Lying In The Gutters – 10th September 2010 – Go West DC Comics!
The cover of CLiNT #2 will feature Hit Girl, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Charlie Brooker. Something like this maybe?
Everyone's a twitter in New York. There's a teleconference in the air, planned it seems for tomorrow. The only thing gossipy Manhattanites are sure about is that it will most definitely mean the move of DC Comics to the West Coast of the USA, three time zones away.
Naturally there have been all sorts of measures put in place to deal with the huge personnel upheaval. There will be moving expenses. There will be resignation packages. Some will be able to stay where they are. I'm told most DCU editors will make the move west. No news on Vertigo yet though.
Maybe we'll find out tomorrow. Maybe never!!! Maybe it's all just bunkum! Either way, I'm be sticking close to Twitter tomorrow.
Talking of bunkum, here's this week's run through the week's top stories.
