The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #2 - "Blade of the One Foretold"

[laughing_tree]

"[Artist Ben Dewey] and I did have discussions about how much we wanted the Champion to subvert expectations, and in the end, we wound up with what you've since seen. For various story and theme reasons, I chose to make him male and white, but was insistent (and Ben was not remotely resistant!) that he shouldn't be a big strapping Conan type..." -- Kurt Busiek

[skemono]

As I'm sure some of you read already, Marvel announced a new series to come out of their upcoming Secret Wars event. And while I'm wary of anything to do with that, this has me pretty excited.

"Film and TV is show business, with the emphasis on business, and is about commerce first. Then you can fight through for the art. Whereas comics flips that idea on its head, and we have that luxury just doing what we want to do creatively." -- Brian K. Vaughan

DC making radical changes in June - The New 52 is over...

[icon_uk]

Much of the comic-sphere is abuzz with DC's announcement about what's coming in June after their "Convergence" event ends...

For one thing the "New 52" will no longer be used as a tagline or a concept. (After more than three years, that seems fair enough, it was hardly "New" to begin with... and also, they're down to 49 titles, so it wouldn't even be accurate.

A LOT of info there, and at least one cover scan that I think is worth discussion!

Some Marvel variant covers for Women's History Month in March

[icon_uk]

Since March is Women's History Month, Marvel are putting out a series of variant covers, all by female artists, and since they are not limited to drawing female characters, aside from being (IMHO) a much better idea than DC's "Cheescake covers" (We need to rely on Grayson covers for the "Beefcake" covers) some of them are just gorgeous!
