blackruzsaMy titles are obviously very well thought out.
I was wondering if anyone's seen the fun little internet joke Thor and Loki put out in Journey Into Mystery #622. From the CBR Preview.
( But he's a half-giant, not a troll. )

Also, why do we have two tags for the Joker? Shouldn't we get a standardised one?

New Cloak and Dagger Series!
Apr. 10th, 2011 02:25 pmrainspiritOh, dear. Just as I thought that I'd been finally weaning myself off superhero comics, my old favourite B-lister duo start getting the treatment they deserve: Reported by Bleeding Cool News, it looks as if a Cloak and Dagger new series is about to take off, with Nick Spencer and Emma Rios at the helm!
I've read Nick Spencer's Morning Glories series and I really, really like it. It'll be interesting to see how he handles Cloak and Dagger; hopefully the series won't be too concerned with the inane Spider Island mucky-muck it'll be arising out of. (Though I suppose a Spider-Man cameo or two wouldn't hurt - they've always seem to have had an interesting friendship.)
Does anyone know any examples of Emma Rios' art? Wouldn't mind checking out her work to get a better idea of what the finished product's gonna look like.
( For legality... )

perletwoSince there's a bit of a discussion of the most recent Supergirl reboot's character swings and roundabouts going on in the Casstoons post, this seemed like a good time to post 3 pages of Superman/Batman annual 5 which address some of those issues.
A Reign of Doomsday tie-in, the basic setup is Sh*&, Meet Fan. Kara and Dick are trapped in the Watchtower with Doomsday and Cyborg Superman, who's turning the satellite into a giant weapon. Kara has apparently gotten hit with synthetic magic energy and is too ill to fight, so Dick gets her to sickbay, which he explains the JLA somehow turned into a "panic room" - it's cut off from all other systems, Cy.Sup can't reach it to manipulate it, and it's shielded from magic energy. Kara's well while she's in there, but only while she's in there. Dick leaves her to fight the Gruesome Twosome by his lonesome, and Kara accidentally triggers a full-body diagnostic scanner, which informs her she's dying. dun dun DUNNNN!
Through comms she passes word on to Dick, who in mid-battle tells her how to initiate sickbay's holographic Dr. Mid-Nite AI. Holo!Pieter confirms she's dying but can find no organic cause. So, Dick suggests one more option - the holographic Dr. Fate AI.
( Your life is in your own hands. )
She does as he prescribes, and rejoins the battle. And then things get exponentially worse, but that's a tale for another post.

More Flashpoint preview covers
Apr. 10th, 2011 05:53 pmicon_ukNewsarama has a lot of covers up for July's Flashpoint cover. See them all here
( But a few under the cut... )

kamino_nekoFor those not in the know, the First Wave universe is a recently created sub-line within the DC line. It's based primarily on pulps, although a few comic characters who fit into the pulpy universe - Batman, the Blackhawks, the Spirit, and nominally Black Canary (hasn't yet appeared) - are included. It's been shown in a Batman/Doc Savage special, a First Wave mini, and Doc Savage and Spirit ongoing series. This week another First Wave special came out, written by Jason Starr and drawn by Phil Winslade. Below the cut are a total of 4 pages out of 33, which I think do a fairly good job of contrasting the styles of the three leads of the book - Doc Savage, Batman, and Richard Benson, the Avenger.
( More blahblahblah from me, and the images under cut. )
If nobody else does, once it's old enough to be open for more posting by me, I'll post a few more pages, to give a better look at the three. Or at least Bruce and Benson (The scene with Doc and Ham before Bruce shows up isn't all that interesting, really.)
I'd really like to see them do more with First Wave Batman.

icon_ukit's that I can give credit where credit is due. I'm not a fan of much of Devin Grayson's output, but she can write a darn good character scene, Jim Lee tends to leave me unimpressed, but he can draw a darn pretty Dynamic Duo from time to time.
And so, in the interests of fairness and honesty I have to say that I liked this inteview up at newsarama
( In which Judd Winick speaks about his forthcoming arc on Batman and Robin.... )
