it could have been.

And now I can link this without feeling too bad about it:

Quantum and Woody Weekly at IGN, featuring a strip by James Asmus and Ty Templeton every week leading up to the #1 of the new series. The first one, well, it ain't Priest and Bright but I admit it made me smile.

No more teases; CA is back for real. It's still got AOL trappings on it but apparently is now owned by Townsquare Media.

Here's hoping the AOL stuff gets replaced by something else. Especially that nightmare of a comments system.

Typical. Another comic book death that is overturned in two months. Way to be predictable, comics industry.

Thad · « **Reply #2317 on:** June 03, 2013, 01:02:49 PM »

CA has the first 12 pages of the new Quantum and Woody.

It's not nearly as funny as the original, but I have to admit Asmus has captured the relationship between the two leads well.

(While shamelessly cribbing Priest's nonsequential storytelling and even his chapter titles. I'm not crazy about that part.)

This looks decent. And while I'm still pretty conflicted about the rights situation, I think Bright's recent comments are good enough for me to throw down a few bucks on #1 and see how it goes.

Lottel · « **Reply #2318 on:** June 04, 2013, 03:55:25 PM »

So. Superior Spider-man, Hawkeye, and Indestructible Hulk. Anything else Marvel is knocking out of the park?

Thad · « **Reply #2319 on:** June 04, 2013, 03:57:45 PM »

I hear good things about Defenders. Or New Defenders or whatever it's called.
