That the number of female authors not only willing to write, but are actively interested in writing for mainstream superhero comics is even close to 10% of the total is actually rather surprising to me.

Stay classy, comics industry.

Here's a more detailed recap of the panel. It sounds like Djurdevic had some valid beefs with the way he was treated.

18 months later everything was back to normal.

You think they're really gonna drop Power Girl? I haven't exactly been following her, but the series she got seemed like it was fun and had some character. Not a lot of ongoing mainstream series are terribly fun right now, that I can think of.

This is largely why I dropped Secret Six, and well, comics as a whole.

I thought that "fun" comics sold poorly, though.

The Amanda Conner series was pretty great, but she hasn't been on it for awhile. She's got something new coming, and I'd be happy if it were more Power Girl but I'd be happier if it weren't.

Most obvious solution to the Power Girl problem is, since we know they're bringing back the JSA on Earth 2, to just use her there. But given that Johns has already done a convoluted "Earth-2 already has its own Power Girl" arc, I don't expect that.

Still, they're going to need to either simplify her convoluted origin or just knock over the fourth wall and play it for laughs.

Greg Pak just finished his run on Incredible Hulk that he started just before Planet Hulk began, through to today. It's probably going to go down as the best run the character ever had, and I strongly suggest reading at least Planet Hulk to, well, basically everyone.

It would have been great to have the Hulk stay as King on his planet so he could get involved in Cosmic Marvel.

But my inbuilt prejudice about names like Skaar!

It's ok. He lives in the Savage Land now, so his name is actually the least stupid around.

6 page preview of Morrison's Action Comics.

Looks pretty good, actually! Has a lot of the crazy, socialist stuff that came from Superman's bronze-age debut. (The scaring the shit out of a business owner bit is straight out of the newspaper strips that used to run).

More on the Atomic Comics closing:

Don't remember if I mentioned this or not, but Samurai Comics has managed to open up a location in the space RIGHT NEXTDOOR to the flagship Atomic store. Great move for them, lucky that the space was available and that they got it on such short notice, and great news for the Atomic customers.

At the moment it's pretty barebones; it's got the last couple weeks' releases right upfront, and some of the popular trades you'd expect would be big sellers (Walking Dead, Fables, Sandman, Spider-Man both Essential and Brand New Day, Batman: Year One, and so on), plus some toys. It's a pretty good stock for having only been there two weeks but it looks like, well, a collection that was thrown together on two days' notice.

I didn't chat with the manager myself but I overheard him saying that they'll be moving more stuff in as time goes on, and that they expect they'll be in this location for at least a few months, though after that they may relocate to a different spot in the same area.

I didn't buy anything, but I think it's great that there's a store there, and, like Atomic, I'll be sure and poke my head in every time I'm in the neighborhood and see if I catch anything that strikes my fancy.
